MAYBE YOU CAN GET WHAT YOU WANT!

If you’re a die-hard Rolling Stones fan or a tourist, you might find exactly you want at the new Rolling Stones store opening September 9 – on “swinging” Carnaby Street, of course. They’re optimistically calling it a “flagship store” -which means they are planning a chain of such stores – but isn’t ONE really enough? The shop has the subtle name: R.S. No.9 -(it’s located at 9 Carnaby St.) and it will feature the band’s huge music catalog and latest releases, t-shirts and clothing for men, women, and children. Of course, since it IS in London, raincoats and umbrellas (like the one above) will be available. And hopefully lots of band memorabilia. Of course, the sales clerks working there will have to listen to Rolling Stones music all day every day…

RONNIE WOOD’S HAIR CONTINUES TO AMAZE

Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood claims to come from a family of Gypsies – maybe that’s where he got that magical hair. The 73 year old musician seems to be aging normally, but he still has the hair of a much younger man. (Actually all of the Rolling Stones still possess a lot of hair- something in the drugs?) ) Wood KNOWS how lucky he is to have thick dark hair (he doesn’t even DYE it!) Ronnie was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2017 (after 50 years of smoking) and he refused chemotherapy because he didn’t want to lose his hair. He opted for surgery and it was successful. Lucky guy in more ways than one…

Billy Idol Rolling Stones

BILLY IDOL: TIME IS ON HIS SIDE TOO

If you wanted to see celebrities on Thursday night you should have gone to the Rolling Stones concert at The Rose Bowl in Pasadena. It’s a gigantic stadium, but we’re sure the famous people were sitting in the best section, with VIP parking etc. Otherwise it could be a madhouse. Billy Idol is one of our favorite celebs to show up – and he still looks cool… Billy wasn’t dancing with himself, he was with his girlfriend China Chow.

Health Scare Mick Jagger Rolling Stones

MICK JAGGER: TIME IS ON HIS SIDE

Okay, like a lot of people, when we heard that Mick Jagger is ailing and postponing his tour for at least three months for medical treatment, we were at jolted at the sudden idea of his mortality. Genetically, Mick, 75, is blessed- his lookalike father was a gym teacher and lived an active life until the age of 93. We were HOPING that Mick needed hip replacement surgery and chose not to talk about it because it’s a sign of ageing. Unfortunately, it turns out that Mick’s health “problem” was discovered by doctors when he was examined for his tour insurance. A painful hip develops gradually and it’s not a surprise. That’s not good news and we have our fingers crossed for Mick.

UPDATE: Luckily, Mick’s mystery affliction turned out to be a fixable heart problem- we bet he’ll be back in action sooner than expected!

Couples Keith Richards Patti Hansen Rolling Stones

KEITH RICHARDS STILL HAS HIS SUPERMODEL

Apparently no nannies came between Keith Richards, 74, and his wife Patti Hansen, 62, because they’ve been married since 1982, and successfully raised two daughters. Supermodel Patti was at the height of her modeling success when they met, but neither of their careers got in the way of their relationship. This rock couple survived Keith’s rockstar lifestyle and Patti’s bladder cancer ten years ago, and we always marvel at their longevity. Last night they attended Donna Karan’s Urban Zen Foundation event in New York.

Hair Replacement Hair! Rolling Stones Ronnie Wood

CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE RONNIE WOOD’S REAL HAIR?

How is it possible for a 71 year old man to have the full head of hair an 18 year old? We can find no evidence that Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood has had any hair augmentation! Last year Ronnie went in for his usual check-up before commencing the 2017 European tour with the Stones, and the doctor found a malignant lesion on his lung. Ronnie had a five hour surgery to remove the cancer but refused chemotherapy because he didn’t want to lose his hair! He smoked for over fifty years, but the lucky musician is so far cancer free and he’s the first to admit “I shouldn’t be here!” But he is. Ronnie is currently performing in the UK on the Stones current World Tour.

Kids Rolling Stones Ronnie Wood

RONNIE WOOD THINKS TIME IS ON HIS SIDE

The Rolling Stones tumbled into Barcelona this week for their Wednesday concert and Ronnie Wood stole the show at the airport.
70 year old Wood became a father 16 months ago – twin girls, as a matter of fact. The septuagenarian band’s arrival was enlivened by the two babies, Alice and Gracie, along with Ronnie’s wife Sally, 39, (in red) and several nannies. Ronnie swears he’s an active dad – changing diapers and whatever’s needed. These are his 5th and 6th kids….

L'Wren Scott Mick Jagger Rolling Stones Yoko Ono

MICK JAGGER’S GIRLFRIEND L’WREN SCOTT: ANOTHER YOKO ONO?

Interesting how the Rolling Stones compared Mick Jagger’s girlfriend L’Wren Scott to Yoko Ono. According to Page Six, when they saw her, they whispered “Here comes Yoko!” By all accounts L’Wren, who hanged herself a few days before her business was set to close, had a lot be upset about. Mick had helped her establish the business. In their 12 years together, she had traveled on tour with Mick many times before but was not invited on this current tour. She offered to design clothes for the whole band but the rest of the guys said “No thanks” and she only designed Mick’s wardrobe. By all accounts, L’Wren did have a powerful and persuasive personality that might seem controlling – hence the comparison to Yoko. Certainly the band is sympathetic to Mick, because they postponed the Australian tour.

KEITH RICHARDS’ DAUGHTERS GOT A LOT OF THEIR MOTHER’S GENES

Keith Richards almost HAD to marry a gorgeous model like Patti Hansen in order to have goodlooking kids. Their daughters Theodora, 28, and Alexandra, 27, were seen doing a fashion shoot in Manhattan this week. When they’re not modeling, the sisters work as DJ’s.

JOHNNY DEPP INTRODUCES AMBER HEARD TO THE ROLLING STONES

It’s definitely ON. Johnny Depp and his Rum Diary costar Amber Heard were seen last month at a Rolling Stones concert and this week they had dinner with two of the Stones! Johnny, 49, and Amber, 27, and Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood dined together at Ago restaurant in West Hollywood. There has been much speculation about whether Johnny and Amber are, indeed, a couple, but it looks like they are.
