Police quiz Rolling Stone Wood
over ``body'' in car

LONDON (Reuters) - British police quizzed Rolling
Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood about a body in his car --
until it turned out to be a cardboard cut-out of actor and
former footballer Vinnie Jones, the Sun tabloid said
Friday.

Police and ambulance staff swarmed the rock star's Bentley after a woman in southwest London mistook the likeness of Jones, used to promote the movie ``Gone in 60 Seconds,'' for a corpse.

``She thought there had been a murder, but the cut-out is thin so he'd have to
have been run over by a steamroller,'' Wood's wife Jo told the mass-circulation
daily newspaper.

Jones, a former midfielder for several English soccer clubs, was very much alive
Wednesday evening at the London premiere of the film.
