NICK CAVE’S PERSONAL TRAGEDY

Can’t remember the last time we saw goth-rocker Nick Cave with his wife, designer Susie Bick, and his son Earl,19, so it was nice to see them at the LACMA Art & Film Gala. We didn’t realize that the family survived an awful tragedy four years ago. Earl’s twin brother Arthur was only fifteen when he experimented with LSD, became disoriented, fell off a cliff and died not far from the family home in the UK. Susie was so distraught she nearly gave up her fashion business, but she says it was her work that eventually helped her heal. Nick says the experience changed him and his music forever.

BRAD PITT’S HAIR WAS ONCE AN OBJECT OF DESIRE

Brad Pitt can rest easy, knowing that one of his first important movies has been resurrected for Netflix. Tom DeCillo, the director of 1991’s Johnny Suede was appalled to learn that 50’s guitarist Link Wray’s music had been cut from the Netflix version of the movie in which Brad plays a clueless southern boy with a huge pompadour who aspires to be a rockabilly star. It’s a strange and aimless film – perhaps inspired by David Lynch and Jim Jarmusch, but ultimately entertaining. Anyway, the director got the music back in the movie and re-edited it to perfection for your – and Brangelina’s – Netflix enjoyment. (Above Nick Cave and Brad Pitt)
