After Glastonbury there was no time to sit down, hang up the bandanas and nestle into a future filled with colostomy bags and porcelain dentures. Instead, the band looked forward to two more mega headline sets in London's Hyde Park on 6th and 13th July to mark the close of their 50th anniversary tour and record some live tracks.Now is it time to rest? No siree: in response to NME's question whether they'd like to play Hyde Park again, Jagger looked to the future: "Not this year. I haven't given it any thought and nor has it been offered. But I'd love to do it. It's a great gig. I did enjoy it. It was beautiful. It turned out to be so wonderful with the sun going down behind the park. It was a perfect London evening."
Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and Charlie Watts have certainly led fascinating lives after rising up as the original rock stars in the mid-sixties height of fame, honing their anti-establishment image with drug arrests, sexually charged on stage antics and anarchist demonstrations against the Vietnam War outside London's US Embassy.Now able to boast an extensive library as a 69 year-old, Richards admitted to having snorted his dad's ashes mixed with cocaine, whilst Wood has been in and out of rehab and drummer Watts battled with alcohol and drug addiction but after a recent throat cancer scare he focusses on breeding horses.With such an array of colourful lives plus 24 studio and 11 live albums, you'd expect an official biographical account of The Rolling Stones' career but Mick Jagger isn't interested in penning an autobiography any time soon.
Instead, the band will continue to stay in their exotic yurts, dine with prime minister, perform headline appearances left, right and centre, and see locks of Jagger's hair sell for £4,000. Because what's the point in writing an autobiography when you're still making history?Source:

1. Shailene Woodley is a brilliant actress and Golden Globe nominee. I cannot think of any 18-year-old actress who has received the kind of critical acclaim that she has (she also won an Independent Spirit Award). She auditioned for The Fault in Our Stars not because she needs the part (I mean, she’s in the new Spider Man movie, for God’s sakes) but because she loves the book. Her depth of understanding were immediately obvious in the audition and for me there could be no one else to play Hazel. (There were a bunch of really good auditions, but Shailene just understood Hazel as I imagined her.) I am not particularly concerned with physical looks; Hollywood can fix that stuff. (Remember when Nicole Kidman became Virginia Woolf?) I’m concerned with whether she can embody the voice and experience and life of Hazel. She can. 2. Ansel Elgort is also a huge fan of TFiOS (it is, in fact, his favorite book). He was a high school basketball player who also happens to be a very intellectual guy. Most importantly, when he auditioned, he became Augustus. Watching him audition with Shailene, he was just Gus and she was just Hazel. He understood Gus, and clearly had a very deep and thoughtful relationship with the book. Honestly, I’m a bit confused as to how you can dislike an actor whose work you have definitionally never seen, since his first movie isn’t out yet.3. Novelists do not cast movies, so these were not my decisions (although I did have a lot of input). But I’m defending them because I think they’re both perfect for their parts (and I’d tell you if I felt otherwise).4. There seems to be some concern that Ansel and Shailene are playing siblings in a different movie. I guess I can understand that, but they’re actors. They can play different roles. They’ll look different and act different and be different. I mean, no one watched Silver Linings Playbook and thought, “When did Katniss move to the suburbs of Philadelphia?”If the movie works, you’ll sit down in the theater and you won’t say, “Oh look it’s Shailene Woodley,” or, “Oh, look, it’s Tris from Divergent.” You’ll say, “Holy wow Hazel Grace.”Issues like these are not new when it comes to movie adaptation of books. But come on guys! You should respect the decisions of the people behind the movie adaptation. We haven't seen any of their audition tapes! We all have our own version of Gus and Hazel on our mind when we read the book. Physical features of the actors/actresses are not really important because they can be transformed with the use of makeup or whatever. What's important is the talent of the actor/actress and how they bring our favorite characters to life. So, guys, chill okay? Okay?
