GEORGE MICHAEL HAD SEX TOYS AND GIMP MASK IN CAR

George blames himself for his cannabis arrest

By Fiona Cummins, Showbiz Reporter, And Caroline Hedley

GEORGE Michael yesterday admitted being caught with cannabis - and called his arrest "my own stupid fault, as usual".

The 42-year-old former Wham! star said: "I was in possession of class C drugs, which is an offence. I have no complaints about the police."

But the known cannabis user, found slumped behind the wheel of his car in the early hours on Sunday, insisted he was not under the influence of the drug while driving. "The doctor said I was not impaired in any way."

The pop star had sex toys including a gimp mask in his car when he was caught, it was revealed last night.
Police found the bizarre headgear, used in bondage, in his boot along with the cannabis that led to his arrest in the early hours of Sunday morning. George, 42, had been slumped over the wheel of his Mercedes near Hyde Park in Central London.

Last night the known cannabis user said the "only thing he cared about" was that people realised he was not driving under the influence of drugs. He said: "I was properly tested by the doctor, who stated I should be allowed to drive home.

"The only reason I didn't drive home was that the police accidentally immobilised my car." George, who will have to wait a month to find out if he faces drugs charges, said he had been "stupid".

The singer, who recorded single Outside following his arrest for lewd behaviour in a Los Angeles toilet in 1998, said: "I promise I won't make a record out of this one - even though it's tempting."

George told friends he was parked while dropping off a musician friend after a night out.

George Michael and Wham were so much a part of my life growing up in the 80s. I LOVED them to death. Interesting how my childhood idols are a bit freaky. (I'll post more examples soon.)

Oh yeah, I remember as a girl going to visit my cousin and seeing the poster up in her room of George with his fly undone. NICE. But that was before he outed himself by being arrested in a dirty bathroom or something like that...he is one odd dude. I hadn't heard about the gimp suit. Lordy.

When I read articles like this I just have to sit here and blink.


I remember listening to George Michael every Saturday on my drive up the mountain to ski(because he was always on the radio then)as a young teen. I would get this freeze/sun headache every time. So now when I hear him again I get the same freeze/sun headache.

If you don't understand about the freeze/sun headache you have never been skiing on really cold, super bright sunny days.

I remember "reserving" dancing to Careless Whisper for only the really cute guys. I loved that song. And (still under the delusion that he was straight) my junior-high self had a crush on George Michael. But I loved the guys from Duran Duran more!
