Actually now that you mention shoes ........ :rofl: He's wearing his boots there so could be that he played.

Oh Scotty, LOL I've never heard of that logic before but in some strange way it does make sense :wacko: :lol: But really, Rob always looks tired. Personally I like the way he has his hair in those pictures, all floppy and mussied up :wub: Scotty, I think the picture before the ones in the footie kit were from a while ago when his hair was longer. His hair now is quite short and he doesn't keep it all fluffy like in that picture. Trust me, I had an up close and personal inspection :wub: :) He looks positively smokin' in those pictures even when he's not smokin' :lol:

Very well written article there. Every craploid 'journalist' and critic should be forced to read it .... not to mention the general public and some TT fans as well. Scotty, you're the king of stats

They may read it but will it get through their thick skulls :rolleyes: Well done Scotty on annoying the 3am bitches

Now see the picture that they should have used from She's Madonna should have been the one of him in the suit, looking in the mirror wig off but with his make up still on. Now that picture is hot, the one they have of him sitting - not so much.

Ummm ... why is his dad blogging ?? :lol: I haven't watched it yet, but I assume its Rob's dad talking ?

My response to all this ...... :rolleyes: :puke2: :puke: :lame: Considering that Barlow and the rest of TT have done nothing but fuel the will he/won't he speculation all by themselves, I do wonder why Barlow all of a sudden now has decided to 'set the record straight'. But the thing that really pisses me off is that he has all but set it up for the press in their usual angle - Robbie snubs TT ... once again :rolleyes: There are many ways he could have said that Rob won't be appearing with them on tour, other than saying that Rob does not want to and won't be joining them. That, imo, makes Rob look all the worse in this whole thing especially as the press are already on the Robbie snubbed TT tangent. If they met up, great, I'm glad they have come to some understanding although I doubt its being 'good buds' again :lol: :rolleyes: I just can't understand why Barlow has even commented about the meeting other than name dropping to get a write up and get people talking again. When is their tour kicking off again ?? It must be soon because from the looks of it the publicity machine is cranking up, with Barlow giving the big first crank :zzz:

It would be easy to avoid the press and not let it bug me if they didn't have such a huge effect on public opinion and everything else, but unfortunately, they do effect his career and his album sales. I suppose its not that good to focus on sales but it is still how a career or success is measured. There are people who will listen to the press and not buy the album because they said its no good rather than base their opinion on actually hearing the album. I think Rudebox proved that. Yes the album is very different to his previous work and it won't be to everyone's tastes, but there were loads of people that didn't give the album or single for that matter, a chance just based on what was said in the press and I'm talking about the tabloids because no matter how good the reviews were for Rudebox in the trade press, sadly not many people actually read those magazines. The thing with Rob is that the press are just against him period, no matter how good or bad the album is or how much it sells. I'm sure even if the next album is a HUGE seller by RW standards, because it seems that's how anything is measured now, there will still be a lot of negativity. Ofcourse it will help if the album is mega successful but at this point, seeing how Rob's sales are viewed against other artists, it will be a difficult course. I'm sure by some standards no matter how successful the album is it will still be considered as underperforming by some people some place.

I keep all the calendars too :D I can't bring myself to throw out anything with Rob's picture on it :wacko:

I care and I don't care what they say. Personally I don't care as long as I enjoy what Rob puts out no matter who he writes with or what is said about it ... but on the other hand, I do care, because the dumb ass critics and craploids influence people's opinions and sadly people do believe everything they read or hear in the media. I'd just like Rob to get his due respect and acknowledgement as the brilliant songwriter he is in his own right without all the credit going to Guy or anyone else for that matter.

Yes Rob's most successful album to date was without Guy, yes he's received criticism and negativity for everything under the sun and always will, and yes if he comes back mega successful hopefully some of that negativity will stop and the nay sayers will have to eat their words ... BUT, if he comes back with a successful Guy collaborated lead off single, it will again be Guy comes to the rescue and Rob can't get a hit or be successful without him, no matter how well IC has done. And we all know the general public has no long term memory and will believe whatever they are fed from the craploids and critics alike. I'd love to hear what they have come up with but I hope that the first single will not have Guy included so that Rob can show he can do it without him ... and I hope there's only a couple of songs with Guy not the majority of the album. Ofcourse regardless of how many different people Rob collaborates with on the album, its success, will no doubt be all due to Guy being on it and that is the only thing that turns me off Rob working with Guy again.

