Rolling Stones Mascot Ronnie Wood Smokes Meringue And Destroys His Own Legend

RONNIE Wood says he once smoked a meringue. Food might not the drug you’d first associate with the Rolling Stones’ mascot, and he his tried to cover his tracks by saying that he thought it was crack cocaine.

Too late, Ronnie. You’ll be on Ready Steady Cook by his time next week and chatting about health and fat with Jamie Oliver.

Says Ronnie:

“It got to the point where I would be on my hands and knees looking for crumbs that might have fallen out of the crack pipe. I even banned my children eating meringues in the house after I ended up smoking sugar, believing it to be cocaine.”

Justin Bieber Not Arrested And Koran Not Hit By Water Bomb: Video

JUSTIN Bieber has not been arrested. It’s a big day for no news. And following the news that Pastor Terry Jones did not burn a Koran on the day that remains International Burn a Koran Day, we learn that Justin Bieber was not arrested.

But you want to know what Bieber did not to get arrested for. Well, he lobbed a water balloon at a state trooper and hit him below the belt. Story goes that Bieber had been chucking water on people’s nether regions all day. Why? Well, when you’re so young and just moving out of pull ups you want to blend in.

So. Would Bieber’s show at the Maryland State Fair on Sunday be cancelled as the little one is admonished and sat on the naughty step? No. Everything is fine. He is not arrested.

Wayne Rooney And Coleen Stop Boasting About Their Wonderful Lives To Ask For Privacy

WAYNE Rooney and Coleen Rooney, currently embroiled in claims that the Manchester United ace has shagged Jennifer Thompson and Helen Wood (NSFW photos), have issued a joint statement in which they say the “last six days have been extremely painful for us and for our families“.

They then blame the media for adding to their pain:

“It is impossible for us, as it would be for any family, to attempt to resolve any issues in the current media glare and against the backdrop of so many inaccurate and intrusive stories.

“We would therefore ask that the media now respects our privacy and the right of our family to discuss these matters in private.”

Privacy? This would be the same Rooney family who appear on the cover of Hello! for Coleen to tell us in June 2010:

“I like surprises and sometimes Wayne will spring things on me, like he’ll say: ‘Come on, let’s got out for dinner – go and get ready’”

Chances are that Coleen does not like all surprises – just the good ones.

In other private moments:

* We’ve seen Wayne take a piss.

* Coleen has shown off six-bedroom home in Barbados in a Hello! boast card:

“People often come up and say, ‘You’re just so normal’.”

* Coleen has told us that baby Kai is “not a crier

* Coleen has told us that she walks on a gym machines

“You should let babies be babies and just put them in babygros.”

* Coleen told us: “I actually need to start going again because my wardrobe’s getting a bit empty.”

Adding:

“I do have quite a big wardrobe”

* Wayne told us that he likes to read Harry Potter books

* Coleen has told us about her shopping habits:

“If I really like something I will buy it.”

* Coleen has been apparently airbrushed to flog her perfume

* Coleen has invited Hello! readers to her 21st birthday party

* Coleen has “Porridge with soya milk and fresh raspberries for breakfast

So. Having traded on the image of a wonderful life the call is now for privacy…

In a Sunday Mirror exclusive, 37-year-old brunette Gina McCarrick, dressed in her favoured cowgirl outfit, said: 'Wayne didn't turn me on at all. He was ugly. He had a face like a smacked arse.' Rooney later confessed to having visted the den around 10 times.

Is Lou Reed’s Snub The Start Of The Susan Boyle Backlash?

LOU Reed helps the Susan Boyle backlash by banning the Hairy Angel from singing Perfect Day. Because he “didn’t like” her.

Scheduled to warble the song on America’s Got Talent, she had to retrain the reality TV show staple that is Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.

Insiders reportedly claimed that the former Velvet Underground frontman refused to let SuBo sing the song because he “didn’t like” her.

An “insider” tells us:

“Susan was devastated. Basically the message came through was that Lou just didn’t like her.”

Auschwitz Is Now A Video Game Film: Video

UWE Boll is creating a film about Auschwitz. The film will be treated in his usual sensitive manner, as you can see from the clip below.

