Mick Jagger's lover L'Wren Scott has reportedly caused a rift within the Rolling Stones.
The brunette stylist is said to be causing tension between Jagger and his bandmates because she is desperate to give the legendary group a makeover.
The 38-year-old former model, who has been romancing Jagger for four year, has joined the band on their Bigger Bang world tour - and has even said to be trying to get lifelong smokers Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood to quit. They are allegedly calling her the 'new Yoko Ono' after John Lennon's wife, who was accused of splitting up the Beatles after allegedly trying to take control of band decisions.
A source is quoted in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper as saying: "L'Wren has started throwing her weight around pretty quickly. She has made it clear she hates the fact that both Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood are chain smokers and has done her best to try and stop them smoking in front of her.
"L'Wren also feels the band should smarten up their appearance but sadly that is falling on deaf ears. Ronnie still wears his ugg boots everywhere, and as for Keith, well Keith of the bandana and the bare chest is not changing his style for anyone."
