People Magazine had an interview with George Michael in January, in which he talks about old videos, the ripped jeans from the “Faith” video, his best songs, Andrew Ridgeley, and more.

George Michael has given an interview to the Big Issue, talking about Christmas, the Wham! days, and Live in London.

Apparently, George Michael dropped the “f” word during Chris Evans’ show on BBC Radio 2.

At one point the singer, who is a car fanatic, was asked why he has never appeared on Top Gear as the “star in a reasonably-priced car”.

Believing there would be an automatic delay on his words, he replied: “Other than the fact I’d be afraid of coming last in that f****** …”

Evans quickly interrupted to apologise, before informing Michael there was in fact no delay on the show. The DJ said: “George is so relaxed and we do apologise for that – we didn’t mean to offend anyone.”

“I’m sorry everyone,” added Michael.

George Michael Is Still a Big Pop Star has a photo of George Michael from yesterday and says that he was leaving the recording studio in London.

Michael tells us that the George Michael biography will be on the Biography channel next week on Thursday, February 7 at 11 p.m. and Friday, February 8, at 3 a.m.  Here is the description.

Portrait of the British musical and cultural icon who has sold 67 million albums worldwide and produced over a dozen hits in a career that has spanned more than 25 years. From the time he and a friend formed a high school band and became the duo ”Wham!,” Michael’s star has ascended. A meteoric solo career followed on the heels of his band days as audiences fell in love with his distinctive vocals and soulful deliveries. But his temperamental personality has led to professional feuds with record executives and fellow artists, and a strong appetite for drugs, alcohol, and sexual encounters has resulted in multiple scrapes with the law.

Considering that ABC has been giving George Michael a lot of love by featuring him in the multitude of promotional commercials for “Eli Stone,” I wonder if the tides are going to change about George Michael in the U.S. The article, Tribute-show Acts are not the Real Deal, Professional Copycats Complain, goes to show that the powers that be on The One and Only wouldn’t let a George Michael impersonator on the show because George Michael was too controversial.

The George Michael impersonator Robert Lamberti, who is a former Stars In Their Eyes heat winner, was told he could not be on The One and Only because the former Wham! star was too controversial.

“They replied back to me with a list of acts and I asked them why he was not on it. They said it was because of his political views about the US President, George Bush. Because the winner goes to Las Vegas, they didn’t feel that the American people were liking George Michael at the moment,” he said.

For Mr Lamberti, business is showing no signs of abating. Riding the crest of the wave of the 1980s revival, he was returning from performing at a Marks & Spencer staff party in London on Thursday night before a gig last night in Doncaster. “The more that George is in the news, the more work I get. When he was arrested it was absolutely brilliant,” he added.
