A rug in a kitchen is indeed odd - surely you spill stuff and drop food on it a lot? Very risky I would have thought Jups :smoke: Btw everyone who can think of 20 fave males please vote here http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=115406 before it closes soon.

Cheers for the pics. Ayda looks amazing and Rob looks the best he has in years - thank god he got rid of the horrid comb over that added on 10 years and made him looked extremely reserved and boring. I am pretty shocked he sold his photos to Hello, he sure has changed a lot in the last few years - I hope he gives it to charity as he hardly needs any extra money, but then again he always gives a lot to charity so I am sure he will. Anyway they both look great and its fantastic he see him married. Never thought I'd see the day tbh - he sure has come a long way in the past 4-5 years since meeting Ayda - to go from being in rehab and nearly dying 4 years ago to this now - Ayda is obviously a great influence and they make a great couple. Wacky and mad (Mr and Mrs Madcap as one headline yesterday said :lol: ) but a great couple :D

Robbie's bridesmaids were a pack of dogs The Sun 11th August ROBBIE WILLIAMS' bride AYDA did a walkies up the aisle - with the couple's eight dogs as bridesmaids. The pets, who wore collars of flowers for the big day, took pride of place as singer Robbie and actress Ayda tied the knot at his LA home on Saturday. Robbie, who had no best man, said they had axed normal wedding day conventions. He said: "The only thing that's traditional is the vows. No hen party, no bachelor party, no wedding showers." Ayda, 31, added: "Our doggies are taking the bridesmaid roles! I was originally thinking little bow ties for them but instead they're going to each have flower collars." They included Rudy the German Shepherd, a bull mastiff called Duke, Sid the wolfhound and Rottweiler Missy. Ayda wore a stunning Monique Lhuillier dress. Robbie told Hello! magazine: "Ayda looked like the most beautiful girl in the world. "To be surrounded by family and friends and then see Ayda appear looking so radiant was almost too much to take. I'm the happiest man alive." Robbie, 36, serenaded Ayda by belting out his hit Angels. SEE the full interview and wedding album only in Hello! on sale today. source: The Sun via TRWS

ROBBIE'S GONNA BE A DAD The Star 8th August. ROBBIE WILLIAMS and new wife Ayda are already planning their very own supergroup – of children. Broody Rob and his stunning bride started married life yesterday with their sights already set on six kids. He’s told the Daily Star Sunday he wants two kids with Ayda before adopting another four. He said: “Kids are definitely on the horizon. I’ll probably have a couple of my own and then adopt as well. I want to adopt a few.” And the newlyweds wasted no time in getting down to business. Robbie, 36, jumped into bed with Ayda, 31, after the party night of their lives at his £11million Hollywood mansion. The couple tied the knot in a private civil ceremony. Then Angels singer Robbie was said to be “walking on air” as he welcomed celebrity friends and family into his home. Actress Ayda, who first met former wildman Robbie four years ago, told one of her closest female friends: “He’s the one – the only man I could possibly spend the rest of my life with.” The cake, from Santa Monica’s Vanilla Bake Shop, was made of chocolate with sea salt and baklava, reflecting her Turkish background. Robbie’s newly-reformed Take That bandmates – Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald – were noticeable absentees from the festivities, which continued into the early hours today. All four were unable to attend the hastily-arranged wedding due to long-standing holiday commitments. But they sent video greetings to the happy couple that were played on a giant screen. Guests at last night’s reception included Robbie’s closest pal, TV host and best man Jonathan Wilkes, 32. Also present was GMTV’s Hollywood reporter Ross King. VIP event planners Classic Party Rentals worked round the clock to transform the singer’s mansion into a newlyweds’ paradise. Workers brought in tents, lamps and sound equipment. One worker sweltering under the morning sun declared: “He must have spent tens of thousands on lights and decorations alone.” Robbie has shielded his £80million fortune from Ayda by asking her to sign a strict pre-nuptial agreement. The singer, named as the music world’s 28th wealthiest performer in this year’s Sunday Times Music Rich List, is known to be a canny handler of his money. But a source close to the couple said: “Ayda wasn’t in the least offended. She realises a prenup is par for the course in virtually every celeb wedding these days. “The money doesn’t matter one iota to her. She’s a successful entertainer in her own right and will never be poor. “What matters most is sealing the deal with the man of her dreams.” Robbie and his new bride will have a two-week honeymoon at a secret destination. He will return to Britain at the end of this month to switch on the famous illuminations in Blackpool. After that, he will reunite with Take That to promote their comeback single Shame, due to be released in October. Robbie, who sent out invitations only two weeks ago, had intended to wed Ayda on the island of Catalina, 20 miles off the Los Angeles coast, it was claimed. Guests had been expecting to board his £6million luxury yacht at the port of Dana Point before being ferried to the offshore haven, where the couple spent one of their first romantic breaks together. But, with less than 24 hours to go, the venue was suddenly shifted to his gated Mulholland Drive mansion. It was claimed Robbie was furious news of his initial plan leaked out. A pal of the singer declared: “The last thing he wanted was a media circus. “He hit the roof when the Catalina plan was published and was forced to throw his big day into reverse gear to avoid his guests and family being badgered by fans” The Star via TRWS

