Like Robinson Caruso It's As Primitive As Can Be

David Bowie has undergone an emergency heart operation for an acutely blocked artery. The angioplasy procedure was performed on Bowie in a German hospital. Bowie cancelled the 11 remaining dates on his European tour last month due to a pinched nerve. After some examination, doctors found the blocked artery. According to his spokesperson, "Bowie, who was able to leave the clinic early this week, is now at home in New York convalescing with his wife and daughter and hopes to start work next month."

Bowie on his cancelled tour: "I'm so pissed off because the last 10 months of this tour have been so fantastic. Can't wait to be fully recovered and get back to work again. I tell you what, though, I won't be writing a song about this one."

Seriously, we are never surprised when we hear about a new reality TV show. UPN tackles Amish life called Amish in the City. This show will be a reality TV series about Amish teenagers exploring the world beyond their community and faith. The series will offer a "unique look at the Amish journey of discovery" in which young adults leave their spiritually devout, rural communities to sample urban life. According to UPN, the series will chronicle the experiences of five young Amish men and women living in a Hollywood Hills home with six other roommates. The special two-hour episode airs July 28 on UPN.

While we are on the subject of reality television shows, Katrina Campins of NBC's The Apprentice and her fiance were involved in a dispute with a tow-truck operator in Miami after they discovered their car had been towed. Campins said the driver, Donald Seay, "brutally attacked" her and fiance Ben Moss, during an argument Sunday at Seay Towing in North Miami Beach. Seay towed the couple's car from a supermarket parking lot near the Trump Towers in Sunny Isles Beach, where the couple plans to marry Aug. 14. After everyone were sufficiently bitch slapped, Campins said she plans to file suit against the towing company.
