Boy George may think he has it bad sweeping the streets of Chinatown as punishment for falsely reporting a robbery and cocaine possession, but he’s shuffling in the footsteps of some of America’s favorite celebrities. Many have had it even worse. Stars who can list toilet scrubbing on their résumé include Al Pacino (for $4 a week), Jamie Kennedy (he once wiped out Janeane Garofalo’s bowl) and Stanley Tucci (who emptied outhouses at a summer camp). Those who made it through are happy to admit how far they’ve come. # "I had to clean houses it was gross," Madonna once confessed. "I had to clean the toilet bowls of boys I went to school with. No, there’s nothing more degrading than being someone’s housekeeper. I mean, God bless my housekeeper and … well … all my housekeepers!" # "I used to have to clean bathrooms in a Mexican restaurant," admits Sean (Diddy) Combs. "It was a job. But I was the best bathroom cleaner there ever was." # "The worst job I ever had was cleaning lavatories at IBM in London," says Hugh Grant. # "I was an usher at the Capitol Theatre in Sydney," Nicole Kidman once revealed. "One time the latrines broke and I had to clean it all up. It was not fun at all. I was on hands and knees cleaning everything up. It was disgusting."

If I am correct Boy George opposed the street cleaning because he used to clean hotel rooms before Culture Club.
