"My relationship rule is never argue over a glass of wine; leave debating until the morning.” Most read in TV & Radio Rod Stewart, horoscope for birth date 10 January 1945, born in Highgate, with Astrodatabank biography - Astro-Databank photo: Helge Øverås, license gfdl Biography British musician born to Scottish parents living in London. For his 14th birthday, they gave him a guitar, little knowing that his life was shaped from that moment. As a youth he bummed around Europe and around home in London as a hippie. He joined an R'n'B band as a vocalist and harmonica player in 1963, playing gigs throughout England. After playing in a backup band he signed with Decca as a solo singer. His debut single failed to make the charts.

On 8/06/1964 he made a TV debut on "The Beat Boom" with the "Hoochie Goochie Men." Going through several other bands, he released another solo single in November 1965, also appearing in a TV documentary, "Rod the Mod." The bands kept shifting and the faces changing over the next few years as Stewart accumulated credits and experience. In 1970 his "Gasoline Alley" began climbing up the charts, and he started a 28-date U.S. tour on 1 October 70. Through the '70s his name became increasingly familiar along with his gravel voice, lawn-mower haircut and lean shape, until he was uncontestably a rock superstar by 1976. In 1975 he set up permanent residency in the U.S., conveniently sidestepping a million-dollar tax bill in the UK. "The Best of Rod Stewart" made No. 90 in the U.S. charts in May 1976. "A Night on the Town," released 10 July 1976, made No.1 in the UK and No.2 in the U.S.

In November 1977 he made another major tour, and in December 1979, his "Rod Stewart's Greatest Hits" topped the UK chart for a solid five weeks along with U.S. releases consistently soaring up the charts. Noted for packing stages and making sold-out world wide tours, Stewart also became known for romancing some of the world's most beautiful women. On 5 March 1975 he met actress Britt Ekland in Hollywood and began a highly publicized romance. In 1978 he met Alana Hamilton; they married on 6 April 1979 and had two kids, Kimberly in 1979 and Sean in 1980. They divorced in 1983. In May 1989 she applied for an increase in alimony. On 26 April 1982, he was mugged in Los Angeles while standing next to his car. In an unfortunate display of rock-concert mania, 450 fans were injured trying to rush the stage at a concert in Monterey, CA on 8 April 1989.

On 3 June 1989 he cancelled a gig because of voice problems, but resumed his schedule a few weeks later. He made a habit of selectively canceling engagements whenever he had a bad throat. A soccer fan, his habit of kicking soccer balls into the audience rebounded several times. On 1/16/1990, a fan brought a lawsuit, saying that he fractured a kneecap at a concert on 22 April 1989 due to being run over by fans catching a ball, and on 13 November 1990, another fan filed a suit for rupturing a tendon in her finger for the same cause at a concert on 22 June 1990: she was awarded a $17,000 settlement. His dad died in September 1990. In 1990, Stewart broke up with Kelly Emberg, his girl friend of the past five years and the mother of their three-year old daughter, Ruby, On 15 February 1990, she filed a $25 million palimony suit in Los Angeles. He soon found another gorgeous partner, New Zealand model Rachel Hunter, 21.

They married on 15 December 1990, Beverly Hills, CA and renewed their vows in London in 1995. They have four children starting with daughter Renee on 2 June 1992, London. They separated on 7 January 1999, claiming that Rachel needed to "find herself." In 1991 Stewart was performing to sell-out crowds of 50,000, breaking house records and bringing in box-offices of over one-and-a-half million. On 12 May 2000, after finishing his album, "Human," Stewart had surgery on his thyroid after doctors discovered a nodule. He went home with a clean bill of health. The singer's wife, Rachel Hunter, filed for divorce in Los Angeles on 16 June 2003 in Los Angeles but later withdrew the request. The couple split in 1999. On June 2, 2005, the musician filed for divorce from Hunter. Stewart is engaged to be married to 34-year-old model Penny Lancaster.

