: 'They have an extremely volatile relationship - it's very stormy and sexual. One day, Kat will be mocking him for his age and then they will be rowing over his family.' 
It is believed that the pair have had a string of rows as Miss Ivanova has been 'nagging' Wood to put Sandymount House, his £3million listed mansion in County Kildare, Ireland, into her name. 
But the friend said: 'There is no way that Ronnie can do this as he is being forced to sell a lot of his properties to make a divorce settlement for his wife Jo. But Kat wants proof that he loves her.'


wow, all kidding aside, what a total gold digger, you are one stupid, stupid man Ronnie Wood

Oh crap this looks BAD for Ronnie! I bet MICK is furious! This story was covered on the 6:00 and 11:00 TV news in New York, so this story is out there for the world to see. Any publicity is good publicity? Surely not in this case. People didnt take it well with the Chris Brown-Rhianna battering incident. No sympathy for the Devil. This is going to take some major PR work, so I guess MICK has been on the phone with lawyers trying to help diffuse the situation. I cant see the Stones abandoning/replacing Ronnie just yet but this has gotta be the last straw.

I couldn't possibly know what happened between these two since I live about a million miles away. For some reason I couldn't care less, either. Shit happens.

But there's just something about a "Rolling Stone Arrested" headline that makes me smile and think to myself, all's still right with the world after all.

Ronnie Chocked Lover In Street

ROLLING Stone Ronnie Wood was arrested amid claims that he "choked" his young Russian lover during a violent street bust-up.


Together ... Ronnie Wood and Ekaterina Ivanova

The guitarist, 62, was said to have dragged 20-year-old Ekaterina Ivanova by the scruff of her neck in the 30-minute row.



He was held on suspicion of assault but freed yesterday on police bail pending further inquiries.



Wood had threatened to stub out a cigarette in his Russian lover's FACE as they argued in the street, it was claimed last night.



Police arrested the wrinkly Rolling Stones legend after witnesses claimed they saw him "choking" waif-like waitress Ekaterina while dragging her screaming along a pavement.

Last night it was claimed he only halted the alleged assault after a man heard "gurgling" sounds and shouted at him to stop.


Cops are investigating claims the guitarist hovered drunkenly over the terrified beauty with his cigarette inches from her face during a 30-minute fracas.


Ekaterina - said to have been dragged 20ft by the collar of her blouse and jacket - suffered knee injuries near the pair's Surrey home on Wednesday night. Her tights had been ripped.



Witness Celine Dixon said: "We heard a woman screaming, then saw a man pinning her to the ground.


"He was shouting at her then we heard choking sounds so my boyfriend rushed out to help. When he got outside he saw it was Ronnie and Ekaterina."

Dazed Wood - whose band's hits include Street Fighting Man - is said to have walked away, leaving dazed Ekaterina crying in a shop doorway when challenged by Celine's boyfriend Phillip Legge.


She was helped to Phillip and Celine's nearby home and quizzed by police.


Officers then drove her to the £5million pad she shares with Wood in Claygate, Surrey, and arrested him on suspicion of assault.


The alcoholic rock idol - worth an estimated £70million - spent a night sobering up in a grim cell at Staines Police Station.


He was driven home in a BMW limousine yesterday after being put on police bail pending further inquiries.

He has not yet been charged with any offences.


A police source said: "Ekaterina was very distressed and had cuts on her knees from where it seems she'd been dragged along the street.

"But she was insistent she didn't want police involved or to press charges.

"Despite her refusal, witnesses allege this was a potentially serious assault and he may face charges in any case once the evidence is assessed.


"We're looking at allegations that at one point he had her by the scruff of the neck and her collar was so tight she seemed to be choking."


Witnesses said the bust-up came after the pair met at their favourite Indian restaurant.

One local said: "There was an awful racket."


It is the second time in recent months police have been called to an argument between dad-of-four Wood and Ekaterina - at the centre of his break-up from wife Jo in July of last year.



Sunbathing beauty ... but 'distressed' Ekaterina is said to have suffered cuts during street bust-up with rock idol
In September, the star was thought to have dumped the young beauty after a furious row outside a £5million North London mansion.


