George Michaels at it again.
George Michael has apologised to his fans after being arrested in a public toilet for possessing crack cocaine and cannabis.
He was held after a tip-off from an attendant at underground lavatories on Hampstead Heath, North London, on Friday.
When officers arrived the 45-year-old singer was still in the toilet and police found the drugs on him. He was taken to a police station where he admitted possession of class A and C drugs.

When officers arrived the 45-year-old singer was still in the toilet and police found the drugs on him. He was taken to a police station where he admitted possession of class A and C drugs.
Police decided not to refer the matter to the Crown Prosecution Service for possible further action, saying the singer had shown 'remorse'.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: 'I can confirm that a 45- year- old man was arrested on September 19 on suspicion of possession of drugs in the Hampstead Heath area.
'He was taken to a North London police station where he received a caution for possession of class A and class C drugs.
'He has been released and there will be no further action.'
In a statement last night, Michael apologised for 'screwing up again' and promised to 'sort myself out'.
Michael, whose pop career has earned him a fortune put at £70million, is a well-known face on Hampstead Heath.

The toilets are a few miles from his £5million Highgate mansion and are a known location for ' cottaging', where gay men meet for anonymous sex.
Inside the toilets there is a 'no loitering' sign intended to discourage the activity.
The incident is the latest scandal surrounding the singer since his arrest in a toilet in America ten years ago.
He had spent years refusing to comment on his sexuality, but that changed in 1998 after he was arrested in public toilets in Beverly Hills for engaging in a lewd act. He was fined £450 by a Los Angeles court and ordered to do community service.
The incident forced him to disclose his homosexuality and his relationship with American Kenny Goss.
In October 2006 he was found slumped over the wheel of his car. And in May last year he pleaded guilty to driving while unfit through drugs and was banned from driving for two years.
Tests showed anti-depressants, cannabis and the illegal 'dance drug' GHB in his blood.

The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder
I saw this on another site thought id share. The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder" by Vincent Bugliosi, the famed L.A. prosecutor. Bugliosi is widely regarded as one of the country's best prosecutors, puts forward what he considers a rock-solid case for how Bush can be prosecuted for murder once he is out of office. His argument is that Bush knowingly took the country into war in Iraq on false pretenses, not an "honest mistake", and he lays out the evidence and arguments that prove this. Bugliosi indicated that because 4,000+ American soldiers have died, any state in which a soldier died has jurisdiction to bring the case, and thus 50 attorney generals in the U.S. are in a position to do something. Interestingly enough, not one major publication in the mainstream media has reviewed the book. Most people don't know it's even out there. And that's understandable, because when someone of Vincent Bugliosi's stature puts forward an "airtight legal case" that will lead to Bush's conviction of murder...well, certainly "nice people" don't want to discuss that, do they??I hope you will all read this book. Here is a link to it on amazon.com:http://www.amazon.com/Prosecution-George-W-Bush-Murder/dp/159315481X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221586864&sr=8-1

