What's Bigger The Rock Or The Star?

I almost feel like I should be writing a Knock Knock joke, "Who's there? It's me Ron Wood from the Rolling Stones...I want you to meet my new 34 year old wife!" Rock wives would make the best candidates to serve jury duty! The lawyers ask, "Have you read or heard anything about this case? Have you experienced anything like it?" And the Rock wife replies, "Ummm I just know my man loves me..." Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson Richie Sambora and Heather Locklear Eddie Van Halen and Valerie Bertinelli Rod Stewart and Alana Hamilton Rod Stewart and Rachel Hunter Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley Sonny and Cher Cher and Dewayne Allman Ike and Tina Turner Jack and Meg White from White Stripe Believe it or not the term Hollywood Marriage originally meant a glamorous high society marriage between celebrities. Not such a pretty place in 2012. While looking at Justin Timberlake's wedding photos at Harris Teeter I kept whispering, "Please God make this one last longer than forty spins on a Hot Top 40 station." Kanya West and Kim Kardashian's magical moment will rip $20 million out the bank account and probably another $100 million to mend on an hourly basis. What is it with Rock Stars and chicks? Rick Ocasic from the Cars scored a serious relationship with model Paulina Porizkova. For three decades every good looking man in the world has been running around trying to figure out how Beauty fell in love with her Beast. How about making real connections with real everyday heroes? The midnight man taking orders at Taco Bell has the world eating out of the palm of his hand. Jump on that burrito! The forklift driver that uses big metal instruments to raise the world above your head. Doctors and CEO's are overrated. General Manager's make promises they can't keep. A great busboy knows how to keep a table clean while a city taxi driver keeps his love between the lines. Hey back to the original story! RollingStone Magazine reports guitarist Ronnie Wood is engaged to marry Sally Humphreys, a 34-year-old theater producer. Wood split from his second wife, Jo Wood, in 2008. A collection of memorabilia and artwork owned by the couple was recently auctioned off as part of their divorce settlement, which was finalized in 2011. Jo Wood's memoir, which will include tales about her marriage to the guitarist, is set to hit shelves next February. The Stones recently played their first live show since 2007, a gig at La Trabendo in Paris to warm up for their upcoming 50th anniversary shows in London and Newark, New Jersey. Fan-shot footage from the Paris show recently surfaced as well. Wait wait! I need to provide some equal time for Rock couples that have survived the storms up the very moment this was Blogged. They may be gone but damn if you weren't moved by Johnny and June Carter Cash and John Lennon and Yoko Ono. What about Paul and Linda McCartney? Ozzy and Sharon. Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed?
