George Michael couldn't think of a better way to get arrested than in a public toilet!

Pop singer George Michael has been arrested in a public toilet in London for alleged drug possession.
"A 45-year-old man was arrested on 19 September on suspicion of possession of drugs in the Hampstead Heath area," a Metropolitan Police spokesman said.
The singer was taken to a police station and cautioned for possessing class A and class C drugs.
Last month the singer completed a two-year world tour called 25 Live, his first for 15 years.
After performing "final" dates at London's Earls Court and in Copenhagen, Michael said he would be retiring from arena and stadium shows.
He said he would leave the "bells and whistles" of large-scale tours behind after the tour because he wanted a "quieter life".
During the concerts, he performed his number one hit Outside in a police uniform in a jokey reference to previous arrests.
