[Above: HOMG George Michael, he's so DREAMY!!]
Keep your short-shorts on girls, because there's plenty Georgie-porgie to go around now that he's gonna be going on his first North American tour in seventeen years. As announced, “He will open his 25 Live tour in San Diego on 17 June, winding up in Sunrise, Florida, on 3 August.”
Women across the country are going to be screaming, throwing themselves past bouncers and chanting “I want your Sex. I want your… oooh. I want your Sex. C-c-c-c-c-c-come on!”
Of course things haven't been all roses in the star camp for Michael, as allegations of drugs and… other things… have been hounding him for the past decade like a crazy jailbait groupie at an after-party. (He's also the only person on record to admit sympathy for Amy Winehouse.) But nothing's going to break this iron man's stride. 'Cause he's gotta have faith-a faith-a faith-a.
Faith-a faith-a faith-a.
Faith-a faith-a faith-a.
Bay-bee!
Let's look at the past year in George, courtesy of our good friends at the BBC:

But who cares. The upcoming gala-tour, which will surely be the HIStory of the 00s, coincides with the release of Twenty Five, a greatest-hits album.
You may ask, “Didn't I already buy my momma George Michael's Greatest Hits at Sam Goodys back in '98?” Well yes, you did. But Twenty Five is more than a greatest hits compilation. Being the fourth greatest hits compilation he's released, Twenty Five is the greatest-hits of the greatest-hits, picking only the greatest of the greatest hits from all his greatest hits records, and putting them on one greatest hits album that you can now buy in addition to all the others.
Not mentioned is the fact that Twenty Five has already been out for a year in the UK. Americans have to wait until April 1 to go to Sam Goodys and buy it for their mommas.
