Oh Boy! George Lashes Out

Gay singer Boy George has branded Little Britain star Matt Lucas a "prissy, niggly diva."

The former Culture Club star also called Elton John a humourless dame.

The singer made his comments about his fellow celebrities during an interview with the Radio Times.

He said: "Elton John is like our headmaster, the grand old dame of pop, with a beautiful voice but living in an ornate bubble, full of fresh flowers, surrounded by people who nod and laugh at everything he says, and he doesn't have a sense of humour."

Of award-winning comic Lucas, with whom he worked on the cast of his musical Taboo, Boy George said: "He (Matt) wouldn't talk about his sexuality, although he's now made the queerest show in Britain."

'Prissy': Matt Lucas

Boy George, who works as a club DJ and lives in New York, is becoming notorious for his outbursts.

He recently blasted Elton John for duetting with rapper Eminem, who has been widely criticised for his homophobic lyrics.

And last week, the singer accused Madonna of being a hypocrite for using the gay community to boost her career.

He said the Kabbalah religion, to which she has converted, was opposed to homosexuality.

He had a further dig at gay star George Michael in the Radio Times, saying when he started out the Wham! singer was "so desperate to be famous, he feared that if fans discovered he was `a true Greek' it would all end in tears".
