George Michael

By Yogchick(noreply@blogger.com) I swear, I cannot get enough of this man. He is so beautiful inside and out. I know a lot of you are probably thinking, "God, when is she going to get off this Keith Richards kick?" Well, never, but I promise I'll not post anything about him for a very long time after this. Maybe post something on his...

By noreply@blogger.com (Yogchick) At the age of 19, during the making of Wham!'s second album, George had worked out he was bisexual. He told Andrew Ridgeley and close friends immediately, and was ready to tell the world. "I had very little fear about it, but basically my straight friends talked me out of it. I think they thought...

By noreply@blogger.com (Yogchick) George went into therapy as soon as Anselmo was diagnosed, and it was three years after his death before he felt able to consider another relationship. Then, in 1996, he met Kenny Goss, the chisel-jawed Texan who shares his life to this day.

By noreply@blogger.com (Yogchick) I recently saw the movie ADVENTURELAND and felt nothing. It's about a recent college grad working a summer at this amusement park. It stars that quirky teenager from THE SQUID AND THE WHALE playing the same kind of person: enigmatic, intellectual, ironic yet innocent. It's the same charact...

By noreply@blogger.com (Yogchick) GM: I nearly came out when I was 19. My two closest friends at the time were Andrew Ridgeley and his girlfriend, Shirlie. I'd been friends with Andrew since I was 11 and friends with Shirlie since I was 15. I had come back from a trip to Cyprus on my own, where I'd had a few experiences that, well, ope...

By noreply@blogger.com (Yogchick) GM: If you tell me that I have to do something, I'm going to try not to do it. And what people don't understand in the equation of my relationship with the press is that I've had people talking and writing about my sexuality since I was 19 years old. Andrew Ridgeley and I were immediately the cente...

By noreply@blogger.com (Yogchick) George Michael: Well, George was the easy part. As far as Michael, I had always liked the name, and my father's brother is named Michael. I thought it was a good idea because there are a lot of Greeks in England with the second name of Michael; as a child I had a Greek friend whose second name was Mi...

By Yogchick His parents also frowned on a friend he’d met when he was eleven. Unlike the shy, bespectacled and pudgy Georgios, Andrew Ridgeley was a cocky pubescent fashion plate. “There was always a bit of tense air when I went round there,” says Ridgeley. “His parents didn’t like me for quite a while.”

By Yogchick He has spent the last few hours talking about his astonishing fame; about the gossipy British tabloids (“They write bout me in the same way that they write about Joan Collins and the royal family”); about the sad fact that Brits are becoming more and more like American, always looking out f...
