10 ‘Gaycons’ That Should Go Away for Good

Boy George

Not exactly the “Karma Chameleon” of which he sings, ’80s icon Boy George has slighted fans by attempting to perform concerts high on heroin and landed himself in handcuffs for falsely reporting a burglary, an offense for which he was fined and sentenced to community service. Of course, everyone deserves a second chance. And George got one. But then he went and mucked that up by assaulting and imprisoning a male escort. Reports claim that George bound and beat Norwegian rent boy Audun Carlsen because he thought the hooker was stealing personal photos from his computer. As a result of the fracas, the Culture Clubber was placed behind bars, serving only four months of a 15-month sentence that should have lasted forever.

Andy Cohen

Host of Bravo’s reunion shows and self-promoting chat-fest “Watch What Happens: Live,” Cohen seemingly came out of nowhere. Except he came from somewhere – right down the hall, where he serves as the network’s senior vice president of production and programming. One can contemplate how the decision was made to pluck the walking advertisement for anti-tanning from his desk and put him in front of the camera, but one doesn’t have to: It seems as if Cohen coyly campaigned for the job, because, well, he thinks he deserves to be on TV . In a interview with New York Magazine earlier this year, he said: “I don’t have a lot of self-doubt or cracks in my self-confidence.” That Jackhole of the Week award he gave himself recently is well earned.
