Unlike Madonna and Britney, David Bowie didn’t postpone or cancel his concert, he ended it prematurely. During a performance in Prague yesterday, Bowie was stricken with a painful pinched nerve in his shoulder, so he took a 10-minute break from the grueling stagework. (The Thin White Duke is 57, after all, and nerve discomfort in the shoulder is just the beginning.) He returned to perform two songs, while seated. Then, after an apology, it was exit stage right. No word on whether the nerve was his last one, after being hit in the eye with a lollipop last week in Oslo.
Meanwhile, Britney is losing $900,000 every week she doesn’t tour with Onyx Hotel. It’s predicted she could end up $9 million in the hole.
Now, this item from today’s “Page Six” I have to repeat here in its entirety because it’s one of those Bijou Phillips items involving famous sons and daughters of the famous intermingling and swapping partners that just confound me. See if you can make sense of it. It might be important.
June 24, 2004 — A BROKEN heart may be behind Bijou Phillips‘ drunken rampage that resulted in her and pal Nicky Hilton being banned from L.A. restaurant Il Sole last weekend. We’re told that Hollywood hellcat Bijou is heartsick her former flame Max LeRoy is getting married to Courtney Wagner. Bijou’s four-year relationship with Sean Lennon ended after Lennon’s best friend LeRoy admitted that he and Bijou were having an affair — which provoked Lennon to admit he had dallied with Wagner, among others. “Bijou has been flipping out,” says a pal. “She’s been calling and e-mailing everybody saying, ‘My life is over,’ and ‘Courtney is such a ‘ho! She dates everyone I date!’ She’s really upset.”
New York’s Daily News keeps Colin Farrell’s forbidden area alive with fresh info. Seems the actor’s penis, which a studio spokesman said was not responsible for certain scenes being cut from A Home at the End of the World, was too cumbersome to cooperate on the set of Alexander.
Insiders on the set of Farrell’s next movie, in which he plays Alexander the Great, claimed Farrell didn’t fit into the skimpy underwear made for him by costume designers – and so wore nothing beneath his tunic. (Word is he treated the crew to glimpses of what the rest of us will now be missing.)
Meanwhile, is the famously cut cock cut?
Here comes the judge. Thesmokinggun reports that an Oklahoma judge kept his untethered genitalia shaved and oiled under his robes and masturbated during court proceedings, including murder trials. Hot.
Donald D. Thompson, 57, was caught in the act by a clerk, trial witnesses, and his longtime court reporter. Visitors to Thompson’s Creek County courtroom reported hearing a “swooshing” sound coming from the bench, a noise the court reporter said “sounded like a blood pressure cuff being pumped up.”
