    A blurb in today’s Jamaica Observer noted that David shacked up in a private villa on the island recently. No word if he, Iman and Lexi were there for a Caribbean Christmas, but if I had the money to burn, I’d take my White Christmas in the form of sun-bleached beaches, too.

    An online acquaintance asked an interesting question today – what Bowie song would I like to see Peter Murphy cover? The first song that popped into my head was “We Prick You.” This is a creepy song from a dark and imposing album (not to mention my all-time favorite album). Peter’s “cavernous baritone” would be…

    Iman is an interesting gal to say the least. If you don’t know too much about her, this article by Emine Saner in yesterday’s Evening Standard sheds some strong bands of light on her overall personality and her daily life with Lexi and David. It’s the most revealing article about David or Iman I’ve read…

    Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers Tour has been boosted by the presence of Gail Ann Dorsey. It’s great to see a talented bassist like Gail Ann getting more widespread recognition. Gail Ann is also bringing Zach Alford along for the ride. See the article here.

    There has been a lot of buzz in the entertainment world about Bowie’s new film role. He is slated to play the scientist Nikola Tesla in the upcoming film “The Prestige.” The movie will also star Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine, and Christian Bale (a favorite of your Webmistress).

    Both the Berlinners have TV commercials running these days which you’ve probably already seen, but need mention at least for posterity’s sake. Both ads see them contributing their glittery star power to all-star casts. Bowie’s for XM Radio features Snoop Dogg hunting down his missing neck bling, and Iggy’s for the Motorola ROKR iTunes Phone…

    This is an essay/rant from the original CrackedActor that Michael and I ran in my college days. I have edited it slightly, but the original message is there. Anyone ever noticed that there are two Bowie songs that read very much like a fairy tale? The two songs that I am referring to are Glass…

    Iggy made the news today because his speakers apparently go to eleven. When he played the Blue Balls Festival in Lucerne, Switzerland, back in July the volume reached 102.5 decibels, a mere 2.5 over the festival limit. Check out the article on Launch UK. Andrea and I saw Iggy in South Florida some years ago,…

    Andrea and I have launched this David Bowie fansite to share our common interest in the Duke with the rest of the web. Some years ago I found her profile on TeenageWildlife.com and sent her an IM. We hit it off fairly well, dated for about three years, and then married our CD collections together…