It was said she threatened to commit suicide during that row over his plans to have dinner with estranged Jo, who appeared on Strictly Come Dancing.


Wood and Ekaterina kissed and made up days later and had seemed happy in their new Claygate home.


But pals say the blonde has become increasingly jealous of her craggy-faced lover's continuing closeness to Jo, 54, and their family.


A spokesman for Wood confirmed his arrest, but said: "We have no further statement at this time." Police said a man was arrested in connection with a "domestic incident".

One thing about all of this is clear.  Toxic relationship.  And those can be worse than any drug.

This is what happens when you turn off your computer for the night...missed it. I hope the story doesn't hold. But the man is obviously a mess.

Ronnie: junior member, least talented (thoug not as big an amateur as some say he is), biggest fuck-up. Still, I don't know if the Stones can work around yet another change in the line-up. So he could very well be the man that ends it all

THAT bit I found somewhat impressive in a twisted way. I suppose though that if he can smoke and play guitar at the same time then keeping a ciggie in his mouth while grabbing someone by the throat should be a piece of piss... although I'd imagine it'd be a bit awkward to shout 'you're a fucking whore' at the same time.

Hehe, I had missed that subtletly, I had just classified it under their "random description" style.

IVANOVA 'WON'T PRESS CHARGES AGAINST WOOD
'RONNIE WOOD's girlfriend EKATERINA IVANOVA is refusing to press charges against the ROLLING STONES rocker after he was arrested on suspicion of assaulting her, according to reports.
The 62-year-old guitarist was held by police on Wednesday (02Dec09) after allegedly choking Ivanova during a 30-minute heated argument outside a restaurant in Surrey, England.
Reports claim the star was drunk as he furiously pushed and shoved his Russian lover in the street - but the 20 year old doesn't want to file a complaint against Wood, according to Britain's The Sun.
A police source tells the publication, "Ekaterina was very distressed and had cuts on her knees from where it seems she'd been dragged along the street. But she was insistent she didn't want police involved or to press charges.
"Despite her refusal, witnesses allege this was a potentially serious assault and he may face charges in any case once the evidence is assessed. We're looking at allegations that at one point he had her by the scruff of the neck and her collar was so tight she seemed to be choking."
Ivanova's mother Irina, who lives in London, claims her daughter is recovering well after the altercation, insisting, "My daughter's doing fine. She is a good girl and a brave girl."
Wood was released from police custody on Thursday (03Dec09) after posting bail.
He split from longterm wife Jo in July last year (08) after his fling with the waitress was exposed.

Ronnie spent the night in jail. That is fvcking sad. I feel sorry for him.

I'm unaware of any specific historical resentment in the UK towards Russians, specifically - even during the Cold War.

I can see what you're getting at, though. I think the subtext you're suggesting is one that demeans her as not only an opportunistic gold-digger and homewrecker who was employed in a dubious profession, but also as another freeloading immigrant - the latter of which is certainly a favourite issue in the press these days.

To be honest, I dont think its really a big deal. You could also interpret it as another means of highlighting what an unlikely couple they are (ie he's English and she's Russian). They do the same thing when in EVERY article their age gap is mentioned. (The UK tabloids have a bizarre obsession with age. Every time you see a story on anyone, there's a mention of their age as if its ALWAYS relevant to the story).  I think they just emphasise the nationality thing in the way they emphasise the age difference as a way of accentuating their angle on the whole thing, which is basically along the lines of either 'how the fuck can THIS possibly work?' or 'Apart from her youth/his money what is the attraction?'

OK, this may be a stupid question, but why do you guys think the fact that Ronnie is behaving like an idiot could have anything to do with the Stones' future as a band?

I mean, I can see how his alcoholism could affect the band, but what about being stupid enough to hit a woman? How does this relate to the Rolling Stones exactly? I mean, obviously it's ridiculous, but I don't see the link with RS.

Unless its something which could affect possible tour sponsorship, I dont see it as an issue.

As the Stones are inactive, his current state isnt affecting his ability to play either.

I would imagine though that as has often been the case in recent years, he would be getting the 'sort yourself out or else' pre-tour ultimatum any day now....
