...Park in Santa Monica, CA, after an undercover officer on a crime suppression detail allegedly saw him engaging in a lewd act, Lt. Edward Kreins said. "I can't go into details of the lewd act," said Kreins, who noted that the singer was alone at the time. The British-born Michael gave police his real name, Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou, and then supplied his stage name when asked if he used any other names, Kreins said. The arresting officer did not recognize the pop star, who identified himself as a singer when asked his occupation at the station, Kreins said...
...summer of 1995, sources have told TIME, Willey was in the midst of a brief relationship with a British-born soccer coach whom she made the target of a bizarre ruse almost straight out of an Aaron Spelling production. In an interview with the FBI, Willey's former confidant Julie Steele has claimed that the onetime socialite told her lover, Shaun Docking, she was pregnant with his twins--even though Willey had told Steele she was not pregnant. Willey's motive? She wanted to get back at him for Fourth of July plans gone awry, Steele told...
...British-born producer-performer Goldie helped bring some rhythm back into rock. His brilliant 1995 album, Timeless, was instrumental in founding the genre of drum 'n' bass--pulsating, mostly danceable music driven by clubland bass grooves and propulsive percussion.

Goldie wasn't the only influence, of course, but the sea change has been profound: if you listen to Yield, the grandfatherly...
...Friday, Jan 25, 1996, at 11 p.m., Clive Stafford-Smith, a British-born defense attorney living in New Orleans, was awakened by a phone call. It was a lawyer named Willard Hill, whose teenage client, Shareef Cousin, had just been convicted of murder by a jury. Hill, a local defense lawyer, hadn't expected to lose, and now he needed help to keep Cousin off death row. Could Stafford-Smith help him organize an "emergency" case for the penalty hearing? Stafford-Smith yawned and signed...
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla: Spare a thought for Michael Foale. The British-born NASA Astronaut spent four-and-a-half months on Mir during the station's most critical moments; now he can't even get home. Poor weather, gusty wind and intense cloud-cover over Florida frustrated the Shuttle Atlantis' attempts to return Foale to Earth Sunday. NASA instructed the seven-member shuttle crew to stay aloft an extra day and try to land at Kennedy Space Center in Florida late Monday. It wasn't the only hitch in space traffic: back on Mir, a cargo ship docking was delayed...
