I regret not being a big enough man to accept the possibility that I was simply someone's one-night stand; I regret telling my story to the tabloids; I regret defying the trust of Clay; I regret hurting him, his family and his fans; I regret that I started a blog that ridiculed him; and I regret letting my vengeance take control of my sensibilities."

Culture Club without the Boy? No. Way. I doubt very much that they can get the old fans to follow the new stuff without George as their frontman. Good luck, tho.

Wow, no more homophobic comments about "Superman Returns." A frickin' miracle has taken place. A gay director does not automatically make a movie "gay" or a 70-year old comic book hero "gay" either! I'm sure Bryan Singer will be grateful the attacks on his professionalism has ended.
