George Michael’s Twitter rant about the EastEnders gay story line has received a response from the BBC:
“EastEnders reflects a wide range of issues. All soap characters face their own trials and tribulations in order to create drama, however EastEnders viewers will know that this is a story about Phil Mitchell who while struggling with his own relationship with his son, will do anything to protect him.”

I really have to disagree with “A crash course in how to tweet,” which critiques George Michael’s tweeting skills.
George has been great about trying out Twitter, and it’s nice to see him connect with his fans at such a personal level. I think he’s doing great, far better than I’m doing on Twitter!
The majority of fans following George Michael on Twitter would, of course, know that George’s comment to “Martin” was of course to Martin Kemp. Most of us are following Martin Kemp as well as Shirlie Kemp. Oh, and to the writer of this article, Shirlie is spelled with an “ie” and not “ey”

Michelle sends us: “Glee Put Faith in George Michael” …
GEORGE Michael is the latest pop star to get a tribute episode on musical drama series Glee.
It is believed that the third episode of the new series will be dedicated to George – and will feature the McKinley High Glee Club performing some of his hits.
Sony is re-working the singer’s 1987 album Faith – to be released worldwide in September to coincide with the show.
Bosses hope it will “introduce a new generation of fans to his music”.
The second series of Glee starts in the US on September 21 and is due here on E4 later this year.
Creator Ryan Murphy says the series will see tributes to Britney Spears and Sir Paul McCartney.
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.
