Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster

  • While the place is still to be confirmed, Rod Stewart has confirmed he’s set to marry fiancee Penny Lancaster later this month. Rod confirmed the date at Saturday’s Raisa Gorbachev Foundation dinner at Hampton Court Palace when he called out to friend Elton John: “My wedding is in two weeks. Start looking for the gift!” Elton joked that Rod was a “greedy b*****d” but added: “Don’t worry, I’ll find something nice for you!”
  • And speaking of forthcoming nuptials, My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way has confirmed he has got engaged to his girlfriend - but he won’t say who she is. Gerard confirmed the news - but not her identity - in MTV interview at last weekend’s Rock Am Ring Festival in Germany, explaining why he was wearing a ring on his wedding finger. He said: “The truth of the matter is that I’m engaged and I’m really excited about it.”