The day before he filed for divorce, the rocker and his fiancée announced that they were expecting a baby in early December. That child, a boy, arrived on 27 November 2005 ("early in the morning") according to news reports in London. The singer married Penelope Lancaster on 16 June 2007 at 10 AM in Santa Margherita, Liguria, Italy. Stewart was estimated to have a fortune of £115 million in the Sunday Times Rich List of 2011, making him one of the 20 wealthiest people in the British music industry.

Source Notes Dana Haynes quotes his wife, Kimberly Stewart, data from him as "just after the pubs closed." Debbi Kempton-Smith quoted him for 1:17 AM, rectified by a close friend of his. Sy Scholfield has provided Astrodatabank with a copy of the birth certificate which states that Roderick David Stewart was born on 10 January 1945 at Highgate. In Astrological Journal March 2015, Frank Clifford reports from page 5 of RS's autobiography, that he was born in the evening of 10 January 1945. If one combines this with the presumed pub closing time of 21:30 at the period, this results in a birth time aroiund 21:45. Starkman rectified to 01.17.20 BST Categories Not-So-Hot Rod Not-So-Hot Rod Email Not long before Christmas, Rod Stewart was in his usual corner in the Theydon Oak, a pub near his home in Epping, outside of London.

But the normally easygoing British rocker, who’s not averse to enjoying a pint with the lads, seemed lonely enough to sing the blues. “He looked pretty unhappy,” says James Lange, 23, a local resident who frequents the pub. Says another patron: “I got the impression he was on his own in the mansion. That must have been pretty depressing.” By last week, Stewart was hunkered down in a second estate, this one in Beverly Hills, but his winter remained bleak. On Jan. 7 the 54-year-old rock star and his second wife, New Zealand-born model Rachel Hunter, 29, announced that they were separating after eight years. Stewart, denying to the British press that the marriage had unraveled because of any infidelity, said it was Hunter’s decision to move out and “find herself” as a person. “I was so sure she was the woman I was going to spend the rest of my life with,” he added. “I hope and pray with all my heart that she will eventually come back.” He may have reason to believe she will.

Hunter and their two children—Renee, 6, and Liam, 4—are staying near Stewart in L.A., and the couple meet daily to discuss their differences, which surfaced before the holidays. Celebrating their eighth wedding anniversary Dec. 15 in a London restaurant, says one witness, the two seemed “very cheerful.” But by the time they left, to the scrutiny of waiting paparazzi, they were publicly rowing. And the next evening, Hunter caught Stewart flirting with her friend Andrea Trevor at the Dorchester Hotel, where the couple were staying. Stewart’s brother Don, 68, a retired accountant, had noticed Hunter’s absence from Rod’s recent U.K. concerts. “I only saw her once out of 12 shows,” he says. Stewart’s ex-fiancée Dee Harrington is not surprised. “Rachel,” says Harrington, who was engaged to Stewart between 1971 and ’75, “got bored with Rod,” whom Harrington characterizes as a perennial “lad” with a penchant for drinking with his mates and pursuing women.

These have included Swedish actress Britt Ekland, now 56, who ended up suing him for $15 million in palimony in 1978 (her case was dismissed); first wife Alana Stewart, 53, with whom he had Kimberly, 19, and Sean, 18, before their ’84 divorce; and Kelly Emberg, 39, who gave birth to their daughter, Ruby, now 11, before they split in 1990 after seven years. “He’s always liked ladies,” says model-turned-music executive Harrington, “and they always liked him.” Then there are Stewart’s other hobbies. Recalling their relationship, Harrington says he loved to “hang out with his football mates and watch football and play with his train set.” Even now, Stewart keeps a professional-quality soccer field on his Epping property and amuses himself in L.A. with an extravagant 100-foot-track train set comprising computer-programmed locomotives. Of course his tastes have often been more refined than that.

