AUG 15 Summer 2000 is not the period with the most news. But some few things happen. MICK JAGGER is nearly ready with his filming and a solo CD from the Enigma will be out at the time for the film premiere. MICK JAGGER is also using some time for his children, as well as he was seen together with Jerry Hall at the "Graduate" London debut. KEITH RICHARDS is on holiday - last seen on the exclusive Martha's Wineyard. RON WOOD is now workin' on some clubmusic. And CHARLIE WATTS are now the lucky owner of two new race-horses picked up from Poland. 
Concerning tour plans there are NO news so far, a lot of different rumours are circulating as always. Also the next CD from the band is long awaited - but so far, also just rumours circulating.
STONES PLANET fanzine no.3 should have been out, but due to technical problems with our American editor and her MAC machine, we are still a delayed - hope you will wait and understand that we are very sorry about it - but can't help it. You will of course always have 4 issues in your membership period.
AUG 29 On behalf of President Václav Havel I would like to thank you for your e-mail message of 20 July 2000.  The President is honored that you would like him to be an honorary member of the Rolling Stones Fan Club.  He has long been a fan of the Stones, and continues to enjoy listening to their music and visiting with the band members when they come to Prague.
However, the President must decline your gracious offer at this time.  Nevertheless, we thank you for thinking of him and we wish  you and your club all the best.
Sincerely yours,

/s/ Pavel Fischer, Director
Political Department

RONNIE SPECTOR RECORDING WITH KEITH RICHARDS
RONNIE SPECTOR -- who as a member of the RONETTES recently won a $2.6 million royalties lawsuit against former producer (and husband) PHIL SPECTOR -- is currently in the studio recording the follow-up to her 1999 EP, "She Talks to Rainbows" with KEITH RICHARDS, JOEY RAMONE, SLEATER-KINNEY and other guests. "Keith and I, we're hugging each other, it's so adorable," Spector told Rolling Stone. "There's a lot of history there, a lot of love".ove."
OCT 14 from our contact Massimo Bonanno we have still unconfirmed information about recording sessions in Paris next November for Rolling Stones next album. We surely will try and get it confirmed within a few days.
OCT 25 On U2's forthcomming album, "All That You Can't Leave Behind" includes a version of the song "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of" that features backing vocals by Mick Jagger and his 16-year-old daughter Elizabeth. The Jagger's involvement was said to be casual - it came up while they were visiting the Dublin studio in which U2 was making the album. The group eventually decided to leave their contributions off the final version but still than the Jaggers in the album's liner notes.
STOP PRESS: The song will only be on the mastertape, so it's not for us fans, but a gift for the Jagger family. We regret the update that it was on the CD as well.
NOV 4 Website for Mick Jagger's Enigma film now available.

In mid-November it now seems as rehearsal-days in Paris for the Stones next album.

NOV 23 MARATHON MUSICCo: Marathon Music, office of Mr. Mick Jagger and part time Rolling Stones employees, would like to lay rumors to rest that Mr. Jagger is working on a solo album now, or will do so in the near future. Mr. Jagger has been in a studio recently to start work on the sound track for his movie Enigma, to be released early 2001, he will stay home till mid 2001, to care for his children. Only taking time off to work on the movie 'The man from Elysian Fields.' Also any stories about a coming Stones tour are only speculations, there are no current plans in that direction. The Stones have not even discussed a tour, or met up to do so, there is to little time now to do such a thing. There have been talks about a tour and a studio album, time and locations have been booked, but all has been canceled through various reasons. Hopefully I have hereby informed you enough. Kind regards, Kate Bonham Carter, assistant

DEC 15 MICK Jagger - sex-mad grandfather and Rolling Stones lead singer - could be heading to Sydney early in the New Year to take part in a celebrit  cricket match.  According to Daily Telegraph sports writer John Thirsk, negotiations are under way between Jagger and former cricket international Barry Knight, who is organising the Bear Cottage Celebrity Day at Manly Oval on January 14.  Both Jagger and Knight are members of the Lord's Taverners, a select group of cricket enthusiasts who frequent the more exclusive areas of Lord's.  Oscar-winning composer Sir Tim Rice, now in Perth, is another Lord's Taverner believed to be encouraging Jagger to take part in the charity day, which  hopes to raise $150,000 for the Children's Cancer Institute. Home-grown celebrities who will assume the role of flannelled fools for a day include INXS guitarist and Manly Cricket Club official Tim Farriss,
Sinatra impersonator Tom Burlinson, Andrew Ettingshausen, Wayne Pearce and The Wiggles, some of whom, we hear, are quite handy with a bat and ball. Thanks to Jhabel for information.
