I think you're looking at it the wrong way. Perhaps Melanie wanted a child, and wanted to be a single mother. If they aren't a couple, perhaps Mick was just the sperm donor.

To add a different perspective to this thread, I believe it is NOT the number of years or the amount of time Mick will spend with this child, it's the QUALITY of that time. My Dad was 49 when he passed away, a total shock----I was 22. Those 22 years were incredible. My Dad bought my tickts to Stones concerts, read to me as a child and taught me everything he knew would be important for my development...almost like he knew his life would be a short one. The point is, it is all about how you spend the time with your child, not that you may only have 20 or so years! STOP being so narrow minded about this age thing! Mick can give this child so much more than most " normal/ordinary" parents can, and I'm not talking about money! Again, bottom line, it's NOT our business!><

recently I was ridiculed for claiming that jagger will need money to pay his pregnant girlfriend.today we find out that mick has agreed to give melanie about 1 1/2 million dollars, American,buy her a house,and other expenses she will need.i can absolutely guarantee that jagger is not very happy with this,but has agreed just to get it over with.the point i was trying to make is that 2 million dollars is considered to be lots of money by virtually everyone,including jagger,who is worth about 1/2 billion American.i do not know any of the stones personally.but it is extrememly well known,and my sources confirm it , that mr.jagger has a reputation of being very tight with money,especially considering how much he has and makes.i know for a fact that he doesn,t like to tip in restaurants,but does so reluctantly.this slightly miserly characteristic of mick has been well documented for years.it,s generally agreed by people close to jagger that he never believes that he has enough money.perhaps it,s a slight disorder that he,s always had.personally,i don,t think I blame him because the stones were ripped off for millions by allen klein in the 1960,s not to mention money lost to andrew loog Oldham.but all of this could be great news for stones fans.logic would dictate that mick will try to keep the stones engine running for as long as possible.i know one thing.they will never announce a farewell tour.i,m convinced that the unfortunate death of one of the 4 core members might be the only thing that stops the band.let,s hope and pray for many good years ahead of future great health for the mighty 4!

Just for the record when the Stones were last in Perth Mick dined at a Riverfront restaurant with one of his daughters and left a $50 tip, I have actually seen the credit card receipt with his signature on it. So reference here to him not liking to tip in restaurants is somewhat BS I beleive

I read an interview with someone (I can't recall who) in the restaurant business mentioning that he racked up a bill of nearly a thousand dollars with a large party and only left a fifty dollar tip. No idea how reliable that person is but hopefully you are right because I have no respect for people who don't tip. Just selfish. I always tip (have never had service bad enough not to) and I'm a student who is in no better a position than whoever's serving me.

Typically restaurants (at least in the US) have a standard gratuity that's part of the bill. Entirely possible the $50 was in addition to the implied gratuity....

Maybe he thinks a tip should always be $50?