Loads of pic here taken by paps - they both look great. Glad Rob didnt opt for his grandad comb over look :lol: http://x17online.com/celebrities/robbie_wi...on-08082010.php

Robbie: I Take That woman to be my wife Williams weds his angel Ayda NOTW Dan Wotton 8th August http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af167/therobbiewilliamssiteukau/robbiebride_516_137924a.jpg HE BRIDE: Ayda wore white at the intimate ceremony By James Desborough and Dan Wootton, in Los Angeles, 08/08/2010 ROBBIE Williams wed stunning actress Ayda Field at a lavish Los Angeles ceremony this morning. The singer tied the knot with US-born Ayda at his £10million mansion in front of family and a handful of friends. Shunning a glitzy showbiz bash, the couple opted instead for a low-key event. http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af167/therobbiewilliamssiteukau/robbie_516_137942a.jpg THE GROOM: Robbie (centre with white handerchief in his pocket) stands close to best pal Jonathan Wilkes. The ceremony started at 5pm California time - 1am our time - after the lovers ditched their original plans to stage the nuptials on romantic Santa Catalina island off the California coast. They switched the venue with 24 hours to go after news of the wedding leaked out. They exchanged vows in the grounds of the star's home, overlooking beautiful, sweeping views of the San Fernando Valley. And Robbie made another special vow as a wedding gift to his new bride. He promised to give up SMOKING - so they can have a baby. He'd already stubbed out his habit completely for the big day after cutting down from 60 cigs a day to ten. Ayda, 31, who had banned him from lighting up indoors, made it clear that she wants a family and worried that smoking could damage his sperm. The wedding had been hurriedly arranged two weeks ago after Ayda, gave Robbie, 36, an ultimatum: "It's now or maybe never." http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af167/therobbiewilliamssiteukau/robbiemarquee_137943a.jpg THE GUESTS: Robbie and Ayda's nearest and dearest wait for the ceremony to start. It was too late for his Take That bandmates to attend, but Robbie's dad Pete Conway flew in from the star's old home town of Stoke. He said: "At last, Rob is happy. That's what you want for your kids and this is the happiest I've seen him. "Ayda is so beautiful and so delightful and so lovely and just so right for him. They are brilliant together." The couple - who have signed a pre-nuptial agreement to protect the star's £85million fortune - had been due to marry next year. Robbie had popped the question at Christmas and bought his bride-to-be a £100,000 sparkler. But Ayda feared they would not walk down the aisle for another 15 MONTHS if they did not act quickly, because of his hectic schedule with the reformed Take That. And she was worried that the singer, who has dated a string of beauties, might get cold feet. He had already walked out on her THREE TIMES because of his fears of commitment. She admitted before the ceremony: "I can't wait to marry him. We're so in love, it's a case of the sooner the better." http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af167/therobbiewilliamssiteukau/robbie_guestlist_08_137781a.jpg (Clockwise from top left) Ayda and her mum Gwen, Robbie's mum Jan, Robbie's dad Pete and pal Jonathan Wilkes.. Three large marquees were set up for guests in the back garden, with a black canopy at the front for their arrival. Ayda's mum Gwen and brother Dylan were among the guests plus Robbie's mum Jan, 69. Ayda's estranged father, who lives in Turkey, did not attend. Because of the short notice, Robbie's closest showbiz mates Ant & Dec were not there either. But his best pal Jonathan Wilkes flew out. A source close to Take That said the wedding had taken band members Gary Barlow, 39, Mark Owen, 38, Howard Donald, 42, Jason Orange, 40, by surprise. He said: "It was classic Robbie. He sprung it on everyone at the last minute. The lads would have loved to be there but it just wasn't possible because of their commitments." http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af167/therobbiewilliamssiteukau/robbie-house_137777a.jpg LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU: Wedding marquees go up yesterday at groom Robbie's LA mansion Instead they sent jokey messages to be read at the reception poking fun at Robbie, whose interests include flying saucers. Our insider said: "They wanted to make Stoke and Port Vale FC gags. And of course a reference to UFOs." Robbie's house is an area famous for its privacy. His neighbours include Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty. PHOTOS: Splash source NOTW thanks to TRWS