Stewart, worth an estimated $100 million, can easily plunk down $7 million for an oceanfront mansion in Palm Beach, Fla., as the couple did in 1995. There they were regarded as “a nice contribution to the community,” says real estate broker Rusty Gulden. “Not like the Rolling Stones.” But apparently too much like the Stones to suit Hunter, at least in terms of Stewart’s advancing years and the couple’s 25-year age difference. “No matter how rich or generous he is, his references are still all her parents’ references,” says rock expert Ray Connolly. “Now she’s grown-up and looking around, and he’s this middle-aged man who’s had his fun. And she thinks, ‘Maybe I’ve missed out.’ ” Hunter, in fact, has been playing career catchup, taking acting classes, signing with a talent agent and even landing a leading film role. “Rod was supportive,” says David Glasser, who produced Two Shades of Blue, an as-yet-unreleased thriller the novice actress shot last summer with Eric Roberts. “He seemed proud.” And Hunter seems optimistic—maybe. “We’re just working things through,” she told London’s Daily Mail last week.

Men's magazine bosses have pursued rocker the New Zealand-born model, most recently seen in the Fountains of Wayne video for the song "Stacy's Mom," since she was 17. She initially refused because she was too young and then again because her ex, singer Rod Stewart , didn't want her to strip.

But, after shedding 14 pounds through an intensive workout regime, the 35-year-old feels ready to bare all -- and boost her bank balance at the same time. According to sources, the snaps were taken at a top secret, exotic location earlier this week and will appear in Playboy's music edition later this year. A friend reveals, "She will be going topless but refuses to be completely nude. "The pictures will be as tasteful as possible. She's really comfortable showing her body." KELLY OSBOURNE ENGAGED? Teen singer Kelly Osbourne has sparked speculation she's engaged to her rocker boyfriend of six months, Rob Aston , after they were spotted browsing for rings. Osbourne, 19, and the frontman for punk band the Transplants recently visited XIV Karats in Beverly Hills, Calif., to look at a range of finger jewelery. A source says, "She was right by his side ... He knew exactly what he wanted." According to US Weekly, the two agreed on a simple silver setting with a three-carat diamond solitaire, which Osbourne tried on but loudly announced wasn't for her. Two days later, Aston returned to buy the ring.

PINK WARNED TO WATCH HER BEHAVIOR BY PEPSI Pop punk Pink has been warned about her future behavior after signing a lucrative sponsorship deal with soft drinks giant Pepsi. The star is noted for her uncompromising behavior -- which has included a penchant for tattoos and piercings, a public kiss with "Terminator 3" actress Kristanna Loken and a new relationship with rock bad boy Tommy Lee . However, now Pink -- real name Alicia Moore -- has landed her deal with Pepsi, the company has reportedly told her she must set a good example for their young customers. A source tells Scottish newspaper the Daily Record , "Her huge popularity with the kids meant all that was overlooked. "But Pink has been told to be mindful of how she is seen in the public eye. Pepsi do not want another Tommy Lee [sex] video hitting the headlines or her getting a ring through her nose. "That would mean every parent freaking out that their kid would follow suit." DIDDY & J.LO IN ANOTHER SCANDAL Sean " P. Diddy " Combs and Jennifer Lopez are caught up in yet another legal altercation after a reveller claimed one of their bodyguards threw a camera at her.

The former couple, who were both spotted at the Opium Garden in Miami, Fla., in the small hours of Monday morning, are mentioned in a police report filed by an angry partygoer. Jacqueline Thomas Bishop claims bodyguard Nathan But asked if she had taken pictures of J.Lo and then snatched her camera from her. The burly minder then threw the camera back at the reveler after removing the memory card. Aides for Lopez and P. Diddy insist the bodyguard doesn't work for either one of them. The pair were caught up in a scandal back in 2001 after they fled a New York nightclub in the aftermath of a shooting incident. AFFLECK'S KID BROTHER GETS ENGAGED Ben Affleck 's little bother Casey is set to beat him to the altar, after proposing to his girlfriend Summer Phoenix. Casey, 28, proposed to 25-year-old Summer in New York over the Christmas holidays with a platinum and diamond ring of his own design. They have yet to set a wedding date. The engagement comes as an extra dose of good news for the pair, who are expecting their first child in May.

