Interesting combo!

Very fascinated by the Packer/Carey thing. Must be love. Murdoch is definite Mr Burns territory but hey, he is minted and powerful.

Bettercallsaul1 · 03/11/2015 10:12

Grin at Mr Burns - very apt!

AnonymousBird · 03/11/2015 10:43

Packer ain't handsome, but it doesn't seem quite so contrived and, frankly, revolting, as JH being a whore with that shrivelled old man. And yes, she is very open about her "practices" for keeping Mick interested for as long as she could... perhaps she is hoping to shovel RM into an early grave with all the excitement and get all the dosh!

Sorry, re=read that - being a "whore" being the use of her own words about herself. Not my judgement on her.

they may not be shagging, h
just going out on date? that was a pretty chaste kiss.

For those curious about Mariah Carey and James Packer, this recent blind item says she likes being with someone richer than her, and he likes the attention.

Maybe Rupert Murdoch is past wanting sex and just wants an attractive companion. Maybe Jerry's funds are running low.

Personally I'd rather lick an elephant's rectum than even shake than man's hand.

squoosh · 03/11/2015 11:21

Hard to tell if she's laughing or wailing at that grandfatherly peck.

JH looks good, I'll give her that much!

TB is definitely still in the game, although whether with WD I don't know. Had the most bizarre conversation with a woman last year who got to know him on a work trip overseas. . and then realised who he was and was completely horrified. Her work colleagues all knew exactly who he was but didn't tell her for a couple of days. .
As to Jerry - bless her, whatever her reasons I can't help thinking she can date whoever she wants after putting up with mick's antics for all those years. I'd still rather peel off my face than talk to RM

ImperialBlether · 03/11/2015 12:17

How on earth did someone not know who TB was?

squoosh · 03/11/2015 12:19

He has aged a lot recently, that's the only thing I can think of. But even still!

anothernamechange1 · 03/11/2015 16:23

she is very open about her "practices" for keeping Mick interested for as long as she could...

hardly, he was a serial adulterer

i do remember reading something years ago about how her Richmond house was in some disrepair especially the roof as Mick didnt pay enough

have no idea if its true but have always been facinated in the couple

MitzyLeFrouf · 03/11/2015 16:26

Mick Jagger is a tight a duck's arse I believe. Wasn't their wedding a beach wedding somewhere that wasn't recognised as being legal in the UK? Cheap separation for him!

Moanranger · 03/11/2015 16:41

But he's doddery! I remember him speaking to the Parliamentary committee about phone hacking a couple of years ago & he was "Ayah - what" Hand to ear, looking around blankly. Ready for the old folks home. I do believe Jerry has a bit more going for her.

MitzyLeFrouf · 03/11/2015 16:43

I think a lot of that committee dodderiness was sudden onset for that day only.

DrasticAction · 03/11/2015 16:44

call so you have seen murdoch up close too

i find it rather offensive actually to suggest she is only with him for the ££££ she is and always has been a high earning model in her own right, she married mick, and moves in the highest and richest social circles.

ie not scrabbling round x x factor singer wanting to grab nto someones coat tails.

Floisme · 03/11/2015 18:24

Rupert Murdoch appears to have a somewhat complicated relationship with the truth. If I was Jerry Hall, this is what would trouble me the most - well that and the thought of pyjama parties with Rebekah and Samantha.

However if Jerry really is claiming to be the same age as me, then maybe they're a better match than I thought.

A cynic might suggest he was playing on his age to avoid difficult question...

Absolutely.

lborgia · 04/11/2015 02:56

Missed your questionimperial, because I was in bed asleep because I'm in a different time zone. . As was woman in question Smile she travels into the city from areally rural area for the job in question and was extremely naive about alot of things. .Not the two necessarily go together. . Including the fact that someone wanted her to join his entourage whilst he was speaking in this country Grin it made fabulous listening to me but she was aghast at both the proposition and who it turned out was making it. It had only been a day before I met her and she was frankly in shock. Anyway, you've probably gone away now.

Abidewithme3 · 04/11/2015 06:37

You old meanie cynics!

Maybe it's love. Wink

Floisme · 04/11/2015 07:13

Actually, whatever else I may think of him, I imagine Rupert Murdoch is good company. If I had to choose (and we're talking gunpoint) between a night out with him or his son, I'd take Rupert every time.

SurferJet · 04/11/2015 07:20

Mega rich people are capable of falling in love & being happy.
Good luck to them both.
& I'm sure with their fame & wealth they could have partners half their age - they're not doing that.
( & I'm guessing RM is pretty interesting )

megletthesecond · 04/11/2015 07:33

It must be some mutually beneficial publicity stunt / deal. I would have thought Jerry would have more class than RM.
