Heidi must have a very big gob if there was room for a whole Mars Bar. :lol:

 

 

Still, at least Sven has forgiven her. No doubt the mega-cheque from the Papers eased his pain somewhat. :rolleyes:

5000 extra tickets for Robbie gig

 

 

MORE than 5000 extra tickets are to go on sale for superstar Robbie Williams' Hampden gigs.

Final agreement on the stage design means 55,000 fans will be able to pack the Glasgow stadium for the sell-out shows on September 1 and 2.

Today's news is certain to spark a mad scramble for the tickets when they go on sale on Friday.

 

 

Well they better not block my view....... ;)

This article is in German but if you 'right click' when the page loads you can choose a 'translate this page into English' option.

 

It translates gobbledegook (naturally) but you get the gist of things.

 

 

In short, Robbie has disappeared up to his Hotel room with yet another female. A singer this time. But they just talked so there was no Mars Bar or Knicker Framing.

 

Heidi the Hairdresser will be gutted...... ;)

ROB'S GOT TINY ONE

Eva Simpson & Caroline Hedley

PET Shop Boy Neil Tennant has confirmed what we always knew about Robbie Williams - this singer has a very short, in fact, a tiny - attention span.

 

The pair have been holed up in the studio with the PSBs tweaking Robbie's Rudebox album while he sings on their disc Concert, a live CD.

 

Neil, 52, sighed: "He does have a short attention span. He'll do anything rather than rehearse." The pair are also ironing out plans for a supergroup with camp comic David Walliams.

 

 

"We've known Robbie since he was 17," added Neil. "After Take That we used to see him at the Groucho Club getting as wrecked as possible.

 

 

"Then we bumped into him with David and he said 'Hey, let's form a supergroup!"

 

 

Better stick that on a Post It note on the fridge Rob!

Robbie afraid to train with Bayern, coach says

Wed Aug 9, 2006 7:34am ET

 

 

BERLIN (Reuters) - British pop star Robbie Williams did not take up an invitation to take part in a training session with German soccer club Bayern Munich, Bayern coach Felix Magath said.

 

The singer's management had told the club he was interested in training while he was in Germany on a world concert tour.

 

Bayern invited Williams to join in on any one of three training sessions last week in Munich and hordes of photographers and fans showed up to watch but the singer failed to appear.

 

"Evidently he was afraid in the end to come out and practice with us," Magath told Wednesday's edition of the Passauer Neue Presse newspaper.

 

 

 

"Maybe he heard from someone that the coach in Munich is a bit tough. He then perhaps decided: 'No, that's a bit much for me. I want to be able to finish my concert tour in one piece."' :thumbup:

 

Williams, who has the same German mobile phone company as Bayern Munich as a sponsor, is a keen soccer player and hurt his wrist badly while training with a regional league club during a stay in Berlin last year.

 

 

Well, it was nothing but rain in Munich when Rob was there. I wouldn't have wanted to take part in the training either. :lol:

Thats good news :cheer:

 

Bananarama at number one :blink: didnt realise they were still going

anyone game on letting Victoria Newton know. :dance:

 

Now that would be fun! :lol:

 

She wouldn't print it anyway. Today it's far more important to her to let the public know that Rob smells of fags ... (according to Diana, that German girl who Rob chatted with in his hotel room)

Justin Timberlake and Robbie Williams, readers. One's a curly-mopped beanpole from across the 'pond', the other is Stoke's answer to Tigger.

 

They also happen to be two of pop's biggest ex-boyband successes. And they're both releasing rather trendy minimal 'electronic' singles at about the same time (ish). Justin's is the smouldering 'SexyBack' (are space bars like, not rock'n'roll any more or what?) and Robbie's the, er, lovely 'Rudebox'.

 

What we wanted to know, as we gathered around the water cooler / the stereo / the bit by the bins, was this: out of the two singles, which is best? We decided by having a good old fashioned (mass) debate…

 

 

 

In the red corner!

 

 

Justin Timberlake 'SexyBack' (Jive)

Released: August 28

Number of different notes played in entire song: Two.

Sample lyric: "I'm bringin' sexy back / Motherf*cker don't know how to act."

 

 

In the blue corner!

 

Robbie Williams 'Rudebox' (EMI)

Released September 4

Sounds like: Sly & Robbie's 'Boops (Here To Go)' meets Tetris.

Sample lyric: "Up your jacksie and split your kecks."

 

 

Let the debate commence!

 

» "I didn't mind 'Rudebox' until I realised it was Robbie and now I hate it."

