ROLLING STONES - WOOD IGNORES SMOKING BAN AT MOSS' BIRTHDAY BASH

THE ROLLING STONES star RONNIE WOOD has flouted the U.K. smoking ban for a second time - by lighting up at KATE MOSS' recent birthday celebrations. The rocker was reportedly asked by staff not to smoke inside London's Punk nightclub in Soho but ignored their pleas - telling them to "f**k off", according to British magazine Closer. The 60-year-old star was at the venue last Wednesday (16Jan08) celebrating the 34th birthday of supermodel Kate Moss, along with his wife Jo and a select group of the catwalk beauty's close friends. Wood has previously ignored the smoking ban - which prohibits lighting up in all enclosed public spaces - when he and his bandmate Keith Richards smoked throughout a sell-out Rolling Stones concert at London's O2 Arena shortly after the law was introduced last summer (07).
