From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If there was one actress we wouldn’t have pitched as Morrissey’s chosen muse any time in the next decade, it would be the muse for his new video for “Earth is the Loneliest Planet”, Pamela Anderson.
The buoyant Baywatch actress and Playboy cover star can be see languishing on the Capitol Tower rooftop in Los Angeles as the Smiths frontman moodily recounts the lines from his spoken word track alongside her.
There’s some good starring off buildings action, framed with thickly lined eyes, and an impressive spell of poetic posturing from the man who once likened the consumption of meat to paedophilia.
And that’s about all that happens in the 58-second clip, the track of which is set to be released on Tuesday (3 June) via Harvest Records. Which we would show you, but Morrissey’s VEVO channel has since rendered the YouTube clip only available to view in private.
The pair are both famous vegetarians, who have stridently campaigned for PETA in the past. And while it might appear to be the most random team-up since Ozzy Osbourne and Miss Piggy, the pair have apparently been friends for some years, even, if reports by Fact are to be believed, having spent a vegetarian Thanksgiving together with Kid Rock, retired basketball player John Salley and a live turkey.
“Earth Is the Loneliest Planet” has been taken from Morrissey’s forthcoming album, World Peace Is None of Your Business, out on 14 July.
It follows the title track, which was accompanied by a video featuring Nancy Sinatra, “The Bullfighter Dies” and “Istanbul”.
