    Boy George believes "Christmas is about" over-indulgence

    The Karma Chameleon hitmaker is planning to sit down to a hearty meal on 25 December and knows he will regret his vow to "east as much as [he] can" later.


    He exclusively told BANG Showbiz of his plans: "To eat as much as I can, fall over in prime, wish I never done it...I mean that's what Christmas is about, 'Omg I can't believe I ate that, another potato.' That's what I'll be doing."

    George got into the festive spirit early thanks to his role as the Ghost of Christmas Future in new movie Karma Christmas and he was thrilled with the part he was offered.

    He said: "I'd much rather be the ghost of the future than some old tired old has-been. Bitter old ghost with vinegar and soggy pants, I like being the future, what it could be, if you change your mind, what could happen."

    Meanwhile, the 64-year-old star recently hit out at the double standards in society, whereby individuals are exposed to sexual and graphic content online and in entertainment each day, yet some people are aghast if they see a woman breast-feeding their baby in public.

    He added: "It's a strange thing at the moment. We live in this over exposed world where no one is the same as anyone, sexual things, personal things, nothing is hidden, and yet people are upset if they see a bit of penis or an exposed breast - that's were we all come from.

    "I don't understand the disgust we have for our own bodies for watching people breast feed."

    The Culture Club singer is also concerned about the rise in hatred towards minority groups.

    He said: "Never more in my life have I understood that we are individuals. Diversity is a fact of life, it's not a discovery, everyone is acting like they've discovered it, it's a fact. No one is the same as anyone.

    "I think the conversation is insane at the moment when there are so many things we can be focusing on.

    "I am a hippie, I want everyone to get on with each other, have fun. Nothing too scary."
