Posted August 26, 200618 yr Just watched the first show of this Europe v USA Golf Tourney from Celtic Manor in Wales. Last year Robbie was there watching it. Bet he turns up again this year. Johnny is doing some course commentary and a lot of Robbie's Soccer Aid Teammates are also taking part in this. Plus Ant and Dec are hosting. And he has a few days off before next gig. I'm going to watch it tomorrow to see if he's about.
August 27, 200618 yr Tee-mendous show at Manor icWales SUPERSTAR Robbie Williams got into the swing last night at a star-studded golf dinner in Wales. Taking time out between tour dates in the UK, the singer landed at the Celtic Manor Resort by helicopter to meet up with pals Ant and Dec, who are hosting this weekend's All*Star Cup. A celebrity version of the Ryder Cup, Europe is represented by veteran entertainer Bruce Forsyth, ex-EastEnder Ross Kemp, former Boyzone singer Ronan Keating and DJ Chris Evans while America's team features actress Jane Seymour, man mountain Meat Loaf, Hollywood actor William Baldwin, rocker Alice Cooper and Dallas' Patrick Duffy. The showbiz dinner signalled the starting gun for the two-day tournament, although the stars warmed up yesterday with a practice round at the Newport course. Laughing off rumours he is planning to get back with ex-wife Billie Piper, ginger Radio 2 DJ Evans said his side were ready to repeat Europe's win last year, which saw Catherine Zeta Jones up against hubby Michael Douglas. "It's very important we win, because the winners have the best parties," said Chris. "I know the Americans have brought a stronger team this year because they really want to win. I'm looking forward to spanking their a**es!" And to make sure he has the best chance, Chris whisked his cousin Max Evans in from Portugal to be his caddy. Meanwhile, quiz show king Brucie had the press pack in stitches yesterday when he revealed he was looking forward to a "Good game, good game!". The Strictly Come Dancing host also poked fun at pint-sized tournament commentator Ronnie Corbett, saying he would like to put him in his golf bag. He also prayed Corbett was not planning to take too long with his commentary. And the oldest swinger in town proved that youth counted for little as he won the nearest-the-pin competition. Bruce, the most senior competitor in the tournament at 78, pipped the whippersnappers on the European and American teams to land his ball within nine feet of the hole. He picked up a £10,000 diamond but will donate the gem to charity. Despite practising, Ultimate Force actor Ross Kemp admitted he was fearing a case of the golfer's yips. "I'm nervous. I'm no great golfer but I'm here to enjoy myself," he said. But Chris consoled him, saying: "Nerves can be good if you don't know what is going to happen. It's good to be nervous." American team player Patrick Duffy revealed his tactics with tongue-firmly-in cheek, saying: "I intend to put the little round ball in the little round hole." Coverage of the All*Star Cup today and tomorrow is on ITV1 & ITV2, starting at 3pm.
August 27, 200618 yr Author It said in the News of the Screws today that Robbie is/was in Ibiza. He was spotted at Club Pacha (or something). He sure gets around. :huh: Thought he was in Wales? :unsure:
August 28, 200618 yr Author No. I am going skelly eyed trying to scan the crowd. :wacko: He won't be in the crowd though. He would get mobbed. I reckon he's in the clubhouse and will appear on the balcony at the 18th. <_<
