Go find your Donny Osmond :wub: t shirt and scarf ready :yahoo:

I used to have a Donny Osmond pillow when I was about 8. :w00t:

 

 

By the way, did you see that part about William and Harry maybe joining TT for a dance routine? :wacko:

:lol: yep I saw that

 

am just trying to picture how that will look :blink:

 

It says some acts still to be announced just like it does on the live earth web site

Kind of leaving it a bit late to announce more I would of thought, I'll be gutted if

Robbie decides to play this one instead :(

 

Surely he wouldn't? Unless he's doing male lead in the ballet? :naughty:

 

I liked the line up for Live Earth. More guitary type bands. :cheer:

ok, another picture in my mind now aswell as the TT one

 

:unsure: Robbie in ballet tights :o

 

 

Big stars missing, superannundated stars performing... the ones in the line up will not be pleased

to hear that :huh: :lol:

I always thought putting the Diana concert that close to Live Earth can't be a good idea.

ROB'S NOT OUT OF PUFF

18 June 2007

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/news/tm_...-name_page.html

 

IT'S not the traditional warm-up for a footy match - at least not these days.

 

Angels singer Robbie Williams ignored a huge warning sign to have a fly puff before a game with his amateur side LA Vale at the weekend.

 

He set up the team for expats living, where else, in the City of Angels.

LOL he doesn't use shave cream. I remember him saying in one of the behind the scenes clips from the tour, I think before the Milan gig when he is shown shaving. He said he just uses a razor and water nothing else. I remember cringing as he shaved on bare skin :o OUCH !!!!!

 

My husband does the same thing :wub:

 

and what is a "fly puff"???

Robbie is going to a boxing match it appears ^_^

ONLY THING I FEAR IS CELEBRITY

 

Wednesday June 20,2007

By John Dillon

THE great fear of Ricky Hatton’s life is not of ­losing world title fights and his unbeaten boxing record. It is of losing touch with his roots.

 

He is here with his name lighting up the desert sky and The Strip again.

 

John Travolta, Robbie Williams and a first-class cabin full of Manchester United footballers are coming to watch him against Jose Luis Castillo on Saturday.

One of his sport’s true greats, Marco Antonio Barrera, will accompany him to the ring alongside Wayne Rooney, another serious mate. Even the death of Bernard Manning on Monday touched him ­particularly because they were good friends.

 

If there is to be a moment when the toxic effects of fame and fortune will be seen to have changed Hatton’s ordinary soul and sapped his spirited love for his game, this will be it. But it is impossible.

 

“I am paranoid that people will think I have changed,” said Hatton. “It will never ­happen. Not ever, I promise you. Not on your nelly. But I put so much pressure on myself about it. It really worries me.

 

“I am not here to crack America or anything like that. I didn’t come into boxing for fame and fortune. I did it because I want to win titles and fight the world’s best and attempt what the greats of the sport have done.

 

“I still do it because of that. If I could do it without the fame, I’d take that tomorrow. Some people crave it, but it does my head in. I am not a showbiz, red-carpet party merchant. I like a pint and a laugh with my mates.

 

“Even the fact I am renting a big house here worries me. But there are good training reasons for it. I would hate it so much if people thought I had become a Charlie Big B******s.”

 

The seductions of celebrity and wealth circle modern sportsmen voraciously. Even Hatton succumbed to hiring a private jet recently.

 

It troubled him, but he wished to attend his friend Rooney’s lavish party in Cheshire and honour a pledge to attend a charity ­function in Bournemouth on the same evening.

 

True to the knockabout nature of his life and the way he goes about his business, there was an ­ending which confirms Hatton is just not cut out to sashay with, say, the style of David Beckham.

 

Partial to a drink, he “had a few scoops at the Bournemouth do and then on the plane ride”.

 

“When I got to Wayne’s, the set-up was fantastic. A huge marquee, a funfair. I walked in, nodding and saying hello to everyone and then headed straight for the bar.

 

“I leant on it, like you do. It was made of ice. How was I supposed to know? I slid right along it and then hit the floor.

 

My girlfriend looked at me and just said, ‘Every time we go out...’.” Great phrase, that. “A few scoops”. It is not the

language of a man with a highly-calibrated marketing and branding plan.

 

They are the words of an old-school fighter whose heart remains in the New Inn in Hattersley. Here to do the job of retaining the IBO light-­welterweight belt.

 

The idea of British sportsmen ­coming to break America like The Beatles did is fashionable again. Beckham is off to Hollywood and the LA Galaxy. Lewis Hamilton zipped around Montreal and Indianapolis straight in to the hallowed pages of Sports Illustrated magazine.

 

It will take much more achievement to hoist them above ­novelty level here. Meanwhile, Hatton is happy his own fame is limited beyond the boxing fraternity, even if he can draw 8,000 fans from Britain across here.

