IT isn’t only his latest No1 album that Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has to celebrate – but an upcoming 80th birthday in December as well.

Bandmate Sir Mick Jagger threw a no-expense-spared A-list party to mark the same milestone in July.

But Keith is planning something even wilder, by jetting off on a safari holiday.

I’m told he is whisking his extended family away on the getaway in Africa.

A source said: “Keith isn’t afraid of wild beasts and loves seeing them roaming in the wild.

“It’s been a dream to do a big holiday with all his family at a luxury resort in Africa and have that once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience all together.

"He turns the big 8-0 in December and he’s hoping to get out before then and live it up in the sunshine and then spend Christmas with his family.”

It definitely beats the bleak weather back in Blighty.

The Stones, who also include guitarist Ronnie Wood, shifted 72,000 copies of their latest album Hackney Diamonds in the past week, making it the third fastest-selling release of the year behind records from Lewis Capaldi and Ed Sheeran.

That should give Keef plenty of cash to splash on his dream holiday.

Sadie takes a ribbing

SHE spent most of the Nineties hanging out with stick-thin pals – but now Sadie Frost has posed for a photo with an even skinnier model than Kate Moss herself.

The actress and producer shared this snap of her next to a skeleton on Instagram as she revealed she has gone to a retreat in southern Italy to train as a yoga teacher.

She wrote: “It will take me to a deeper understanding and on a longer, fuller path, giving me a deeper insight on life.”

At least I can’t accuse her of being bone idle.

Kendall & Hailey's blackout

KYLIE Jenner got her sister Kendall and pal Hailey Bieber to model outfits from her new clothing label.

Model Kendall wore a strapless faux leather dress heading to dinner in LA with Hailey, who was in a minidress.

Kylie was there on Thursday night too, wearing a black top and matching trousers which were from her fashion brand Khy.

Getting her nearest and dearest to model for her is a clever idea.

In the past month, her half sister Kim Kardashian has had to pay a fortune to get rapper Cardi B, footballer Neymar and others to pose in items from her company Skims.

Kylie may just prove to be the families most savvy businesswoman.

Arnie's got hay-lister pets

SCREEN action man Arnold Schwarzenegger is wanted by Hollywood bosses – but this time it’s because of his pet animals.

The Terminator actor’s pony Whiskey and donkey Lulu are in high demand.

Promoting his self-help book, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life, at London’s Royal Albert Hall this week, Arnie said: “The videos I did with them in lockdown went viral, they were so popular.

"My horse and donkey were offered movie roles afterwards. They wanted me to be in films with them. I couldn’t believe it, but that’s Hollywood.”

If it wasn’t for Arnold’s girlfriend Heather Milligan, Lulu and Whiskey may not have got so famous.

It was she who suggested Whiskey was lonely and needed a pal.

Doja pant stunt

DOJA Cat has taken a leaf out of Beyonce's book by suggesting a dress code for her upcoming shows . . . but this one is pant wedgies!

Queen Bey wanted concert-goers to rock up in silver during her Renaissance World Tour to “create a shimmering human disco ball each night”.

That is tame compared to what the Paint The Town Red singer is asking.

Doja, who kicks off The Scarlet Tour in Brooklyn next month, is telling people to come with their pants pulled up uncomfortably high.

In a video on Instagram, she said: “I want everyone to come with a very deep-set, mega wedgie. I want you to pull your underwear up as high as you can possibly pull it above your pants.

“Have fun with it, and get experimental.”
