After his recent tirade against Madonna for her crimes against the gay community, Boy George has branded the icon 'cold' and 'ruthless.'

Breakingnews.ie quote the Culture Club singer as saying: "If Madonna were a drag queen, she would be called Ruth Less.

"I don't think the word 'warm' comes to mind with Madonna. Ice is the word that springs to mind."

George hit out at the Material Girl in his autobiography Straight, criticising her involvement in the Kabbalah religion which chastises homosexuals and views the sexual orientation as a curable disease.

He complained: "After making all those millions of dollars out of gay people, pretending to kiss girls, pretending to be a lesbian! I think she's cynical."
