RONNIE WOOD once splashed out $17,400 (£12,000) on a piece of artwork - only to discover it was a rare portrait worth $145,000 (£100,000).
The Rolling Stones star is an avid art collector and is a particular fan of Irish painter William Orpen.
Wood was delighted when he put in a winning bid in the 1980s on a piece by the artist - but was shocked to find out it was worth almost 10 times what he paid for it.
He says, "I sent my manager to an auction at Sotheby’s. I looked through the catalogue and said: ‘Get this and this if you can,’ and managed to get the portrait of (art dealer, Charles) Wertheimer for £12,000.
"Unknown to me, it was a missing Orpen and worth about £100,000."

Heavily tattooed hip-hop star PHARRELL WILLIAMS has begun the painful process of removing his body art through laser surgery.
The N.E.R.D. singer/rapper, who has tattoos all over his body, including his neck, arms and back, expressed his regret at some of his etchings last year (08) and revealed his plans to undergo the hi-tech surgery.

In a caption accompanying the picture, he writes, "Laser treatment b**ches! Extra crispy. See, no skin graft here, just pure laser pain."

Rapper JADAKISS sympathises with LIL’ KIM over her portrayal in the recent NOTORIOUS B.I.G. biopic, insisting filmmakers got her character "a little wrong".
The Knock Yourself Out star, real name Jason Phillips, was a good friend of the late hip-hop icon and spent time with Kim when they were budding rappers looking to break into the music industry.
But he, like Kim, was left disappointed with the way Biggie’s mistress and protegee was shown in the Notorious film - because it failed to adequately detail her transition from being a sweet and sexy star to her eventual reputation as the "Queen B**ch".
And Jadakiss admits he also found fault with the portrayal of Biggie’s rap rival Tupac Shakur.
He tells WENN, "I think it (the movie) was about 70 per cent accurate. I agree with Kim, I think they did her character a little hard, you know what I mean? They just showed her going straight to the Queen B**ch instead of portraying her from Lil’ Kim, the little lady she was before she turned into Queen Bee, so I’m with Kim on that, they did her a little wrong.
"I also didn’t like Pac’s character. They did him a little happy, a little chipper, but, if you knew Pac â�� I didn’t know him personally â�� but just through his music, you knew he was different." Kim recently revealed she is working on her own biopic, in which she will set the record straight about the depth of her relationship with Biggie - and Jadakiss would jump at the chance to be a part of the project.
He adds, "Definitely, I got a lot of love for Kim. She’s been through a lot and she still remains a good, strong female artist, entrepreneur in the game."

BEYONCE’ father/manager has lashed out at critics doubting the singer’s vocal ability - after an "altered" recording of the star screeching along to one of her hits was aired on U.S. radio.
The singer’s "board mix" from a November (08) performance on America’s The Today Show was played by shock jock Howard Stern on Wednesday (22Apr09), and the audio quickly circulated the internet.
Fans were shocked to hear a voice purported to be Beyonce’s screeching a rendition of her hit tune If I Were a Boy into the mic.
But Mathew Knowles has slammed the singer’s critics and insists the recording has been tampered with.
In a statement to TMZ.com, he says, "If no one took the time to look at the biggest Inauguration in the history of America then shame on them. If no one took the time to listen to Beyonce sing America the Beautiful and At Last at the Neighborhood Ball for the first dance of President Obama and the First Lady, and they question Beyonce’s vocal ability, they’ve gotta be an idiot.
"At 12 years into her career, the last thing someone should be questioning is her vocal ability. That would be like questioning if Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot. The vocals were obviously altered."

CHRIS PINE wrote to his STAR TREK predecessor WILLIAM SHATNER following a reported feud with movie bosses - because the young star was determined to make peace with the Hollywood veteran.
Shatner, who played Captain Kirk in the original TV series and following film franchise, allegedly fell out with studio executives over their refusal to give him a brief appearance in the new prequel film.

He says, "I wrote William Shatner a letter and explained who I was because I heard there was bad blood between him and the studio. I said, ‘I’m just an actor who happened to get a role that happened to be James T. Kirk, and I’m not trying to usurp your status or anything’. He replied, ‘Thank you very much for the letter. I wish you the best of luck.’ I have it on my fridge." Star Trek, the 11th movie in the sci-fi franchise, is due for release in May (09).

Indian police have failed to find any evidence to prove the father of SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE star RUBINA ALI attempted to sell his young daughter for $300,000 (£200,000).
Rafiq Qureshi was quizzed by police in Mumbai, India after British newspaper News of the World alleged he offered to sell the nine-year-old to the highest bidder.
Rubina’s mother Khurshida, who abandoned the family in 2001, claimed she learned of the sale two weeks ago and alerted police to investigate.
But local authorities have yet to uncover any proof to back up allegations Qureshi wanted to sell Ali.
A senior police officer in India tells Reuters, "So far there is no evidence of any offence, hence there is no registration of complaint and no arrest." Qureshi continues to vehemently deny the claims, telling People.com the story was a "lie made up by foreign journalists playing games with me".
Meanwhile, producers of the Oscar-winning movie have stepped in to offer their help and have hired a social worker to care for the child actress.
They’ve also set up The Jai Ho Trust - named after a hit song from the film - for its young stars; the organisation is committed to providing living and education costs for the young cast members, most of whom live in poor Mumbai neighbourhoods.

AMY WINEHOUSE’s estranged husband is eager to get his hands on the singer’s vast fortune, according to the star’s mother.
Blake Fielder-Civil filed for divorce from the Rehab hitmaker in January (09) on the grounds of adultery after seeing pictures of her cavorting with another man on holiday in St. Lucia.
A British tabloid revealed last week (12Apr09) that he is set to be a father after a brief fling with Gilleen Morris while they were being treated at the Phoenix Futures Rehab Centre in Sheffield, England in February (09).
The Back To Black hitmaker, who had hoped to reconcile with her husband, was left devastated by the news - and planned to pay him off with a $3.6 million (£2.5 million) settlement.
But Winehouse’s mother Janis is convinced Fielder-Civil will demand an even bigger share of the singer’s wealth in a divorce payout.
She tells Britain’s Grazia magazine, "It sounds like his hands are outstretched not only for him, but for this person he’s made pregnant. To me it seems like a case of ‘lets get our hands out for the money’." And she accuses Fielder-Civil of double standards over his behaviour, which has come as "a blow" to her daughter.
Janis adds, "Amy did everything she could to get back from St. Lucia to support him, and he had been doing that. It’s a blow. He’s divorcing her for adultery but what about this? I think it’s a case of Blake’s showing his true colours now."