Summer, younger sister of actors Joaquin and the late River, plans to give birth in Europe, where her fiance will be filming "Ocean's 12" alongside Brad Pitt and George Clooney . CLOONEY FURIOUS WITH FALSE PREGNANCY REPORTS Hollywood hunk George Clooney is furious after learning a stage director has been spreading false reports that he and girlfriend Krista Allen are expecting their first child together. For several days, a story has been circulating in Tinseltown that Clooney, 42, announced to friends on New Year's Eve at his California home that his 31-year-old belle is pregnant. But Clooney insists nothing could be further from the truth, telling US Weekly, "She is not pregnant and she never was pregnant. "Krista has a 6-year-old in school. I don't want kids saying, 'Oh, you're having a brother or sister,' if it's not true. "Happy, yes. Pregnant, no." Brunette beauty Allen made waves six weeks ago when she dropped out of Los Angeles-based play "Orgasms," directed by Dan Israely , who then reportedly helped spread the pregnancy rumor to the press.

Clooney adds, "He's mad at her for dropping out. Let's just say I'm going to have a talk with him about it." TORN ARRESTED FOR DRUNK DRIVING Actor Rip Torn has been charged with drunk driving after he crashed into the rear of a New York taxicab in the early hours of Tuesday morning. According to a police report posted on the Smoking Gun Web site, the 72-year-old veteran star was "incoherent" when approached by a police officer following the 12:40 a.m. crash in Greenwich Village, and was found to have "watery and bloodshot eyes, had slurred speech, had the odor of alcohol on his breath, was unsteady on his feet and had a flushed face." Torn -- real name Elmore Rual Torn -- also reportedly answered the officer's questions by repeatedly saying, "What. Huh." He will now have to appear before Manhattan Criminal Court on March 18.

JUDE: 'DIVORCE LEFT ME BATTERED AND BRUISED' Actor Jude Law was left "battered and bruised" by his divorce from ex-wife Sadie Frost , but insists he's "happier and stronger" now they are apart. Law has spoken out about the split, which was made formal last October, after a five-month pact to keep quiet for the sake of the couple's three children -- Rafferty, 7, Iris, 3, and 1-year-old Rudy. The British star, 31, tells British breakfast TV show "GMTV," "It changes your life when you enter into a marriage and it can change it as much when you're part of a break-up. "I feel stronger emotionally and happier in myself, if not a little battered and bruised." Despite the tumultuous end to his and 35-year-old Sadie's six-year marriage, Jude insists he is still in regular contact with his kids and is determined to be a good dad. The star -- who is now dating actress Sienna Miller -- adds, "It was as hard for us to tell our children as it has been for any couple. Just how do you explain that to a child?

"All you can do is hope something positive comes from it in the end." KATE MOSS ' KINKY PARTY Sexy supermodel Kate Moss is holding a star-studded 30th birthday party, themed on F. Scott Fitzgerald novel "The Beautiful and Damned." Moss, who turns 30 Friday, has just returned from a sun-seeking winter break to Jamaica with pal Sadie Frost to top up her tan for the bash -- which is being held in the North London homes of artist Sam Taylor-Wood and Agent Provocateur lingerie owner Serena Rees . An lucky guest reveals, "It's going to be a brilliant night. Everyone will be in fancy dress and it's an A-list affair. "'The Beautiful and Damned' is all about wild parties, threesomes, orgies, drugs, alcohol and mental breakdowns so it should be a very interesting night. "Each room will have a different theme based on the book, and there is a door which links both houses so everyone can flit between the two to see what's going on." BRITNEY SLAMS REHAB RUMORS Pop princess Britney Spears has blasted reports she is in rehab being treated for alcohol abuse.

A British newspaper this week claimed the release of the singer's new album had been postponed so Britney could seek counseling for her alcohol consumption. But a spokesperson for Britney -- who earlier this month married childhood pal Jason Alexander -- insists the rumors are totally false. Her publicist Nicole King says, "I don't know where the information came from. "Britney has not entered rehab and it simply isn't true. It's a load of rubbish." BLACKWELL'S LIST SPARKS KEATON'S FASHION CHANGE Hollywood actress Diane Keaton has decided to ditch her gloves for a day, after making fashion critic Mr. Blackwell's worst dressed list this year. The star is rarely seen out in public without her hands covered, and the familiar fashion statement has led to her making the annual list of dishonor alongside such celebrities as Paris Hilton, Courtney Love and Lara Flynn Boyle. Keaton told presenters on "The View" Wednesday morning, "I took my gloves off today because I made the worst dressed list and I realized that maybe I better tone it down a little.

