    Boy George Has A Swipe At Pete Doherty

    Boy George has hit out at Pete Doherty saying that he’s not a proper rock star with no history.

    George was reacting to the news that Doherty sprayed blood at a cameraman earlier this week and says he doesn’t understand what all the commotion is about.

    He told mtv: “I don’t know what he’s done. What’d be interesting would be if he was like Mick Jagger or someone that has a history, but he’s made one record.

    “It says something about the state of our industry that we’re so desperate for a rock and roll star… and we slag off Kate Moss for being a coke head and slag off Boy George for taking drugs but with Pete Doherty it’s like ‘Oh please be a rock and roll star!’ But what has he done?

    “The Pete Doherty thing, I just don’t get it.”

    • George: He has made three albums, not just one...and the amount of internet material probably equals about 11, so just hush...you clearly have no idea. Former addicts slagging on current addicts is really getting old. First Ozzie, then Hawkins, now Boy George, who’d care to have the next swipe at Pete?

    • THREE records, george...Pete has made THREE records...plus all the sessions, unreleased stuff and work with other acts (Wolfman, Litt’lans, Dot Allison etc) although I wouldnt get upset, this is how boy george makes his living now, insulting others, hes meant to be an icon for gay men but all hes done lately is turn into the stereotypical cliche of the grumpy shrivelled up old (f)hag for shame george, for shame