I would find it bizarre if they didnt have a pre-nup - only celebs who are complete fools don't ensure they have one these days. And yep they got married 1am our time apparently. :D Robbie Williams 'marries Ayda Field' BBC News Pop star Robbie Williams is believed to have married US actress and model Ayda Field at his Beverly Hills mansion. Reports and pictures from a ceremony have surfaced online despite apparent attempts to avoid media attention. News of the World reporter James Desborough told BBC 5 live the paper had photos taken from a helicopter. He said: "We got pictures of Ayda looking astonishingly beautiful going up an aisle which was created in the back garden of his Mulholland home." Williams was "dressed in a tuxedo really looking very dapper," he added. The singer has been with the US actress and model for more than three years. Last year, he denied his mother's apparent confirmation of the couple's engagement. They had appeared on an Australian radio show together in which the singer jokingly asked her to marry him. The pair met through friends, prompting Williams to tell chat show host Jonathan Ross that he thought he would always be a bachelor until he got together with Field. "I was introduced to Ayda and things just changed," he said. "She's a wonderful person and I'm in love. She's really broody and I'm getting there." Field, 31, has appeared in several US TV series including Days of Our Lives and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Williams recently announced he was rejoining the line-up of Take That to record new material and go on tour. But his bandmates are not thought to have attended the ceremony. The singer, who has won 15 Brit Awards, has previously been linked to model Rachel Hunter and was engaged to singer Nicole Appleton. source: BBC News

Congrats to Rob and Ayda - hopefully they have a fantastic day. :yahoo: :yahoo: Typical of the Sun to make a headline of a prenup on the day - oh well at least it isnt done in a negetive way like the Mirror's 3am article today. Shame they have their facts wrong though - that £80m is from the record deal which almost over and as the article says he was worth £35M before that so they are way off. The Sunday Times rich list has been totally wrong about it for years now - when Rob earned £30m+ from the tour alone in 9 months not even including the many millions more for IC etc around the same time they only brought him up by £5m and then brought him down by £25m the year before last so it cannot be taken seriously. I recall Forbes saying he was worth £130m a few years back so that makes alot more sence. Good to see it reported that Rudebox sold 4.5m though - I bet that will shock some of those foolish readers who harp on about how badly it did. :rofl: I wonder if there will be a few wedding pics released? I can't see any OK or HELLO mag deals but I would be surpised if at least one pic wasnt released. Good luck to the happy couple

