We can finally answer the question! Yes, he really DID want to hurt you, he really DID want to make you cry.

Boy George, 46, has been convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort.

Audun Carlsen, 29, claimed the former Culture Club frontman handcuffed him and beat him with a metal chain during their…er…time together. While George protested it was because he suspected the man of tampering with his computer, the jury sided with Carlsen. The singer has been released on bail until his January 16th sentencing.

This verdict is the latest in a string of woes for the singer who has a long history of drug abuse, and in 2006, spent five days sweeping the streets of New York for court-ordered community service.

To quote “Karma Chameleon,” you’re my lover, not my rival. Come on, guys, can’t we all just get along?

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It
Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
