BOY GEORGE has hit out at stars such as Chappell Roan, who refuse to have selfies with fans.

The Culture Club singer, whose Netflix documentary about the band will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York next month, said: “I see a lot of famous people online behaving awkwardly.

“I was watching this thing the other day with Chappell saying she won’t have photos with fans.

“I went through periods like that but now I never, ever say no to a photograph unless I am on the toilet.

“I say, ‘What is the point of doing this unless you absolutely love it?’ I don’t mind if people come and say hi to me.

“But I am lucky because I have this Batman thing, I can put on a hat with a sweatshirt and get on the bus. Madonna and Elton John can’t do that.”

Speaking on the Saturday Series podcast in US, George also opened up about the new Culture Club film and said it sheds light on his decision to not take part in the Live Aid concerts.

“The new documentary goes on about Live Aid and it makes it sound like it was the only thing that ever happened.

“Some acts seem so destroyed that they did not do Live Aid.

“I had no idea why they were obsessed.

“I knew it was the worst idea for me to appear on Live Aid.

“I did them a favour as I knew I was not well. I did not have any regrets not doing it.”

BEY’S GOT GOOD JEANS

BEYONCE is keeping her stylist busy on the Cowboy Carter Tour by showing off another personally designed look.

She strutted her stuff in a denim leotard and chaps at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey at the weekend, where she has been wowing the crowds.

The Texas Hold ’Em singer will play her last show there tomorrow before bringing the tour to ­London’s Tottenham Hotspur ­Stadium for six nights from next Thursday.

She is regularly joined on stage by her daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi, and they are expected to continue that over in Blighty.

Hopefully they’ll all leave as Spurs fans, just like me.

TOP GUN READY TO FLY AGAIN

 Maverick.A third instalment of Tom Cruise’s Top Gun is in the works

FANS had to wait 36 years for a Top Gun sequel, but a third film is poised to take flight sooner than expected.

Filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie, who has worked on every Tom Cruise film since 2015’s Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, and was one of the writers of Top Gun: Maverick has revealed plans for the next instalment, teasing: “It’s in the bag.”

On the Happy Sad ­Confused podcast, he said: “I already know what it is. I thought it would be harder, and that’s a good place to go from as you walk into the room going, ‘Come on, what are we going to do?’”

The 2022 flick Top Gun: Maverick made $1.5billion at the box office, so I can see why they’re keen to get another one on screens.

CHRISTINE McGUINNESS is adding another string to her bow and has launched a podcast with her pal, best-selling author Sophie Gravia.

The pair have called the venture Situationships, and promise to spill all on “life, love and best pal boundaries” in the new series for BBC Sounds.

Christine said: “I am so excited to be hosting this podcast with Sophie.

“It’ll be real, raw and, most importantly, judgment-free. We’ll be chatting all things love, relationships, and everything in between.”

Sophie added: “Just like a girls’ night in, no topic is off limits, and we will be diving headfirst into the comedy, chaos and sometimes downright cringe of dating.

“I cannot wait to chat through our own outrageous stories and the listeners’ dating dilemmas.”

The series launches on June 19 on BBC Sounds.

I can’t wait to tune in.
