Long-ass article in the Daily Mail

Daily Mail

A couple of curious/funny comments:

1) But the truth is that even some of those closest to him suspect that rather than the “access all areas” account his publishers were trumpeting this week, the book will — yet again — be merely an excuse for the sort of self-pitying self-justification that sadly comes so naturally to the hugely talented Michael
- Ahem…

2) Last night, a friend who has known him since childhood told me: “God bless George, but if you are expecting him to confess his failings you’ll have a long wait. He simply cannot admit, even to himself, that he is often the author of his own misfortune.”
- David Austin, anyone?

3) However, one subject he is said to be planning to discuss in the book, the Mail has learned, is his “close” relationship with Princess Diana. Friends say Diana became “obsessed” with the idea of beginning an affair with her friend the singer after her marriage to Charles floundered. Despite his homosexuality, George is said to have admitted “giving serious consideration” to sleeping with the Princess.
- Old news. I suppose he’ll admit he wrote “You know that I want to” to her now, then.

4) He [Anselmo] is also said to have carried on relationships with a series of other men when he was apart from George.
- That makes two of’em then…

5) But what he has never been able to own up to, say those close to him, is that while he was a male fantasy figure for the nation’s teenage girls during his time with Wham!, George was hopelessly in love with the other half of the pop double act, the resolutely heterosexual Andrew Ridgeley. One friend confided: “To this day I still think George is a bit in love with Andrew, but it is something he has never been able to admit to. But it was obvious to all of us around them and I think George was jealous of all the girls who used to hang around Andrew. It’s always been George’s secret.”
- Please… even if that was true on some level, there’s more of a chance of the other George (Bush, that is) admitting that he’s royally fucked up in his time as President.

Oh well. Should be… interesting. 6 joints a day should lead to an interesting read. Delayed, but interesting. I’m sure
