Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Boy George brands Madonna 'full of herself'

Caption: Boy George brands Madonna 'full of herself’. Writing in his memoir, Karma: My Autobiography, Boy George has recalled several meetings with the Queen of Pop. Talking about the first time they met in the 1980s, he recalled, "Madonna arrived with Sean Penn and pretended she didn't see me.” "She 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 Culture Club star, 62, confessed that he doesn't think Madge has much of a sense of humour. ”I have a sense of humour, I don't think Madonna does, despite some of the clothes she wears (LOL)," he noted. While he admitted he thinks her brand is "genius", he added that he wishes she would act more normally sometimes. ”But outside of that, you know, it's how you act," he said at the launch of this book. ”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.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
