Yesterday, we discussed the possibility that Angelina Jolie and her “hypnotic” vadge played mind-games on Mick Jagger. The story originates in a new biography of Mick Jagger, although I don’t know if this biography is any way “authorized” – considering the dirt, probably not. The book is called MICK: The Wild Life and Mad Genius of Jagger, and in the excerpts yesterday, sources claimed Jagger was infatuated with Angelina in 1997, and he was always trying to call her and he was prepared to leave Jerry Hall for her. This apparently went on for years. Anyway, the NYDN has even more excerpts from the book, and these excerpts are all about Mick’s emotional and sexual affair with… David Bowie. For real? You can read the full NYDN story here. Here are some more highlights:
In 1973, Mick Jagger was still coy about his own sexual preferences, but Bowie made no effort to conceal the fact that both he and his wife were bisexual and often shared partners. “Mick looked at David and wondered if maybe this was the wave of the future,” said Leee Black Childers, former executive vice president of MainMan, the management firm that handled Bowie. “Mick was very conscious of doing whatever it takes to stay hot; David was the hottest thing around at the time.”
“It was the glitter era, and everybody wanted to be part of the bisexual revolution,” explained singer Chuckie Starr, who ran into Mick at a party in Beverly Hills the week that “Angie” hit number one. “Mick was no different. He was wearing rhinestones, blue eye shadow, and platform shoes.”
Angie Bowie also looked askance at the blossoming relationship between Mick and David, but for very different reasons. She thought her husband had nothing to gain from cozying up to Jagger, and that such a friendship might even cost him credibility with his hip, young fan base.
Bowie, who called Jagger Mike — never Mick — thought differently. Not only was he in awe of Mick’s ability to electrify audiences year after year, but he respected the veteran rocker’s songwriting talent and business savvy. “He thought Mick was a financial genius,” Angie said. “We all did.”
Bowie and Jagger were soon spotted everywhere together without their wives: sitting ringside at the Muhammad Ali-Ken Norton bout, hanging out at the London disco Tramp, yelling and stomping their approval at a Diana Ross concert, or just cuddling up together on a hotel room coach. Neither superstar complained when one enterprising photographer snapped the two men in a moment of repose, Bowie tenderly cradling Mick’s head in his lap. Bowie also took Mick to gay films. “David,” said British TV producer Kevin Kahn, “is a born proselytizer.”
By October 1973, the Bowies were living on Oakley Street, just a stroll from Cheyne Walk. Angie had been out of town for a few days when she returned home one morning and went straight to the kitchen to make some tea. The Bowies’ maid, who had arrived about an hour earlier, approached the lady of the house with a peculiar look on her face. “Someone,” she told Angie, “is in your bed.”
Angie went upstairs to her bedroom, slowly pushed the door open, and there they were: Mick Jagger and David Bowie, naked in bed together, sleeping. Both men woke up with a start. “Oh, hello,” said Bowie, clearly taken by surprise. “How are you?”“I’m fine,” Angie replied. “Do you want some coffee?”
Mick, blinking awake, remained silent. Angie returned a few minutes later with coffee and orange juice on a tray. While it was not a case of coitus interrupts, Angie “felt absolutely dead certain that they’d been screwing. It was so obvious, in fact, that I never even considered the possibility that they hadn’t been screwing.”
Angie was upset at the time, unsure if David was serious about Mick — and, if he was, how she could ever compete with him. “Even though I cared,” she said, “there wasn’t much I was going to do about it . . . Maybe,” she tried to joke later, “they were writing ‘Angie’ when I caught them in bed together.”
The excerpt goes on and on – Angie Bowie wanted to fool around with Mick but she “missed her chance” because she was having a giggle fit. Marianne Faithfull, Mick’s ex-girlfriend, had an affair with David Bowie for a few months in 1973. One of the various sources claimed, however, that “Mick and David were really sexually obsessed with each other. Even though I was in bed with them many times, I ended up just watching them have sex.” Oh, and both Bowie and Jagger had affairs with Bebe Buell (Liv Tyler’s Mom) who also boned “Elvis Costello, Rod Stewart, Jimmy Page, Aerosmith’s Steve Tyler, Todd Rundgren, and Prince.” Once Bowie and Jagger realized they were both sleeping with her, they tried to lure her into orgies. For the love of God. IT WAS THE SEVENTIES. This is what everyone did in the ‘70s. Let’s face it. If your parents were in their 20s in the 1970s, they were probably doing all of this. Trust me.
Update by Celebitchy: Here’s Mick and David doing “Dancing in The Street” circa 1985. I used to love this video! I’m getting a kick out of watching it again and imagining them sleeping together.

I remember acutely the first time I heard about it:
It was on the Joan Rivers show, and Angie was talking about how she walked in on them in bed one day.
I was too young and should not have been watching that show. First, because Joan kept calling every woman b-tch. And that was before Paris and Nicole, so it was still a big no-no.
Second, I did not understand what was wrong with two men being in the same bed. I obviously did not think about sex at that age yet. But thought dude looked like a lady – David Bowie – and often wondered about his gender.
The 70s confused me for a long time with their hetero-flexibility. A long time.

