Rocker Ronnie Wood has been given a serious reality check, says Kerre Woodham.
Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood has had a road to Damascus experience. Apparently, he's dumped his 20-year-old waitress girlfriend - the one he left his wife of 23 years for last July - after a vicious row that saw police called to their home.
And therein lies the rub. It's not their home. It's his. And the 20-year-old opportunist can't bear that she's missing out.
She demanded the ageing rock star put one of his properties, a £3 million ($6.7 million) mansion in Ireland into her name to prove his love for her. After all, his long-suffering wife had just received millions of pounds worth of property and investments in the divorce settlement.
Ekaterina couldn't understand why sugar daddy couldn't give her a slice of the pie as well. And it was then that Ronnie appeared to have his "doh" moment. As in, "Doh! Maybe she doesn't love me for my rakish good looks and my worldly experience. Maybe it's ... the money."
I love the new term coined for old men with younger women. Old tarts might be cougars; old men are rhinos - as in horny and ugly.
And, for Ronnie, the King of the Rhinos, the price of having a young piece of stuff hanging from his withered arm might be more than he's prepared to pay.
