Face it, Mick – the boys are getting a bit mossy
Mick Jagger is denying reports that his girlfriend, stylist L’Wren Scott, is trying to rehab the Rolling Stones’ choice of clothing and smoking habits.
“We have not had any disagreements about clothes, smoking or L’Wren, and this is all very hurtful for her,” the 62-year-old rocker says.
The British press has suggested Scott angered band members by giving them fashion tips and urging some of them to stop smoking.
Jagger says the 38-year-old Scott “would not dream of interfering with a band who have been on the road for 40 years. In fact the band, their wives and girlfriends are all getting along extremely well.”
Jo Wood, wife of Stones guitarist Ron Wood, denies that Scott tried to get her husband to quit smoking.
“L’Wren did give some wonderful jackets to Ronnie that I loved, and I told her if she found anything else I’d love to see them,” she added. “L’Wren has got great taste, is fantastic company and is just one of the girls on tour.”
At least she’s easy to read
The verdict is in: “American Idol” judges say their favorite winner was Fantasia Barrino, who won the third season of the TV talent contest.
“If we had to choose one American Idol to go out to dinner with, it would be Fantasia,” says Simon Cowell. “There are no airs and graces about her. … I like her.”
In her new memoir, “Life is Not a Fairy Tale,” Barrino discloses that she is functionally illiterate.
Not even a seed of truth
A paternity lawsuit against actor Wesley Snipes has been dismissed after a DNA test determined that another man was the father.
The suit was filed in 2002 by a woman who claimed she had sex with Snipes in a Chicago crackhouse and that he was the father of her 3-year-old son.
Snipes refused to submit to a paternity test, but another man agreed to DNA testing and was determined to be the father of the child.
The “Blade” star said in his own suit that he never met the woman and alleged she was a “mentally ill former crack addict” who had made wild claims involving celebrities such as Prince, Oprah Winfrey and former President Bill Clinton.
