But I think what is the funny part in all of this: how surreal it is that in 2017 - jeez, 55 years after this group was formed - the band is still doing tours and, supposedly, a new album. And with an incredible success, being on the very top of the business (that is: being as competitive by nature as they have always been). And their lead singer's love life is still making headlines and causing some moral anger... I think any kind of realism and common sense has left the way to interpret the world and doings of The Rolling Stones a long ago.
I started to dig this band during the early 80's - and already back then there was a rather strong feeling in the air that all of this is soon over for good - the guys are just getting so damn old and the world is changing... Never ever in my wildest dreams - and I am positive in no one's elses, including the band members', either - could I have imagine that we are still in a position AD 2017 to follow the 'continuing adventures of the Rolling Stones'... If ages ago the real concern was if the 'world' starts to get enough of the Stones, these days - and for decades alraedy - the issue is if they are still somehow up to the task carrying on, the 'world' will be there and follow and love them forever...
It is absurd actually..
There is something very extraordinary, unreal with these guys...

The Daily Mail is rubbish anyway. I know, because I've been there, and I've witnessed how they «work» – in their London office. I even met the editor in chief (what a dork!). It's a rag
This «story» could very well be like this instead:
Noor desperately wanted to meet Mick to discuss a film project. She's a producer after all. Then they met a couple of times. They were probably not alone.
And now Mick is on vacation with his girlfriend and his son in Mustique.
This sounds more feasible to me anyway...

You're being far, far too kind to the Daily Mail. Imho, It is a thoroughly contemptible, despicable, distasteful, ignorant, manipulative, propoganda infested, xenophobic piece of heavily soiled toilet paper. An absolute blot on the UK landscape. In its modern iteration it also has a website which is pure t*t5 & ar5e clickbait for the lowest common denominator. The huge number of hits it gets, earning this vile publication countless millions in advertising revenue in the process, is a very sad reflection on modern society.

That's what I tried to say, but you said it better!

The tabloids are having a field day...far beyond the Daily Mail...it's now making waves in the US "press".
But upon reflection, if anything beyond a professional meeting had happened between them, I think she would have spoken out to someone she knows by now (a friend or family member).
Seems many young girls like to kiss and tell, and when you have the Jag in the mix it's bragging rights for some of them, but so far it's just all specualtion from the tabloids and forums like this.
Still...seems a bit peculiar to have several professional meetings in Paris - "the city of love"...one at a hotel...at night..with her dressed to impress...but maybe they were just playing backgammon or tiddlywinks?
