Boy George is going to the slammer...

Bad Boy George can't put on an orange vest and pick up garbage along the highway to get himself out of this one.

The British pop star and former lead singer of Culture Club has had his scrapes with the law connected to his drug problems but this takes the cake:He was sentenced to 15 months in jail on Friday after being convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort by handcuffing him to a wall in a London apartment.

Speaking to British Judge David Radford on Friday, O'Dowd's lawyer, Adrian Waterman, said: "This defendant is a kind and generous man who is particularly mindful of others' needs. He is the antithesis of the haughty bullying star. He was not himself when addled by the habitual and relatively long-lasting using of illegal drugs."

The lawyer added that his client and the escort had both behaved like "drug-crazed idiots" and that George's substance abuse problems were a contributing factor.

No kidding.
