BoratFunnyman Sacha Baron Cohen has hit out at persistent allegations his character interviews are set-up, insisting his subjects are convinced he’s for real.

Pop star George Michael has pleaded guilty to driving while unfit due to drugs on the first day of his London trial.

The former Wham! singer was arrested after he was found slumped at the wheel of his car in the British capital last year.

The 43-year-old admitted guilt at Brent Magistrates’ Court today, blaming “tiredness and prescribed drugs” for the offence.

His sentence has yet to be decided.

Veteran American comedienne Joan Rivers is to perform a special one-night show at London’s popular gay club G-A-Y, on May 19.

The acid-tongued pensioner will be supported by high-energy pop duo Erasure, who have a new album to promote.

According to organisers, it will be “a night not to be missed.”

In recent years, Rivers has made a name for herself by covering Hollywood red carpet events as well as promoting her line of jewellery on QVC.
