Mick Jagger happy with being a rock star

Sir Mick Jagger "doesn't know" how to be anything other than a rock star.

The Rolling Stones frontman leads a "weird" existence, and though he is happy with his life, he doesn't think he has many other options.

He said: "I've really done little else in my life it's a bit limiting. It's a very cloistered, weird existence. I'm very happy to do it, but I don't know about much else."

The 74-year-old rocker also admitted that he is puzzled by US President Donald Trump's use of their song 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' at his events because of the subject matter of the track.

He said: "It's a funny song for a play-out song a drowsy ballad about drugs in Chelsea!

"It's kind of weird. He couldn't be persuaded to use something else."

Taraji P. Henson gets surprise proposal

Taraji P. Henson "allowed" her fiance's proposal to be a surprise.

The Empire star was shocked when her beau Kelvin Hayden got down on one knee but says the whole thing wasn't really a surprise as she knew he was going to get a ring for her.

She said: "I already knew he was going to Dubai to get my ring. I knew, I just didn't know when he was going to pop the question. To be quite honest, I allowed it to be a surprise because I could have found out if I wanted to!"

And the 47-year-old actress admits she just "lost it" when Kelvin proposed.

She added to Extra TV: "He said, 'My friend Ronald, it's his birthday ... he's going to have a get-together in this little party room.' I go in the room and there's a violinist ... as I'm looking around the room ... and the people started coming in ... I started connecting the dots, and I turn around and he's already on his knee. I just lost it!"
