Boy George Won’t Let the Dream Die

Just because you can't go on Celebrity Big Brother doesn't mean you couldn't clean houses for a living.

How did YOU spend your Christmas holidays? If you were Boy George - who has had what may be charitably described as "a shitty year" - you were busy petitioning a British judge to let you appear on the tenth and final season of Celebrity Big Brother, but to no avail.

Everybody say, "Awwwwww....."

A court had squelched BG's plans to appear on the reality show (which would have paid him some serious dough, something he, er, needs to help pay off legal bills) on the grounds that he is still on probation for assault and false imprisonment - you know, that little deal that went down with the male escort awhile back. According to MTV News "Court officials worried that allowing George to appear on the show would undermine the probation system and would cause people to lose faith in the courts."

BG appealed the ban, suggesting that the court's elaborating, after the fact, upon the terms of his probation were unnecessarily cruel. But a couple of days before Christmas a High Court judge dismissed the appeal.

Britain's The Sun reports, however, that BG is "refusing to let his Celebrity Big Brother dream die - telling fans he still hopes to be part of the show despite a judge banning him from entering the [Big Brother] house.... He hinted to fans on his Twitter page: ‘I still may do something on CBB, I just won't be in it!'"

 Fun fact: Boy George only has 29,000 Twitter followers. By contrast Ashton Kutcher and Britney Spears each have over 4 million while Kim Kardashian and John Mayer each have almost 3 mil. Everybody say once again.... "Awwwwww......."
