I love the She's Madonna & YKM look laugh.gif

Thanks too!

Yes...

This lady from YKM is ex-model from Playboy and good friend of one friend of mine. So it was nice to give us some beauty just for free =)

Regarding She's Madonna... Yes, I remeber that I bought that wig in our theater's shop while also bought that dress... you know what... I even tried it on myself to be sure it would fit the person who played Robbie in a video )) while and my friend (he's a Supreme hero) also made a transfer sticker that we pasted on chest...

 

SO yes, She's Madonna shoot was great like the original :)

On twitter some headlines pop up that Rob would drop the dance album. Is that out of context or true? Anyone knows if he has said something like that?

I think the SUN/Mirror just took a piece from what Rob said to Annie Mac in her podcast where he was telling the Ibiza experience & ran with it as a story. No official indication yet that there will not be an album, it's all a bit confusing. All we know now for certain is that there is going to be an album in Spring of 2023 which I guess will be around the same time as Betterman being released & the Netflix series as well.

There's a lot of new, fresh stuff to look forward to Tess :yahoo:

“It sounds good, one that I got here when I tried desperately not to, and the other one is to know that I have left no stone unturned. I tried everything and I achieved way more than I could ever have imagined. So I can look back at my half century on the planet with pride.”

 

 

Robbie Williams says ‘I’m on my best behaviour’ since becoming dad and husband. “Now I’m on my best behaviour because I have to be on my best behaviour. I have to make better decisions because people rely on me, and those people love me, so it’s a lot easier to make those decisions because they exist.”

Superstar singer Robbie Williams says finding love with his wife Ayda has been the key to his personal happiness.

The former wild man, who dabbled with drugs and experienced addiction and mental health issues in his early career, is a happily married dad of four these days.

 

In a wide-ranging interview with the Sunday World on Zoom, where he also chats about the late Joe Dolan, his triumph at Slane Castle and Irish fans, Williams pays tribute to his American-born actress wife Ayda Field. “My Ayda, my betrothed,” he smiles on screen when I mention her. “It’s been incredible doing interviews and being asked about her and saying such lovely things about her, and being able to go home to her and let her know and have that feeling that I’m with someone really special.” Clearly besotted with Ayda, Robbie goes on to say how he now lives for his wife and children, Teddy (nine), Charlie (seven), Coco (three) and Beau (two).

 

“I have purpose in my life,” he explains. “And I have a reason to do everything, whereas before I didn’t know what the purpose was. I didn’t know what the reason was. I was just getting in a car and turning up and dancing around walls in hotels and going and experiencing these extreme shots of emotion in front of tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people. “Now I’m on my best behaviour because I have to be on my best behaviour. I have to make better decisions because people rely on me, and those people love me, so it’s a lot easier to make those decisions because they exist.”

 

Now celebrating 25 years as a solo artist with the release of XXV, featuring orchestrated versions of his hits and fan favourites, Robbie admits he never imagined that by 2022 he’d be married with four kids. “I think that if you’d have said in 1997 ‘you are about to sell 80-something million albums and be in a monogamous marriage and be together with your partner for 17 years, I wouldn’t have known which one sounded the most mental.” In show business it’s no mean feat staying married that long. “Yeah, it’s dog years,” he says. “There should be a plaque outside of our bedroom.”

 

Robbie acknowledges that he feels fortunate to have had an amazing career and lifestyle. “I’ve been lucky enough and fortunate enough to make some decisions to create something that far exceeds anything that anybody of my lineage since the dawn of time have managed to do. It’s f**king incredible!”

 

It’s like a movie. “Yeah it is, yeah,” he says. And, actually, it’s going to be a movie. “Yeah it will be,” he says, referring to the upcoming Netflix documentary on his life that covers everything from his Take That days to his struggle with addiction and recovery.

 

Are you far into that? “Yeah, there’s still a few things left to film,” Robbie says. “It’s quite an interesting thing to happen. People have to die to watch their life back with Saint Peter at the pearly gates. I get to do it while I’m still here.”

 

You have dealt with all kinds of issues, but you’ve come through it. “Yeah,” he acknowledges, adding, “there is always a ticket back to that place for people like me. As it happens, so far today I have made some really good choices.”

 

Robbie will play three nights at Dublin’s 3Arena, October 29-30 and November 1, and he says he’s proud to be still selling out shows at he gets close to 50 years old.

 

“It sounds good, one that I got here when I tried desperately not to, and the other one is to know that I have left no stone unturned. I tried everything and I achieved way more than I could ever have imagined. So I can look back at my half century on the planet with pride.”

 

ROBBIE’S BIGGEST WORRY IN SLANE

 

ROBBIE Williams says he feared being pelted with “bottles of p*ss” when he supported The Verve at Slane Castle back in 1998. “It’s a different time now, but the energy and the way of feeling and thinking was different back in the day. "It was definitely a them against us. And there was ‘us’ that was the indie community, and the ‘them’ which was the pop community – and I was expecting resentment [from The Verve fans] or bottles of p*ss being thrown, but there was nothing but love. It was a pivotal moment in my fledgling career.”

 

The Manic Street Preachers were also on the bill that day.

