George Michael may be packing his bags. British press are reporting that the troubled 43-year old singer - who just last week admitted to being a drug addict and has been found guilty of driving under the influence - can't handle the tabloid heat:

The kind of media coverage I've been having, I have started thinking for the first time in my life that actually I shouldn't be living there.

I think there are places I could live and still be able to visit home where I would not have to worry about this constant surveillance. I have got to think seriously about whether or not my love for my country is keeping me somewhere which is not good for me.

So, where's the pot-smoking pop star headed? According to TMZ, Dallas, where he has a house. Because, you know, the tabbies won't find him there…
