George Michael News http://www.yogworld.com/blog Your Link to George Michael News Wed, 15 Oct 2008 03:11:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 en Explanation http://www.yogworld.com/blog/2008/10/14/explanation/ http://www.yogworld.com/blog/2008/10/14/explanation/#comments Wed, 15 Oct 2008 03:11:47 +0000 Melanie http://www.yogworld.com/blog/?p=268 Here’s a quick explanation of why you couldn’t get to yogworld.com for a few days.

Yours Only George as well as my other site are located on the same server, and have been on this server for many, many years.  The web host announced that it was going to move the sites to a new server as the old one was antiquated.  As many of you know, moving sites from one server to another is usually a disaster.  When they’ve made changes like this before, it’s always meant down time for the site. 

When they made the move, they basically didn’t connect the Yours Only George site with the domain yogworld.com.  The content was always there, but I was the only one who knew how to get to it.  I had to write to them for at least a day to make changes and get everything back to normal.  Even the mail was down during this time.

I’m sorry for the problems.  Even though I am taking a break from the site because of a new personal responsibility, I don’t have any plans to close the site.  Thanks for not giving up in trying to get to the site.

In a statement Michael said: “I want to apologise to my fans for screwing up again, and to promise them I’ll sort myself out. And to say sorry to everybody else, just for boring them.”

George Michael has been arrested in north London public toilets for possession of drugs, a newspaper has reported.

The claims have been made in the Sunday People and a spokesman for the Met Police confirmed an arrest was made.

He said: “I can confirm that a 45-year-old man was arrested on September 19 on suspicion of possession of drugs in the Hampstead Heath area.

“He was taken to a north London police station where he received a caution for possession of class A and class C drugs.”

Also, look at George Michael in Class A drug arrest on Hampstead Heath:

George Michael has been cautioned for drug possession after being arrested at a notorious meeting place for gay men.

The 45-year-old pop star was caught with a small amount of cannabis and a Class A drug, possibly cocaine or Ecstasy, on Hampstead Heath in North London.

It is the fourth time in three years that the pop star has been arrested on drugs charges but until now he has been caught only with so-called soft drugs such as cannabis.

If there is something of major importance (new tour dates, new CD), please put “URGENT” in the subject of your e-mail, and I will post it as soon as I can.  Please do not write to me about anything that is unrelated to new George Michael news; you will not receive a response.

Thank you.

If you had your druthers, what musical guest would they land?
You know, I was so in awe of George Michael. I could not believe that they got him. When we read the pilot, I thought, “Oh, nice try, but you’ll never get him.” You know, it’s like, this will never happen. And then, cut to, I’m acting with George Michael. It was fantastic. He was so willing and nervous and sweet. He didn’t realize, you know, you have to sort of like stand in one spot? Like on my close-up, he’d be covering the camera. But he was so sweet. It was a great thrill to work with him.
