RUPERT EVERETT'S SECRET DATE WITH DAVID BOWIE

RUPERT EVERETT'S SECRET DATE WITH DAVID BOWIE

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Gay hunk Rupert Everett is unloading a glam rock skeleton from his closet: he once dated David Bowie. The 40-year-old actor tells the upcoming "US" magazine that when he was 16, he went out on several platonic dinner dates with rock god David Bowie. Everett says even though he was an unknown kid at the time, Bowie liked to hang out with him because Everett actually listened to the rocker prattle on with his bizarre math theories -- such as the one about how "3" is the most perfect number. Bowie and Everett even went to the movies together to see the post-apocalyptic Charlton Heston stinker "The Omega Man." Bowie isn't the only rock star Everett was hanging around with in those days: he claims he was also palsy-walsy with fellow gay icon Boy George.
