August 14 is an important day. Not because it’s the anniversary that Duncan was killed by Macbeth – really, it is – but because it’s the day that Boy George starts to clean up New York all by himself.

Boy George has already reported for his community service duty in New York this morning, and has been given a shovel, broom, plastic bags and gloves to help him get scrubbing for five gruelling eight-hour shifts on the streets of New York. But on the bright side at least Boy George might find the remains of his career while he’s out there.
