Stewart's Rod Still Working

At least, that's the presumption.

Hey, I give 65-year-old Rod Stewart credit for his career longevity, catchy tunes, beating cancer, and his charity work. And I don't begrudge him a younger honey – just as I think it would be just fine for a 65-year-old-woman to snag a 39-ish guy.

But I do think it is highly irresponsible for him to be making babies at his age. This story gives no indication that he's married to Penny Lancaster, but according to the always reliable Wikipedia, they are married. So at least this latest kid they are having together is being born into a marriage.

Stewart should get a DNA test on both kids. And a vasectomy. This kid's dad is going to be freakin' 65 and it isn't even like the kid is going to have some young full-of-energy mommy. Oh well, I'm sure the nannies will be a big help.

Enough already, Rod!

And another thing. These stories always say the couple is so happy about having the kid. Of course. You're never going to see in People Magazine something like, "The old man married to the hot young woman tells us that he's really upset. He has grown children already and certainly didn't get remarried to have more. He's already making alternative arrangements for sex. He told her to get an abortion, but she didn't want to 'have my baby ripped into pieces.'" And yes, I'm glad they're not killing the baby.

Rod Stewart Marries a Third Time

Either not learning enough from his previous mistakes, or having figured out why he was unable to stay married the first two times, Rod Stewart has married a third time.

British rock star Rod Stewart married Penny Lancaster on Saturday in a
low-key ceremony on Italy's Ligurian coast.

Stewart, 62, and Lancaster, 36, have been together since the break-up of Stewart's second marriage in 1998 and tied the knot in a civil ceremony in a villa with only Lancaster's parents as witnesses.

So he's been with this woman for nine years? Why get married now? You mean to tell me he did play the field at all after his last marriage? Or does he play the field, married or not? I don't know, because I don't read the tabloids.

After the wedding the couple walked from the villa to a nearby restaurant to
see their 19-month-old son, Alastair.

Uh-oh. They did things out of order? But wait a minute... the bride wore white. I'm confused.

From there they strolled on to the harbor where they posed for photographs in a small boat before sailing to Stewart's luxury yacht "The Lady Ann Magee."

The 50-metre (164-foot) yacht is listed on the internet for rent at 170,000 euros ($226,000) a week.

Yeah, uhm, Rod - about that yacht, and other stuff like that. You were smart enough to get a pre-nup, right? I mean, you don't have a very good track record when it comes to marriage, meaning you have either picked the wrong women, have not treated them right, or both. It wouldn't be any of my business, but marriage is a public thing, and something I value, and I hate to see it devalued. And I hate to see guys lose stuff for which they've worked hard because of divorce.

I don't hold out much hope for third marriages, unless the person who has been twice divorced has gone through a lot of personal growth/therapy that makes them better choosers and spouses than they were the previous two times.
