Bravo. This is one brave kid. He just made a new fan.
The Culture Club singer is moving from London to Los Angeles, and he believes you’ll want to follow the action. Boy George and his manager Paul Kemsley are teaming Bunim/Murray Prods and producer Cindy Cowan to develop a docuseries chronicling said relocation. The trio will exec produce along with Bunim/Murray’s Gil Goldschein and Jeff Jenkins. Plans call for shooting to begin this summer when the singer arrives in L.A. “If Marge Simpson met Dolly Parton and went dancing with Ziggy Stardust, it wouldn’t come close to what you’ll see,” Boy George said in announcing the project. “Why now — why not? Why me — who else?”Between this and the newly rescheduled tour dates, sounds like his throat polyp is all better. Still, with all these changes in his life, let's hope there is no crossover into A&E's reboot of "Intervention."
It was amazing to get the 'Q Idol Award' and it felt especially exciting after our reunion gig at Heaven. Here's to the future!
The other day I lamented Blondie's lame attempt at Christmas cheer. While I said it was hard for even a band as cool as they are to not come across as lame doing a holiday song, I wasn't exactly on target. Quite a few artists have brought their yuletide cool to the airwaves over the years -- including the Pretenders, Kirsty MacColl & the Pogues, Band Aid, Frank Sinatra and the Wilsons, whose original Christmas song ("Hey, Santa!") was better than anything they'd ever recorded. A few years ago I compiled my ultimate holiday favorites for the "Very Kenny Christmas" CD, and today I'll share three songs with you, including "2000 Miles," one of the worst videos of all time!
It may not be Tuesday, but I'm feeling awfully Joe.My.God. right now. No, I didn't become a bear over the weekend. But I do have a pair of tickets to Boy George's Aug. 14 show at Terminal 5 to give away to one of my lucky readers!
In his first New York City concert in 10 years, Mr. O'Dowd will be singing "The Hits of Culture Club and Beyond" -- and what a glorious string of hits they were: "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?," "Time (Clock of the Heart)," "I'll Tumble 4 Ya," "Church of the Poison Mind," "Karma Chameleon," "Miss Me Blind," "It's a Miracle," "The War Song," "Mistake No. 3" and "Move Away" all hit the American Top 40 between 1982 and 1986, making Culture Club one of the most successful bands of the new wave era. More recently, when not imprisoning male hookers or calling the cops on himself when he has 1,000 pounds of cocaine in his own apartment, George has made headlines as the writer and star of Broadway's highly underrated "Taboo" and as one of New York's most glamorous street sweepers -- ever.
