Mick Jagger and Keith Richards to be portrayed in new Rolling Stones film

People Post

The volatile relationship between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards is to be turned into a film.

But rather than concentrating of recent rows between the Rolling Stones’ the film will focus on their professional and personal relationship in the 1970s.

Sir Richard Branson is behind the movie after Virgin Films acquired the rights to the book Exile on Main Street: A Season in Hell.

The film explore the drugs and decadence that went on at Richard’s south of France villa during the making of the album, which is considered one of the group’s finest, in the summer of 1971. During the recording, Richards was in the grip of a heroin addiction.

The book by Robert Greenfield describes how the Stones, their wives and girlfriends as well as hangers on “spent their days smoking, snorting, and drinking whatever they could get their hands on.”

No actors have yet been cast to play Jagger and Richards in the film, according to website Deadline Hollywood.

Demi Lovato admits to taking cocaine

Demi Lovato has confessed to using cocaine as a way to battle loneliness after appearing in front of thousands of fans.

The singer also claimed that promoters who wanted her to return to their venue offered her drugs and alcohol. The former Disney star went into rehab in 2010 for a number of personal issues, including an eating disorder, depression and self-harming.

While the 19-year-old has talked about those issues she has never admitted to using drugs. But asked in a magazine interview if she had taken cocaine, she said: “It’s something I don’t really want to talk about.

What I can say is that I was depressed. I would come off stage in front of 18,000 people and suddenly be alone in a hotel room. I’d come crashing down and would try and find a way to recreate that feeling to stay up.”

Katy Perry shows she’s well and truly over marriage split

She’s only been back on the market for four months since her marriage to Russell Brand fell apart. But rather than still nursing the pain of a broken heart, Katy Perry has fallen head over heels for her new boyfriend and shown she’s well and truly over the comedian.

The I Kissed A girl singer looked smitten as she passionately kissed new love Robert Ackroyd, guitarist of Florence + the Machine, at Coachella Festival last weekend.

The pop star couldn’t keep her hands off the tattooed musician Sunday last as they cuddled and kissed while taking in the music at the event.

Katy looked care free and besotted as she jumped on Brit Ackroyd and wrapped her arms around his neck.
