Who the Hell Is Trying to Take Photos of Bjork?

I guess in other countries, people still care about Bjork, as she attacked a newspaper photographer shortly after she arrived at New Zealand’s Auckland International Airport on Sunday.

“I took a couple of pictures … and as I turned and walked away she came up behind me, grabbed the back of my black skivvy (T-shirt) and tore it,” said the photog. “As she did this, she fell over, she fell to the ground,” he said. “At no stage did I touch her or speak with her.”

Is Bjork a bigger deal overseas? I can’t remember anyone in the US caring about her for years. Overseas readers, weigh in!

  • I’ll go see bjork at the Big Day Out (reason she’s in NZ) if there is nothing better to do at the time cuz she’s weird and amusing, but i don’t care for pictures of her. It’s not like photographers here are particularly fierce, she’s probably just insane.

  • Um..her music is incredible..not enough? Ah, of course…it isnt pop. How could I forget the magical relationship we have with our mainstream media…

  • She’s not all that popular here (in NZ), her music doesn’t get played on the radio at all.
    I’ve been a fan of hers in the past, I’m not sure why the paparazzi were taking photos of her though. I’m not sure anyone in this country really cares..

  • she probably has more talent in her asshole than you idiots have collectively. all 4 million of you.

    ^_~

  • oh, and have you heard the kind of asinine shit they play on the radio? top 40? after about three minutes i feel like exploding with rage. but hey, if that’s your thing, sure.

  • Firstly, in no way did I say she had no talent, don’t get your panties in a bunch.
    Secondly, I say the radio because it usually indicates what music is popular at a particular moment in time, doy. It’s an easy way to tell what people in one country are attracted to as a whole.

  • “Who the Hell Is Trying to Take Photos of Bjork?”

    New Zealanders.

    Also, this must be how she dresses every day, even on what was probably a long, boring flight. That’s awesome.

  • Anonymous, this is a GOSSIP BLOG. Do you know what GOSSIP is? PLEASE ALLOW ME TO EDUCATE YOU: gossip is collective chatter, juicy tidbits, and shallow superficial observations of MAINSTREAM POP CULTURE. It’s intended audience is us 4 million talentless assholes who both admire and resent celebrities and it’s a way for us to know that even though they are ritcher than we will ever be they can still have more pathetic lives than us (Britney Spears) So if our tasteless conversation offends you my only question is: Why the fuck are you even here? GET LOST WE DON’T WANT YOU KIND HERE!!!

    Anyway Bjork is fucking ugly and if you dress like a God damn rodeo clown on crack SOMEONE is going to take your picture weather you’re famous or not.

  • Bjork is not pop or mainstream rock so the radio doesn’t play her. Her music is too weird for an average person driving on the road. Only alternative or psychedelic music listeners knows her and likes her. Radiohead listeners might like her. American radios, even many alternative music stations doesn’t play her either. That’s why she’s not popular and Kelly Clarkson is popular. But she’s one hell of a talented artist.

  • Bjork is not pop or mainstream rock so the radio doesn’t play her. Her music is too weird for the normal public. Only alternative or avant-garde music listeners will like her. Her themes/genre are similar to Radiohead. That’s why she’s not popular but Rihanna is popular. Also it depends on the country’s pop culture. In Singapore, alternative music is not too well known among the general public but the UK is famous for avant-garde tunes (Radiohead/Pink Floyd).

  • Cocaine? This girl is so pure. Get a grip.
    I had a 15 plus yr relationship with it and she is not a druggie.

    YOur a weirdo.

    And jealous.
    It’s a shame to search an artist u love and find all these blog sites and forums with u idiots on them

  • I heard that the reporter had been annoying her for a few days. And Bjork is gorgeous. Whoever thinks Bjork is ugly probably thinks some ugly hillbilly like Britney Spears is pretty. Ew. Britney Spears is ugly and fat and talentless and makes me want to puke. I don’t know how anyone could like her. But I love Bjork. She’s got more talent than… Anyone that will EVER go on this shitty website.

  • Why make fun of her? She is clearly making more money in one year than you or I will make in a lifetime. She is weird, hard to explain, and sometimes just plain out there, but what normal boring person makes it out there in the strange world of the celebrities? She is not boring or trying to be something she is not, that makes her different. Go ahead and criticize it, it does not matter anyway.

  • Bjork is beautiful and talented. Get a life. Or listen to “America is not the World” by Morrisey.

  • That woman sure has more than one screw loose.
    I could say a lot about Bjork and photographies. But it mostly would reveal what a pervert I am… in a “horny teenage boy” way, mind you. Not like that nutjob stalker she once had.
    I also bet that, if she hadn’t become an artist, she’d wither away in some mental asylum, probably costing taxpayer money. Of course then you’d be whining bout that, right?

  • It’s easier to be indifferent than to hate. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions,but in the end opinions amount to nothing. It’s your heart that is important and will live on forever….isn’t that what Bjork often sings about?

  • Funny you should say she has a screw loose, it seems to me that you have a screw loose. I would like for you to explain to me exactly why you think she is crazy. If its because of the way she choses to dress, that is such a ridiculous statement. If you look at mainstream fashion there are some flashy eccentric outfits, but if its on a model and costs 30,000 dollars its not crazy. Bjork has a mind of her own, and does what she loves. She is not a puppet who simply lives and repeats patterns. Her music is her passion and like it or not she lived her dream, which most people will never do. Also I rather look at pictures of talented people than people who are considered attractive for 6 months and did absolutely nothing to contribute to society. I don’t keep up with mainstream media because it is mind numbing and I like to stay educated, but I happened to be looking for a picture of Bjork, when I came across this conversation. Bjork in my opinion is one of the most beautiful people (my opinion) and her music has gotten me through some tough time. The fact that she wears what she wants is amazing, her confidence comes from herself, I can guarantee most of the women the paparazzi try to get photos of have very little actual self-confidence. Anyways I really wish people sat down and asked why more often, “like why do I wear what I wear?” because it is probably because the advertising companies told you to. We have so many freedoms in America and we all abuse them and walk around like mindless monkeys, “monkey see monkey do”
    I know i went off on a rant but I enjoyed it!

    BJORK IS FUCKING AMAZING

  • Beauty is in the we of the beholder. I find Björk to be very beautiful! As well as her accent. I’d like to point out bjork would not be in the insane asylum guys… She’s eccentric not mental. Check out a few interviews she is actually very smart. She probably has better English than any of you whose native tongue is English.
