'Scrubber' Boy George cleans up his act

 

 

Dirty work: Boy George must clean New York's streets

 

It's broom or bust for Boy George as he is ordered to clean some of New York's dirtiest streets or face going to jail.

The former Culture club singer, who joked 'I've always been a scrubber', will spend five days of community service sweeping the streets of Chinatown and Little Italy as punishment for falsely reporting a burglary at his Manhattan flat last year.

The 45-year-old, whose real name is George O'Dowd, has been given a shovel, broom, plastic bags and gloves and from pictures it clearly shows he is getting his hands dirty.

A New York Sanitation Department spokesman said: "A lot of tourists means a lot of street litter. This is the epitome of community service. "It's not like he's going to be working in an air conditioned office."

Cleaning in the summer sun, the singer who was charged with wasting police time is now revelling in a completely different type of waste.

That's the second really interesting bit of news you've started a thread with today!!

 

Street cleaning can't be as bad a jail for poor George...he'd never cut it in there! Happy sweeping!
