Ronnie Wood is finally getting a divorce from a woman to whom he could hardly remember being married to still. For over 15 months, the Rolling Stones member has been very publicly running around with a very young, hot Russian cocktail waitress and it seems that the rock star’s wife has finally had enough. Ronnie’s wife, 53-year old Jo Wood, has reportedly filed divorce papers in London. According to the British tabloid The Sun, it’s all over Ronnie’s adultery. With such a public display of his new relationship, I’m pretty sure that they’ll be getting a quickie divorce. How can you forget you were married to someone?
Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood has offered to paint chef Naked Chef Jamie’s Oliver wife – in the nude.
Wood wanted to paint Jools Oliver naked so she could give the artwork to her famous husband as a Christmas present.
Jools, 34, has admitted that she considered the cheeky offer, but in the end couldn’t strip down in front of the 62-year-old musician.
The mum of three told Red magazine: “The story about me dancing naked for Jamie at Christmas with jingle bells on my boobs – all true!’
“I’m really comfortable with nudity. Ronnie Wood said he’d do a nude painting of me as a present for Jamie.
“I got excited, but when push came to shove, I thought: ‘I’m going to have to sit around naked for ages. What the hell am I going to talk to Ronnie about?’
“I’d just die. Maybe a photo would be easier.”
Jools also admits to wanting her own career in TV, adding: “I’d love to go on Strictly Come Dancing.”
Ronnie Wood has been depicted as a blood-sucking vampire “feeding off young girls” in a new painting by his estranged wife’s brother.
The 62-year-old Rolling Stones star left wife Jo, 54, for 20-year-old Russian model Ekaterina Ivanova last year.
Jo’s brother Paul Karslake, 50, painted the oil painting and said: “It shows Ronnie feeding off young girls.”
Paul said he hasn’t spoken to the ageing rocker since he dumped his sister Jo last year after 23 years together.
Paul added: “I don’t hate the bloke, but I am very annoyed with him. Ron’s a vampire, all those Rolling Stones guys are. They stay up all night and sleep all day.”
The picture is now being auctioned for charity on website eBay.
Ronnie Wood has become a grandfather again after his daughter Leah gave birth to a girl called Maggie.
Leah, 30, and TV producer husband Jack MacDonald welcomed 7lb baby girl Maggie two weeks prematurely, and she will be Wood’s sixth grandchild.
A source said: “Mother and baby are doing really well and the family are thrilled.”
Leah’s parents Ronnie, 61, and Jo have recently started divorce proceedings after Ronnie left Jo, his wife of 23-years, in July last year for 20-year-old Russian model Ekaterina Ivanova.
The former wife of Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood has apparently been on an endless quest to find love again ever since her husband left her for a young Russian waitress. Jo Wood’s son, Jamie, said the following about her: “Mum’s had a new lease of life. It was hard at first when Dad went, but every cloud has a silver lining. She’s free and now she’s trying to spread her message. And she has so much energy – she’s amazing. We can’t keep up with her. She’s out all the time.” Jo Wood herself said the following about regaining her freedom: “Well, what do you want me to do? Sit at home and knit booties? I don’t think so. How am I going to meet the right man if I’m not out and about?” Knitting booties would’ve probably been more productive. But as the legend goes, the damsel in distress must seek out the valiant knight who’s probably hiding in some dark corner with his Prozac in one hand and a shovel in the other.
The Daily Mail is reporting that Rolling Stone guitarist Ronnie Wood has reportedly run off with an 18-year old Russian cocktail waitress that he met at an escort bar three months ago. The rocker’s wife says that her husband isn’t involved with the young girl in that way but the girl from Moscow is apparently already planning a future with the 61-year old guitarist. Ekaterina Ivanova has been telling all her friends and posting updates on her Facebook page that she’s linked to the rocker and is in love. Wood’s publicist says “He’s fallen off the wagon big time. He’s spiraling out of control…He’s not even clear-headed enough to check himself into rehab…He’s on two bottles of vodka a day and he has a size 28 waist.”
He is as famous for his sexual conquests as for his youthful strutting on stage . . . despite being 64.
And Mick Jagger reckons that sex and rock ’n’ roll have something in common — you can have too much of both of them.
The Rolling Stones legend says: “Rock ’n’ roll and playing live is very addictive. But you have to really be careful, because you don’t want to do it all the time. It’s like when you are young and you think if you are not having sex you’re wasting your time. But as you get older you realise everything has its place. It’s the same thing with performing.
“You don’t want to be thinking if you are not gigging, ‘Why am I not performing? I’m just going out to dinner with my friends, how boring is that? I should be out on stage’. Performing is a great thing to do but you don’t want to have to be doing it every night.”
Keith Richards has warned Amy Winehouse to stay away from drugs.
The Rolling Stones rocker – who has previously battled a heroin addiction – says the troubled ‘Rehab’ singer needs to kick her dangerous habit before it ’s too late. The 64-year-old guitarist, who once infamously joked he had snorted his father’s ashes, said: “She should get her act together.”
The band’s frontman Mick Jagger, who was briefly jailed in 1967 for possessing drugs, has also advised young stars not to follow in the Stones’ notorious footsteps.
Speaking at the Berlin premiere of Rolling Stones documentary ‘Shine a Light ‘, Mick said: “When we were experimenting with drugs, little was known about the effects. In our time there were no rehab centres. Anyway I did not know about them.”
Mick, 64, has previously expressed concern for Amy’s wellbeing saying: “I’m worried she might die if she goes down the road she has taken.”
No, no…don’t think the Rolling Stones are back in business. It’s about a series of music compilations that will bear the Rolling Stone name, with the agreement of the respective music magazine. Rolling stone magazine agreed to lend its name to various song selections, both new and old. The CDs will be sold along with copies of the magazine.
It’s not that the magazine doesn’t have enough publicity already or that people wouldn’t buy it otherwise, but with the vast information provided on the internet and with the ever-growing number of people world wide that would rather read about it on the net rather than buying a magazine, it’s getting more and more difficult to sell palpable press releases.
