The only thing that I think is lacking from this news report is "David Bowie is God".

Scarlett's album could be quite interesting and I'll definitely give it a listen. She's not your typical movie star and sports the rock chick look off screen. She's recently had her septum pierced as well, so expect an edgier look for her music career.

This could be interesting. Not a fan of the actor/musician crossover, but stranger things have happened!
