A little blurb from Johan Renck about filming David Bowie's "BlackStar" and "Lazarus" videos:

The video was directed by Johan Renck, who also did the video for the title track to Bowie’s new album, “Blackstar.” Like with a lot of Bowie’s work, both videos’ meaning is left to the viewer’s interpretation. Renck did, however, acknowledge the impact the two collaborations have had on him. “I have no desire to do anymore videos knowing the process never ever gets as formidable and fulfilling as this was,” he said in a statement. “I’ve basically touched the sun.”

I've been thinking about David Bowie all day, too.  All everyone has written covers so many of my thoughts as well.

I know yesterday threw many of us for a loop with the passing of David Bowie.  Looking through many of the news reports yesterday I discovered something.  I think many of us were aware of David's son Duncan Jones directing Alex's new movie Mute, I didn't realize that Duncan is also involved in another movie of interest here at The Dome, he's also wrote and directed Warcraft starring Travis Fimmel.

A little joy at the end of an undeniably difficult week

Not sure where to post this so I guess I put it here I don't trust the source as I'm not familiar with them but her eis what I found who knows if it is true or not

I thought Alex was in Sweden for the holidays?

If gives you any perspective, Joel 'got married' to Cleo last year so she could get a green card in the USA. That was from the Swedish gossip press. Ignoring of course she's a cover model and internationally famous tattoo artist in her own right.

Alicia and Fassey 'split up'. too.

I'll believe it when I hear it from the guys.

[christine73]

Hahaha yes I think I saw that a few days back Celtic. I agree, I wouldn't put much faith in them being nearly ready for marriage. My guess some gossip rag looking for some hits.  And yes Alex was in Sweden around the holidays but England is a hop skip and a jump from Sweden, so it's plausible he could have been both in Sweden and England around the holiday season.

I know i figured it was a slow day so it was something to talk about lol

[ohva]

I appreciate the conversation! And, they were together right after Christmas, so who knows.

I think we'd all be rich if we had a nickel for every tabloid report, and every showbiz gossip report that we all hear at the salon or at work. I heard a whopper when I was just with my hairdresser just now.

[davischristinem]

Alex was in Sweden for the holidays.  He could have been there, too I suppose.  That same 'news' showed up right after they left Belize.  I've read it now in 3 different places (same basic report) with added embellishments each time I saw it.  Those papers will write anything.

I figure he'll let the world know when he becomes engaged.

[ohva]

And you know how gossip goes. Someone hears 'Skarsgard' and/or 'wedding', and gets 1+1=3 in what they think they know.

[christine73]

Hahaha Alex has been in his relationship long enough now, the gossip rags are getting bored and want to spice things up. I imagine we are at that point there will be a lot of interesting gossip and speculation. I always find it amazing how many times a person can be engaged, married, not married, broken up, involved with someone else lol.
