One More Thing
Here's a great David Bowie gallery, accompanied by 1980's "Teenage Wildlife"—which is his best song ever. Period.

The Crowd Turns Against Lindsay Lohan At BAM
On Saturday night and deep into Sunday morning, the Brooklyn Academy of Music was filled with bedraggled, bedreadlocked and bewitched Brooklynites, drunk on bohemia and Bud Lite. They were there to pay homage to perhaps the greatest actress of our day: Lindsay Lohan, a woman who not only embodies that particular craft but is the freckled and flawed mascot of our time. Laurel Ptak and I were there too.

Is David Bowie Taking Over Manhattan?
If you've been hearing a lot of David Bowie lately (and not just because your roommate is a big Aladdin Sane fan) you might have noticed his polished - presidential even - tone. He's shown himself to be a masterful organizer: his High line Festival, which kicked off yesterday, is THE festival of the year. He's proven himself an adept diplomat, talking his way out of a feud with a gruff Bobby DeNiro and negotiating through the tangle of neighborhood activists eager to protect the High Line. And now his populist streak is on full display. As the Observer reports, Bowie is opening up a burlesque house at former mafia hangout Little Charlie's Clam House. Like any good leader, Bowie first wooed the cultural aristocracy with screenings of underexposed Latin American films and is now making his appeal to the masses through a liberal display of tits and fishnets. Has the moment finally arrived? Is Bowie making his move? Is it time, that is, to turn and face the strange? More »

media mole rodeo
The Media Mole Rodeo is fast reaching the final rounds, but we still want your precious, precious anecdotes. Send your worm's-eye NYC media stories to mole@gawker.com for a chance at free beverages — with alcohol! — to be enjoyed in the company of bitter Gawker types and the relentlessly upbeat Paula Froelich of Page Six. This morning's missive is another look at the NBC page program, specifically at Saturday Night Live. Prepare yourself for a very imbalanced ratio of minor-key interesting reminiscence versus goopy nostalgia and coming-of-age treacle. You be the judge if the nip slip cancels out the Tangerine Dream, but at least there's drugs.

Soho House NY
Speaking of exclusive dinner clubs, London's Soho House—where Jude Law's baby tried ecstacy for the first time (a heartwarming moment for all)—is opening a New York branch. We're guessing that the slated location will be somewhere around... 29-35 9th Avenue. David Bowie was reportedly in charge of last week's committee meeting to iron out the details and begin the process of deciding who is and is not worthy of membership. We're looking forward to it. What with junior mobsters and Eurotrash infiltrating Lotus and Bungalow 8, there are so few places left in Manhattan where one can feel truly superior to one's peers.Soho House NY
