London, Jan 19 : Fallen pop idol Boy George spent the first hours of his 15-month sentence writing notes in his cell.

The 47-year-old scribbled on a pad as he started his jail term in Pentonville Prison in North London.

George has already angered fellow inmates by lining up a soft job in the canteen.

He is set to earn 6 pounds a week as a server, dishing out meals to lags on A Wing.

"It won't go down well if he's seen to get special privileges. People have to wait weeks before they're given cushy jobs," the Sun quoted an inmate, as saying.

Melbourne, January 19 : Despite being outlawed in Australia, electronic cigarettes that use nicotine-flavoured vapour are still being sold on the website eBay for hundreds of dollars.

E-cigarettes were demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas last week, and they have been a major attraction for smokers ever since.

With the aid of battery-generated heat, these cigarettes create a flavoured vapour, which is puffed by the user in the same fashion as real smoke.

The devices, commonly from Chinese manufacturers, even have tips that glow when the user inhales, simulating the ember of a real cigarette.

Following the loss, Allen sunk into a deep depression - and turned to a psychiatric clinic, reports Contactmusic.
