Barring any last-minute detours by a cruisy park restroom, George Michael says he’ll be getting committed this winter as soon as the law allows. Not committed in the, “God, what was I thinking with Listen Without Prejudice?” way, but in the romantic, tax-saving legal way. The new civil partnership bill that becomes law in Great Britain on Dec. 21 is lighting a fire under Michael’s presumably hairy ass to make it all legal with his partner of ten years, Kenny Goss. But while the couple will be filing all the right forms, Michael denies he’ll be strapping on a Vera Wang original for the walk down the aisle: he told the Associated Press that “I’m sure Kenny and I will be doing the old legal thing, but we won’t be doing the whole veil and gown thing.”
In the revealing closer, Michael pretty much called out his future groom as a well-kept man: “You never know, I could get hit by a bus and the poor man could have nothing.” Zing! Michael’s hits include the mega-selling solo disc Faith and later, the very gay disco single Outside, a tongue firmly in cheek take on his very public arrest in April of 1998 for soliciting sex from a real Beverly Hills cop.
Yeah, we’d still do him.
