| If there's anything worse than a nasty breakup, it's having to go to work after a nasty breakup ... then seeing your ex right there in the office ... then reading about it the next day in the papers.

| In a tell-all book, Boy George said he had a relationship with bandmate Jon Moss (clasping Boy George's hand here in 1983), but that drummed Moss who, ashamed of the gay romance, fled into the arms of women, including the one he married and had three kids with. (Moss denied a relationship with George.) George later said they could've still been together if he'd only kept quiet. They still, however, toured after their alleged relationship ended.
