Kat's got the creme

Ronnie Wood shops at boutiques in Paris with Katia ... while wife Jo makes do at Marks & Spencer

By Sara Nuwar, 16/11/2008

CAN you spot the happy shopper?

If you want to get a handle on that, just check out the bags . . . and we don't mean the ones under wizened rocker Ronnie Wood's eyes.

The distressed-looking woman on the right with the M&S carrier is not just any bargain hunter-she's Rolling Stone Ron's bargain-hunting estranged wife Jo.

While Jo, 53, was slumming it at Marks in London's Kings Road, with daughter Leah, Ron, 61, was treating new love Katia Ivanova to a monster spend-up in Paris.

Smugly showing off her Chloe carrier bag, ex-waitress Katia, 20- who used to dress like a cash-strapped student-led her lover around the city's pricey designer stores, including Dolce & Gabanna, Louis Vuitton and Prada.

Wardrobe

And while former model Jo dressed down in jeans and a T-shirt for her shopping trip, Katia displayed her new wardrobe, strolling through the boulevards of Paris in a designer tartan jacket.

One tourist, who spotted the Rolling Stones legend and his lover, said: "I'm not sure if Ron shopped till he dropped but he did look weary."

Back in London, the strain of the split was showing on Jo, who we revealed last week is now dating Trinny Woodrow's estranged husband Johnny Elichaoff.

But she should soon have plenty to smile about-when Ron hands over an estimated half of his £70 million fortune in the divorce settlement.

After all, she who laughs last, shops longest.

The old saying 'What comes around goes around' has come true. Jo took Ronnie from Krissie and now Kat has taken Ronnie from Jo. We pay for our mistakes in life.

Ron, I am a big fan. Have much of your music, some of your art, and read your latest book, two of Keith's, one of Micks.

I do not understand, and it bothers me.

You have true family and true love - a gift.

Hard for me to understand.

Jo you are super cool, my husband said he would pick you above that russian bimbo.

Jo can do much better without him and Leah, you need to be there for your mother what Ronnie has done is stupid he'll be regretting it soon and there is nothing wrong with shopping at m&s it's just the price difference, anyway why do all these celebrities spend so much on a pair of jeans or a tee it's ridiculous.

to Jo and Leah - Good Luck x

It appears that it eludes the grasp of far too many people that a relationship is 90% mental and 10% physical. Only 10% physical because what can Katia do for Ronnie physically that Jo can't do? Capture the mind first and the heart will follow. Lose the mind and you lose the heart. When an attractive 20 year old woman makes a man three times her age think he's hot stuff, his wife becomes expendible.

Just goes to show expensive clobber can't make a scrubber look less cheap! Jo would look beautiful in a binbag....dignity is the most attractive quality!! Think you are fab Jo!!

Ronnie, your wife looks fantastic, I think you are kidding yourself about your new way of life. Having a younger partner won't bring back your youth. Face it you had a wonderful woman who stood by you. She is showing you now that she is strong enough to not need you anymore. I think you have lost out. Someone else will come along for Jo and whisk her off her feet and give her the life you could have afforded her instead of the life you gave her all those loyal years. You are a complete fool being taken for a ride!!!

I like Jo. I think she's beautiful - and Marks & Spencer isn't that cheap! Just because she's got money, it doesn't mean she has to squander it on overly priced Designer gear - Good luck to her. She's well rid of that loser Ronnie and that scrubber he left her for.

There's no fool like an old fool - For crying out loud Ronnie grow up!!
