A REVEALING MICK JAGGER MEMORY

Yesterday was Mick Jagger’s 81st birthday and he’s still going strong with his girlfriend of ten years, Melanie Hamrick. Former Ballerina Melanie (age “around 37”) and Mick have a seven year old son. His earlier marriage to Bianca Jagger didn’t last that long – and we think we know why. We had a Rock n Roll clothing store on Sunset Strip in the 70’s called The Garment District, (across from Tower Records) and one day Mick and Bianca came in. Bianca immediately gathered up a huge assortment of clothing and dumped it on my desk, asking “What discount can you give me?” We replied “Sorry, no discounts.” She refused to buy anything without a discount, and left all the clothing for me to hang up. Meanwhile Mick had picked out a t-shirt he liked that came in several colors, and he couldn’t decide whether to buy it in blue or green. After examining both VERY carefully, he purchased one $20 shirt. You’d think with all his money he would have purchased both, without a thought! He was frugal, but very nice, and never asked for a discount. We weren’t surprised when he and Bianca divorced a few years later…

LINDSAY LOHAN WANTS BETTY FORD TO GIVE HER A DISCOUNT

Readers at this site were the first to know that Lindsay Lohan was calling her wealthy friends from Betty Ford and begging them for money because she is, despite denials, broke. Looks like nobody wanted to invest in her future because now she’s begging the people at Betty Ford to give her the discount they give to “indigents.” That’s less than $10,000 for the full treatment. So far, no decision from the center. (Does that mean she’ll be washing dishes?)
