    The Daily Mail reports that Bowie is on the radar of the Academy of Motion Pictures for a possible Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actor for his role as Nikola Tesla in The Prestige.

    Today Bowie turns 60 years old, but is no where close to being “over the hill.”  However there will be no wild parties that recreate the bacchanalia of the mid-70s.  Bowie told interviewers that he plans on having a quiet night with his family around the dinner table set with a home-cooked meal of shepherd’s…

    Sort of. According to the Belfast Telegram, Bowie will be playing to a large outdoor crowd to commemorate his birthday later this year. I assume that the reporter is referring to the High Line Festival, which still has the nebulous dates of May 10-19, 2007. I’m not sure exactly how a gig 5 months after…

    In an interview with Hello Magazine (relayed via Digital Spy), Iman commented that there is a possibility that she and David will move back to London in a few years.  She says that although David loves New York City that he gets homesick for his hometown London.  Hopefully a move to London will not mean…

    Nearly 5 decades after Bowie uttered that statement, he has achieved that status and continuously held on to it.  Lynsey Hanley at The Observer wrote an outstanding article about Bowie’s rise to “pop idol” status and how he influenced her at a young age.  It is a fitting birthday tribute to the man who has…

    James Brown passed away this morning at 1:45 am. It is a truly sad day for the music world. Rest in peace, Godfather. Your influence will be felt for generations.

    My love of celebrity gossip blogs continues to be justified. Gawker.com recently featured a bit by Alan Baird reminiscing about his days working as a page with with Saturday Night Live back when it was actually funny and the sound system didn’t suck. He recounts a hilarious story of him and Bowie dragging the life-sized…

    I’m sure it will come as no surprise when I tell you all that one of my favorite Christmas songs is “Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy.”  However, this morning I found out for the first time that it almost didn’t happen due to musical differences.  And I thought I knew the Bowie biography like the…
