Singer Seeks Statue of Himself
George Michael has repeatedly told fans he's ashamed of himself for being arrested over incidents involving public lewdness, driving under the influence and being unnecessarily mean to pigeons -- oh, it's only a matter of time for the last one transpires -- but his self-esteem doesn't seem to have suffered all that much. The singer is reportedly getting ready to shell out over two million dollars for a rendering of his face made of 24-karat gold studded with diamonds, the medium of choice for artist Laban Roomes, who was featured on a recent BBC documentary about folks able to reel in well-heeled suckers (or, as the Beeb prefers to put it, who "demonstrate the entrepreneurial spirit). We'd never begrudge ol' George his bust, but we hope he's willing to throw a bone to former Wham-mate Andrew Ridgeley by ponying up a few bucks for his own doppelganger made from aluminum foil and Raisinets.

Wow, just imagine what even half of that statue's cost could do for people needing generosity and kindness.
But of course he would spend that type of $$ on himself, can we expect anything more?

George Michael was a "hottie" back in the 80's. I hope his golden likeness is retroactive.

I would rather see a statue of Ville Valo.

I don't know whats more shocking... the fact that he wants to spend that much money or the fact that he even still has that much money ?
