Wham! Are! Back!
You read that right (if you haven't read it already). Well, they're "back" for a one-off Christmas concert in London's Wembley Arena -- and it was Georgie's idea! Fancy that, George being desperate. Michael is in so much trouble these days, you'd think his next step would be rehab. But making nice with Andrew Ridgeley is gonna help with those legal fees! The Mirror reports:
They will be joined by their backing singers Pepsi and Shirlie to make it the pop event of the year. Despite George's recent problems - last week he was cautioned for possession of cannabis after being found again slumped asleep at the wheel of his car - he has been determined to persuade Andrew, also 43, to team up with him again.The Mirror also gives us a list of Wham!'s Top 10 UK hits:...
Pop superstar George began his first tour in more than 15 years in Barcelona last month. Critics hailed his return to live performing, with one reviewer noting that although George's "trademark stubble is now greying, he still has one of the finest voices in British pop".

I used to love Wham rap cause my ex room mate always played it and now He's come out of the closet. Fuck! He made me do mad crazy gay shit when I was in college. Nothing sexual, or anything like that, but music wise he got me into anything box and pet shop boys.