9/11 anniversary
NEW YORK - The nation paused Thursday to mark the seventh anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks with heartfelt remembrances at the World Trade Center site, the dedication of a memorial at the Pentagon and a planned visit to ground zero by the presidential candidates.
Relatives of victims killed at the World Trade Center gathered in a park in lower Manhattan for readings from dignitaries and a recitation of the names of the dead. Later Thursday, Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain were due at ground zero to pay silent respects.
"Today marks the seventh anniversary of the day our world was broken," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at the start of the ceremony, calling Sept. 11, 2001, a "day that began like any other and ended as none ever has."
The ritual in New York included moments of silence in the morning at 8:46, 9:03, and 9:59 and 10:29 — the times when two hijacked jets slammed into the trade center buildings and the twin towers fell.
Services were also held in Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon, where a new memorial was dedicated at a ceremony attended by President Bush. The Pentagon Memorial contains 184 benches — one for each victim that will glow with light in the night.
Among the speakers at the New York ceremony were three who were young children when their fathers went to work at the World Trade Center seven years ago and never came home. The children are now about 10, 11 and 13.
"I remember playing in the yard with him. I remember him pulling my wagon. He was strong. He always made me feel safe," said Alex Salamone, wearing the soccer jersey of his father, John. "I wish I could remember more, but we were so young when he died."
Family members and students representing more than 90 countries that lost victims on Sept. 11 read the names of 2,751 people killed in New York. At the same time, family members descended to the nearby footprints of the twin towers and paid their respects to their lost loved ones.
Relatives of victims began arriving at dawn at ground zero, now a huge construction site. American flags were draped over silent cranes, and some families held signs saying "We miss you," "We love you" or "You will never be forgotten."
The ceremony included many tearful remembrances as family members reflected on the amount of time that has passed since 2001 and expressed their support for American troops.
"They took from us innocent lives in the names of their God, and it seems some people have forgotten what happened here seven years ago," said Rosaria Reneo, sister of victim Daniela R. Notaro. "Our lives are filled with pain and always will be. Thank you to all the men and women fighting for us."
The family of Sept. 11 victim Michael Diehl went to ground zero wearing white T-shirts bearing his photo and 9/11/01.
"It's still very hard for us to come here. It doesn't get any easier," said Diehl's sister-in-law, Norma Linguito. "I just wish they'd get the memorial up so we can have something, a marker, to remember everyone."
McCain and Obama planned to visit the site after the ceremony concluded Thursday afternoon. The candidates agreed weeks ago to pull their campaign ads for the day and were appearing together Thursday night at a forum on volunteerism and service.
Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani spoke at the ceremony — as he has every year in New York — drawing applause from some in the crowd. As the names were being read, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine and New York Gov. David Paterson walked down a ramp to lay flowers in the pit where the towers stood.
Last year's reading by Giuliani, then a presidential candidate, drew protests from family members who said the city was ill-prepared for the terrorist attacks under his leadership and questioned whether he should be there while running for the White House.
Many families had no opposition to McCain and Obama's visit, but some questioned whether the visit was necessary. "It's probably going to be more commercial. This really should be a day for the people who lived and worked down here," said Jane Wixted, who lost her police officer son Glen Pettit on Sept. 11.
But Pettit's former colleague, Chris DeAngelo, was glad they were coming. "One of them is going to lead this nation," he said. "And for that reason, both should come here to see what happened."
At the Pentagon memorial dedication, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld mourned the airline passengers and those who "one morning kissed their loved ones goodbye, went off to work and never came home."
The Pentagon memorial is the first of three major Sept. 11 memorials to be completed. The 2-acre park, located at the spot where American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon's west wall, consists primarily of 184 cantilevered benches, each bearing a victim's name.
The president and first lady marked the anniversary during a moment of silence on the South Lawn of the White House, then went to the Pentagon where the president spoke at a service.
In Pennsylvania, several hundred people gathered to read the names of 40 victims killed in Shanksville where Flight 93 came down after passengers reportedly stormed the cockpit to thwart terrorists' plans to use that plane as a weapon like the others. McCain was among those honoring the victims.
Memorials are years away from being built in Pennsylvania and New York. As in past years, two bright blue beams of light will shine at night on the New York City skyline, in memory of the fallen towers.
The New York ceremony included one more victim name than last year. The city restored Sneha Philip, a woman who vanished on Sept. 10, 2001, to its official death toll this year after a court ruled that she was likely killed at the trade center.

Subway Fires Former Gay Porn Star
22-year-old gay porn star Kurt Wild was fired from his day job at a Subway restaurant outside of St. Louis when a customer recognized him and threatened to boycott the fast food joint if Wild wasn't fired.
Wild says in an email: Hey everyone.I just wanted to tell everyone that I was just fired from my work at subway because I have done gay porn. A customer said they wouldn't even eat there at subway anymore because of my past work and said that if I wasn't fired then they would boycott the store. What I say is, if one person can try to ruin me everywhere I work... maybe I should take a stand and boycott their store too if they can't let people's privacy be treated right. I should have the right to work anywhere I can and it isn't right or fair that people can keep me from working simply because of a "gay" issue. If a girl did what we do it would probably be ok.. and if a guy does straight porn.. he is bragged about. When I do gay porn, I feel a bit lynched for the rest of my life. Not right. Thanks for reading.- Kurt Wild" (BGay.com)People have the right to make their own choices, and Mr. Wild should not be fired from employment due to sexual orientation and his former career in pornography. Sadly the state of Missouri does not have employment protections for people based on sexual orientation so Subway did not violate any laws.
I urge you to join me in calling on Subway to apologize for firing Mr. Kurt Wild at one of their St. Louis locations and letting them know we will not stand for this type of discrimination.For specific store contact please type in St. Louis, Missouri.http://www.subway.com/Applications/CustService/frmCustomerService.aspxSUBWAY® Restaurants325 Bic DriveMilford, CT 06461 USAPh:1.800.888.4848
