Wake Me Up Before You -- Uh Oh!

Our favorite leather-clad pop singer, GEORGE MICHAEL, was arrested Saturday night on suspicion of drug possession after passersby noticed him slumped in his car at a busy London intersection. That bastion of British reporting The Sun reports that police found the dazed and confused star, 42, parked at a crazy angle at London's Hyde Park Corner at 1:50 a.m. On George's person they found mary-jane and GHB, that all-purpose party and date-rape drug. Also, in the trunk of the car, was a stash of pornos and sex toys, including gimp masks. Awful curious, eh, George?

MONDAY Update: Today George issued a statement about the incident saying it was:

"My own stupid fault, as usual. I was in possession of class C drugs, which is an offense, and I have no complaints about the police who were professional throughout." He stressed his concern "that people know that I was properly tested by the police doctor -- who stated to the officers present that I was not impaired in any way and should be allowed to drive home."

In a P.S., he added: "I promise I won't make a record out of this one -- even though it's tempting."
