This is a (partial) list of Rachel Hunter's ex boyfriends and husbands:

Rod Stewart
Liam Gallagher
Leonardo DiCaprio
Mark Wahlberg
US actor Michael Weatherly
Manchester United star Ryan Giggs

And now she can add Robbie Williams, who according to various reports dumped her immediately after the New Year.

Bizarrely enough, January 13 is precisely the date on which Rachel Hunter was dumped by Rod Stewart as well - in 1999. Guess she's not very good in Sylvester nights.

Things started to turn sour at the end of November last year when Robbie met aspiring model Gemma Segal at a charity go-karting race and asked her on a date.

Robbie has never been able to hold down a long-term relationship. One of his longest was with former All Saint Nicole Appleton, who became his fiancee. They split up four years ago - and she later revealed she had aborted Robbie's child.

Rachel, still a knockout at 34, is currently on a real estate shopping spree, according to reports in the financial press. Rachel and her agent, Andy Haden, are amongst the investors in a new housing project in the Hilton development of the Bali island. It seems Rachel Hunter tries to take advantage of the drop-out prices, following the terrorist attack on the island last year. This girl was always quick to recognise opportunities.

Townshend 'warned of net danger'

By JOHN INNES, Glasgow Record

Jerry Hall, the supermodel and actress, revealed last night how she and rock star Pete Townshend had spoken at length at a dinner party in his home about the dangers of child pornography on the internet.

In a statement publicly defending him, she said that he had advised her on how best to protect her children from inadvertently gaining access to such websites, and insisted that he did not match the profile of a paedophile.

Townshend, 57, who admitted using his credit card to enter a website advertising child pornography, claimed he had done so "purely to see what was there" and was conducting research for a book he plans to publish this year. At the dinner party, in October 2001, he also expressed his fears as a public figure speaking out on such a sensitive subject, Hall said.

Hall, who has known Townshend for 22 years, said: "Since 1992, I have campaigned for both public and private child welfare foundations both in raising public awareness and funds. Pete Townshend is an avid supporter of these causes.

"Over the course of our friendship we also have discussed his belief that he too was abused as a child. He also spoke about his pending autobiography and the difficulty he had in coming to terms with this aspect of his childhood.

"Pete Townshend is the least likely profile of a child abuser it is possible to construct, and that is because he isn’t one."

Townshend was yesterday condemned by internet watchdogs who dismissed his frank explanation for illegally entering the website as "no excuse".

Campaigners argued that his intentions were at best "incredibly foolhardy, naive and misguided", if, as he says, he was conducting research for a book he hopes to publish later in the year.

Mark Stephens, a lawyer with Finers Stephens Innocent who founded the internet Watch Foundation, said: "It is wrong-headed, misguided and illegal to look at or download or even to pay to download paedophiliac material and if you do so, you are likely to go to prison.

"Pete Townshend has admitted a criminal offence and this goes to mitigation and it’s a matter for a court to accept if he was merely doing research or something worse."

The Who star - idolised by fans since the 1960s - said that he had been shocked and angered by the explosion of advertised paedophilic images on the internet and had been curious.

Mr Stephens, who set up the IWF ten years ago and is now vice-chairman, said there were people employed across the globe to combat child pornography on the internet and whose job it was to monitor the content. It was not, he added, the role of a member of public such as Townshend to investigate themselves.

British police are pursuing their largest-ever operation into online paedophilia and child pornography. About 1,300 people have been arrested.
