Guess Boy George is doing community service, picking up trash in NYC. Guess he falsely reported a burglary and the cops found a bag of cocaine instead. Great to see where stardom can take you!

Bit confused. 'Topped himself' means 'committed suicide' on this side of the pond.
He's doing a good impression of a dustman for a dead bloke!
The title made me jump too. Not that I would be too concerned, but it would be a proper news item wouldn't it.
I can't open the link from work, but I'm surprised that he's gone back there to face the music. The last time I heard anything about this it looked as though he would escape punishment by never returning to the US. He's lucky to get Community Service - they lock people up in tiger cages for cocaine possession in the US.
They only let them out twice a day to be beaten with heavy clubs.
Edit: The word Topped in the title of this thread should be changed to something more appropriate. Like Fingered.
Hilarious. I can think of people I'd rather see doing this, but it's a start. :)
Over here, top yourself means you've outdone yourself. Make sense?

When asked if he minded being a cleaner, the singer told reporters at his sentencing: "I've always been a scrubber."

I had to look up "scrubber". Now I get it. 
I was trying to think of Boy George songs to change appropriatley, but I only managed to come up with:
Do you really want to hurt yourself?
and
Self-harm-a Camelion
Which aren't very good.
Whenever I think about him for long, I just remember that he bummed his drummer despite the fact that the drummer wasn't gay.
Must be some guy to get a straight bloke to sleep with you. Or maybe he just had all the good drugs and the drummer wanted them.
Yes, that was probably it

looks like he just wanted to get out in the sun and get some exercise
Guess he couldn't buy off the cops with all those lucrative "Karma Chameleon" royalties :p
As long as it keeps him out of danger, and out of the recording studio

You got part of it. I meant it as a double meaning. Like you said, he out did himself, and also that he screwed himself. I'd change the title, but I think it's getting more interesting talk than if was more Brit english correct.

He might not have had any choice! You ever seen Boy George in the flesh? He's mahusive. Stood next to him on a tube once and he's bigger than me. And built like a brickshithoose. Well, he was from a family of Oirish boxers, isn't he?!
Er, but he did have on those daft cyberpunk trainers with 4" platforms.
Still a big cnut though!
To this post *NOT* being about Boy George killing himself as I had hoped before I clicked it
because it really is the next best thing
I can't believe he still has a manager. What the hell is there to manage? His hair? No. His weight? Not a chance. His package? Ding ding ding ding ding!

True. Much better this way, with everyone thinking he's killed himself. Many more views to the thread. Besides, we have to teach these limeys some American slang.

He did claim his dad was quite the boxer. I still think if you slapped him he'd start crying.

I watched "Where are they now" on VH1 some years back and George was on it. It was quite scary how he is STILL after that drummer. Seemed the drummer even has a restraining order on him and he was complaining about it as if he couldn't understand it. That's all he would talk about, how he was in love with him and how they shared precious moments together.....sorry, man meat in the blow hole is not my definition of precious.