 

“I bumped into Liam Gallagher in a pub in New York,” he said. “I did. Really. I introduced myself and asked him if he liked it in America. He said he loved it because he could just sit in the pub and go unrecognised by the locals.”

 

It is the ordinariness Hatton perceives in Rooney, who arrived here last night, which has made them firm friends.

 

A test of the perils of celebrity awaits Rooney. Americans won’t know him from John Doe. Hatton says he will be ­“astonished” if his mate turns up with a minder. But the city will be full of raucous English fans. He may be mobbed into hiding.

 

“Whatever attention I get, footballers get so much more,” Hatton added. “Especially Wayne. But he doesn’t want the limelight. That’s why we’ve hit it off. He just wants to be ordinary.”

 

The difference is that ­football’s massive marketing industry multiplies the profile of players like Rooney. And they hungrily take the rewards.

 

Hatton has not done much advertising work. He is too busy training and fighting or living it up in the pub afterwards. He is too old-fashioned, in the most honourable sense of the phrase.

 

It is not going to change. Not even here along the most ­dazzling, alluring, trap-laden street in the world.

Robbie Williams and Max Beesley on the ball in LA

20 JUNE 2007

Hello Magazine

The 33-year-old singer proved he's still top of his game at the weekend, showing off his fancy footwork during a match with LA Vale. Set up by Robbie in 2005 the team is named after his homeland favourites - Stoke-On-Trent's Port Vale

His formidable music career means Robbie Williams is more than used to scoring in the charts. The former Take That star has been triumphing in a completely different field lately, however, going from Top Of The Pops to top of the league with his US football team LA Vale. The hunky Hollywood resident and his American and expat teammates currently hold the coveted number one ranking in the amateur Los Angeles premiere league.

 

The side - set up by footie-mad Robbie in 2005 and named after his beloved English favourites Stoke-On-Trent's Port Vale - certainly looked the part when they took to a Santa Monica pitch for a match against rivals Penmar this week. Vale's strip, which comprises a white T-shirt and black shorts, is almost identical to the home colours worn by the UK team.

 

And boosting the British quotient was special guest player Max Beesley, Robbie's visiting Talk To Me actor pal. The pair - who met when they were teenagers and cemented their friendship touring together in Robbie's Take That days - clearly still make a winning team.

Despite the team's success, captain Robbie is on the lookout for new recruits. The 33-year-old recently placed an ad in an LA newspaper asking "serious ballers" aged between 18 and 35 to get in touch. Perhaps he's looking to beef up his side in case fellow Brit David Beckham challenges them to a friendly kick about when he arrives next month to play for major league soccer team LA Galaxy

Robbie Williams, hangin’ at Shane West’s birthday party Saturday night at Ritual here in Hell-Ay. The recently rehabbed Brit looked a bit tired but musta been in a good mood, 'cause he didn’t even get mad when a gal accidentally spilled an entire drink all over him. Oops! Other hearty partiers at the bash included Shanna Moakler, pretty in a bright-green frock, and Benjamin McKenzie, spotted dirty dancing with a few femmes.

 

 

 

 

( Who's Shane West? :unsure: )

 

Looks like he's definitely going to the Ricky Hatton fight tomorrow :o

 

http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,4-2007280840,00.html

 

 

The stars are out in force for Hatton’s fight with LUIS CASTILLO on Saturday – ROBBIE WILLIAMS, RIO FERDINAND and JOHN TRAVOLTA are all expected.

 

Organisers want Robbie in the ring to sing.

 

But his spokesman said: “He will definitely be at the fight but nothing else is confirmed yet.”

STAR WARS

ROBBIE v LIAM

23 June 2007

 

ONE of the longest running feuds in showbiz history began when Liam Gallagher from Oasis called Robbie Williams "Tubby-a***d Williams" in 1999, while brother Noel christened him "The fat dancer from Take That".

 

Robbie hit back by sending the band a funeral wreath after their album Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants flopped.

 

Then it really was handbags at dawn, when Robbie offered to fight Liam in a boxing match at the 2000 Brit Awards.

 

With uncharacteristic sense, Liam refused, although he did get his own back by going out with Robbie's ex Nicole Appleton.

 

However, the insults continued when Robbie cheekily invited Oasis to support him during his sell-out gigs at Knebworth, while Liam said he hoped the Stoke-born singer would fall flat on his face at Live 8.

 

 

Robbie's biggest swipe at Liam has come with the release of his album Intensive Care. One track is rumoured to be about his relationship with Nicole - and reveals details about their sex life.

 

Anticipating Liam's reaction, Robbie said: "It'll fry the balding, pot-bellied bloke's head in."
