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.

have just googled "jim kerr and Liz Jones" and this came up. There's another reference by her to him in another of her columns. She fancies him at any rate. So she has either a)made it up or b)he read it and thought 'in for a penny...' and decided to try his luck.

Got to be him, she did drop her knix superfast for one so frigid.

God, she's a dull writer, isn't she?
Has anyone said Terence Trent D'Arby? sits astride a chair v nicely as I recall from fevered teenage moments

Vulgar · 17/08/2010 20:07

Surely no self respecting aging rock star would have to settle for a miserable old trout like her.

ValiumSingleton · 17/08/2010 20:11

Well I'm going to go against the grain and say good for her. I don't think he's exactly young and handsome by any stetch.

These old rockers you all think are sad old gits, to me they are gods! (Lovely Peter Gabriel :) )

It wouldn't be a Bee Gee, they are from the Isle of Man and bloody tough.

Sits backwards on chairs...carries guitar round...
It's got to be the British Bret Michaels...but I don't know who that is

Oooh how about - Dave Stewart?!! I saw an interview once where he insisted on carrying his guitar round, and when the journo asked him to play something he made a massive fuss and then played Twinkle Twinkle or something, he obviously couldn't play for toffee. Also, do you remember in the 90s where he was having treatment for "perfection syndrome", i.e. his life was so perfect that he had to have counselling? Perfect match for LJ "every silver legging has a cloud" or what?!

The only other person (although he is old) is...

Paul McCartney.

I mean, that man has form.

miracled · 18/08/2010 15:11

Would have to be vegetarian cheese though and he has that Nancy woman in tow. I did google Jim Kerr's hotel, in the room pics 'Simple Minds' are on all the TV screens, classy. I am definitely leaning towards Jim.

ooooh yes Dave Stewart!

perfect!

[claps hands delightedly]

miracled · 18/08/2010 16:07

He remarried and lives in LA though..

No no no to Jim Kerr he's a Glaswegian for Gods sake.
Patsy was just a male fantasy and well Chrissie is just cool!

AllarmBells · 18/08/2010 22:26

aargh miracled you are right! Back to the drawing board...
So we have

  1. Jim Kerr
  2. Rick Wakeman
  3. Dave Gilmour?

Sorry, no offence to LJ but I think Macca can do a bit better.

UnquietDad I'm seeing what you meant with Marilyn Manson, it's the hair they have in common. He just split up from his gf...

How about Andrew Stone from Pineapple Dance Studios?!!! Oh wait, sorry, he's 29 Hmm

AllarmBells · 18/08/2010 22:27

aargh giggly x-post! Jim Kerr is the best option we have!!!!

Snorbs · 18/08/2010 23:41

How about Tony James from Sigue Sigue Sputnik?

I hope it's not Jim Kerr, though. I was a bit of a Simple Minds fan back in the 80s Blush

miracled · 19/08/2010 13:01

Hey Snorbs, I'm from your neck of the woods. I'm hoping it's not Jim Kerr too, but the odds don't look great. I'd love it to be Rick Wakeman though.

oneofsuesylvesterscheerios · 19/08/2010 14:15

god someone, somewhere must know who it is. I need to find out before I go on holiday on Saturday. Surely popbitch or somesuch must know??

JaxTellersOldLady · 19/08/2010 16:08

I have asked around and nobody seems to know who it is. Havent given up yet, am going to txt a friend to get her to ask a journo she knows rather well.

miracled · 19/08/2010 16:43

The absence of any mention of this anywhere in the tabs or net makes me even more certain she has made it up....cow!

OP posts:
sharbie · 19/08/2010 21:14

i bet she has made it up Grin

Vulgar · 20/08/2010 12:10

I'd HATE it to be Rick Wakeman. He may be a bit of a prat but he's got too much humour for her.

David Gilmour is/was in a relationship with the writer Polly Samson, i think . . .

Dave Stewart -yes, I can see them both together, both suitably self obsessed.

poshwellies · 20/08/2010 16:38

said rock star owns a hotel in the south of france.

Get googling ladies!

poshwellies · 20/08/2010 16:47

HMMMM!

grumpypants · 20/08/2010 16:51

Allarmbells I have a secret crush on Brett Michaels Blush and tried to convince dh to let me go on that programme to marry him...

Pancakeflipper · 20/08/2010 16:56

Jim Kerr has a hotel.... Dunno where though but not in the UK.

Is Nick Kershaw in the running? Does she like the shorter man?

TheCrackFox · 20/08/2010 17:03

Much as I find Liz Jones annoying I hope she finds the happiness she is after.
