Gay lover tells George: the wedding's off

Gay lover tells George: the wedding's off By KATIE HIND, Daily Mail 15:04pm 25th July 2006

A source close to George Michael says plans for his lavish gay wedding to Kenny Goss are off [You cant help but feel sorry for George. Being sprung doing a beat is one thing but having it plastered all over the worlds press (and blogs) is another. And then there was the cannabis in the car, and the dunny in LA and the $100,000,000 income. Why doesnt he just hire rent boys???]

To mark their ten years together, George Michael and his American lover Kenny Goss had been looking forward to an Elton John-style gay 'wedding' ceremony followed by a lavish party.

But plans for the nuptials are off - after the singer was seen emerging from bushes following a sexual encounter with a pot-bellied, jobless van driver. "They are reassessing their relationship at the moment so there are no immediate plans," said a source close to 43-year-old Michael. "Things are very much up in the air."

Michael was forced to admit to the world that he was gay in 1998 after Californian police arrested him for lewd conduct in a public lavatory. Recently he was charged with cannabis possession after being found slumped at the wheel of his car in Hyde Park. In a separate incident he was questioned by officers after colliding with three parked cars and driving off without informing their owners.

His latest late-night escapade happened on Hampstead Heath, a mile from his £5million home in Highgate, North London. The News of the World caught him returning to his car after an encounter with 58-year-old Norman Kirtland, from Brighton. Sex in public places is illegal if it is likely that it can be witnessed by a third party. But a police spokesman said they were not planning to investigate as Michael had not been caught by an officer and no complaint had been made.

The singer has insisted in the past that he and Goss, 48, have an open relationship, saying: "Gay relationships are a bit different. I'm sure we'll be allowed to roam if we want to. But we love each other dearly." Only three months ago Michael, who is believed to be worth £50 million, told Michael Parkinson that he was to seal his relationship, saying: "We'll do it on our tenth anniversary, we'll probably do the formal legal thing then the party." But the source close to Michael yesterday admitted: "They do not feel that it is relevant now." Gay news for the Queer Australian