I love the cover picture on the official and actually they've used some good shots in it although I'd rather they use the cover picture for one of the months instead of the Elvis pose :rolleyes: I'm odd in that I actually like looking at his face all month long :P

Yeah that song actually got me excited about a swing album :o

With all due respect and I have none towards them 3 am wenches, they really should get up to date. That clip was from a game about a month ago, July 6th to be exact. His knee and his rib, I'm sure are better now ;) As for Rob and Becks on Desperate Housewives ... that would be the only thing to get me to watch the show :lol:

Yeah but I'm leaning more towards Gemma :lol:

LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!! Their voices sound so good together, they blend perfectly. I love Rob's voice, there's something very calming about it and its just so perfect for swing B)

Huh ?! They make it sound like it happened just recently. Rob met Slash in 2002 if I'm not mistaken or around that time so Rob going into rehab has nothing to do with anything. I believe Rob was sober when he met him but understandably Slash's lifestyle may not have been comfortable for Rob so that's most probably why he stayed away.

Exactly. I think we should all say a little thank you that he does have LA Vale otherwise I doubt we'd see any of him. Football may not be to everyone's tastes, and I get that, but honestly he's not even playing he's just commenting so I really don't see why some are moaning about it. Its not like he would be touring or performing otherwise so really we are lucky that he does have Vale and we get to see him and what he's up to and get a little glimpse inside his house as well, which he doesn't have to do. Not many artists (if any at all) invite their fans into their home. He's great for doing that As for the shaving .... eeeeeeek !!!! it makes me cringe every time :huh:

Great finds Scotty, thanks !!!!! Oh how I love Rudebox. I've always loved that song to begin with but live its absolutely positively amazing :yahoo: That whole Latin MTV performance was fantastic. Who else but Rob would crawl under the stage :lol: Love those Italy clips. Some classics there, don't think I've ever heard She Makes Me High live. Plus he looks so great with glasses :wub:

New report on RW.com :) Seems LA Vale are joining another league in LA and won the first friendly on July 8th ... 6-0 :cheer: I'm over the moon thrilled and proud of our boy and ofcourse the entire LA Vale team He must be so excited. I hope he's proud of himself what he's accomplished in such a relatively short amount of time with the team. I think he'll make soccer more appealing than Becks :D :yahoo:

Wouldn't that be like bribing the fan or consumer into buying it ?? Personally I think he's far from being that desperate to get people to buy the CD. Whether a CD sells or not should be down to the quality of the music. Its success should be on its own merit not because of the extras that accompany it.

A 5 star hotel ?! They should just put up the winners in Rob's house. I'm sure he has room for 5 :lol: And think of all the money they'd save. Just airfare for 5 shouldn't be a problem for the IS ....... no scratch that, I think I'd like to make my own reservations. With the IS. instead of LA the winners might end up in the North Pole :rofl:

I have my iPod on shuffle and for the past week or so, Hot Fudge has been popping up repeatedly so I've been listening to that.

This whole meet and greet competition from the IS makes me think even more that he will be doing something later this year. I don't think there would be a meet and greet if he would not be working. ..... unless they hold off the actual meet and greet until next year ;)

Yeah I know he said one thing to me in April and something else now but it wouldn't be the firtst time he's contradicted himself LOL ... seriously though, he said that there would be no gigs but he didn't say anything about an album being released. It could be released lets say at the end of the year and a one off gig or something early next year. He could release an album without any gigs at all and just do some promo too. Anything is possible I suppose. I'd much rather he take the rest of the year off and release an album next year especially if there won't be too much promo but with Rob one never knows. Does every new album HAVE to be on a New Release Schedule ?? I mean if they keep it low key deliberately could it be excluded from it ?
