Boy george…cancel that
The State Department has put a stop to Boy George’s US tour plans due to his legal status back home in London.
In London he is out on bail waiting a trial on false imprisonment charges.
George is asking the decision makers to reconsider because he had a thank you show for the City of NY Department of Sanitation’s family Day on August 17th. – he doesn’t want to miss that!
You might remember that he performed community service for the department in 2006.
Victoria Beckham
Victoria already has a jean line and now she plans on creating a super expensive line of dresses at NY Fashion week.
Posh says, "It will be something completely different from what I've ever done. I'm just putting it together at the moment, but they will be very upscale dresses and likely will start at around $1,200 retail. I'm going to be using very expensive fabrics and finishes, lots of embroideries."
The Spice Girl also said that she hopes to branch out into shoes and bags but can't do those now because she's a "control freak" and doesn't want to expand too fast.