She's the one..who is signing the pre-nup The Sun 7th August http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af167/therobbiewilliamssiteukau/s1249h-1.jpg Rolling it in ... Robbie Williams has built up a vast fortune CANNY ROBBIE WILLIAMS has shielded his £80million fortune with a pre-nuptial agreement ahead of his wedding to AYDA FIELD today. Robbie, 36, secured the deal to limit any payout to 31-year-old actress Ayda if the marriage fails. Robbie, 36, and American actress Ayda, 31, visited Los Angeles lawyers in the last month to thrash out a pre-nuptial agreement setting a maximum divorce payout. Robbie was the 28th wealthiest person on this year's Sunday Times Music Rich List. He owns an £8.5million MANSION near Calne, Wilts, and two swish PROPERTIES in LA. He has a £9million YACHT and a giant £200,000 MOTOR HOME. Despite the fact he does not have a driving licence, fun-loving Robbie also owns cars, including three £80,000 RANGE ROVERS, a £300,000 black ROLLS-ROYCE with a personalised number plate, a £100,000 E TYPE JAG - and an £8,000 SMART CAR. He also has two MOTORBIKES, an £8,000 Honda CBR 600 and a £10,000 Ducati 996. The Stoke-born star's other assets include £250,000 of shares in his local FOOTBALL TEAM Port Vale. And he will also get a chunk of the £75million the re-formed Take That will earn with their reunion tour and records. The Sun can reveal Robbie has abandoned plans for a ceremony on the island of Catalina, 20 miles off the coast of Los Angeles. His family and close friends - who had been told of the date just last week - were set to gather at a small LA port this morning ready to board a luxury yacht. But instead Robbie decided on a secret location for the wedding, before a reception for a handful of guests at the singer's £12million Beverly Hills mansion. The singer has flown his dad PETE CONWAY and mum JAN WILLIAMS to be by his side. Ayda, who starred in Channel 4 comedy-drama Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip, will be accompanied by her mum Gwen but not her estranged dad, now living in Turkey. Robbie's best friend JONATHAN WILKES, 32, will be there along with his trusted manager Josie Cliff. She moved to Los Angeles with him and Robbie gave her away at her wedding - which he insisted was dry because of his own battles with booze. A pal said: "Robbie just wants to get married in a lovely private moment with his parents and Ayda's mum looking on. Balloons "He will have a handful of very special people including his manager Josie and his best friend Jonathan. "The couple will tie the knot and then enjoy a small reception at his house. "He does not want a big circus and just wants a private affair behind closed doors." But none of Robbie's TAKE THAT bandmates - GARY BARLOW, MARK OWEN, HOWARD DONALD and JASON ORANGE - will be attending. All are believed to be holidaying in different parts of the world. Yesterday party-planners' delivery trucks arrived at Robbie's Mediterranean-style pad. It stands in two acres of the most expensive gated community in California, with neighbours including ROD STEWART and EDDIE MURPHY. One worker was spotted tying balloons to the gates. After the bash Robbie will whisk his new bride away for a two-week honeymoon before returning to the UK to promote his comeback single, a duet with Gary Barlow entitled Shame. Robbie's first public engagement will be on September 3 when he turns on Blackpool's illuminations. The rocker has fond memories of the seaside resort, taking Ayda there in November 2008 when the Pleasure Beach was opened especially for them. He later said it was one of the top ten days of his life. Talking of his return trip, he commented: "Blackpool has so many happy memories for me and it will be a real thrill to turn on the 2010 illuminations. "This will cap my twentieth year of making music and I can't think of a better place to celebrate." On September 12 Robbie will headline a Help for Heroes concert at Twickenham Stadium in South West London. The next Take That album is due to be released in November. Meanwhile Ayda has vowed to quit acting and have kids with broody Robbie. They met in 2006. In the years since leaving the former boy band in 1995, he has romanced beauties including actresses ANNA FRIEL and JOELY RICHARDSON, singers NICOLE APPLETON and ANDREA CORR, TV girl TANIA STRECKER, model RACHEL HUNTER and Hollywood beauty CAMERON DIAZ. Star's record deals ROBBIE raked in a small fortune as a member of Take That - but he has since become one of the wealthiest musicians of all time. The singer made around £5million with the group from 1991 to 1995, selling 25 million records. In 2002 he signed a record £80million, five-album EMI deal. By then he was already worth £35million after hits including Angels and Let Me Entertain You. In 2006 he made an incredible £32,200,163 in just NINE MONTHS from his world tour which attracted 2.6 million fans in 14 countries. The following year his music business - The In Good Company Co Limited, set up in October 2002 - paid him a further £7.2million. The biggest earners were his Intensive Care album and his website, which charged premium members to join his "Inner Sanctum". And despite a panning by critics, album Rudebox boosted takings with 4.5 million copies sold. source: The Sun via TRWS

