Ronnie Wood's Ex-wife Defends Mick Jagger's Behaviour Following Girlfriend's Death...

by WENN

Rocker Ronnie Wood's ex-wife Jo has spoken out to defend the behaviour of Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger following the death of his girlfriend L'wren Scott.
Scott committed suicide at her New York home in March (14) and last month (Jun14), Jagger sparked speculation he had moved on from his partner of 13 years after he was photographed on a hotel balcony in Switzerland with 27-year-old American ballet dancer Melanie Hamrick.
The images drew harsh criticism from Scott's sister Jan Shane, but the late designer's brother, Randy Bambrough, defended Jagger, insisting there was no reason to doubt the love he had for Scott.
Now Jo Wood, who split from Jagger's bandmate in 2008, has also defended the rocker's behaviour, insisting the singer is simply carrying on with his life the only way he knows how.
She tells Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper, "This is the only life Mick knows after all these years. He's the epitome of rock and roll. He will always have a wild streak, but I say good luck to him. He should grow old disgracefully. When I am 70, I hope I will still be going out with guys. I am sure most men would say, 'How fantastic'. He's 70, go for it. What do people want him to be doing? Sitting in a rocking chair?"

Mick Jagger called a jinx by World Cup fans; his Brazilian baby mama defends him...

Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger has been the target of angry World Cup fans who have called him a "jinx" because they think every time Jagger shows support for a World Cup team, that team loses. According to Time magazine, the backlash against Jagger intensified on July 8, 2014, when Brazil was eliminated from the World Cup after losing to Germany in a 7-1 match held in Rio de Janeiro. Jagger was at the game with his son Lucas, whose mother is Jagger's ex-lover Luciana Gimenez Morad, a Brazilian former model. Lucas was born in 1999, the year that Jerry Hall (the mother of four of Jagger's children) ended her 22-year relationship with Jagger when news of Gimenez Morad's pregnancy went public.
World Cup fans began theorizing about a so-called "Mick Jagger jinx" in May 2014, when on May 29, Jagger said during the Rolling Stones' Rock in Rio concert in Lisbon that Portugal would win the World Cup. But by the end of the month, Portgual was knocked out of the World Cup after a series of defeats.

6 July 1969: Mick Jagger pays poetic tribute to Brian Jones...

Before the Rolling Stones played in Hyde Park yesterday, Mick Jagger paid a tribute to the group's former guitarist, Brian Jones, who died in the swimming pool of his home last week.
He asked the multitude in the Cockpit, a grassy bowl above the Serpentine, to "cool it for a minute because I would really like to say something about Brian. I don't know how to do this thing, but I'm going to try… I'm just going to say something that was written by Shelley."
And he began: "Peace, peace! he is not dead, he does not sleep/He has awakened from the dream of life…"
The mighty throng heard the poem in silence and the dust of the day rose into the sultry air amid the oaks and elms and beeches. From far off, you might have supposed that this great gathering had come to hear a religious leader or some eastern mystic.
The thousands looked like a great dish of confetti and the atmosphere was strangely peaceful. Could there really have been half a million? Some perched like birds in the trees; others stood on piles of tins or upturned litter baskets; girls climbed on the boys' shoulders. And the concert was free.
When Jagger had finished reading, the Stones began to blast the air and thousands of butterflies were released from cardboard boxes. Why the butterflies? "Because," said an organiser, "we thought it would be nice."
Girls and boys wore ornate Chinese robes and smocks in coloured silk with wide purple or orange trousers. Some carried children on their backs. A girl slept using a small black and white dog as a pillow. Others collected for Biafran relief. An old man wore rectangular purple glasses. There were even Scots Guardsmen.
A group of toughs in boots and jeans with their hair shorn drew the attention of a police car. There were kaftans on girls and boys wearing coloured headbands; Damascus robes and gilt Dutch bonnets; there were Indians, Negroes and Chinese.
There were any number of delectable girls with their bra-less breasts bobbing beneath their white vests, confidently aware of their appeal. One wore a lacy transparent dress with nothing at all beneath.
In the musicians' enclosure, rockers and Hells Angels acted as stewards. They wore black leather jackets, Nazi steel helmets and swastikas and crucifixes swinging from neck-chains.
Most were gentle and unmilitary and kept order well. Many in the enclosure were camp followers: beautiful girlfriends and wives, feeding grubby, healthy children. Others were swarthy, wearing rings and handled whippets. Julie Felix was here in jeans. Marianne Faithfull carried a small child and wore a long white dress. A girl official had small nipples peeking from her string dress.
"It's nicer than I expected," said a middle-aged man.

MORE THAN A BASS: Bill Wyman’s detecting discoveries: historic buckles gallery...

Bill Wyman is more than a musician and photographer – the lifelong metal detectorist has also made some beautiful discoveries such as this buckle gallery.