"There was an instinct in me also to say, 'Screw you,' so I wore a hat instead!" KYLIE: 'IT'S ALL LIES' Kylie Minogue has denied reports she's engaged to French actor Olivier Martinez and is pregnant with his child. Rumors started to circulate after Martinez traveled to Melbourne, Australia, to spend Christmas with the sexy singer, and Kylie's mom was allegedly spotted buying baby clothes. But Kylie has emerged from a two-month break from the celebrity circuit to blast the claims -- and also set the record straight about stories she caught the bouquet at fellow Aussie Natalie Imbruglia's wedding. The singer told the Herald Sun newspaper, "I wasn't even at the wedding. I'd have to have very long arms." HALLE SEEKS THERAPY TO HELP HER MAN TROUBLES Oscar winner Halle Berry is seeking therapy to help her get over a series of disastrous relationships. The acting beauty has always been unlucky in love -- she recently split from unfaithful husband Eric Benet, her first marriage to baseball player David Justice ended so badly, she sought a restraining order from him, and she has confessed she lost a lot of the hearing in her right ear, following a confrontation with a former lover.

The actress says, "So far, my relationships have all been the kind that make you throw up. I seem to have a hard time finding the right one. "I'm trying to become more picky, to think of myself more. I see a psychotherapist a couple of times a month. He helps me understand myself and understand others." KIEFER: JULIA WAS BRAVE FOR CALLING OFF OUR WEDDING Kiefer Sutherland has praised ex-girlfriend Julia Roberts ' "bravery" for calling off the couple's planned wedding at the last minute. The star no longer speaks with his ex, but admits the years since the painful public split have helped him realize how courageous Roberts was to jilt him at the altar. Sutherland, who has suffered two marriage break-ups since his romance with Roberts, says, "She made the right decision. I spent two years with her because I loved her; she mattered more to me than anything at the time. "We met when we were doing 'Flatliners;' then 'Pretty Woman' came out. It was just this amazing ascent for her.

She very cleverly said, 'I don't think this marriage is the right thing.' It was brave of her, knowing the expectations people had for the wedding." Sutherland admits he was mortified when his ex walked out on him, but he now fondly remembers the two years they spent together. He adds, "She was one of the funniest people I've ever known but I don't know her now. We don't talk. I thought she was the bee's knees." DIAZ WISHES YOU WERE HERE Hollywood babe Cameron Diaz is set to star in her own travel program on cable music channel MTV. The actress and her friends will travel the globe and also address environmental issues. Cameron will enjoy sand boarding in the north Chilean desert, among other unusual activities. Pop star Justin Timberlake's girlfriend is keen to show off her independence, as she copes traveling without amenities and an entourage.

Rod Stewart at 70: 'I finally worked out you have to listen to women' - Mirror Online Celebs Rod Stewart at 70: 'I finally worked out you have to listen to women' As he hits 70, the father of eight has revealed meeting third wife Penny finally made him realise what it takes to make a relationship work Share Get celebs updates directly to your inbox + Subscribe Could not subscribe, try again laterInvalid Email Even by rock star standards, he has always proved a big hit with the ladies. Over the years, Rod Stewart has ­romanced beauties including actress Britt Ekland and model Kelly Emberg. The Do Ya Think I’m Sexy singer ­admits he had a roving eye – and he was famously branded a “selfish lover”. But as he hits 70, the father of eight has revealed meeting third wife Penny finally made him realise what it takes to make a relationship work. Rod said: “I’m wiser now. To be in a successful relationship you have to listen, which I never used to do, and commit to it. "That’s difficult when you’ve got women throwing themselves at you. “It was hard in those days.

