Rolling Stone and admitted alcoholic Ronnie Wood, 62, has fallen off the wagon in a BIG way. He's moved an 18 year old Russian cocktail waitress that he met at an "escort bar" into his house in Ireland. Ronnie's long suffering wife of 23 years, Jo, (above left) and their four children are living in his home in England. Ronnie met Ekaterina Ivanova (above right) three months ago after the London premier of his movie "Shine a Light" and they've been on a drinking binge together ever since. Wood has been to rehab half a dozen times - once he was carted off after he was found inebriated under a restaurant table, biting peoples ankles. His publicist admits he's downing three bottles of vodka a day with his teenage companion. Ronnie loves to party - he once said "I don't want to end up being a bore like Eric Clapton."

A significant moment in "Shine a Light," Martin Scorsese's documentary on The Rolling Stones, was a clip from a 1970's press interview with Mick Jagger. Mick was asked if he could imagine being on stage at 60 and he replied "Yeah....easily." Little did he know how inspiring that attitude would turn out to be. Stones fans who saw the documentary walked away feeling more than just entertained. Mick Jagger is an inspiration. He's 65 and has the enthusiasm of a young man. He's slim, trim, and well dressed - and can sing almost anybody under the table. He's the heart - and the BRAINS - behind the band. (He does all the business side of the job.) In fact the whole band looks great - they're in shape and coincidentally they all have hair, and make no effort to disguise their wrinkles. The message is: If THEY can wear velvet pants and work and have fun and be hip and cool, ANYONE can do it.
