The film about David Bowie, who died aged 69 in 2016, is expected to shed light on the music legend’s raunchy private life during his swift rise to fame in the 1970s

Hollywood bosses are embroiled in a bidding war over a biopic of David Bowie, it is reported.

The film is likely to lift the lid on the music legend’s private life during his rise to fame in the 1970s, a period during which Bowie had several top ten hits in the UK. Movie studios have expressed interest in taking up the option to turn the autobiography of Suzi Ronson, wife of Bowie’s right-hand man Mick Ronson, into a film, and so it has been auctioned for a deal.

The stylist helped create the singer’s famous Ziggy Stardust look, Bowie’s stage persona during 1972 and 1973. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars became Bowie’s second most popular album in terms of record sales.

“The book has now been auctioned to be made into a major motion picture. It hasn’t been bought but we are hoping it will be soon and it will be a great movie about the Ziggy Stardust days and his rise to fame,” Suzi said.

Her book, Me And Mr Jones: My Life With David Bowie And The Spiders From Mars, was published last year. In it, the hairdresser refers to one-night stand with Bowie which happened while he was still married to his first wife Angie.

Speaking to The Sun, Suzi added: “The bedroom at his home was pink with a gold ceiling. Everybody thought he was so gay. I was curious about him. I think Angie set me up… David called me and said: ‘Why don’t you come over and do my hair?’ So I went up to London, had a great meal and he kind of seduced me.”

No further details about the big-budget film have been disclosed, and are unlikely to be until a contract is secured amid the Hollywood auction. It will therefore be released at least ten years after Bowie’s death, following an 18-month journey with cancer. The music superstar was 69 when he passed away in New York City on January 10, 2016.

Bowie’s own secret last project was discovered locked in his study by archivists – and it was a musical about the 18th century. Called The Spectator, its entire existence was unknown to even his closest friends but now the notes have now been donated to the V&A Museum, with the rest of Bowie’s archive.

Amid his ongoing feud with parents David and Victoria, Brooklyn Beckham is planning to open up a “Beck’s Buns” burger joint in the US – and it should open early next year

Brooklyn Beckham is set to a new burger business with the support of wife Nicola Peltz and her billionaire family, it is reported.

The chef’s company reportedly owns the trademark for “Beck’s Buns” and, having quietly revealed the branding for the burger bar last month, it is said he is now pushing to open the business within the next six months.

This is despite criticism in August for cooking videos shared online, including one in which Brooklyn, 26, served up a spaghetti carbonara for Nicola. Celebrity chef Aldo Zilli said Brooklyn “burned the bacon” in the Italian classic, also typically made with pasta, eggs, cheese and other ingredients.

But resilient Brooklyn has remained defiant and it is understood he is being backed in the new venture by Nicola’s family, including her billionaire businessman father Nelson. A source said: “It’s been something Brooklyn has always wanted to do. He has the full support of Nicola and her family, including her businessman dad Nelson, and is excited about the future.”g

Brooklyn tinkered with the application of his trademark after a row with the beer brand Beck’s. It is now understood he has overcome this challenge and his dream is becoming closer to reality.

The insider told The Sun: “He has created Beck’s Buns and quietly launched it on social media last month. Brooklyn’s company Buster Hot Sauce Inc owns the trademark and he is planning to open a restaurant.

“The issue with the trademark is all-but resolved now after Brooklyn made it clear that he wasn’t making booze but wanted it for a restaurant. The menu is still being decided but it’ll be high quality burgers with his signature Buster hot sauces.”

Katie Price, also known as Jordan, has been open with the media that her youngest children, Jett, 12, and Bunny, 11, haven’t lived with her for some years after her row with their dad, Kieran Hayler

Katie Price is “thrilled” to set to finally reunite with her youngest children, it is said.

Jordan has not been living with Jett, 12, and 11-year-old Bunny for several years following her fallout with their dad, Kieran Hayler, to whom she was married for eight years. After these children went to live with their father, a fitness trainer, Katie’s older kids have also moved out to pursue lives as young adults.

It reportedly left the 47-year-old star “down in the dumps,” but now Jett and Bunny are returning to live with their mum full-time in November, it is understood. Jordan’s recent house move is believed to be part of her plan so that the children can be nearer to their father and their friends.

A source close to Katie said: “They went to Kieran after he and Katie fell out. It was all a bit of a tricky time for the whole family, but now Katie is going to have them back with her again and she couldn’t be happier.”

But sources say Katie, the media personality, is “thrilled” at the reunion with Jett and Bunny. Speaking to Mail Online, the insider continued: “Her recent move is just perfect timing for when they go back to her in November. Katie moved quite a way from Kieran when she left her Mucky Mansion, but now she’s back nearer to where Bunny and Jett live so it has all worked out really well for her.”

In August 2022, the two youngest children had gone to live with Kieran, 38, and Katie had limited access to them after she breached her restraining order against his fiancée, Michelle Penticost.

Katie avoided a prison sentence despite sending abusive messages to the woman. The former glamour model instead was handed an 18-month community order at Lewes Crown Court, which ordered her to carry out 170 hours of unpaid work.
