Mick Jagger turned 50 on Monday and kept right on rockin', cutting a new album with the Rolling Stones.

Two weeks ago, Jagger's wife, American model Jerry Hall, threw a French Revolution theme party to commemorate the milestone. Guests included Monty Python's Eric Idle and former Cabinet minister Paul Channon.

The Stones had their first hit record with "Come On" 30 years ago. On Jagger's birthday they were in Dublin, Ireland, working on their next album.

"You change so much and you feel inside a lot of things you were when you were a child," Jagger said in an interview earlier this year. "You've got the same genes. You're still working with the same raw material, honing the good points, getting them better. The bad points, you're trying to put down. You learn things like patience a bit more, and tact."

Jagger's song-writing partner and sometime antagonist, Keith Richards, hits 50 on Dec. 18.

Actors Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman adopted a baby girl Friday in West Palm Beach, Fla.

"Leave us alone, will you please?" Cruise said, shielding his daughter from a photographer after a 10-minute hearing.

In January, the couple adopted a baby, Isabella Jane.
