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…

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.

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.

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.

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.

JOHNNY DEPP AND AMBER HEARD COULDN’T RESIST THE ROLLING STONES

The Rolling Stones were the talk of LA before Saturday when they had a secret concert scheduled at the Echoplex club in Echo Park, which holds only 700 people. First come-first served tickets were sold at the El Rey theater during the same day for $20 apiece with strings attached. Everyone in line with an I.D. could only buy ONE ticket and they were photographed and given a wrist band for entry. No cameras or cellphones allowed. Needless to say the line was humongous. The concert was amazing, but the BIG news was the fact that Johnny Depp, 49, and his Rum Diary costar Amber Heard, 27, were there holding hands right out in the open. Looks like a serious romance since they’ve been discreetly fooling around a couple of years now….

BILL WYMAN: TIME ISN’T ON HIS SIDE

Maybe Bill Wyman shouldn’t have left The Rolling Stones back in ’93 because he just hasn’t aged as gracefully as the rest of the Stones. Remember, Wyman was considered a womanizer back in his heyday and is said to have slept with over 1000 women. The band carried on without him, but they still look like aging rock stars and he’s lost his style…
