From George Michael Gives Up on Escape:
The multi-millionaire had been due to appear via videolink for a conference with his lawyers yesterday before a bail hearing at Blackfriars Crown Court, London.
But the application was suddenly withdrawn. A clerk for his barrister, Mukul Chawla QC, confirmed the hearing had been pencilled in the lawyer’s diary, saying: “It was in the diary, but now there’s nothing in his diary today.”
A court spokesman said: “It’s been cancelled completely. There are no new dates for the hearing.’’
The climbdown came after Michael had a two-hour visit from his partner Kenny Goss, 50, in a private room at the jail.
Asked how Michael was doing, Kenny said as he left: “I think he’s doing OK.”
From George Moved to Soft Cell:
The former Wham! star – who bottled out of a legal bid for freedom yesterday – hid under a blanket as he was whisked out of Pentonville Prison, North London.
He had hoped to get bail while his lawyers launched an appeal against his “excessive” eight-week sentence for a drug-fuelled car crash.
But George, 47, was warned by his high-powered legal team he stood little chance of winning – and his sentence could have been nearly DOUBLED. A legal source said: “George was playing with fire. He was quite fortunate to escape with a two-month stretch.”
