as to the identity of Liz Jones mystery rock star lover? Apologies if I am repeating a thread but just read today's 'wingefest' and can't believe its anything other than a work of fiction.

Mine too !!!!!

kittya · 15/12/2010 22:23

HoJo was my original guess but, where would he have got all his money from? This bloke she goes on about seems to be minted.

SpringHeeledJack · 16/12/2010 15:44

nah. He was a bit of an arse, iirc, but not barmy, and, let's face it, you'd have to be a wee bit bonkers to woo Liz

(no offence, Liz)

...maybe that (?baldy) bloke with the chains and stuff that used to dance with HoJo?

rshunter · 18/12/2010 19:21

one more sleep to diarytime !!!!!!

ricketyrock · 19/12/2010 10:41

No new info really. He is / was a drinker / sober - hardy surprising for a 'rockstar'. (does that make him turning up at her house a booty call)

He has tanned for forearms and wears 'palestinian' scarf.

His friends think she is high maintenance - I would challenge anyone to not find her so.

If this is real and he does exist and she is going to have a functional relationship, there really is hope for us all.

kittya · 19/12/2010 11:50

HoJo wore those scarves, as did Nick Kershaw!

LeChatRouge · 19/12/2010 12:16

Ooh - can I join in?

Remeber the bit about how RS isn't so well known in Paris and so they can sit in the courtyard - my question is - is HoJo well known enough over here to have to avoid public places?

Agree with Kittya - how would he be that rich?

Does HoJo have giant children?

Nik Kershaw is married with two young children.

kittya · 19/12/2010 12:19

It must be someone who has invested wisely.

GreenButton · 19/12/2010 14:18

I seem to remember that Kevin Rowland (Dexy's) worked the Palestinian scarf look at one point - but I've got a feeling that he's skint - so he's ruled out!

kittya · 19/12/2010 14:22

anyone who is on tour with their old band is definitely skint so, we can rule them out!

Kitsichick · 19/12/2010 16:05

Howard Jones lives in Kreach St Michael, near Taunton so about 20 miles from Liz.
I think it's him!!! He also does Yoga and chanting!

kittya · 19/12/2010 16:10

He was the first person I thought of ages ago but, its the money thing that gets me. I know they made more money in the 80's than they do today but, the RS she talks about sounds like he is worth millions! thats whats throwing me.

Yes, I still think there is a chance its him and I would like to know who his accountant is!!

PrincessRollo · 20/12/2010 13:36

She's not going to be completely truthful about him in the diary is she - probably just to throw people off the scent.

I think it is deffo Howard Jones. He is weird enough for Liz, right age (tick) skinny (tick) leggings (tick) scarf thing...(tick) yep, it just feels right LOL.

Now.

What else can I obsess about that is totally unimportant and has absolutely nothing to do with me or my life?

HelloOutThere · 21/12/2010 09:47

If it is him and I agree it sounds like it, she really should be Blush of herself for referring to him as a "Rock Star" Hmm total misuse of the words!!

bupcakesandcunting · 21/12/2010 10:41

I thought it was Jim Kerr? I thought everyone knew it was him?

rshunter · 22/12/2010 01:46

That's Liz put that last message in i bet???????????????

HollyBollyBooBoo · 22/12/2010 02:13

Read on other forums that it is Jim Kerr....?

notjustapotforsoup · 22/12/2010 02:24

HJ lived in Dublin in the 80s to take advantage of the tax breaks for musicians, so was obviously earning enough to make it worthwhile.

Poor him, whoever it is.

HollyBollyBooBoo · 22/12/2010 02:28

The woman is as mad as a bag of frogs, there's a clip of her on YouTube promoting her last book and she goes off into a mad rant, starts talking about 'cleansing, toning and moisturising...and I always do it in that order, cleanse, tone then moisturise'...well yeah how the heck else would you do it???

Think she lives in her own little world, notice how the house for sale is so NOT on the moor as she repeatedly claims it is, so taking the whole 'Rock Star' description with a massive pinch of salt.

kickassangel · 22/12/2010 03:13

she thinks women don't realise that all the crap about cleanse/tone/moisturise is just marketing and not cos you have to?
she had to move to exmoor to find out what everyone else knows?

and her husband found someone dimmer than her!

bupcakesandcunting · 22/12/2010 12:22

I reckon this Rock Star nonsense is all a ruse to make Nirpal jealous, seeing as he is off swanning round the globe bedding a host of beauties Hmm

Like anyone gives a fuck who these two nobodies are poking, anyway.

messydrawers · 23/12/2010 22:18

OK, I've been following this thread with interest and DH (who is NEVER wrong on internet gossip) insists that the identity of the "rock star" lover is none other than...

Dan Hipgrave from Toploader!

Can this be true?

kittya · 23/12/2010 23:01

that one hit wonder? I saw hip play to about twenty people last month

Incognitoforareason · 23/12/2010 23:04

I thought it was Jim Kerr

sharbie · 23/12/2010 23:06
