    I would like to set the record straight about Pierre Trudeau. I have never met the late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.

    I would like to set the record straight. My name is Bianca Jagger. I was born Bianca Pérez-Mora Macias not Bianca Perez Morena de Macias. My late father's name is Carlos Perez-Mora and my late mother's maiden name is Dora Macias. No one in my family has the name Morena. In Spanish, Morena means dark skin and I believe someone initiated this name as a racial bad taste joke, referring to the Rolling Stones song, “Brown Sugar” - a song that was not written about me.

Over the last few years I have written to Wikipedia on several occasions, asking them to correct my name. Reputable media outlets such as the BBC continue to refer to me by the wrong name.

    I would like to set the record straight about Billy Joel. I have never been on a date with Billy Joel, and the song “Big Shot,” is not about me. In an interview in 2006, Billy Joel stated, "I read that the song 'Big Shot' is said to be about a date I had with Bianca Jagger. I never had a date with Bianca Jagger.” (Reference: La Canna, Xavier (2006-11-10). "Billy Joel back to Aussie basics". Australian Associated Press).

    I would like to set the record straight about the horse in Studio 54. I love horses and I used to have a white horse in Nicaragua, however, I would certainly not have ridden a horse into a nightclub. Once, as a surprise for my 27th birthday (in 1977), a horse was brought into Studio 54 in New York. I briefly mounted the horse, dressed in a full length red Halston dress (see picture attached). Unfortunately this event has been fictionalised and the facts have been misrepresented by several reputable media outlets including: The BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_depth/uk/2000/newsmakers/2763139.stm) The Independent (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/ian-schrager-is-there-...). Even though the Independent has issued an apology for an article which appeared on 16 July 2006, they continue to post defamatory articles.
