The real Bowie in Vegas?
Via Robin Leach, a rumor is going around that David Bowie might become a permanent Vegas headliner. Like Richard Abowitz writes, (hey, I love Lodger and Scary Monsters, too!), Bowie staying in Vegas is unlikely because he probably couldn't consistently fill a large venue. Despite the former glam, he's slightly too fringe for a regular Vegas gig. Plus, would he and Iman really want to leave New York City, where Bowie is frequently spotted watching up-and-coming bands at hip clubs?
Still, it'd be rather funny if both David Bowie and Zowie Bowie -- who I recently learned are not David Bowie's son Duncan Jones -- were performing regularly in Vegas. I bet you'd have quite a few confused tourists.
Update: The rumor has already been dispelled.
Zowie Bowie
Ever since the Red Rock Casino opened last year, they've been heavily advertising Zowie Bowie's weekly performance there. I had always assumed that this Zowie Bowie was the child of David Bowie, AKA Duncan Jones, but never really looked into it.
After reading this article today, I realized that I was very wrong. The Red Rock Zowie Bowie is not the son of David Bowie. No, the Vegas Zowie Bowie is a flashy man/woman duo.
How odd. I wonder what Duncan Jones thinks of it.

Interview with director Darren Aronofsky about his upcoming film The Fountain. This isn't brand new, but I just read it today. My favorite part: David Bowie may compose a third Major Tom song (after "Space Oddity" and "Ashes to Ashes") with Clint Mansell for the soundtrack. (via kottke)
