Time, much like his 80s tune Time, has certainly has not been kind for Boy George as these before and after photos show. But the courts certainly gave George a Christmas Gift by sending a Gay man to a Men's Prison for 15 months. As his song goes "Karma, Karma,".....

British musician George O'Dowd, also known as Boy George, arrives at Snaresbrook Crown Court, in east London, on January 16, 2009. The singer-turned disc jockey was convicted on December 5 at Snaresbrook Crown Court of detaining Norwegian escort Audun Carlsen, 29, who claimed he was beaten with a metal chain as he tried to escape the musician's flat. Sentencing is expected later Friday.Photograph by: Shaun Curry, AFP/Getty Images

Former Culture Club frontman Boy George has been sentenced to 15 months in jail after being found guilty last month of falsely imprisoning Norwegian male escort Audun Carlsen.

Tried under his real name George O'Dowd, the 47-year-old Briton denied the charge of false imprisonment at his London flat in April, 2007. After his conviction on December 5, judge David Radford had warned him that he faced a prison term.

Oh yeah. The Boy likes real men? Well, by George, he's going to heaven!

(ps, this is a uniquely fun comment from someone who doesn't have an ounce of homophobia in him. So please, no pc replies from the Gay Rights Group in Cuba Wisconsin. I sent you guys a fat check for christmas, remember, lol!)

As Jerry Seinfeld once said "Not that there is anything wring with that"? Course if you chain your sex slave's WRISTS to a hot radiator, and hold him hostage, well you can see why some of us, like me may have a problem with that!
