David Bowie: Good Genes or Good Docs?

David Bowie never goes out of fashion.



Here's a 26-year-old David Bowie back in 1973 (left) -- 36 years later, the 62-year-old version at a film festival in New York City (right).

He must have his own "Tin Machine."

Slick Willy Gets a Helping Hand

TMZ had a run-in with the Secret Service last night -- getting pushed away from the door of Pier Sixty for the exit of former President Bill Clinton. Rank does have its privileges.

The Prez got special attention at the Can-Do Awards, but Josh Hartnett, a slightly heavier and hotter Kate Bosworth and her model buddy Helena Christensen didn't get the same treatment -- having to fend off photogs as they left headed to their cars. Rock royalty David Bowie and stunning wife Iman, Julianne Moore, and Beastie Boy Mike D were spotted leaving the event as well.

A hooded Jay-Z fared better than Corinne Bailey Rae at Butter, getting ushered through the doors without waiting in line, while John Legend had no problem getting into Tenjune.

All this in more in today's presidential edition of Star Catcher.

Hollywood Urban Legends

Urban legends are stories with obscure origins, usually with little or no supporting evidence. Crazy circumstances associated with some of our favorite A-listers -- just happen to be true, while some are just myths. Find out which of Tinseltown's most outrageous legends are for real, and which are just a lot of baloney.

Manson Wonder Boy -- FALSE!

Although Marilyn Manson, formerly Brian Warner, reminds us of the kid that was tormented in school for his nerdy appearance, he didn't play one on TV. The actual actor was Josh Saviano. You might also remember Josh from his TV movie, "Camp Cucamonga." Or not. Either way, this legend is as made up as Manson.

Mick Jagger and David Bowie in the Sack!

Legend is that David Bowie's wife caught him in bed with Mick Jagger.

Jagger and Bowie Busted -- It's TRUE!

David and Mick were dancing in the sheets, or at least just passed out naked when Angela Bowie walked in on the two. Angela went on the Joan Rivers show to dish on her ex-marriage, just after a ten-year silence agreement had expired. She got cold feet at first when Joan and fellow guest Howard Stern starting digging for the goods.

Eventually, she spilled the beans. She later reneged on the issue of bisexual implications, saying that the two were asleep and just happened to be naked. She later claimed that she believed what everyone else assumed. So, according to David Bowie's ex-wife, this legend is no myth.

Bowie Never Out of Fashion

David Bowie and ImanRock icon David Bowie committed a minor fashion faux pas when he strode onto the scene at Glamour magazine's Women of the Year awards. No, he didn't wear anything that would garner TMZ "You Might Want to Rethink..." honors. Indeed, he looked quite debonair in a fancy Valentino suit. The slight problem for fashionistas is that Mr. Bowie left the tag on the sleeve for all to see. GQ style editor Adam Rapoport says visible labels are a no-no: "It's a definite fashion don't. It's not like the Lacoste crocodile or the Polo pony. You would never, ever walk out of a Valentino store with a label on the outside of your jacket." See kids, you learn something new every day. Somehow I don't think this little gaffe will put David on the un-fashionable list.

One thing never out of fashion is David's music. Bowie stays in touch with the changing musical times by scouring the young turks in the industry to bless them with his seal of approval. Bowie made our friends at Warner Brothers records quite happy when he picked the Secret Machines as one his favorite new bands. Bowie even interviewed the band for his BowieNet site (I got to interview them too!) and put them on his podcast saying he'd backed the band since their first record in 2004. Continuing his trendsetting ways, Bowie has also tapped TV on the Radio as a favorite up and coming act. Further cementing his credibility among the younger set, Bowie is proud of his portrait, recently rendered by My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way, for the NME 2006 Rock and Roll Yearbook. All this intermingling with rock's next generation is sure to help sales of Bowie classics that are being reissued in the coming months. By March of next year, nearly his entire catalog will be re-released, including must-haves like "The Man Who Saved The World" and "Tin Machine."

Bowie is also participating in "The Black Ball," a fundraiser for "Keep A Child Alive," which provides assistance for HIV and AIDS patients, focusing on infected children and their families in Africa and the developing world. The Black Ball is in New York City this Thursday night and is hosted by Alicia Keys and Bowie's wife, the ever fashionable Iman. The concert is $250 a ticket, but if you've got the big bucks, you can hobnob with the stars at the ball. $1,500 will get you a seat at a VIP table for dinner, pre-dinner cocktail party, premium seats at the concert where Bowie, Keys and others will perform, plus entry to the after-party. If you can afford it, it's for a good cause. But, if you go, be sure to check your duds for exposed labels -- you don't want to be scoffed at by the fashion police!
