Instant Karma for ‘Chameleon’? Boy George To Pick Up Trash

boy_george_trash_2.jpgKeep an eye out in two weeks for former Culture Club frontman — er, let’s just say singer — Boy George, who will be out in the streets in late August for a week collecting trash from New York’s gutters as part of a made-for-late-night-monologue community service sentence he earned for falsely reporting a burgulary at his apartment. Armed with a shovel, broom, plastic bags and gloves, the singer could be assigned to pick garbage in Chinatown, Little Italy, Nolita or parts of the Lower East Side.

He has until August 28 to complete the five-day sentence.
