Singer Boy George will report for community service Aug. 14 - cleaning New York's dirtiest streets under the steamy summer sun, the Daily News has learned.
The androgynous British pop icon was sentenced to garbage cleanup duty after he pleaded guilty in March to falsely reporting a break-in at his Little Italy loft last fall.The crooner - who asked "Do you really want to make me cry?" in his 1982 hit "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" - will be issued a shovel, broom, plastic bags and gloves when he reports to the Sanitation Department's District 3 headquarters for five days of street cleaning, department spokesman Vito Turso said.
Culture Club fans interested in a Boy George sighting might consider heading to Chinatown - one of the most likely assignments for the singer, whose real name is George O'Dowd.
"A lot of tourist traffic means a lot of street litter," Turso said.
"This is the epitome of community service. It's not like he's going to be working in an air-conditioned office."
