Rod Stewart. Ron Wood. Um, the rest of The Faces. Are they about to reform ? (Yes, yes they are.)

No specifics were offered on what type of tea Mumba preferred. Speaking of monkey business, a new bio of Rolling Stone Ron Wood is due to hit...

A pointless piece - to which Gordon adds his own byline as well as the Gordon In The Borrowed Suit branding - this morning: An unnamed friend of Ron Wood's wife Jo says that she's given up on him after an unnamed friend of her son said that he'd been seen drinking neat vodka. An unnamed friend (sorry, a "close chum") of Ron denies he's drinking - albeit offering the shakiest of evidence: “Ronnie O’Sullivan...
