Mick Jagger

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…

MICK JAGGER CAN ALWAYS GET WHAT HE WANTS

Even a rainstorm couldn’t stop the biggest celebration in London this weekend: Mick Jagger’s 80th birthday party. It started early at Mick’s home in London and continued at a Chelsea nightclub until 3 AM. Mick was with his current companion Melanie Hamrick (they have a 7 year old son!) Nice to see that Mick’s ex Jerry Hall was there along with several of his adult kids, numerous UK socialites, and plenty of celebrities. Ronnie Wood  was there, but no Keith. Poor Leonardo DiCaprio! He looks disappointed that he can no longer wear a covid mask to disguise his famous self, so he has to pull his baseball cap down to avoid attention. Mick looks like he’s in good shape – and no beard!

ROCK ROYALTY SONS INVADING THE WORLD OF FASHION

European menswear designers are using a lot of celebrity kids as models to liven up their shows and if they’re not on the runway, they are front row fixtures.Two regulars, above, are old pals Kailand Morris, 20, (he’s Stevie Wonder’s son) and Mick Jagger’s son Lucas Jagger, 22. Lucas’s mom is Brazilian model Luciana Gimenez– her affair with Mick Jagger broke up his marriage to Jerry Hall. Lucas is following in his model mom’s footsteps. Kailand (left) models too, but he also interned at Dior and is on his way to becoming a fashion designer. LOVE that zoot suit…

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!

JERRY HALL IS BACK IN THE GAME

Usually when a model is past her prime and her rockstar boyfriend takes off, things go downhill. But not for Jerry Hall! The Texas model had a 22 year relationship with Rolling Stone Mick Jagger that produced four children. Their Bali marriage “ceremony” was declared invalid in court, and Jerry was left high and dry. But not for long. With her kids grown, Jerry dabbled in acting and TV until she hooked up with media mogul (and our former boss) Rupert Murdoch and they married in 2016. Life is good again – Jerry, 62, was photographed arriving at the UK airport after attending the Oscars with her husband.

A SLIPPERY SLOPE FOR MICK JAGGER

He was leaving a Christmas party in London when Mick Jagger gasped as he felt himself stripping on the slick stairs. Fortunately he was able to grab to arm of a man nearby – he appeared to be his bodyguard. A trip to the hospital would have been inconvenient: not only has Mick been spending time with his 31 year old girlfriend Melanie Hamrick (they have an 8 month old baby boy together) but he’s also been seen with other young women in cities where the band is appearing.

MICK JAGGER: TIME IS ON HIS SIDE

You still get your money’s worth at a Rolling Stones concert. Seems like Mick Jagger, 74, is destined to outlive all of us. Retiring is out of the question and Jagger’s energy level is astonishing for a GREAT-grandfather! Mick’s current girlfriend is ballerina Melanie Hamrick, 30, and 8 months ago they had their first child together- a boy they named Deveraux. Mick’s 8th offspring – he can afford it.
