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.
