London
(ANI):
Singer
George
Michael
has
caused
quite
a
stir
at
the
prison
in
Pentonville
where
he
is
jailed,
with
prison
heavies
demanding
he
pay
them
10,000
pounds
a
week
to
protect
him
in
the
showers.
Michael,
47,
has
been
warned
he
is
a
prime
target
for
a
beating,
or
worse,
and
prison
gangs
have
told
him
he
may
already
have
had
his
Last
Christmas.
Cheers
greeted
him
when
he
arrived
at
the
1,250-capacity
north
London
prison
after
being
jailed
for
eight
weeks
for
crashing
his
car
while
high
on
cannabis.
And
while
some
taunted
him
with
choruses
of
his
massive
hit
Freedom,
others
shouted:
“Where"s
George
Michael?
Bring
George
Michael!"
Jail
bosses
want
him
moved
to
an
open
prison
as
soon
as
possible,
as
they
fear
inmates
are
already
queuing
up
to
snap
the
first
photo
of
him
behind
bars,
and
if
he
is
pictured
he
could
sue
the
prison
for
a
breach
of
his
human
rights.
“All
celebrity
prisoners
are
'problems" because
they
attract
more
attention.
But
we
have
a
duty
to
protect
all
inmates,"
the
Daily
Star
quoted
a
top
level
Ministry
of
Justice
insider
as
saying.
