Posted June 1, 201114 yr Robbie Williams to launch menswear range Pop star Robbie Williams is to launch a menswear label for autumn 11 to be stocked exclusively in House of Fraser stores and online at Shopdirect.com. The brand, which is called Farrell after Williams’s grandfather Jack, will hit stores in September. The range comprises items such as a Crombie 3/4 length coat, button shawl collar dinner jacket in herringbone and tailored trousers. It also includes casualwear pieces such as cable-knit cardigans and fleece hooded sweatshirts. Accessories including flat caps and polka dot scarves will also be available. Retail prices start at £35 for a lightweight T-shirt to £350 for a woollen Crombie. Williams’s inspiration for the collection came from his granddad, Jack Farrell, and was created in homage to his style. Williams’s aim was to create a collection with a heritage feel combined with a modern style. The collection nods to Savile Row tailoring and branding and logos are kept discreet and on the inside of garments. It is unclear whether Farrell will be wholesaled or for how long the exclusivity period with House of Fraser and Shopdirect.com will last. In a statement the brand said: “Future collections will be available across Europe.” According to a source close to the brand, Williams has an active role in the business. It is the latest high-profile brand launch by House of Fraser which recently signed a deal with retail guru Mary Portas to create a collection for the department store, targeting women aged 40 and over.

June 17, 201114 yr http://www.heatworld.com/Entertainment/Mus...-are-gibberish/ Robbie admits his lyrics are 'gibberish' Posted by heatworld 17 June 2011 09:40 We love Robbie Williams, we really do. But he doesn't half talk a load of old tosh sometimes, doesn't he (testosterone injections chatter, anyone?)? And now he's admitted he knows he does it, particularly when he's writing lyrics to his songs - and most especially in his track Bodies. Writing in his blog, the Robster said, "If you've been following me closely, I've said Bodies was 'gibberish'. The gibberish I refer to is the Jesus bit. I mean, who the f*** am I?" And now, thanks to the Take That singer’s very open admission, he is now considering changing the actual words to his song - the 'Jesus didn't die for you' bit - because of his now found spirituality. He said, "I'm gutted though, 'cos singing that song now doesn't seem right... I may have to change the lyric for the next tour." :mellow: Blimey, he really has found God (and he’s thinking about the next tour :w00t: – but let’s not get too excited yet :nocheer: ). Thankfully, Rob's not changing everything else about himself and has goofing around like his usual self. So much so that he split his pants on stage while singing Let Me Entertain You a few days back, all because he got a bit too excited. "I got too excited and split my kecks," he declared to the audience. See, he hasn't changed. Robbie, you legend.
June 17, 201114 yr From http://www.heatworld.com/Celeb-News/2011/0...f-Drunken-Fans/ Robbie’s Dead Proud of Drunken Fans Posted by heatworld 17 June 2011 19:32 We always knew Robbie Williams was bound to ruffle a few feathers when he rejoined Take That. He played nicely for a little while and we were starting to get a bit worried that Rob the Reb had turned all grown-up and sensible like Gary Blahlow and the rest of the manband. But thankfully, it wasn’t long before he started talking crap at every opportunity and breaking free of his trousers onstage. And now the crazy-eyed singer has gone and put his foot in it by ‘endorsing binge drinking’. As we reported earlier in the week after going to see them ourselves, Take That are bringing out the inner hooligan in middle-aged women all over the country. Their last eight shows have led a path of drunken devastation through the North with nearly 160 fans being admitted to A & E, 10 of them being arrested and 65 old lushes being thrown out of Manchester’s Stadium of Light. Blimey. They’re even calling them the Ma-rmy Army. While this behaviour has been causing outrage amongst health officials, disapproving husbands and killjoys everywhere, the Robster, for one, is full of admiration for his wild fans. At the boys’ Cardiff gig on Tuesday, he declared, “We used to have the record for the number of girls fainting. Now we have the most middle aged, boozed-up women. They may talk about you in The Sun. They may talk about you on Loose Women. But I, Robbie Williams, am proud of you”. As if they needed any more encouragement.
June 18, 201114 yr From http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showb...t-I-needed.html Robbie was Joss what I needed ROBBIE WILLIAMS has been pulling out his best gags backstage on the TAKE THAT tour. He made it his mission to perk up JOSS STONE after her traumatic week. Robbie invited the singer to the band's gig in Cardiff on Thursday night after reading about the alleged plot to kidnap her. A source said: "Robbie and Joss have been mates for years. He got straight on the phone to see if she was OK and invited her to Wales. "She's still in shock but Robbie did his best to put a smile back on her face. His cheeky chappy side was in overdrive when they met up after the gig. "She was making light of it too, joking that it's been like an episode of Midsomer Murders." Two men have been charged with conspiracy to rob and plotting GBH with intent. Joss has been encouraged to carry on as normal but must have been chuffed to get away from Devon on a beano to Wales. She and Robbie have been pals since they duetted at the 2005 Brits. He is still very protective of her and no doubt did his Alan Partridge impressions in a bid to get a smirk out of her. Resting his dogs on his head is another of his trademark gags. :P But that's only funny if one follows through, surely?
June 20, 201114 yr Robbie Williams is right: Sex hormone really does work, say experts By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 7:34 AM on 20th June 2011 Testosterone treatment - as used by pop star Robbie Williams - really can help reverse the ageing process in men, according to a new study. The chart-topping singer, 37, has admitted injecting himself with the sex hormone twice a week in a bid to boost his sex drive and slow down the march of time. Robbie, who has rejoined his Take That band-mates for their sold-out Progress tour, was offered the treatment after doctors told him he had the sex drive of a 100-year-old man.

June 27, 201114 yr http://www.birminghammail.net/news/top-sto...97319-28949365/ THE Robbie Williams curry is returning to the menu at a Birmingham restaurant – just in case the superstar singer drops in for a meal while in the city for the Take That concerts. Robbie enjoyed a lamb balti with salad at Kababish in Jockey Road, Boldmere, Sutton Coldfield, when he played a solo show at the NEC in 2000. He liked it so much he took Spice Girl Geri Halliwell there on a return visit – and restaurant staff named the dish after him. Robbie told the Birmingham Mail he’d like his Take That bandmates to taste the dish when they’re in town for shows at Villa Park. Owner Sydd Sadiq said: “I’ve spoken to the chefs and we’re going to prepare the same meal Robbie had here last time just in case he drops in. “He had a lamb balti, but he was on a carb-free diet at the time so he had it with lots of salad. ‘‘We prepared the balti as we would normally do, then garnished it quite heavily with different salad leaves, sliced onions and tomatoes. He wanted plenty of those ingredients in there. “He thoroughly enjoyed it. Salad can be so boring, so why not have it in a balti?” Mr Sadiq added that if the band could not get to the restaurant, he and his staff were willing to deliver to Villa Park. “We may try to get hold of his tour manager to see if he would be happy for us to deliver.” But the restaurateur is considering asking for payment with tickets to the show. “They sold out so quickly none of my staff were able to get tickets.”
