Jagger and Bowie Busted -- It's TRUE!

Posted Dec 17th 2006 7:05AM by TMZ Staff

David and Mick were dancing in the sheets, or at least just passed out naked when Angela Bowie walked in on the two. Angela went on the Joan Rivers show to dish on her ex-marriage, just after a ten-year silence agreement had expired. She got cold feet at first when Joan and fellow guest Howard Stern starting digging for the goods.

Eventually, she spilled the beans. She later reneged on the issue of bisexual implications, saying that the two were asleep and just happened to be naked. She later claimed that she believed what everyone else assumed. So, according to David Bowie's ex-wife, this legend is no myth.

46. The tin man was originally buddy ebson till he had an allergic reaction to the silver makeup, so he was replaced. Miick and bowie, no surprise. People keep saying Richard Gere is gay, but i dont beleive that, that is said of many male celebrities and never proven.

49. I remember the gerbil incident from the 80's here in Philadelphia. But, we heard it was Jerry Pennicoli and some weather man from one of the local tv stations. It is supposed to be some sexual thrill beyond belief, but I don't buy it. And, yes I heard about the two gay singers being caught in bed naked. I believe it is so true.

50. LOL the Richard Gere Story has been floating around since l was in grade school, which was in the 70s. It truly is the urban legend that will never go away.

52. Not only is the rodent story not true about Richard Gere, it has not been found to me true about anybody, anywhere at any time. It is a story that floats around and attaches itself to various people in various places. I first heard it when it was going around in Oklahoma City, and the alleged offender was a local furniture store owner who did a lot of commercials. In Seattle, I believe it was a car dealer. I know it was afoot in Pennsylvania, at one point, but I am not sure who was accused there. The fact that one of the posters here says they believe it because they believe Richard Gere to be gay tells us quite a bit about that posters bigotry. Would an alleged act of beastiality be any more likely true about a homosexual? In this person's mind, it must be.

53. These days, the silliest myths can be treated like gospel truth on the Internet. Of course, the Internet can also dispell myths. But as I have written so often, they used to commit insane people to asylums. Today they're on the Internet.

54. Perhaps someone should have looked for the xray from Richard's trip to Cedar Sinai Hospital's Emergency Room.....but with the privacy act you know the Hospital can't show it to just anyone! I know it's there!

55. Re: 3. You stated that Buddy Ebsen was the Tim man or was in the Wizzard of Oz. My understanding the Tin Man was played by Jack Haley.
Jack Haley was Buddy Ebsen's replacement. The silver makeup that Buddy Epsen wore was powdered aluminum. He inhaled the aluminum powder and, basically, it poisoned him.

He was in the hospital when Jack Haley was offered, and took, the job. They put the aluminum powder into a creme "pancake" base and the Tinman character was SAVED! YAY!

Now, everyone, who was the first person offered (and who turned down) the part of Dorothy?

Answer: Shirley Temple

56. To the person who asked: Buddy Epstein originally was set to play the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz, but he was deathly allergic to the makeup he had to wear and had to bow out of the picture. That's when the other guy took the part...

57. I don't care what they say- something or someone was hangingin the background, they don't want people to know, and ruin the movies reputation!! I don't buy it being a bird.

58. Only a fool takes a rumor and states it as fact. At least check sources. That Richard Gere/Gerbil thing is insane. Even gay people find that one hard to believe for the simple fact that anyone who puts a gerbil up their ass is f@#king insane. That is a nightmare not a fantasy...get a dildo.
