Another classic example of the English media behaving like arseholes.
This time George Michael was the victim back in 2006.
He tweeted today about his experience with a few 'journalists' from News International. I've copied this straight off of his Twatter timeline so you have to read it from the

If you missed that, here's the NOTW story @georgemichael was referring to:
http://notwats.blogspot.com.es/2006/07/ ... shame.html Oh, and I forgot to mention that I'm 5 foot eleven, and can't do a dutch accent to save my life
I was going to save it for the memoirs, but f**k it
a member of the public than just another celeb complaining about their lot. So I sent it to them.
was a perfect example of just how horrific the methods of News International had become, and that the inquiry may be more sympathetic to...
(I'm trying not to be cruel here, but many of you will recall that he was signicantly older and not the best looking man on earth)
I thought that the letter , written by a man whose only crime was to be chosen as someone perfect to humiliate me...
Sick f***ing bastards.
Other than The Sunday Mirror,who said that they might follow up his story but only if (and here comes the sickest bit !) he was
HIV positiveHe told me that he had approached several television and news outlets to refute the story and make it up to me, but no one was interested..
Because the man I met was about 6 foot four and had a Dutch accent". But by that time he had signed his statement.

In the letter he told me that two journalists had followed him to his home in Brighton and told him that they had night vision pictures of...
Poor bastard...he wrote a letter to me to apologise for the story, which made the front page of The News of the World several years ago.
Let me explain further...
sorry, who was blackmailed (literally) into giving News international a completely fictional account of meeting me on Hampstead Heath...
You have to laugh really. Truth is though I didn't want to participate, I sent the inquiry a letter from the poor man who blackmailed into..
they spoke to my legal team. Funnily enough, had they wanted my phone number they could probably have got it from News International!!
A 'spokesman' says that I was never asked to participate. By which I suppose they mean they didn't actually have my phone number, so...
So apparently I'm lying about being approached by the Leveson Inquiry.
Get ready for today's rant ...
Morning everyone.....
