Variety reports that Mick Jagger is working on two projects that bridge the worlds of music and movies. One could lead to a comedy Jagger would star in at Paramount and the other is poised to become a Disney film directed by Martin Scorsese.
``Swap,' a role-reversal comedy based on a story by Jagger about the disparity between the lives of rock stars and the roadies. The other project spans the rock 'n' roll business over 30 years and is based on Jagger's experiences. He's writing it with Scorsese and Rich Cohen.

(When told of Richards' unfulfilled wish for ``All About You,' Jagger argued that Richards never performed it on the 'Bridges to Babylon' tour. In reality, Richards sang it 36 times.)
Richards considers himself the guardian of the Rolling Stones. He takes responsibility for getting the band into shape before it hits the stage.
``I figure that if I can take care of that end of it, then that frees Mick up to just worry and think about what he's going to do in front of it. If he starts to interfere with the band and gets hung up about this and that, then that disperses his energy,' Richards said. ``Basically we've come down to the deal: leave the band to me, Mick, I'll promise you the
