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.

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.
Jester…ha! You slay me 🙂
No excuses. If no one paid attention or her work, wouldn’t she be complaining? No fame, no money, no attention…I don’t stars have to be hounded, and the paparazzi can be horrible. I think a star’s private life and home should be sacrosanct, like private citizens’. But if you want that lifestyle you have to know this is the price you pay when you’re out in public. Learn to deal with it.
Yeah, that clip was all over the place because it makes Bjork look like a madwoman.

She was fine with it – all her videos do the same.
All the other blogs are picking up on this Bjork thing and some are calling it merely a rumor.
“I’d like to see clips of the days leading up to that moment.”
Ok, so if I get hassled by one person at work today, I have carte blanche to attack a different co-worker tomorrow. Awesome! I have a feeling that if you were related to that reporter, you would be singing a different tune (and probably a better one than Bjork would be singing, at that).
Who knows how it really feels to have a loss of privacy like that. It’s possible that this particular reporter was a special pain in Bjork’s behind (the clip said something about the reporter bothering her for days). But, I just can’t condone going all apesh!t bucknutty like that. Especially in front of your child. What would she have done if the reporter hauled off and gave her a right hook knocking her on her @ss? Busted that nice face of hers? Maybe the final lesson here is that no one should welcome her to BH. It could end in a trip to LICH.
She commented on that airport outburst at the time (which was a decade ago, right?). Reports at the time was that the reporter had repeatedly hounded her and her kid with a tv crew recording it all. But Bjork sent her flowers and a written apology afterwards anyway.
Surprised people haven’t heard of her. Not my cup of tea but she’s famous enuf.
My daughter was fortunate enuf to sing with her at a recording session she did in Riverside Church.
Personally I’ve just gotten used to the Paparazzi taking my picture everywhere I go. The price of fame that I’ve learned to live with.
