George Michael to Sue
According to the
BBC, George
Michael says he is to take legal action against a man who claimed he had a gay
encounter with the pop star.
George Michael told BBC News 24: "I'm suing the individual involved who I have never, ever
seen, let alone wanted to have any kind of sexual encounter with, and I'm
currently investigating suing the secondary sources of libel."
He said those sources had added to "Rupert Murdoch's story" by saying his
partner Kenny Goss had called off their civil partnership ceremony but when he
had received £1 million he had reconsidered having the event.
"These are things that are not really acceptable," Michael said.

Thanks to Ann for pointing us to the Richard and Judy transcript
on
Remarkable’s Buzzin’ Blog. There are a
ton of articles on how George and Kenny have called off the wedding, but the
transcript on Remarkable's Buzzin' Blog shows that this just isn't true.
