    Some weeks back we picked up a few entertainment sites recounting Hugh Jackman’s first meeting with Bowie on the set of The Prestige. The gist of the articles was that Sailor was a bit put off when Jackman revealed that he’d sold a ticket he had to one of Bowie’s concerts when he was 13.…

    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.

    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.…

    I wouldn’t have a taken a man like Richard Branson for someone who would try to gank an little extra fame by riding on Bowie’s coattails. It appears I was wrong. Last Sunday’s article in the Observer “reports” that Bowie and Iman are coughing up £230,000 for an orbital trip around the world. The reporter…

    If anyone has ever doubted Bowie’s genius, then doubt no more. Never in a million years did I dream that Bowie would participate in something as downright silly as Spongebob Squarepants. That’s right, the same man who wrote the line “Research has pierced all extremes of my sex” is voicing the character Lord Royal Highness…

    What is up with this Bowie-Paris Hilton connection that the press seems so keen to make?  Here is yet another one from TMZ.com.  For the love of all that is good and holy, can the popular media please stop putting Bowie’s name in the same articles as She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named?

Once a month, Bowie will make a contribution to the service through podcasts and features of his favorite new bands in an effort to bolster the portable music…

    David and Iman recently attended a showing of Madama Butterfly for the opening night of the New York Metropolitan Opera. Apparently the crowd was star-studded one with the likes of Sean Connery, Naomi Watts, and tabloid darling Jude Law. David enjoyed the show so much that he wrote his first journal entry on Bowienet in…

    Your Yank Webmistress and Webmaster are in envy of the British Bowie fans who were able to see Bowie on Extras. Bowienet and other sources have provided the link for online viewing of the episode through BBC2, but fans outside of the UK are unable to see it. So if anyone with sharper eyes than…
