Gay singer Boy George is reportedly livid with George Michael for selling records pretending to be a heterosexual.

"People saw me as the benchmark queer while George was passing himself off as a straight stud," the New York Post quoted Boy George as saying.

"It's one thing to keep quiet. It's another to pretend you're someone you're not."

The effeminate star also seethed about Madonna, whom he termed a hypocrite for joining the Jewish mysticism Kabbalah. She's a "living, breathing cash register," he said.
