Mick Gagger

Published: Today

Comedy script ... Sir Mick Jagger

SIR MICK JAGGER is chasing the country's finest comedy talent to star in a film he has been writing for the past 15 years.

The ROLLING STONES legend penned a script with the help of old pal DAVID BOWIE about a couple of hellraising rock'n'roll managers set in the mid-Sixties.

It's based on people like ANDREW LOOG OLDHAM, who managed Mick and fellow Stones KEITH RICHARDS, RONNIE WOOD and CHARLIE WATTS in their heyday.

After watching old chart rivals SIR PAUL McCARTNEY and GEORGE MICHAEL send themselves up for Comic Relief, he thought it was finally time to get his Ha Ha's out.

A source said: "Mick has had the script in the bag for years. He has gone back to it again recently and feels now is the time to get it out there.

"Mick has a few famous comedians in mind to star and is starting to sound them out.

"The script is full of stuff from back in the day, which Mick and the band witnessed first hand or heard about on their travels.

"He's well up for a cameo role, to show he's not the serious businessman a lot of people think he is all the time."

The wrinkly rocker is currently in LA putting the finishing touches to a new project with former EURYTHMICS star DAVE STEWART.

Pals reckon the album, out at the end of the summer, is a big two fingers up to Keef after the guitarist made jibes about Mick's manhood in his autobiography.

Mick is planning to release the film project under his own production company Jagged Films, which he set up in 1995.

It won't be his first either - he's produced a string of movies, such as World War II drama Enigma, and acted in others including Ned Kelly.

The source added: "Mick has been watching how people like SIR ELTON JOHN, Macca and RINGO STARR have been willing to send themselves up.

"He's done a lot of comedy appearances on television in the United States and it always goes down well.

"Sometimes he gets frustrated over not getting asked to do more skits in the UK, so he's taking the bull by the horns."

I reckon he should put himself up for a SMITHY sketch for Sport Relief with JAMES CORDEN.

Even better if they throw in a few gags about his little fella.

The Sun

Consider the (unnamed) sources and take it fwiw, seems that the Mick/Dave Stewart "project" will be surfacing in 2011...

Wrinkly rocker, little fella, 2 fingers up @ Keith...it has all the lovely touches of tabloid. If just the movie part is true I say go for it, Mick. Then when you finish, get back to where you once belonged and sing the blues, dear. We be waitin' on that.

Oh no...not another movie!

Wonder is the source for the Dave Stewart sessions is any different thant the previous one, i.e. Mick's brother? The "out by the end of the summer" is certainly new...and possibly fabricated.

Now why did Charlie say he was at Mick's recording some tracks last year when the vocal for Watching the River Flow was done? A Mick solo album with Charlie on drums? Now that would be something and the final proof that Keith is no longer a functioning musician, let alone creative force.

04.11.11 NEWS: DB HAS ONE WORD FOR BOWIE JAGGER FILM SCRIPT

Laugh at the notion...

This story first broke on Saturday courtesy of The Sun newspaper in the UK. I was hoping it would just flap around in the dirt a bit and die. But, alas and alak, in the absence of any official denial of the tale, it's been picked up and is currently flying around the globe as if it were gospel.

Well here comes that official comment, straight from the equine north 'n south...yes, that would be David Bowie and he summed up the notion that he is, or has been, working with Mick Jagger on a film script for an upcoming comedy with this well-chosen word: "Piffle".

That should do it.

BEATLES, STONES AND SEX PISTOLS TO FORM OLYMPIC SUPERGROUP?

Monday April 25,2011

The stars the BEATLES, ROLLING STONES and SEX PISTOLS have been tipped to come together to form a spectacular supergroup for the launch of the London Olympics.

Organisers of the upcoming 2012 games are currently working out plans for the opening ceremony, which will be directed by Oscar winner Danny Boyle.

Gold medal-winning rower Sir Steve Redgrave has now revealed he is hoping to see Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr team up with with Sir Mick Jagger and John Lydon to put on a powerful display of British music talent to open the festivities.

He tells The People newspaper, "The London Games gives us a chance to celebrate our own history... We have to show the world what we are good at. If Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo came together with great bands like the Rolling Stones and the Sex Pistols it would be fantastic. They are a huge part of our history. It would kick off the party and put us centre of the world's attention."
