Who's who of drumming

The Who's drummer Zak Starkey hadn't even picked up a drumstick when the legendary rock band last toured here.

"I was three," the musician said abruptly after arriving in Sydney yesterday for the band's first concerts in Australia since 1968.

The son of the Beatles' drummer, Ringo Starr, has been realizing a childhood dream since he joined the Who in the mid-1990s.

Rock 'n' roll myth has it that Who drummer Keith Moon gave Starkey one of his first professional kits.

Keith used to be a kind of musical godfather to him, Pete Townshend has said.

Starkey would sit at the kit wearing headphones, drumming along to his favorite albums, including those by the Who.

"Playing with the Who is the biggest rush there is. At 11 years old, I used to go to bed dreaming about what I'm doing now. I don't know how many people can say that," Starkey said in 1997.

Starkey more than paid his dues before being invited to join rock royalty.

Performing in pubs by the age of 12, he formed his first band, garage rockers the Next, in his teens and recorded his first studio session with the Spencer Davis Group at 17.

JAGGER READY TO DITCH LENNON



ELIZABETH JAGGER is planning to ditch on-off boyfriend SEAN LENNON, because she's too young to be tied down.

The model daughter of ROLLING STONE SIR MICK has been dating late BEATLE JOHN LENNON's 28-year-old son for almost a year, but since Jagger moved from New York to London the couple have found themselves on opposite sides of the Atlantic.

She confides, "Sean doesn't know yet, but I'm planning to cool the relationship. We get on really well and have great fun, but he lives a long way away now that I've left New York.

"We were never really that serious in the first place. We liked dating and hanging out but now he's over there and I'm back home, there doesn't seem much point in going on.

"Besides, long-distance conversations don't sound like much fun to me.

"I've realised I'm just too young to be tied down. I'm much happier now I'm back in London too.

"New York has become too LA - it's full of pretentious people and that's really not me. I don't actually go out that much. My idea of a great night out is going to the pub with my girlfriends."

The news is likely to come as shock to Lennon, who dumped his girlfriend, actress LEELEE SOBIESKI, after meeting Jagger at a New York party.

Sean Lennon and Milla Jovovich are giving each other a spin.

The Beatle heir, whose previous consorts include Bijou Phillips and Elizabeth Jagger, seems besotted by the actress, who was once engaged to her "Resident Evil" director, Paul W.S. Anderson, and once married to her "Fifth Element" director, Luc Besson.

Naomi Campbell spotted the couple nuzzling at Sean (P. Diddy) Combs' Royal Birthday Ball last week.

"Is this what's going on now?" Campbell asked.

Jovovich nodded shyly.

"I love this!" Campbell shrieked and promptly took her pal aside for some serious girl talk.

В настоящее время Зак Старки считается одним из лучших барабанщиков, играет в концертных составах групп Oasis и The Who. Периодически возникают слухи об образовании группы в составе Лайема Галлахера из Oasis, Дани Харрисона и бывшего гитариста Stone Roses. Галлахерам понравилось исполнение Дани Харрисоном песни While My Guitar Gently Weeps, и вроде после этого завязалось их знакомство...

Gwyn & Stella's Video Show

Madonna has been inducted into the first UK Music Hall Of Fame - and received a hilarious message from close pals Stella McCartney and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Hollywood actress Gwyneth and designer Stella put together a video tribute to the Material Girl by wearing some of her outlandish outfits.

Gwyneth Paltrow modeled a gold conical bodice and scooped her hair to the top of her head, while Stella McCartney sported a raspberry pink " Like a Virgin" dress ­ all in a filmed tribute to honoree Madonna.

Sitting on a bed framed with bare-chested men and McCartney at her side, Paltrow, 32, said, "She's made it okay to be sexual as a woman."

Meanwhile, McCartney said her pal " doesn't compromise ­ that's why she's had such staying power." The designer also said about the get-up, "And you look a lot better in this than we do."

Madge gasped as they appeared on a big screen at London's Hackney Empire.

Wearing a Remembrance Day poppy, Madge gushed, "If someone had told me while I was a little girl growing up in mid-west America that one day I'd be married to a Brit, living in England and inducted into the UK Hall Of Fame, I would have said: `b******s to that'."

It's a boy for Stella

Fashion boss Stella McCartney gave birth to her first child yesterday. The 33-year-old daughter of Sir Paul McCartney had the 8 lb boy a week early.

She was resting in a London hospital last night with her husband, publisher Alasdhair Willis, at her bedside.

A spokesman would not confirm whether the couple had chosen a name for the baby, but said, "Stella and Alasdhair are thrilled with the birth of their baby son.

"Stella went into labour in the early hours of Friday morning and gave birth to a healthy 8 lb baby boy. Both mother and baby are well. Stella is now relaxing with her family by her side."

The baby is Sir Paul's third grandchild - his eldest daughter Mary has sons Arthur, five and Elliot, two.

Designer Stella, who works for the Gucci label, married Alasdhair, 33, in August 2003 at Mount Stuart, on the Isle of Bute.

Stella has no shortage of celebrity pals to advise her on motherhood.

She is close friends with Gwyneth Paltrow, who had daughter Apple last year, as well as Sadie Frost and Liv Tyler.
