NTV Station Today: Grace Jones, Gavin Newsom’s Secret Admirer
You know who’s cooler than most people? Grace Jones. Not only did the 60-year-old actress/model tussle with Arnold Schwarzenegger in Conan the Barbarian, but she’s a prolific recording artist who’s releasing her 12th album this October. And the video for the first single, Corporate Cannibal, is trippy enough to give Bjork a run for her money.
Also, IFC.com releases its latest web series, The Mary Van Note Show, which chronicles the San Francisco alternative comic’s attempts to score with Mayor Gavin Newsom. But what are her chances of success — either with the mayor or with online video audiences? Steve Bryant reveals all on NewTeeVee Station.

The Björk comparison is quite apt, I think. Grace Jones has always been one of the more frightening fixtures in showbiz.
