I'm not talking about Angie milking it - I have no doubt that she feels incredibly sad. I know she couldn't stand him but it is a big part' of her life that has come to an end. She will have memories -she will have regrets - she will be thinking of her own mortality.
I just think the 'timing' of the Angie booking was no accident. BB have no shame in their quest for controversy. I do totally agree with your first paragraph. |

She was given the news off camera........she clearly gave her permission to broadcast her reaction.
Her comment, 'Stardust is gone', was somewhat strange given what she's said about the guy in recent days. She was only married to him for 10 years (30 years ago), their split was acrimonious & never ever improved over the years, with both equally poisonous about each other! |

I don't buy the conspiracy theory. If a close friend like Brian Eno wasn't aware how close the end was it is unlikely BB or Angie did.
Apparently people in the industry knew he was terminally ill - it was common knowledge he was releasing an album. No one knew he;'d die in the middle of BB but there was always a chance. They hedged their bets - it kind of paid off. |

The thing is though, those ten years, although thirty years ago, were a hugely defining part of her life. I truly can relate to how she could be feeling.

It brings you nose to nose with your own mortality. It provokes thoughts of what might have been and what will now never be again. It can unleash nostalgic thoughts or open old wounds. The range of ifs, buts and ands are almost too numberous to contemplate. There is so much potentially going on in the head of someone when someone in their circle passes. |

Wonder how much higher the ratings will go from folks tuning in to watch the sorry spectacle.

From what I've read only close friends and family knew he even had cancer, I wasn't aware the whole industry knew.
We have heard absolutely NOTHING of Angie Bowie for years - I thought it was a really random choice of HM - is it just more than mere coincidence? |

What is more whne a former partner dies, much like the death of a parent it touches all sorts of nerves that have nothing to do with how much you cared for that person or not.

Paul Gambaccini (and someone else who I can't remember) said it was known within the industry. I think something like that is hard to keep totally private.

I have no real thoughts on this either way. Neither Channel 5 nor Mrs Bowie can probably believe their luck publicity wise. |

And big brother isn't ALREADY a sorry spectacle? I think BB fans who are moaning are hypocritical. Plus she would have given her permission. End of thread.

Yep.
It really is no coincidence that Angie Bowie (who no one has spoken or heard about for years) has somehow randomly turned up on our tellies at the same time her ex husband dies. BB know exactly what they're doing. |

More like Angle knows once David had passed away she would have no claim to fame. So went on the show before, knowing he was ill. Really don't think anyone tried to time it to coincide with his death. Although I totally disagree with them making a promo of her hearing the news.

BB obviously asked her and I've no doubt she jumped at the chance. I don't think you can invite yourself onto BB. |

I think she probably did, no not saying that should of stopped her going on, but since he is her main claim to fame I think she went in knowing he wouldn't be around for alot longer. Not judging her or anyone else, just disagreeing with those saying that her or big brother tried to time it to coincide with David's death.
I doubt she went on with the desire to feed off his death/illness. Perhaps she went on because she wanted to be known for herself.. |
