George Michael was arrested by an undercover cop in an apparent sweep of
the Will Rogers Park in Beverly Hills, purportedly a favorite cruising
spot for Gay Bikers.  Michael reportedly said, "sex is natural sex is
good, not everybody done it, but everybody should."

The 1980s pop icon who has persistently denied rumours that he is gay was
charged with lewd conduct and released on $500 bail.  Michael denies
that he is guilty and told his fans "they gotta have faith."

When arrested he gave police his real name Georgios Panayiotou.  When
asked if he ever used any aliases he told them "George Michael."  Michael
was allegedly looking for some "fastlove" and his agent is worried that
the event may tarnish his image as a "father figure" and "Jesus to a
child."

The arresting officer allegedly saw Michael performing a misdemeanor lewd
act alone in the pubic mensroom.  The former lead sinder of "Wham"
explained he was just working on his new solo act, "Whack."
