George is quoted as saying the following in his interview with Chris Evans, which will air on Monday:

“I was assured I wasn’t going to prison but I thought I was, and it was much easier to take because I felt it was deserved,” he said, in an interview to be broadcast Monday.

“This was a hugely shameful thing to have done repeatedly so karmically I felt like I had a bill to pay. I went to prison, I paid my bill.

“Remarkably enough — I know people must think it was a really horrific experience — it’s so much easier to take any form of punishment if you believe you actually deserve it, and I did.”

Is George Michael out promoting the re-release of Faith?  Nope.  He’s in Australia having a good time:

And it looks like he has found a new pal in Packed to the Rafters star, and budding jazz/pop performer, Hugh Sheridan.

It’s understood the unlikely pair crossed paths at celebrity Sydney nightspot Ivy late Saturday night after a day of revelry at Good Vibrations music festival.

Spies say Michael and Sheridan got along like a house on fire, hanging out most of the night, before the Faith singer kicked on to Oxford St day club Phoenix.

“It was amazing to meet a music legend like George Michael,” was all Sheridan — pictured here with the Fast Love singer and a pal from Adelaide — said yesterday.
