Tom Jones International

Judging by an interview in today’s Daily Mail,, fighter Ricky Hatton’s mother Carol apparently didn’t meet too many people of whom she approved when she came to Las Vegas for her son’s losing effort against Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Even though she says talking with Tom was “surreal,” she also says, “I actually saw him when he was about 20, when he was called Tommy Scott, and was singing with a group called the Squires,” Carol recalls, after I inquired whether she’d aimed any garments at the lingerie-friendly Welshman.

“I remember queuing outside the Apollo Theatre in Manchester when I was about 15 to get tickets to see him.

“So to be having a chat with him is quite surreal.

“Tom Jones must be getting on for 65 now [he's 67], but the one thing that hasn’t left him is his voice.

“I don’t think he should have jet-black hair and eyebrows, though. It’s not exactly natural-looking.”

She also deals with Stallone, the Duchess of York and — even though she says she’s beautiful — criticizes Angelina Jolie.
