Carlsen, 29, also accused the former Culture Club frontman of swinging a metal chain at him as he fled the singer’s flat after a naked photo shoot.” He will be sentenced Jan. 19th. [Blade]

This is really serious! Boy could receive a weekend in jail, a year of probation and 100 hours of community service! But i’m looking forward to seeing his court-ordered TV commercial where he tells kids not to chain and beat their prostitutes. Haw haw.

My favorite bit was the ‘George is too FAT to have been considered a serious threat’ defense. That was hilarious!!!

Neither of you are taking this very seriously! This could mean the death of the Rave Scene, as George is such a popular DJ…