Bill has sent through a collection of some of his buckle finds, presented below as a close-up gallery of buckles that Bill has discovered. Bill has send through 36 close-up photos of his buckle finds, which Bill says were all discovered on his land or in fields in the local area.
Bill says the buckles date from 1100-1700, and were all made from copper alloys. Bill says the buckles are a wide selection from his bigger buckle collection, and would have been used for strap ends, belts, sword belts and shoes.
The dates shown with each buckle in the slideshow below detail the historical period the buckle originated.
His wider collection includes later buckles from horse harnesses or ‘hat and shoe buckles’ from the 18th to 20th centuries, which are not shown here.
Bill has a long history in detecting – and has even created his own Bill Wyman Signature metal detector. You can find out all about Bill Wyman’s metal detector here.
“Metal detecting is not just for anoraks or eccentrics; it’s probably the best and most enjoyable way of learning about our history,” says ex-Rolling Stone Bill Wyman. So much so, that Bill Wyman has designed the metal detector with a unique appeal to children that has won praise from the likes of Richard And Judy

THE SAME OLD STORY: Mick Jagger beds TWO Swedish beauties in 48 hours after Rolling Stones party in Stockholm...

 Party animal: Mick Jagger outside the Grand Hotel, Stockholm

Mick Jagger has moved on from his fling with a young ballet dancer – by this week bedding two girls in 48 hours.
The 70-year-old rocker wooed the women after meeting them at a party following a Rolling Stones concert in Stockholm on Tuesday.
Sir Mick lived up to his rock-and-roll reputation by chatting up the glamorous duo and getting their numbers.
 He then invited them back to his room at Stockholm’s Grand Hotel at different times during the course of two days.
A pal said: “It was typical Mick. He spotted the girls in a bar and quickly charmed them over a couple of drinks.
"By the end of the trip both had been back to his room. It doesn’t take much imagination to guess what went on.”
Mick’s Stockholm antics show his recent romance with 27-year-old Melanie Hamrick was just a fling.
He was pictured last month with New York-based dancer Melanie on the balcony of the Dolder Grand Hotel, Zurich, only 12 weeks after the death of his long-term partner L’Wren Scott, 49.
The tragic fashion designer and model had been found hanged in her New York apartment after ­committing suicide.
Mick’s double fling came as the Stones were in Stockholm rounding off the European leg of their 14 On Fire World Tour in the city’s Tele2 Arena.
The after-show party, with guests including One Direction’s Harry Styles, started in the Grand and moved on to a nearby Abba-themed restaurant.

Mick worked his charm on the women when he later returned to the hotel bar. A fellow partygoer said: “Mick has a natural swagger and ­presence about him which wasn’t lost on the two girls.
“They were both in their thirties, voluptuous, and very attractive – and were clearly keen on him.
“Over the course of his visit they both ended up in his hotel room. He has been making the most of his time on the road – and judging by this, is still as rock and roll as ever.”
Mick’s fling with Melanie had angered L’Wren’s estranged sister Jan Shane – who accused father-of-seven Mick of being “a bigger part of her troubles” than previously thought.
She said of the pictures of the pair together: “They really make me wonder what Mick is thinking and feeling.
“His daughter says he is still heartbroken and devastated about losing my sister and then you see these photos – he will never change.”
But sources close to the star insist Jan, whose ­relationship with L’Wren broke down years ago, knew little about her sister’s life. And they say is Mick is simply trying to enjoy life in the wake of his ­devastating loss.
L’Wren, who had suffered from depression, was found dead in the New York ­apartment bought for her by Mick on March 17. It was later confirmed she had committed suicide.
She left the apartment and all her other valuables, worth around £5.4m, to Mick. She left nothing to her brother Randall, Bambrough who helped make the funeral arrangements.

Fearne Cotton - Fearne Cotton marries Jesse Wood...

by Bang Showbiz

Fearne Cotton has got married to Jesse Wood.
The BBC radio presenter, 32, and the 37-year-old rocker, son of Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood, tied the knot in a low key ceremony at a registry office in London today (04.07.14).
The duo exchanged vows in front of a small number of guests, including Ronnie, 67.
The blonde beauty, whose mother Krissy Findlay died of an accidental overdose in 2005, walked down the aisle with her father, Mick Cotton, in a heavily embellished, white Pucci wedding gown, trimmed with sparkly silver beads, after getting ready for her special day at The Ritz London hotel.
The couple, who have a 17-moth-old son Rex together, announced their engagement last Christmas and have been together since meeting on holiday in Ibiza in 2011.
Fearne recently admitted she couldn't wait to marry Jesse, who has daughter Lola, eight, and son Arthur, 12, from his first marriage to Tilly Wood.
She told the August issue of Red magazine: ''I can't wait to be a wife. It just feels really solid. I want to have the same surname. I want to feel like we've done it properly.''
Fearne was previously engaged to skateboarder Jesse Jenkins, but the couple called off their engagement and split nine months later in 2011.
