Boy George To Pick Up Garbage

Posted on June 28, 2006 by popdirt

Jimmy Kimmel joked during his ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ monologue on Tuesday night, “Boy George, a judge sentenced him to five days of community sentence. Boy will pick up garbage for the Department of Sanitation in New York. That must be a great morale builder for the guys that work at the Department of Sanitation. That their job is what someone is sentenced to when they’re arrested. But how cool would it be if Boy George picked up your garbage. If someone told me 12 years ago that the lead singer of Culture Club wld be picking up trash on the streets of New York — I would have said that’s about right, to be honest with you.”
