    The votes are in for the BBC Two’s Living Icons list. And. Bowie. Did. Not. Win! In fact, he was beat out in the top three by Sir David Attenborough, Paul McCartney, and Morrissey. Before this list came out, I only thought the world was mad. But then I saw that Morrissey beat Bowie out…

    If the New York Post is to be taken at it’s word, Las Vegas club owner Ivan Kane was planning to open a burlesque club in partnership with Bowie and Sting until the tentative landlord pulled out of the deal. I would insert a witty comment here but my brain has short-circuited at the thought…

    My friends on the Torched board are too good to me. More fun with the Venture Brothers and the Thin White Duke. An animated, shape-shifting Bowie clocking an animated Iggy before stealing his shape…I may have to get a TiVo season pass for this show. (Thanks Jose!)

    With all the hubbub about the Give Landmines The Boot auction, a tidbit about another auction got lost.  Peter Gabriel recently auctioned off an autographed keyboard to benefit his charity Witness.  The winning bid was $100,000.  Bowie, along with 43 other artists, signed a white key on the keyboard.  Witness is the charity that Gabriel…

    While your Webmistress has been on vacation and indisposed due to a head cold, respectively, her friends have kept their sharp eyes peeled for obscure Bowie references on the web. The first one was brought to my attention by Saudade. Composer and actor Ryuichi Sakamoto, known to some of you as Captain Yonoi from Merry…

    Bowie has joined with artists such as Ringo Starr, Johnny Mar, Pamela Anderson, Dame Judi Dench, and Lily Allen to auction off an autographed pair of his shoes to benefit the Mines Advisory Group‘s Give Landmines The Boot event. The money made from the auction will go to benefit the charity’s effort to clear unexploded…

    My last post about The Prestige reminded me that I have not yet posted the trailer for Arthur and the Invisibles. How could I have been so neglectful?! For you who have not yet seen it, here it is courtesy of Yahoo.

    The Prestige opens tonight! Guess where your Webmistress and Webmaster will be later tonight. That’s right…we’ll be delightfully viewing Bowie larger-than-life on the silver screen. Reviews and comments from the media will posted as I receive them, along with my own humble review.

    A brief update on the bit we did in May about Hugh Jackman recounting to Bowie how he sold his tickets to the show that Bowie did in Australia in 1981. The Orlando CBS affiliate Local 6 has added some more to the story. They quoted Jackman as saying, “Bowie went, ‘Oh yeah, I see.…
