Rolling Stone’s Ronnie Wood, 61, Leaves Wife for Teen?

July 11th, 2008

Has Rolling Stone rocker, Ronnie Wood, left his wife of 23-years to play around with some 18-years old Russian cocktail waitress?

His wife is saying, no - but the teen is saying, yes.

Ron Wood met Ekaterina Ivanova a few months back, after the premiere of Martin Scorsese’s documentary on the band, Shine a Light. Now Ekaterina is telling people via Facebook that Ronnie left his wife for her and that they are enjoying a relationship together.

Rumor has it that the new couple bolted out of town and headed to Wood’s home in Ireland.

Despite his leaving, Wood’s wife, Jo, 53, is refusing to believe that her husband is romantically involved with the teen. She told members of the press that her husband and Ekaterina went on a painting trip and that, “They’re not boyfriend and girlfriend - not in that way.”

Apparently she is trying desperately to save her husband who has fallen off the wagon, and hard.

Again.

A source says that the girl is simply a drinking buddy for Ron, who has struggled with sobriety for years.

“Ronnie is not being his normal self. He is an alcoholic and he’s fallen off the wagon. He is drinking two bottles of vodka a day and there is no way he would be behaving like this if he was sober. He went out and found himself a drinking partner. That is what this girl is. He knows that his family wouldn’t tolerate him behaving like this so he has run away to go and drink himself crazy.”

Wood, who admitted he had an alcohol/cocaine addiction eight years ago, has been in and out of rehab an amazing amount of times since.

He originally checked in to The Priory clinic in June 2000, but relapsed within weeks of checking out. He went back in April 2001 and that too, only lasted weeks of his departure.

Then in March 2004 he headed back to rehab after being found passed out under a restaurant table. And in March 2005, one year later, he screwed up once again after getting sloshed at his wife’s 50th birthday bash.

Rehab again.

But no, it doesn’t end there, he also sought treatment in 2006 after doing the same thing at his 59th birthday party.

That woman must love him. Jo has always let it be known that she’s hated her husband’s drinking problems, but has managed to stay by him for years and years. It is said that his alcoholism has deeply affected his two children who are now adults.

I Love Coldplay, So I’m Not Getting Worked Up Over One Track

June 18th, 2008

They are amazing live! And their music always makes me feel peaceful and good about myself. Like, it literally raises my serotonin levels.

Luv ya, boys. :)

Just as his band is accused of ripping off someone else’s song, Coldplay’s Chris Martin says in an interview that he and his bandmates are “the world’s worst—but most enthusiastic—plagiarists. We’ll try and copy anyone.”

Now, we’re pretty sure Martin was just being self-deprecating as he and a bandmate discussed trying to write a song like Blur’s “Sing” (which is a great song). The point seems to be that great music inspires them and fuels their own creativity.

We’re guessing he—and the band’s lawyers—are probably wishing he’d said just that instead.

Get the rest of the quote after the jump.

Martin says:

“We’re one of the world’s worst—but most enthusiastic—plagiarists as a band. We’ll try and copy anything but tend to fail, so we come up with something…that sounds like us—only through trying to sound like somebody else.”

Over the past few months, Chen has blogged and twittered about a new man in her life: “Patrick.”

When she started posting pictures of her beau, “Patrick’s” identity immediately became obvious: Patrick Hamm, who holds a Teaching Fellowship with Harvard’s department of sociology.

Swizz Beatz Speaks Out on Alicia Keys Homewrecker Rumors

June 17th, 2008

Alicia Keys Swizz Beats, Alicia Keys Swiss Beats, Swizz Beats

“Everybody can have their fun right now talking that dumb sh– about my divorce and all that. I’mma give them something to talk about. People get divorced every f—in’ day. They need to worry about more serious things.”

The big rumor in the tabloids is that Swizz and his wife broke up over the proverbial “other woman.” What made the story so sensational was that the alleged mistress in this case was Grammy winner Alicia Keys. Swizz dismissed it.

“It ain’t even bad. My divorce, it ain’t nothing bad. It’s just us moving on. Me and Shonda are super good. It is what it is. [The press] are nine months late on the situation. It’s a headache to me. We been separated nine or 10 months already. I’m not hiding anything,” he added.

“I can see if I was hiding something. I’m a grown man. Nobody is living no perfect life. Mashonda has a single coming out that I funded, photo shoots that I funded. We made our statement that we’re still working together. They didn’t wanna believe it. I said I would be continuing to support her career. Nobody wants to look at that sh–. They wanna look at ‘Alicia Keys.’ That sh– is ignorant.”

“I can see if I was hiding something. I’m a grown man. Nobody is living no perfect life.” - Not only was he givin’ Alicia some thunder, he’s probably riding that ass right now.

Alicia Keys Affair Scandal?!

June 12th, 2008

WOAH! I thought Alicia was strictly vajayjay.

Mashonda made this statement to Hip Hop Weekly regarding an alleged affair between Swiss Beatz and Alicia Keys:

[Alicia Keys] is her own woman and she has made her own choices. I don’t have a problem with her. I will say this though, I am not a scorned woman. I have a responsibility to raise [my son], he’s my number one priority and everyday I strive more for him and of course my music.”

If Barbara Walters did it, Alicia could too. Hot dayum!

Shia LaBeouf Regrets Glay Slur Video

June 11th, 2008

shia_labeouf180.jpg

Shia LaBeouf is “very embarrassed” about a video posted on YouTube in which he uses an homophobic slur in jest, the star’s rep says.

The video – which circulated around the Internet on Monday but has since been taken off YouTube – was recorded several years ago, LaBeouf’s rep told E! online.

In it, LaBeouf appears to be at a house party where, in an attempt to entice his friend into a slapping contest, the star calls the friend an anti-gay slur – and gets hit in return.

“The videotape that is currently being circulated is several years old and captures Shia playing a game among friends in which he uses a derogatory word toward a friend,” LaBeouf’s rep continued. “He regrets having used the word in any capacity and is very embarrassed that this footage is being seen by anyone.”

Bill Clinton Gena Gershon Affair Vanity Fair Article Fallout

June 4th, 2008

Bill Clinton Gena Gershon

Former US President Bill Clinton denied the claims in Vanity Fair journalist Todd Purdum’s attempt at an expose, claiming the former commander in chief had a sexual relationship with actress Gina Gershon. An upset Bill talked to the Huffington Post where he fired back, saying Todd was a “sleazy,” “dishonest,” “slimy,” “scumbag.” Why so many S words, Bill?! You know he was aching to use a bunch of F-bombs and a few “son of a bitch” references in there.

President Clinton’s spokeswhore Jay Carson later issued an apology/ explanation:

“President Clinton was understandably upset about an outrageously unfair article, but the language today was inappropriate and he wishes he had not used it.”

But it didn’t end there! Gena Gershon has fired back too, saying she met Bill on three occasions (when other people were always present) and she demands a retraction and correction.

It feels like the media and politics is getting more “sleazy” “slimy” and “dishonest.” What’s the ulterior motive behind publishing this story now, nearly a decade after Clinton left office? Oh, magazine sales, press. Look at George Dubya Bush’s former bitch writing that What Happened book. When there’s so much potential publicity and compensation involved, who can ya trust these days?

Huffington Post, tmz,