It has been out there for awhile, but the story was somewhat muddied by the fact that Angie Bowie recanted what she said some years later, stating she had embellished events to help sell her story. I don’t think many people fully bought into her revisionism, but it threw just enough doubt onto the original story that no one could say with any degree of certainty (until now) as to just what had really happened.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
She recanted? I missed that part. I’m 43 so I was around 20 when the Angie Bowie book came out. I think I had already heard the story before that sometime in my teens.
I grew up in LA and there was a groupie grapevine of sorts and the older sisters told the younger sisters for a few generations.
I knew about Jimmy Page and his whips by the time I was 12 but I was a huge Led Zeppelin fan since I was a kid so I may have tuned out Stones gossip. Not Bowie though. I loved him since I was about 13. No not China Girl – Ziggy. I was a little late to the party.

Really the vid and the single were a rush job because they both could not appear together at Bob Geldof’s Feed The World concert and there had been rumours for years about a collaboration. David treated it as a bit of fun and that’s all it was.
Angie Bowie made a lot of sensational claims about David in that book. David did not confirm or deny any of them. Their marriage was a joke, they only ever really got married because Angie was due to be deported back to the USA in a few weeks.So David married her because they were good friends with benefits. At the time David did not believe he would ever fall in love again after Hermione. Everyone knew it, even Angie did, but she later claimed that she married for love. The woman was a leech and still is. She called herself Angie Bowie for years after the divorce and considers herself some kind of social commentator now.

The Bowie rumors and the story of Angie finding them in bed together are well known.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Angela Bowie is full of it. She also said Mick named the song “Angie” after her as a conciliatory gesture, which is a complete crock. I’ve read her book and she’s got serious delusions of grandeur.
When she divorced David Bowie, one of the provisions of their settlement was a gag order on her for 10 years preventing her from yapping to the press. The minute it was over she wrote a “tell all” book that was basically a big “look at me” whine complaining how people see her as nothing more than a hanger on and slightly elevated groupie. She made the claim about Bowie sleeping with Jagger, and when Bowie’s lawyers contacted her, mysteriously changed her story to “I just found them in bed together”, and then complained when all Howard Stern and Joan Rivers cared about was learning whether the rumour was true. As if they’d want to talk to her for any other reason. When pressed about “just finding them in bed together”, she never was able to give any more details asides from how she reacted.
Obv Bowie was bi in the seventies- everyone and their mom was. In his case it was a publicity stunt to exoticise his image, and he’s gone on the record joking how he’s a “closet heterosexual”. I just think anything Angela Bowie claims should be immediately discredited.

Outside of the Sunset Strip, there was no more prevalence of bisexuality in the 70s than there is now. I somewhat remember the 70s and the rumors that Governor Brown was bisexual and while I had no clue what that meant I could tell based on the conversation at the grownups table that it was a bad and abnormal thing to be as per the average orange and pea green kitchened 70s American family. So no….
Also there was an article in Rolling Stone recently where they more or less said Bowie was doing me in the 60s. Bowie is bi. He seemed to have moved along the scale from gay-leaning bi to straight-leaning bi but he is bi. OR he was desperate to make it and willing to put out… he was so drugged out in the 70s that Mick may have been the only one who was emotionally involved.
Angie Bowie is certifiable, I know this. They took away her son and gave him to DAVID BOWIE WHO SAW NAZIS IN THE CLOSET HE WAS SO HIGH ON COKE (or something like that) but that doesn’t make her wrong. It just makes her a horribly unfit mother.
Bowie got his act together and the son seems to have turned out normal based on his Twitter account. Maybe Bowie thought part of getting his act together was to fake straight – this makes sense in the 70s.

Velvet Goldmine was indeed about Bowie and Pop. . . though for all of her 2nd-hand famewhoring, Angie Bowie claims David and Iggy never did the deed.
I find it hard to believe her, however. Between the *romantic* West German chateau they shared for months during Serious Moonlight and Lust for Life, and the massive amounts of cocaine they ingested daily, I find it very hard to believe they kept their hands to themselves. . .

This is old news. As old as the Mars candy bar rumors. David is perhaps bisexual. In his interview with Rolling Stones (the magazine), he claimed that he is bisexual only to retract later on. There was a 10 year gag order for Angie to talk about his life with Bowie and when it finally expired she dished that “Mick and David in bed” story to a talk show. Later, Angie backtracked and said she literally just saw the two in bed and didn’t catch them in the act.
Edit: Nope, Bowie didn’t retract his bisexuality. It was his management who did that.

His music stayed relevant up until his electronica-ish “Earthling” album in the late nineties, when he was doing songs with Trent Reznor, getting people like Floria Sigismondi to direct his music videos, and even reportedly showing up at raves and partying with kids. He’s definitely had more of a talent for staying hip and reinventing himself than Jagger and any of those other old farts.

Still I think there are a fair number who aren’t lying when they say they are not gay, they’re bi-sexual. Hollywood would tend to attract people who don’t easily fit a catagory and as much as it still seems to freak people out sexuality is far from rigid for many.

Why the horror? Two of the most famous, beautiful, androgynous, sexually provocative and talented men of the 60′s and 70′s F**k each other? wow! It’s the shrill ignorant judgemental idiocy of some commentators here who probably think anyone born before 1984 never had sex is why I want to scream.
