    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. Nothing will be official until January 23, 2007 when the nominations are announced by the Academy, so for now this is…

    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…

    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.

    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…

The money made from the auction will go to benefit the charity’s effort to clear unexploded…
