It appears that pop iconoclast David Bowie is feeling the hunger once again.
After starring alongside Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon in the film version of "The Hunger" back in 1983, the musician has now agreed to host the upcoming, second season of the Showtime anthology series based on the horror film, according to "Variety." While there's no word yet on when Bowie would be needed to film his parts for the program's respective episodes, it apparently won't affect his plans for the release of his next album. During an exclusive chat last week held at the artist's own BowieNet website, Bowie vowed to have a new record out by the spring of 1999. In related news, Dar Williams will be heading into a studio in the next few weeks to record a cover of Bowie's "Starman," a song he originally recorded for his 1972 landmark album, "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars." The song was chosen by Williams' fans in an online voting contest held in conjunction with the November elections, and the singer-songwriter will make the song available via her DarWeb site sometime next month.
