Pop Weekly Issue One

Forgot the part where somebody might actually want to read it... doh!
So much innuendo and rumour has abounded as to the secret identity of Viggo Mortensen?s artistic and life muse, that the art community has been abuzz for weeks when it was discovered that he would finally ?out? her on the public stage this month. Trust me when I say one does not often see the arts community so out of the loop when it comes to one of their own. The coffee shops of Antwerp (where his latest gallery show is being staged) have borne a remarkable similarity to the inside of a gossipy high school locker-room.
Viggo has successfully kept under wraps his passionate, three year love affair with the unknown Canadian-born woman. Conoisseurs of Viggo?s work have noted the profound and complex influence this relationship has had on every facet of his artistic expression. It has been quoted by Robert Hughes that ?his work was sliding into the viscous mediocrity you would expect of a hollywood talent until suddenly in early 2005. One suspects that he had a shockingly profound life event or he found a Muse.?
Nonetheless, even his photographic potraits, in which she prominently features, divulge little. The first public photos of her accompanying Viggo to an Arts guild dinner at the Sorbonne this week revealed only what his body of work since 2005 has told us: this woman utterly captivates and inspires him.
As a great fan of Viggo?s talent in all it?s forms, I say to that: ?ain?t love grand.

great job with the photo and great LO too
