Is anyone else at all curious

[miracled]

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.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo not jk

yes duran duran the one who steals tarmac maybe?

nick rhodes

we only have that posters word that shes a journalist.

None of Duran Duran are Scottish. If shes making such a thing about his accent then that bit is probably true.

Did anyone google JK and his Japanese gf?

"While Kerr?s two children are based in London, his Japanese girlfriend Yumie lives in France. ?We have an understanding and we?re both very independent people so it just works,? he says. ?It?s my longest relationship and, believe me, I have more Air Miles than I know what to do with. If I ever stopped travelling I think I?d miss the Air Miles most."

From the Times last May

OK, so, according to the Diary, the 'Rock Star'...

lives in Somerset (implied)...
is skinny...
owns an hotel in the south of France (EasyJet flies to a nearby airport)...
which has a vinyard...
has a farm somewhere else (the UK - implied)...
is learning to make cheese...
has a labrador...
is 47 or 48...
has children...
was active as a musician during the 80s.

According to the book he...

has blue eyes...
was interviewed by LJ in the 80's...
went into rehab in the early 90's...
has been married at least three times.

This is, of course, assuming he actually exists.

He also drives a clapped out classic old Mercedes. It was implied that he was a guitarist in an illustration for one of the first columns he was mentioned in. Not sure whether that means anything.

The hotel moves between Italy and France from column to column.

so, she already wrote about him in her book? that means she's known him for years.

I dont think she is making it up at all. He is loaded though so we have to think of someone who was really massive and invested well. Someone whos tracks are still used today. Someone with a recording studio perhaps?

Peter Gabriel has a studio but he's not scottish and is entirely bald. Do you think she knows people suspect its JK and the comment about accents are a red herring

Of course she knows!! she's probably on here 24/7!! I wouldnt be surprised if she actually post on here as well.

I'm so loving this thread-have been some brilliant posts-so funny. I read LJ obsessively each week (and I do like her) this thread just adds to my obsession. Wanted to post to say to everyone to keep going :)

I clearly have too much time on my hands but if we assume that the 'seminal' performance' is Live Aid, here are the suspects:

Queen - Roger Taylor?
Status Quo ? Doubtful
The Style Council ? PW would not be able to stand her rampant consumerist lifestyle.
The Boomtown Rats ? Geldof still with French actress
Adam Ant ? Friend of friend, he's skint and not well
Ultravox ? ?????
Spandau Ballet ? Which one???
Elvis Costello ? Not while there are dogs in the street!
Nik Kershaw ? Not exactly a rock star but possible?
Sting and Phil Collins ???
Howard Jones ? See Nik Kershaw
Bryan Ferry - Geordie so may say 'wee' has accent and blue eyes
Paul Young ? recently reunited with (only) wife
U2 ? I'll slit my wrists if its any of them
Dire Straits ? The mind boggles
David Bowie - She wishes!
The Who - Townshend?
Elton John (with George Michael and backing vocals by Andrew Ridgeley)- Ridgeley is with one of Bananarama
Paul McCartney - with that Nancy woman

Thats just wembley, JK played the US

That's hysterical!!! I think the jury is still out on kershaw and jones but, they aren't scottish are they? Are you sure big country weren't on it? Ha! Maybe she's talking about Red Wedge!! Billy Bragg? Weller has loads of kids but I think she's over his age range

Ian McCulloch? Do scousers say wee?

Still reckon it's JK - she said recently that the RS was someone that she had had an enormous crush on, & has admitted to fancying him in the past. I am also slightly suspicious as to the identity of eyebrowqueen......

Me too

Now you come to mention it pantherrose didn't LJ have eyebrows tattooed recently ?

god knows but they have an even more unhealthy obsession with her on the digital spy forum!! talking about viewing her house and everything!!

Surely someone somewhere has seen her with him?

Someone linked to her house on here somewhere it is decidedly not a slum

she has good taste, its gorgeous

I couldn't find the link I was going to put. There is a separate self-contained barn conversion annexe that is lovely too.

I wonder if eyebrowqueen could confirm/deny the digital spy rumour that LS next book is "LJ: The Mumsnet Years".

She'd have some seriously good material as a result of the research skills and writing ability of Mumsnetters!

I remember that LJ said the RS's wives had warned him off her because they felt her column seriously infringed his privacy (and by association their privacy)so- is the RS actually very old, enormously overweight, bald, poor,teetotal .....now it all makes sense (back with Gary Glitter?)

thats what I dont understand. It is an infringement of privacy. Especially if his ex's are high profile.

In JK's case. More famous than him.

Exactly, whatkungfuthat, and she has always been kind of retentive about her eyebrows!! Of course & were I to enjoy throwing in the odd grenade just for fun, are we sure that we have the right JK............!!

Yes
