Doesn't sound like a lousy time, now really?
STINGY old man of rock ROD STEWART is dusting the moths off his wallet to splash out more than £1MILLION on his wedding day.
The crinkly crooner is notorious for giving Scots a bad name with his habit of handing out tiny tips.
But either fiancée PENNY LANCASTER has got hold of his credit card or Rod is so head over heels in love he has lost control of his senses.
I can reveal the pair are to tie the knot at the exclusive Portofino resort on the Italian Riviera in June and are flying all their guests over by private jet.
The actual location for the wedding is a closely guarded secret.
But it is thought it will be the exclusive Hotel Splendido, the hideaway where late actor RICHARD BURTON proposed the first time he married screen legend LIZ TAYLOR in the Sixties.
Happy couple ... Rod and Penny

After the ceremony lucky guests will be Sailing as they are whisked away to party on a luxury yacht away from prying eyes.
A friend let slip the wedding details before even Rod’s parents have been told what to expect.
The pal said: “It’s all been planned for June 16 in Portofino.
“They have hired a venue in the town and he is going to charter a couple of private jets to get his guests there.
“It is going to cost a small fortune but he wants it to be a memorable day.
“Some very famous names have been invited but they have been sworn to secrecy. It’s going to be quite a day.”
Guests on the preliminary list include ELTON JOHN, DAVID FURNISH, MICK JAGGER, comedian BILLY CONNOLLY and former soccer star KENNY DALGLISH.
PARIS HILTON — a close pal of Rod’s daughter KIMBERLY — is also said to have been invited, along with her sister NICKY.
Rod became a dad for the seventh time in November 2005, at the age of 60, when Penny gave birth to Alastair.
It must be Rod’s old age which is making the tightwad become more generous.
He was once rumoured to have made a 20-mile round trip back to an LA restaurant because he had been charged £4 for a bottle of mineral water that he had not ordered.
Rod was married to actress ALANA HAMILTON from 1979 to 1984.
Then, in 1990, he wed model Rachel Hunter. They divorced last year.
Let’s hope it’s third time lucky, eh Rod.

Don't go knocking ol' Rod, now...

Quickly, honey...hunt me down some $$$ figures on his recent tour!
Programs ran for $40
T-Shirts, about $45-$60...yeah, a fucking T-shirt!
Tickets cost me 2 1/2 trips to the day-spa...
Surely, he can spring for another 100 guests at best!

Great shots there Parmy, thanks.
How was his band? |

Nelly...we all know Rod has always surrounded himself with beautiful woman. His band was not exempt to exploit his legecy!
The beautiful and most talented J'Anna Jacoby on Mandolin
....AND Fiddle
The incredibly haunting Katja Rieckermann and her Saxophone ...which btw took my husband 2 songs to figure out what she was actually playing! Damn fool was checking out the black laced corset...didn't realize she had this huge brass horn running up the entire front of her body, lol
...and yes, she played it effortlessly!
And we can't forget Robin Ruddy on Steel Guitar!
Robin also strums a Banjo...oddly enough, I didn't catch her playing it. Go figure!
The boys accompanying these fine ladies didn't do too bad themselves. Rod chose his pieces wisely, I believe  |
