Ronnie Wood to buy lover's silence

Dumping Kat cash it's a gag, gag, gag!

LOVE rat Ronnie Wood has taken legal advice on how to DUMP his young mistress - with a PAY-OFF.

The Rolling Stone, 62, is desperate to leave 20-year-old Ekaterina Ivanova and get back with his ex-wife Jo.

But he fears scorned Kat will spill his darkest secrets in a kiss and tell story - so has consulted a lawyer about buying her silence with a six-figure sum.

The rock legend, whose band's hits include Jumping Jack Flash, told close pals: "The infatuation's finished - I do NOT love her."

BLOOMING: Jo Wood
BLOOMING: Jo Wood

And last night a source said: "Kat gives him constant earache and sticks to him like a limpet. But he did sneak away for a phone conference with his brief.

"One thing they discussed was how to keep Kat from spilling the beans.

"Kat loves Ronnie and is unlikely to betray him. But she is fiery and unpredictable, and Ronnie's worried she'll reveal things said when his break-up with Jo was at its messiest.

"The fact is, Ron wants Jo back. And his ideal scenario is Kat agrees to keep her silence for a big payment."

The couple, who split briefly last month, have been rowing over issues like Kat's ambition to be the next CHEEKY GIRL, we can reveal.

At the same time Jo, 54 - who got an £11.5 million divorce settlement - has been having a ball as a contestant on BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing.

The source said: "Kat's obsessed with fame and looks at the Cheeky Girls for inspiration.

"She sees two Eastern European women without discernible talent who become famous in Britain. That's her idea of success but it leaves Ronnie cold.

"At the moment he spends most of his time being henpecked by Kat and feeling guilty about Jo.

"He's also watching Jo bloom on Strictly. His worst nightmare is opening the paper and seeing she's found someone new."dan.evans@notw.co.uk

I loved Ron Wood in the Faces. I loved him in the Rolling Stones. As a human being he sucks!

Kat might as well go for as much as she can because when this is all over she will be a nobody !As for Ron there has to be inspiration for a song or two.Any ideas for titles!

Dont care how much loot he has , hes gross

Amanda, you're the one that comes across as pathetic.

Yes Jo had every right to have a divorce settlement as she was with Ronnie through his big paydays.

She was the one who ran their home and raised their children. She was a rock to him when he was at his peak so yes, she does deserve a financial settlement.

But this little girlfriend, around for less than a year - does she really deserve anything?
She doesn't have a job and has lived off Ronnie all this time so she deserves big fat NOTHING.

I'm sure she'll get something but she doesn't deserve it, clinging to him like a limpit (physically and financially) doesn't constitute a partnership.

It's money grabbing opportunistic women like you who give the rest of us a bad name. Have some self respect.

Now that Jo has enough money to live out the rest of her life in total comfort, I can't imagine why on earth she would want him back unless she loved him. If that really is the case then I wish them all the best. Love is a strange thing and it is true to say...it's blind.

Helen E.

So, if you were divorcing a man, (ugly, rich, handsome, poor - makes no odds), you'd just walk away without a penny would you?

Your comment is pathetic. In a divorce both parties are entitled to a share and likening it to prostitution is one of the most stupid things I have ever read on reader comments!

OMG..I thought that pic above was of Kat...but its the ex-wife Jo....Ronny Baby!!---You Fool but then theres no fool like an old fool....

Jo please don`t take leather face back he humiliated you both privately and publicly.
He made his bed now let him lie on it, you are young and beautiful and deserve a man who will treat you with respect

Oh my lord.....we all know that any sane woman with pride, dignity and decent standards wouldn't look at this man twice if it wasn't for the fact that he was/still is in one of the biggest rock bands of all time. No amount of money (and i mean this in all honesty) would make me want to have a sexual relationship with this man. I know it's not all about looks, but the guy's got beady eyes, no lips, a massive nose and his hair's inexplicable. He looks like a crow.

By sarah. Posted October 4 2009 at 1:55 PM.

What's she got to reveal about him we know it all by now. He's whole life has benn Sex, Drugs and Rock N Roll. Nothing left to tell, only how many times he uses the toilet. If he wants to get rid of Kat all he has to do is Say there is the door don't let it hit you in the arse on the way out.

By Lorna. Posted October 4 2009 at 1:48 PM.

Why pay Kat off when she can't possibly have anything to reveal that we can't guess ourselves - Ronnie drank a lot, took drugs, he was boring, looked really unattractive and the worst revelation for a man - he couldn't get it up! Save your money Ron we know it all already, just change your locks and give her some food and clothing vouchers as a goodbye gift.

By Helen. Posted October 4 2009 at 12:59 PM.

We all read the interview with Jo in NOW where she stated she would "never get back with him".
Did she get paid for that interview ?
If so, is she refunding the payment when she gets back with him ?

Oh this is Karma at it's best!!

A divorce payout is nothing like prostitution. Family assets belong to both partners, regardless of who brought in the majority of the cash. That's what the term 'married' denotes - to borrow from Simon and Garfunkel it's about the marrying together of the fortunes of the pair (both personal AND monetory).

How could any woman go anywhere near the leather faced wrinkled drunken old man .

By margaret. Posted October 4 2009 at 10:38 AM.

Come on, any woman who goes with this man (that includes both Joe and Kat) is only with him for the money. It looks like both women will end up with massive payouts, and I see no difference between them and any other prostitute if they do.

By Helen E.. Posted October 4 2009 at 8:54 AM.

What an odious, pathetic little man Ronnie is, makes me sick.

By Ninna. Posted October 4 2009 at 8:48 AM.

Don't take him back Jo. You are beautiful. Ronnie traded down in the looks department.

By joy. Posted October 4 2009 at 7:44 AM.

I am not surprised that he wants Jo Wood back, she's one sexy lady.

By lisa. Posted October 4 2009 at 7:28 AM.

Oh dear talk about disillusion. The dangers of lust, greed, selfishness, adultery and pop idol worship. With a 42yr old gap surely Ron knew what he was risking. Nobody is perfect but Jo can be the bigger person to forgive even though she was badly hurt.

does anyone give a flying truck,, if the old git cant keep it in his pants and then the girl who is young enough to be his grand daughter sells her story to the press, learn your lesson you silly old man

By whocares. Posted October 4 2009 at 2:29 AM.

So a less-than-attractive Rolling Stone splits up with a voluptuous 20 year old to return to his bitter 62 year old ex. who was about to sue his wrinkly arse off.

"Hi, my name's Jeremy Kyle..."

By Tearful Chunt. Posted October 4 2009 at 2:08 AM.

"Can't buy me, love" will be her refrain! She would spend the money and then.....talk.

BRILLIANT NOTW headline above: Dumping Kat Cash is a gag, gag, gag. Love it.

By Tallulah. Posted October 3 2009 at 11:25 PM.

Even if he tries to pay her off, how does he know that she wont take that as a sign that she could earn alot through a kiss and tell. I bet that we will see Katerina spill the beans on this in the next 2 months. Sounds like Ronnie has really grown bored of Katerina and this is just weeks away from being "officially over", what makes him think Jo will take him back anyway after this?

By Mick Jagger. Posted October 3 2009 at 11:24 PM.

She will tell the whole bald truth.
