    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…

    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?

    In a recent interview with Fashion Rocks Magazine, Elton John stated that he thinks the raggedy, tattooed style of young rockers is “ugly and unpleasant.” He feels that stage style, meant to entertain the audience, is being disregarded by young rockers in favor of “that tattoos and the T-shirts and the rings through the noses.”…

    2. Contaminated *ahem*, I mean Contamination arrived in the mail today – only about four months late. Despite the misappropriated title, the CD is actually worth the money.

    Silly bit of gossip for you all – while filming The Prestige, Hugh Jackman managed to offend Bowie.

    “[This will] probably be the last time I will be doing these songs.” “Fuck Off. I’m in Tin Machine.” “I’m fed up with the industry…I’m taking a year off.” In light of Bowie’s recent announcement that he will curate the New York Festival, we see right through that last statement much like we saw through…
