Douglas Booth WORRIED ABOUT THE BOY
new BBC drama

We are thrilled to announce that the BBC are making a film drama all about George.
The 90 minute drama 'Worried About The Boy' will focus on George's early career and how he leapt from being a cloakroom attendant to a cultural icon.

Newcomer Douglas Booth (pictured) will play the role of George.
Matthew Horne (from Gavin & Stacy, Catherine Tate Show etc) will play Jon Moss.
Other legendary characters include Steve Strange played by Marc Warren (best know for Hustle), and Malcolm McLaren played by Mark Gatiss (League Of Gentlemen).

Controller of BBC drama commissioning Ben Stephenson said: "Worried About The Boy will be an evocative and visually enticing drama about one of our most iconic British pop stars."
The BBC Two film, commissioned as part of the channel's 80s series, has been written by Tony Basgallop, who has worked on Hotel Babylon.
Filming starts later this month.

George himself is delighted at the news of the project snd can't wait to see the finished result.

CC and Fedex CULTURE CLUB and FEDEX

Culture Club will be the subject of a major advertising campaign for the US company Fedex in January.

The TV ad features a man who wakes up from a long coma who is told that Culture Club have broken up, and the advert ends with him becoming very distraught because he never got to to see them live!

The advert will be screened in the US first of all during the Fedex Orange Bowl on January 5th, and from then on will be on heavy rotation.

The advert is vey light-hearted and is a positive change from the negative press that George has been getting recently in the states. It's good PR for George and Culture Club to feature in an advert for such a US household name.

Effective or not.... you decide! ;)

NO ONE BUILT THIS MOMENT
feat. American Heart

Danish ambient band BLISS will release there new album No One Built This Moment on mp3 digital download on the 27 April 2009 and a CD album will follow on 8 June 2009.


The album includes a version of George's track American Heart, which features female vocals from Alexandra Hamnede (famous for the Bliss hit 'Kissing' which features in last years movie 'Sex and The City").


Bliss on Boy George:
Up until the last minute Bliss was unsure if they would succeed at getting Boy George on board, but finally an e-mail ticked in from the androgynous icon of the 80’s that read ’You can call me tonight’. And so it happened that the former lead singer of Culture Club features on the fourth Bliss album with the catchy track ‘American Heart’.
”Boy George is very excited about the songs, and he complimented us for noticing how well his voice works with our music,” says Marc-George Andersen and Steffen Aaskoven. ”He has a soul-ish voice and a timeless tone that suits our musical universe, as we aim at making timeless music.”

To find out more about Bliss and to hear a sample of American Heart go to:
