Hiding Out In Africa

As we mentioned last week, following George Michael‘s latest arrest this month for drug possession, the singer and his longtime boyfriend were spotted leaving their home in London with six large suitcases.

His publicist had said Michael was in the south of France trying to get away.

He’s a liar.

And, although many were hoping Michael was heading to rehab, that’s not the case. Turns out the troubled musician is actually in South Africa.

The Times has discovered that Michael and his boytoy have been staying at the upscale, $1,500 a night Lion Sand private game resort in Mpumalanga for the past week.

The two have spent several days in the resort’s private chalet, with its own private pool. They’ve been enjoying private game drives as well.

Oh, and they were flown by helicopter to a nearby town, White River, to buy some sunglasses after Michael’s pair were damaged. And after the 15 minute helicopter ride, Michael and Goss spent the day shopping in town.

Local salesmen said that Michael spent a “sufficient amount of money” on three pairs of sunglasses and a pair of reading glasses for Kenny. In other words, they got ripped off.

He also spent hundreds of dollars at a local art gallery, River Glass, where the manager said all the items purchased were ├óΓé¼┼ôslightly African inspired.”

The pair were then taken back to the lodge, were security is tight and hotel guards asked locals not to mention his stay or take photos of him.

Even lodge rangers said they “couldn’t even get close to him. There were restrictions as to who can get close to him and who can’t.”

Just what every person needs after a drug bust, a nice vacation to celebrate getting off with no jail time.