Robbie -1, Justin 0

 

» "'Sexyback' actually sounds sexy, where as the word 'rudebox' is just...well... a bit stupid really."

Robbie -2, Justin 1

 

» "Both song are about rumpo but where as it's easy to see Justin as sexy, Robbie is anything but. He looks like a tattooed McCoy's crinkle cut."

Robbie -3, Justin 2

 

» "The Justin track is a perfect club tune as well as well as a great radio track. Robbie just doesn't have a voice that would make you want to dance."

Robbie -4, Justin 3

 

» "My brother's step-daughter is going to be sorely disappointed when she sees Robbie going electropop at Milton Keynes. Actually she probably won't and she'll have learned the 'Rudebox' dance too, which is a worry."

Robbie -5, Justin 3

 

» "At this stage in Robbie's career I'd rather listen to a $h!t but interesting single than a good but boring single."

Robbie -4, Justin 3

 

» "The Justin single is amazing - second only to 'Maneater' as the song of the year."

Robbie -4, Justin 4

 

» "Both are kind of need of a melody though (i.e. their own rather than Sly & Robbie's). Robbie's rapping is rubbish too."

Robbie -5, Justin 3

 

» "'Rudebox' has probably the most unsexy lyrics ever, for a song about having it off. It doesn't make me want to do 'it' with him."

Robbie -6, Justin 3

 

» "Robbie's saving grace with the song is that it doesn't sound like him. I actually quite like it. I imagine that the lady cuckolded housewives who listen to his usual claptrap will say things like, 'Oh I'm not sure about this one.' But they don't deserve opinions so balls to them."

Robbie -5, Justin 3

 

» "'SexyBack' is soooo good. Justin's voice is brilliant as ever and the track is smouldering!"

Robbie -5, Justin 4

 

» "Justin feels a little bit like a half-hearted 'Dirrty' to me though. Something about it leaves me a little cold and suspicious."

Robbie -5, Justin 3

 

» "I do agree that it's slightly overlong, but when you're very drunk and flinging yourself around a dancefloor to it (as I did last week)..."

Robbie -5, Justin 4

 

» "The whole minimal thing is fine but you have to find a way to make it exciting and good. 'Sexyback' is the better track by far but it's still a bit boring. Oh god, they've both melded into one in my mind now. "

Robbie -6, Justin 3

 

» "I really like Justin's because it's exciting and immediate. The more I listen to Robbie's, the more I think, 'Aren't there asylums for people like you?'"

Robbie -7, Justin 4

 

 

Ding ding!

 

Seconds out etc etc. And the scores on the doors are:

 

Robbie: a rather shameful MINUS 7.

Justin: a rosy-cheeked and triumphant 4!

 

We declare Justin the winner, and now we're all off to buy backless tops which we can wear while swearing in a husky voice. Hurrah!

Slobby Williams

 

 

Ever wondered what someone as famously charming as Robbie Williams uses for a chat-up line? Well, if German singer Diana Sorbello's experience is anything to go by, he likes to talk about his mum. Sexy, eh?

 

Diana apparently got chatting to Rob in his hotel last weekend, and he invited her up to his suite for...well...actually we're not entirely sure what for...

 

She explained to the Evening Standard: "I spent three hours talking with him in his presidential suite. Everything was really slovenly, like an uncleaned students' dorm. On the table were 10 full cigarette packets. Under the table was a mountain of beach and training shoes."

 

"He told me his parents were divorced, that he has a better relationship with his mum and he showed me his tattoo saying 'Mother'...Every 15 minutes or so he told me how pretty I was but nothing more."

 

And yes, that clearly IS his idea of smoochy talk. Just as well he's a looker, eh? Mind you, Diana doesn't really come out of this whole no-kiss-and-tell scenario too well either.

 

She added: "I only laughed at his compliments. He wasn't wearing any scent but he smelled strongly of cigarettes. He was the opposite of what I expected. I thought he would be fighting off girls by the dozen but he was like the boy next door. He said he would contact me. Sadly, he hasn't done that yet."

 

Yeah, and he must SO be kicking himself about that right now, young missy...

 

 

At least he didnt present her with a mars bar so am guessing he must of liked her ;)

Maybe the opposite. Maybe it's only the ones he really likes who get Mars Bars. Why waste choccy on dames he don't like? ^_^

hadnt thought of that ;)

 

and he does admit to being a chocoholic, so suppose he would think very serious about who he gives his choccy away to
