Boy George Spoke Out on Today

This morning Boy George visited the Today show the only way he could: via satellite. He spoke to Meredith Viera about his visa denial in an upbeat tone, noting, "I got so much love from the people of New York every day, people were so supportive. I was getting honks, and people coming out of manholes going, ‘Go on, George!’ I was surprised by how much affection I received. Everyone talks about it being a humiliating experience. I didn’t feel humiliated. I thought it was a really good experience.” He added that if the tour doesn't happen now, "it will happen in the new year.”

We'll trade Martha Stweart for him...on a temporary basis. But he musn't wear any foolish makeup or sing like an Osmond. He needs to straighten up and get a real job: operating cranes.
