Boy George reignites his feud with Madonna by branding her 'too full of herself' as he reflects on several frosty encounters with the superstar
Boy George has insisted that Madonna is 'too full of herself'.
The Culture Club legend, 62, - who insisted 'every gay man loves Madonna and there's no one gayer than me' - has reflected on several less than positive meetings with the Queen of Pop over the years.
He insisted her unfavourable memories of the first time they crossed paths couldn't have happened like she recalled.
Writing in his memoir Karma: My Autobiography, he said while Madonna remembers him 'head to toe in Westwood', he was exclusively wearing Sue Clowes at the time.
Reflecting on a later meeting in New York City, George continued: 'Madonna arrived with Sean Penn and pretended she didn't see me.

The Karma Chameleon hitmaker insisted he is still a fan of her work, while he isn't so certain she shares his 'sense of humour'
'Madonna is everything it says on the tin but she adds new ingredients every day. I know for a fact she's too full of herself to even mention me.
'She once said, 'Boy George was mean to me in the eighties and he's still mean.' To be fair, I haven't really been given the opportunity.'
The Karma Chameleon hitmaker insisted he is still a fan of her work, while he isn't so certain she shares his 'sense of humour'.
He said: 'Not knowing anything about her I would assume she'd have issue with the word 'some'...
'I have a sense of humour, I don't think Madonna does, despite some of the clothes she wears (LOL).'
George admitted he loves 'all the drama' and 'pop star behaviour', hailing her brand as 'genius'.
However, he wrote: 'But outside of that, you know, it's how you act. You know, because you want, as I say in the book, you want your artists to be weirdly beautiful and strange and all that, but you also want them to be kind of ordinary.'
Despite their apparent feud over the years, George thinks they could become pals one day.

He said: 'Like Bette and Joan, we should have been friends. There's still time.'
Boy George has previously admitted he is 'embarrassed' by his feud with Madonna.
Appearing on The Jonathan Ross Show in 2021 the singer was reminded he once referred to the Like A Virgin hitmaker as 'vile', prompting George to respond: 'I'm actually a bit embarrassed I said that.'
The British pop icon told host Jonathan: 'I treat Boy George from the 80s as a sort of cartoon character'.
On the show, comments previously made by George about other celebrities were read aloud, including a remark about Madonna.
George reportedly once referred to Madonna as a 'vile, hideous human being with no redeeming qualities'.
Reflecting on his words, George said: 'It's not something I would say now… it's really just, I'm actually a bit embarrassed I said that.'
He added: 'Madonna… she fascinates me. I love Madonna. Come on, how can you not? Of course I do. She's my contemporary. I've actually just sold some paintings of Madonna that I did.'

The musician then concluded: 'I've not had the good sense to do that [work with her]. Could happen though. I wasn't joking. Imagine me and Madonna on a record, it would be amazing come on.'
Both stars ruled the charts throughout the 1980s, and George has previously said Madonna 'hates' him.
Looking back on the decade, the Everything I Own singer told Jonathan: 'That person is someone I created. I treat Boy George from the 80s as a sort of cartoon character.'
He continued: 'I'm not that person. I do a lot of paintings of Boy George as I think of him as an invention… He's a different person.'
