Björk Moving to Brooklyn Heights
We first caught wind of this rumor last week and have finally gotten enough confirmation that we feel comfortable posting it: Avant-garde pop star Bjork and artist husband Matthew Barney are in contract on a rather phat pad in Brooklyn Heights. In the name of privacy, that’s all we’re gonna say and ask that commenters…
We first caught wind of this rumor last week and have finally gotten enough confirmation that we feel comfortable posting it: Avant-garde pop star Bjork and artist husband Matthew Barney are in contract on a rather phat pad in Brooklyn Heights. In the name of privacy, that’s all we’re gonna say and ask that commenters refrain from posting the address if they know it. Stick to welcoming two more world-class artists to Brooklyn.
I’m late to this show… 11217, “Welcome to the Dollhouse” — really? Ugggh.
IJ- I missed Tom? damn! (Must have been downstairs with the Missus drinking tea and denying ice cream to the ladies 🙂
Now in that instance (the Brooke Shield’s mother incident) that’s the time to go apesh!t bucknutty. That was waaaaaaay over the line and deserves a sock full of nickels upside the head.
No one ever answered as to why she has a stick in her mouth in that pic.
I don’t get a thrill at all and I think paparazzi and fans don’t know where to stop. But music artists and movie stars crave attention because without it they aren’t stars, or have successful careers. Its a case of being careful what you wish for. Without publicity would Bjork be as successful? the news reporter may have been annoying but physically assaulting her (notice, she never touched Bjork, tried to stop her or even got all that close. She held out the mike)was a huge no no.
That said, I can surely understand stars socking a reporter or breaking a camera if they intrude on personal space, take their mothers out of nursing homes to interview them (happened to Brooke Shield’s mother), touch them or follow their kids.

bxgrl, that is why if I were famous I would live in a place like Brooklyn. A very famous sports star was once described as living where he did because “no one wanted anything out of him there.”
It doesn’t help that many stars intentionally build up their mystique by being aloof or having an outrageous presence everywhere they go. I guess that’s why they live in huge mansions with so many trappings – they can’t leave and act normal.
Supposedly football watching at Jimmy Kimmel’s house is like the in-thing to do for a Hollywood male star. Tom Cruise even showed up once.
Minard, I checked ACRIS, it’s true. Filings were made in her name at an address in BK Heights.
I never said what she did was OK. Of course it wasn’t. Just trying to make the point that any one of us could lose it if pushed too far. And, yeah, it was the same woman and her crew following her.
I don’t think most of us have an inkling what that’s like.
We get a little thrill out of seeing a successful well-known person “get what they asked for,” and don’t think about what it really means.
