David Bowie: The Stars (Are Out Tonight)

David Bowie released his new single, 'The Stars (Are Out Tonight)', from his upcoming album The Next Day. It follows in the footsteps of his first single 'Where Are We Now?', but the sound doesn't have much in common. 'Where Are We Now?' was a slower, droning song that could best be described as hypnotic. 'The Stars (Are Out Tonight)' is a much faster, louder rock song that is reminiscent of his music from Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane.

A music video was released as well, which features Bowie and Tilda Swinton as a happy married couple who get followed home by a celebrity couple which is plastered all over the front of the tabloids, interfering with Swinton & Bowie's life. The couple is made to look like Bowie when he was younger. Watch the new video below, and don't forget The Next Day will be out March 12th in the US.

Celebrity Meltdowns and Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen, Mel Gibson, Lindsay Lohan, Tiger Woods, Britney Spears. The list goes on for infamous celebrity meltdowns that seem to take control of headlines. My theory for the fascination with them is that people love to see other people's drama/issues because it makes us feel better about ourselves and seem more normal. And makes people laugh. I wonder who the next one will be once everyone gets bored with Charlie Sheen. Probably someone who needs the publicity for a career boost.

Speaking of Charlie Sheen, his Live tour called "Charlie Sheen LIVE: My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option," sold out in just a few minutes in Detroit and Chicago. He doesn't seem so crazy after all, people are eating it up. I'm not convinced he is crazy or on drugs, at least not all the time. He definitely knows what he's doing and how to milk this. He's also getting paid for certain things that are used as ads that he posts on his twitter in between the crazy/funny stuff.