I was never a particularly good-­looking bloke but if you sing in a rock group you get the girls. "I always had a roving eye.” Rod has sons Alistair, nine, and Aiden, three, with model Penny, who he started dating in 1999. They tied the knot in Portofino, Italy, in 2007. The former Faces frontman credits her with teaching him how to be a better person. “Penny is an angel,” he said. “I love her to death. “She really has been an inspiration and protection, my Berlin Wall. We have a lot of fun. I met Penny in my 50s and if I had not learned by that point in my life, I was never going to.” Roving eye: Rod looks up Penny Lancaster's skirt in 2004 (Photo: Getty) Rod was born in Highgate, London, on January 10, 1945, the youngest of five children. He started busking in his teens and joined the Jeff Beck Group then the Faces before going solo.

His hits span 50 years and include Sailing, You Wear It Well and Maggie May, and he was made a CBE in 2007 for his services to music. Rod is used to the spotlight – but as Penny plans his landmark birthday bash, he’d sooner keep things low-key. He said: “My wife is trying to organise a big 70th birthday party and I’m trying to get out of it. I don’t think birthdays mean as much to guys. Birthdays come and go and they don’t worry me at all.” The years are certainly no worry for Penny, 43, either. She said: “When we started seeing each other it felt like something in a movie. I’ve always liked older men and would say, ‘If only I could find a man as lovely as my dad’.” Rod had his first relationship, with art student Susannah Boffey, in 1963 aged 18. They had daughter Sarah. Rod then dated models Jennie Rylance and Dee Harrington before starting a relationship with Bond Girl Britt Ekland in 1975. They were together for around two years – and years later she mocked his bedroom prowess.

The Man With the Golden Gun star said: “I thought he had a distinctly average sex drive. He was a very selfish lover. He wasn’t a man who cared about satisfying a woman in bed.” Not impressed: Britt Ekland and Rod (Photo: Scope) Rod married for the first time in 1979, to Alana Hamilton – the ex of actor George Hamilton. They had daughter Kimberley that year and son Sean in 1980, splitting in 1984. A seven-year relationship with Kelly Emberg followed, ending in 1990. Their daughter Ruby was born in 1987. Wedding bells rang a second time in 1990 when Rod married model Rachel Hunter, who was 24 years his junior. They had two children, Renee and Liam, and split in 1999. It was then that Penny transformed his life. He had met her at a Christmas party in 1998 after one of her friends dared her to ask him for his autograph. They have become so inseparable now they have vowed to not spend more than 10 days apart – which means Penny will join Rod when he tours this year.

And that will mean clocking up some serious air miles. While Rod has an estimated £100m fortune as he hits 70, he shows no signs of slowing down. The star is booked solid to the end of 2015 with dates at venues in Australia, New Zealand and the US – ­including a residency at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. Rod revealed he is hitting the gym for 90 minutes a day to get in shape. “It can’t go on forever but I’m booked all through 2015,” he said. “I’m enjoying it at the moment. I’ve got the energy, the voice is in good shape. People are still ­coming to see me, which I appreciate.” However, Penny says years of performing have taken their toll in some ways. View gallery While she describes Rod as having ­“hardly any irritating habits”, she said: “All those years on stage means he likes the TV on much louder than me. “I can hear the football commentary on the other side of the house and it drives him mad when I keep turning it down.” Thinking hard to pick out any other faults, she adds: “Well, his hair is a thing.

He has to have the hair right and there might be a few outfit changes before he decides on the final one. "Also, he’s colour blind so he’ll often come out in two ­different gingham patterns. Then he’ll look at my face and say, ‘Right, I’ll go and change’. But I love that Rod takes pride in his appearance.” Penny has also revealed that Rod would be happy to add to his tally of eight children – but she insists they are “done”, meaning Rod can spend more time wowing ­audiences during his eighth decade. And rock biographer Lesley-Ann Jones reckons that at 70, his appeal is as strong as ever. She said: “He continues to straddle generations. Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant said recently about rock ­frontmen, ‘There’s only Rod, Jagger and me left’. He is not wrong.” See Rod singing Maggie May below Video Loading
