Boy George 'will be picking up litter'

Boy George will perform his court-ordered community service by picking up litter on New York City streets in the August heat, a sanitation spokesman said.

The former Culture Club singer will be issued a shovel, broom, plastic bags and gloves when he reports for five days of work on August 14, department spokesman Vito Turso said.

“This is the epitome of community service,” Turso told the Daily News. “It’s not like he's going to be working in an air-conditioned office.”

Born George O’Dowd, the singer was ordered to do community service after pleading guilty in March to false reporting of an incident.

He called police with a report of a burglary at his lower Manhattan apartment in October, and the responding officers found cocaine inside.

Turso’s statement was the first indication of what sort of work the singer would be given. He could be assigned to pick up streets in Chinatown, Little Italy, Nolita or parts of the Lower East Side.

A Manhattan judge threatened the singer with jail time if he failed to complete his five days before August 28.