Boll is best known for making terrible film based on video games. Auschwitz was not a video game, but given Boll’s treatment it might have been.

The trailer features Boll dressed as a Nazi nodding off as the dying scream and hammer on the metal door behind him.

(Article continues after these memorable pictures of the death camp.)

GQ Men Of The Year Awards Are All About The Women (In Photos)

THE GQ Men of The Year Awards are about one thing: women. Marc Ronson’s hair shone like a big ear bud (used). JLS would have looked good had it not been for member Ortise Williams confusing the do with a school disco. And Top Shop boss Sir Phillip Green looked like he’d been pured into Wyatt Earp’s clothes and forgotten to say “when”; and Mad Men’s Jon Hamm oozed. They tried to grab the limelight. But the women won.

Daisy Lowe had loegs; Gemma Arterton had legs; Lilly Allen hid her legs beneath a pregnancy burqa; and Holly Valance gave hope to millions of fit birds worried that they may never find a shorter man with lots of money to love…

The Winners:

Pregnant Lily Allen Inspires The Tamara Drew Sequel? Pictures

WE spotted Gemma Arterton, arriving for the UK premiere of Tamara Drewe, the film version of Posy Simmons’ knowing graphic book and Guardian comic strips set on a writers’ retreat for pretentious shits, narcissists and adulterers.

They all who want to shag Tamara. It’s tupping season in the county and Tamara is the needy prize sow.

But at the premier Arterton she was upstaged by Lily Allen. The urban singer is pregnant. Allen recently moved from London to the Cotswolds.

Thanks to Allen, Simmons’ satire might yet get new shot of life…

Inspiring Cate Blanchett On The Death Of The Likable Australian

CATE Blanchett is in conversation with Mindfood magazine. Pay attention.

Blanchett said she initially tried to shield her boys, Dashiell, 8, Roman, 6, and Ignatius, 2, from her work:

”It’s a very, very difficult job to do with children, and I think in our first year we were trying to quarantine them from what we do so their lives were hermetically sealed and they didn’t feel the impact of our work.”

The three children are now adjusting to the magnitude of mum and dad. As Cate says:

”We’re there to inspire and provoke – that’s our job.”

Adding:

”It’s in the mind of the artist the future is imagined. You say that loudly in this country, and you sound pretentious but it is, in fact, true …”

CHERLY Cole has “dumps” Derek Hough. So says The People on its front page.

The Mirror tells its readers:

Days after her divorce from love-rat footballer Ashley Cole, the Girls Aloud star is ready to go public about her feelings for US dancer Derek…

But over in the Star, the news is that Cheryl has got new tattoo on her lower back – “to signify life without Ashley.”

Given that the back of her neck says “Mrs Cole”, might Chezza’s new ink be an arrow that says “ignore the above?” But does she have  a new tattoo, right? Cheryl has recently recovered from malaria – would going under the a tattooist’s needle be wise?

At leasy we can be sure that Derek and Cheryl are no more, right? Or as the Star says:

CHERYL Cole and hunky dancer Derek Hough are set to seal their romance with a tattoo of a pair of lovebirds.

Such are the tabloid facts…

YOKO Ono spent a part of today sat in the front room of John Lennon’s former home in Mendips, Liverpool, as a kind of living exhibit. Lennon lived in the house with his Aunt Mimi and Uncle George from 1945-1963. He’s dead now. But Yoko lives.

She called in to the house after meeting Sure Start members at John’s old school, Dovedale School. The kids waved and cheered. Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh! They’ve no idea who the weird old lady is but she got them time off class! Cheers, John!

JLS Book Signing Stampede In Photos

JLS have never declared war on anyone – to the best of our knowledge. But they still managed to cause a commotion as the lads signed copies of their new book, Just Between Us: A Private Diary. Outside Selfridges in London an ambulance stood by. No, not to take away Tony Blair, that failed pop star for whom no-one weeps for joy. The van was there to help the swooning victims of Jonathan ‘JB’ Gill, Marvin Humes, Ortise Williams and Aston Merrygold of JLS. As they say at the JLS stampede, “Tony who..?”
