Russian Waitress On Ronnie Wood: "I'm in Love With Him"



You know the story. A rolling stone gathers no moss. The rock star, aging, veers from his established relationship with the mother of his children to -- pace, 2008 -- the Russian waitress with a heart of gold. How could he resist? Those hard "r's" and long "O's (May i take your orderrr..)." The international press turns on them, the leathery rocker -- Eew-- is gently coaxed out of the boozy entanglement by his kids into rehab, and then the waitress -- perhaps hoping to parlay a tryst into another 15 minutes of warholian attention -- "speaks out," From the extremely downmarket Newsoftheworld:

"THE teenage girlfriend of Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood last night spoke for the first time about their relationship and insisted: 'I’m in love with him.'

"In an exclusive interview with the News of the World, Ekaterina Ivanova — known as Katia—revealed the truth about their sensational affair and exploded some of the myths surrounding it.

"'The 19-year-old art student also slammed critics who have branded her a gold-digger and a 'Russian slut.' She revealed she:

"HAD a full-blown SEXUAL relationship with 61-year-old Ronnie which began with an 'intense friendship.'"


Pop quiz: how many times does 61 "go into" 19 (Exaggerated cough suggesting feigned detachment)? Extra Credit: Quantify the post-Cold War effects of the Russian engagement with the UK? More here.
