Rod Stewart rejects reality TV offer

Ageing rocker Rod Stewart has rejected a $45m (€36.5m) deal for his family to star in a reality television series like The Osbournes.

The Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? Singer turned down MTV's offer of $9m (€7.3m) for 12 episodes - with another $36m (€29m) if the show was a ratings success - claiming: "Private life is private."