 

“I remember the Manic Street Preachers coming on after me and people still chanting my name,” Robbie recalls. “For somebody that was in a lilywhite boyband that wasn’t very respected by their peers, to actually come off stage and have somebody like the Manic Street Preachers go on after you and they’d be chanting your name… as you can imagine that’s a big f***ing moment. The Irish fans have a different energy”

I am wondering why there had been no pictures about the birthday if Teddy who at the end celebrated her 10th birthday.

Do you think it was because of the Queen's funeral? Or are they on their way to Australia?

Yes the AFL final is in 5 days time so maybe all headed there, I do not know really :unsure:

Excuse me, Robbie Williams, there’s nothing wrong with being a ‘has-been’

The singer says he is too fragile to have coped with sliding into obscurity but is that really so bad?

 

 

Whenever I feel glum that I am not an era-defining musician, actor or novelist (and never will be), I remember that it’s never a good thing to be an era-defining anything because when that era is over, so are you. Winston Churchill was voted out in 1945, despite his big Second World War win, because the country wanted to move on from the whole sorry business. Robin Thicke was the most famous man in the world for about a month with his smash hit “Blurred Lines”, but was tidal-waved into oblivion by an era-end to end all era-ends: the #MeToo movement. You have to be hardcore to subvert the cast-iron rule about public life, which is that when the record changes and everyone is dancing to a different tune, you are toast. You are as over as skinny jeans. To survive, you either have to be propped up by an organisation (the Royal Family, the BBC), be a nailed-on genius (Madonna, Beyoncé) or slam-dunk a great comeback (Robert Downey Jr, John Travolta).

 

It’s a precarious business, as comments this week from Robbie Williams, the comeback kid himself, show. Speaking to the BBC on the release of his album XXV, which marks his 25 years as a solo artist, Williams said, “My big feeling is, my best years professionally could have been from when I was 16 to 21 when I was in Take That.” And it’s true, even with the best will in the world and a strong work ethic, you cannot force success. Yes, you have to work, but luck plays a huge part. Geri Halliwell, a ferociously hard worker with a strong team behind her, couldn’t get anything more off the ground than a cover of “It’s Raining Men”.

 

“I know how brittle my ego is,” continued Williams, “and I know how fragile I am as a human being and to be a has-been… or whatever it was that would have happened to me after Take That… I’m incredibly grateful that the ship still goes forward. That’s it.” His quote kind of tails off and he interrupts his own thoughts, but we know what he means. He is saying that he is too fragile to have coped with sliding into obscurity. Here we ought to stop and applaud whichever therapist or life coach Robbie has consulted. To talk in such a self-aware way and even refer to being “grateful” without resorting to the waffly nonsense we hear so often from public figures is a huge achievement in itself.

 

Is it really so bad to be a has-been? I don’t think all “has-beens” think about themselves in that way. Is even the phrase “has-been” wrong? Some era-defining public figures may well lament the lack of limelight. But perhaps others looked at what celebrity makes you give and reckoned that it was knackering and poisonous. Many were probably happy to segue into a different, possibly more fulfilling and less psychologically damaging career.

The more I think about it, the more I think that “has-been” is possibly little more than a derogatory term used by music and marketing executives to bully their exhausted cash-cows back onto the stage (“You’ve got to keep working, or you’ll be a has-been”), by the same executive types reaching for an excuse not to hire someone (“She’s kind of a has-been”) or by journalists about literally anyone when they are feeling bitchy.

 

The fact that we are willing to dismiss anyone who is no longer headlining at Glastonbury or in Hollywood movies as a “has-been”, when there are so many hundreds of different ways to live a full life, is so telling about how dunderheaded we are about fame, about how we refuse to see it as anything other than an ultimate prize. The clue here – the clue to all fame-seeking, really – is in Williams’s acknowledgement of his “brittle ego” and personal fragility. The same vulnerability that drove him onto the stage in the first place – to try to fill the empty space inside with the faces of a million screaming fans – is the reason he feared so much being a “has-been” and therefore lashed himself through another quarter century of rehearsals, photoshoots, interviews and performances.

 

Having said all that, he sounds pretty happy. But I’m sure Jason and Howard are fine, too.

this is an interesting opinion

I was very surprised how well this band did their work for Robbie.

Looked like they know and understand to each other for ages.

Perfect work for musicians, of course.

 

For me this performance of the same level as Live 8.

The band/dancers were really well rehearsed by the look of things & Rob just slotted in beautifully & performed out of his skin. As a performance it rates very highly for me . I am pretty sure Rob had planned that thoroughly with the Ausie team before he even got there , he had very little time for rehearsal but it worked perfectly . The camera work was even very good. Loved the whole thing. He also managed to get his promo for his tour done at the same time .

 

 

Not sure what the jumper with the Bunny & the swimming pool is hinting at , has the Come Undone feel about it but in a different way :lol:

I would like to have that. The ZEIT is a very good German (normally political conservative) broadsheet newspaper. Very intellectual. Wonder what caused them to feature Robbie.

I think that is a cracking photo :wub:

Is Rob wearing a pin striped suit with flared trousers -_-

I changed the name of the thread (previous was What's Happening).

While we also have Daily New it looked almost the same.

 

Now we can use it for newspapers, covers, etc.

More media than news.
