GEORGE MICHAEL FINED FOR
'LEWD ACT'
GEORGE MICHAEL has pleaded no contest today to
committing a lewd act in a park restroom. Michael did not
appear in court - instead his lawyer entered the plea on his
behalf. The judge issued a fine of $810 and ordered Michael
to perform 80 hours of community service. The singer was
arrested April 7 when an undercover cop allegedly saw him
commit a lewd act alone in a public washroom in Beverly
Hills.

MARIAH'S 'NO DIVA'
MARIAH CAREY says she's no diva - after the "New York
Post" quoted sources close to the World Music Awards that
she was less than gracious in Monte Carlo. Sources say
Carey showed up late to the show, which delayed the taping
by an hour, then kept PRINCE ALBERT waiting at a gala
dinner. Carey admits she was late and sent apologies to the
prince.

George Michael pleads "No
Contest"

George Michael's arraignment took place
today in Beverly Hills Municipal Court.
Michaels attorney, Ira Reiner, entered a
plea of "no contest" to the charge of
committing a lewd act in a public park.

courtroom.

Judge Charles Rubin sentenced Michael's to 80 hours of
community service, a fine of $810 and banned him from the Will

the singer to get counseling.

Michael had been charged with a misdemeanor count of lewd
conduct which carries a maximum fine of $1,000. His
"no-contest" plea is an admission of guilt but can not be used as
evidence in a civil trial.

Michael had been arrested on April 7 and posted a $500 bond to
get released from jail that night. He told CNN in an interview that
in fact he was gay and "I won't even say that it is the first time it
happened."
