Robbie: Big Brother 'like looking at mental patients'

 

27/08/2006 - 10:52:25 AM

 

Pop star Robbie Williams has hit out at reality television shows for manipulating people with mental health problems.

 

The Feel singer enjoys watching programmes like American Idol and The X Factor, which features wannabe singers, but feels that other reality hits are simply exploiting vulnerable people for entertainment value.

 

Williams is particularly disturbed by British show Love Island, which features single celebrities trying to find love on a Fijian paradise isle.

 

Williams said: "I'll watch any old s***, but I refused to watch Big Brother this year because it's like looking at mental patients.

 

"Same with Love Island - it's human beings having nervous breakdowns in front of the whole nation. Some things should be kept at home.

 

"If you had put me in Love Island after I'd just left Take That, then I would have been f**ked - I'd be crying all the time too." :(

 

 

I think Robbie is right .......that's the reason i never watch those kind of programs <_<

Scotty and Jupiter I am having technical problems with my pc and I am using a friends, so I am timed out now. I put this up on therobbiewilliamssite there are a couple of others too so I chose the more interesting article (for me anyway) to put here. Thats what happened to me yesterday too. :D

 

SEE ROB IN ALL HIS GLORY

Robbie William's Close Encounters tour has already wowed most of Europe and is about to arrive in the UK. His Leeds performance on Sept 9 will be the first gig to be broadcast live in HD.

 

High Definition or HD TV launced here just before the World Cup and the 1.5 million Sky customer with access to it ooh-ed and ah-ed about the increased contrast, the depth of field and the vibrant colours.

 

A footie match is one thing, a pop concert another. For a start, we don't demand that our sportsmen look sexy while doing their jobs. Its brave of Robbie to be the first to go live on HD as it's renowed for showing up every detail including wrinkes, blemishes and every bead of sweat. One wonders if Madonna, for example, would open herself up to quite so much scrutiny.

 

HD converts are prone to talking about how much closer it is to actually being there. Watching sport, it becomes immediately apparent that the crowd is no longer a blur but a huge collection of indiviual faces. For Robbie's Leeds gig, anyone watching with friends in the crowd might be able to pick them out, while a special "Robbie Cam" will allow viewer to share the star's view at the touch of a button.

 

Robbie will be giving a practised performance from Roundhay Park. The Close Encounters tour is his biggest to date and the European leg alone comprises of 44 performances in 14 different countries. Keeping it all running smoothly is an enormous operation, with 215 people working full time. I takes 24hrs to put the stage together: each of two stel structures that "leapfrog" each other to alternate locations needs 14 or 15 lorries to transport it, yet the stage and its elaborate network of catering tnts, dressing room and offices is usually packed up and ready to go by 4am after a concert.

 

They have to be prepared for any eventuality. Wob Roberts, who has been Robbie's production manager for his entire solo career, says that since the concerts are outside, bad weather is a constant threat. The stage has an industrial non-slip floor so, even if it rains Robbie, the band and his dancers can move freely without fear of slipping.

 

The specially-designed stage includes three big video screens as well as hundreds of little ones, a catwalk into the crowd and plenty of pyrotechnics. Wob says: "We make it look as good as possible and then waterproof everything we have to. The lighting and video control equipment can't get wet but little things like musicians are fairly waterproof anyway!".

 

Behind the stage is a hive of activity and six generators power the spectacle. According to Wob: "These would more or less power Letchworth". Its a tiring business being on the road. Because of the scale of the operation its not economical to stop for a break, so the juggernauts rumble on relentlessly. It's imporant that everyone keeps as healthy and happy as possible so everything runs smoothly. There are two people whose job it is just to look after dressing rooms. Robbie apparently favours warm colours like brown and red with plenty of candles, so that we can relax before a show.

 

Wob says it's unusual for things to go quite as smoothly as they have so far. "It's un-newsworthy but we're having a nice tour" he says. "Although, in the world of rock 'n' roll, that is newsworthy".

 

Team spirit is important and Robbie insists on a "huddle" before each performance, although Wob explains that it now has to take place backstage for reasons of space. "We used to have it on the stage but a huddle is communal and anyon who's around gets involved. It got silly when we had 30 people in the huddle for a six piece band".

 

Although the huge stage and the bustling, temporary village that springs up around is a far cry from most people's idea of the average working environment, Wob insists there are similarities. "like any office, we like to have a joke and wind each other up" he says.

 

Robbie On The Road: We Are Not Alone, will be shown on Sky One on September 9 at 8pm followed by the Leeds concert at 9pm on Sky One and Sky One HD

Kate Moss crowned as Britain's best hat wearer Aug 28 2006

 

KATE Moss has been named Britain's best celebrity hat wearer.

 

The supermodel regularly tops off her outfits with a trilby.

 

She recently sported a cream fedora to the wedding of Primal Scream singer Bobby Gillespie.

 

But her boyfriend Pete Doherty, another trilby fan, was beaten to the male crown by pop star Robbie Williams.

 

Philip Wright of milliners Walter Wright said, "A hat is the final statement in personal style and to be recognised as one of the nation's most stylish hat wearers is an accolade for individuality and distinction."

 

 

Last year's winners were royal Zara Phillips and Sir Elton John.

 

 

Moss and Williams were chosen by consortium Luton First to promote the town's reputation as the centre of hat-making.

 

A spokesman said, "Kate manages to wear the most elaborate and extravagant millinery designs with great confidence and aplomb and, most importantly, without the hat seemingly wearing her.

 

 

"She has the face to launch a thousand hat collections and has done much to promote hat wearing in recent years."

 

 

As for Williams, "He doesn't take fashion too seriously and appears to treat clothes as a bit of fun."
