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.
