There are a multitude of reasons I am frightened of Boy George. His makeup. His music. His penchant for chaining up male escorts and beating them. So I can’t really blame Jade Goody’s widower Jack Tweed for being fearful of George. Tweed is serving time in Edmunds Hill jail for assaulting a cab driver, while George is there for the aforementioned beating of an escort. And apparently they keep meeting up in the showers, which has left Tweed utterly terrified. And not just because he’s now seen Boy George naked.
JAILED Jack Tweed turned tail and ran from the showers in prison — after THREE encounters with naked gay star Boy George. Jack, 21, was stunned when he bumped into the Culture Club icon in the wash block of the nick where they are both serving sentences. Shy Jack, whose Big Brother star wife Jade Goody died of cancer last month, repeatedly met beefy George after being sent to cushy Edmunds Hill jail in Suffolk.
A pal said: “Jack isn’t exactly the most comfortable person when it comes to getting attention from other men. As soon as he saw Boy George was standing there naked having a wash he was gobsmacked… He grew up listening to George’s records but never imagined the first time he met him he would be stark naked in a prison shower.”
Sources said Jack TWICE went to the showers only to find 1980s icon Boy George, real name George O’Dowd, already in there wiping himself down. There was fleeting eye contact and Jack immediately turned around and fled. The THIRD time he went into the changing room where Boy George was getting undressed for his morning wash.
A pal told The Sun: “Jack knew what Boy George was in jail for and didn’t want to take any chances. The first time he saw him he just turned white and legged it.” George, 47, who stands 6ft, is said to be an intimidating figure for young prisoners at the jail.

I bet. But not because there’s anything particularly intimidating about being 6 feet tall. More that a guy who’d beet a man with a chain and is supposedly into some serious S&M style stuff is a pretty scary figure in jail. But really, if I were Jack Tweed I’d be afraid of Boy George in the shower because it means seeing Boy George in the shower. Naked. “Wiping himself down,” as the Sun was so kind to remind us. What a horrifying mental picture. I have such a vivid image in my mind right now of a fat naked bald man with a fully made-up face toweling off.
I’m going to avoid all the “don’t drop the soap” clichés and just say that I really empathize with Jack Tweed here. Sometimes people can get out early if they undergo some sort of trauma. I really think this should qualify.

well, that’s the price you pay for breaking the law.
I haven’t kept up with what Boy George did to get himself into jail. I’ve loved him in the past for his out-there, this-is-who-I-am outrageousness. His autobiography was a very good read and I even saw him on Broadway, the one Rosie O’Donnell produced and which closed so quickly. I actually liked the show and his performance in it. I’m not sure of your gender, JayBird, but I suspect you’re male for all the support of Tweed. Boy George is entitled to take a shower in jail without all the rant against him.
“Sometimes people can get out early if they undergo some sort of trauma. I really think this should qualify.”
It’s funny because it’s true, and also, I’m pretty sure you should be given some sort of an award for tacking that onto the end of your article. Feels good man.
Tweed is a nasty little thug. Two prison sentences in the space of two years, the first one for asaulting a 16yr old boy with a golf club, the second for assaulting and threatening to stab a cab driver while the cab was moving. Trauma? Think I’ll save my sympathy for his victims.
My head is about to explode from the jokes from this situation.
As far as I am concerned they should have a shared room LOL….both of them are as twisted as a hot pretzel !
