On his first night in jail George Michael was reduced to tears by fellow inmates.
Embattled pop star GEORGE MICHAEL wept following his first night in jail - after fellow inmates reportedly taunted him with rowdy versions of his most famous hits.
The former Wham! singer was jailed for eight weeks on Tuesday (14Sep10) after he pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis and driving under the influence of drugs.
He was immediately transferred to London's tough Pentonville prison from court, and entered the imposing jail to a chorus of his hits Freedom and Faith, according to Britain's The Sun.
The publication reports that Michael is being kept on the Vulnerable Prisoners Unit - which houses serious sex offenders and paedophiles - for his own protection.
And the experience became so much for the singer, he was allegedly given pills to help him sleep.
A source tells the newspaper, "George was bombarded with mickey-taking (mocking) songs from the cons. He was crying as they sang, 'You've got to have faith' at him.
"When he went to use a payphone in the communal area he was hunched over it - distraught and in tears. He was whispering and very emotional."
The prison stint stems from his arrest in July (10) after he crashed into a shopfront near his home in Hampstead, north London. The star admitted he had smoked dope before climbing behind the wheel.
As well as the jail time, Michael was fined $1,875 (£1,250) with $150 (£100) in court costs, and banned from the roads for five years.

Did someone not prepare him for this?
HE WAS "REDUCED TO TEARS"
BECAUSE HE FORGOT TO SMEAR JELLY ON HIS MAN HOLE BEFORE GETTING HIS SHIT PUSHED IN!
NO LUBE, NO FUN
No need in crying; if you don't like jail then stop doing assinine things that can get you locked up!! Very simple.
^^^^^^^
That's right!
@ 5:37 I cringed at your post. Ugh.
Wow! He was so fine back in the day. He has never been the same since his mother's death. He really needs help.
Get ready to "taste the rainbow" Georgie boy. @Nubian Godess...Boy George used to be a boxer...he could whoop some people's asses if necessary...say what you want about Boy George..LOLOLOL. I did have the pleasure of meeting Boy George in London in 1987, coming out of Selfridges of London (where my Uncle-In Law Worked) and he was the most pleasant person.
I have remember going to London back in 1984, on a student exchange program. My friend and I got tickets to see the WHAM Finale with Elton John at Wembley Arena, from a friend whose sister was one of the back up singers for Wham (Pepsi Riley).
Later that week I went to Harrods to meet a friend who worked there. I went to employee entrance to meet her (you can catch a lot of exclusive celebrities back in the day coming in and out of that entrance), and I bumped into George Michael then....I was so star struck because I just seen up at Wembley. I asked him for an autograph and he was the rudest phucker/celebrity EVER!..."NO I AM NOT GIVING FUCKING DAMNED AUTOGRAPHS". I hollered F-You and your music too! Needless to say he shashsayed his ass into his chauffeured driven limo and did not look back, not that I cared. I just have hated the dude ever since.
I hated him since. I had met Grace Jones a few weeks before, and she was extremely gracious and kind and autographed my shoe box while in Harrods....but George's bitch ass I never expected, because back then although it was rumored he was Gay, he hadn't come out completely. "((TASTE THE RAINBOW GEORGE))"--ThatBKChick
I stand corrected, it was 1986, not 1984. That was when WHAM Disbanded with Andrew Ridgely at Wembley Arena that summer. SMDH....I was such the WHAMMY FAN back in the day.:: Adam Ant, Elton John and WHAM. I cannot believe I remember this crap--ThatBKChick
