Yahoo News David Bowie's ex-wife Angie hits out at "waste of time" new biopic Stardust
Angie Bowie has hit out at the new David Bowie biopic Stardust.
The film stars Johnny Flynn as the 'Starman' singer in 1971 as he heads to the US for a tour. Unfortunately, he has a visa issue which means he can't perform, and he instead goes on a road trip with his American publicist Ron Oberman.
Speaking to The Mirror, David's ex-wife Angie slammed the film, calling it "a total waste of time".
"It should be called the Ron Oberman Whingeing and Whining story," she said, claiming that "David would never have watched it".
The former Celebrity Big Brother star, who was married to David from 1970 to 1980, also spoke about the fact the film doesn't contain any of his music after not being able to secure any of the rights from the late singer's estate.

"The only people who would watch it are people who are obsessed with celebrities," she said. "Bowie was a musician. And where was the music?
"It was boring. I didn’t find it entertaining at all. It’s more dreary than a one-star documentary. It was too neutral and bland and without the music, there is nothing."
Angie also claimed that the film had a lot of inaccuracies, including a row with her when David returned to London.
"That’s not how it was at all. Our marriage wasn’t at breaking point then. That came much later. I wasn’t worried about anything, I was in an extremely good mood. I was having a fabulous time in London. I wasn’t on call 24 hours a day.
"The character who plays me says that I wanted David and I to be king and queen but that’s not true.
"I wanted David’s career to be incredible and then I wanted to pursue my directing and acting dreams. I didn’t want to be a queen."
Stardust is out now.