'She's The One': Today's the day for Robbie Williams and his fiancee Ayda Field By SARA NATHAN and BEN TODD Last updated at 8:48 AM on 7th August 2010 The Mail http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af167/therobbiewilliamssiteukau/Picture2-59.png Husband and wife-to-be: Robbie Williams and actress Ayda Field are believed to be getting married on a Californian island today He credits her with helping him conquer his drink and drug demons and turning his life around. And today, Robbie Williams will complete his transformation when he marries actress Ayda Field in a low-key ceremony. The couple, who have been together for three years, will tie the knot on a small island off the Californian coast, watched only by close friends and family - and with Williams' father performing one of his son's hits, She's The One, on a ukulele. But the last-minute announcement of the wedding date apparently came too late for Take That bandmates Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Mark Owen and Howard Donald, who are all away on family holidays. Williams - who announced his reunion with his former band two weeks ago - said of his fiancee: 'I call her my Swiss Army knife because that's the way I feel about her. She can do anything. 'She was training to be a lawyer and dropped out to become a comedian. She loves her football. If anything goes wrong with DVDs, computers or anything like that, she fixes them straight away.' Before the lid was lifted on Williams and Field's clandestine wedding, the former had sent out invitations to friends for a party celebrating his 20th anniversary in showbiz. However, an insider revealed no-one was fooled as 'marrying Ayda has been on the cards for some time'. Speaking to the Daily Record, they said: "Robbie maintained the line for a while. But when pressed, he caved in and confessed to his mates that it was a ruse." Last night, wedding guests had simply been told to assemble at a port. From there, they will be ferried to Santa Catalina, which has a population of around 3,000. Williams, 36, and his 31-year-old fiancee will exchange vows in a beachfront cove, under an altar made from tree branches and driftwood and decorated with white lilies, dendrobium orchids and roses. After dark, candles will be l it in the trees for the reception. But there were also party rental trucks and white balloons outside the couple's multi-million-pound mansion in Hollywood's Mullholland Estates on Thursday afternoon, suggesting that celebrations may be held there too. Williams was seen playing football on the pitch at his home with friends who had flown in for the wedding. The couple have chosen a theme of white and silver for the ceremony and all the orchids have been handpainted, at a cost of £18,000, by Jackie Combs Floral Design. Miss Field's hair will be styled by celebrity hair guru Ken Paves, who looks after the tresses of Desperate Housewives beauty Eva Longoria and singer Jessica Simpson. The wedding cake, by Vanilla Bake Shop in Santa Monica, is chocolate with sea salt and baklava to represent Miss Field's Turkish heritage. And perhaps Williams chose Catalina Island because of the fact its highest point is called Mount Ada - named after the wife of chewing gum magnate William Wrigley, who bought almost all of the island in 1919. Last night, a Catalina Island resident said: 'The wedding could be at the Wrigley Mansion, which is completely private and only rented out by the family that owns it.' Despite saying that she is the love of his life and he wants to be with her 'until the end of time', it seems that Robbie Williams won't be taking any chances. If the couple ever part, the Angels singer will keep his hands on most of the £80million fortune he has worked so hard to build over the years by making bride-to-be Aya sign a pre-nup. They visited lawyers in Los Angles last month to thrash out an agreement which set a maximum divorce payout in order to ensure the former model doesn't get her hands on his fortune. Robbie was recently named as the 28th wealthiest person on this year's Sunday Times Music Rich List and owns various properties, a yacht, several cars and motorbikes as well as shares in his local football team Port Vale FC and the chunk he will get from the £75million the reformed Take That will earn. And contrary to rumours, it has been claimed that the star has abandoned plans for a ceremony on the island of Catalina after Robbie decided on a secret location for the wedding at the last minute. Best friend Jonathan Wilkes, 32, will be in attendance as well as his trusted manager Josie Cliff. He has also flown in his mum Jan and dad Pete Conway. A close friend said: 'Robbie does not want a big circus and just wants a private affair behind closed doors with a handful of very special people.' The singer battled with a much-publicised addiction to drugs and alcohol before entering rehab in 2007. He admitted: 'At the time you don't give a s*** if you pop your clogs. I must have been very, very close.' He also hit the headlines for his celebrity romances after he walked out on Take That in 1995. He dated society girl Jacqueline Hamilton-Smith before becoming engaged to former All Saints singer Nicole Appleton, who is now married to Liam Gallagher. Next came relationships with actresses Joely Richardson and Anna Friel, Irish singer Andrea Corr, TV presenter Tania Strecker, ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, New Zealand supermodel Rachel Hunter, and Hollywood beauties Cameron Diaz and Valerie Cruz. But in 2006 he was introduced to Miss Field by a friend in the U.S. - and she proved to be the girl to tame him. The couple will have a two-week honeymoon before Williams arrives in the UK to promote his new single with Gary Barlow, Shame, which is out in October. source: The Mail via TRWS

Take Thatrimony! The Mirror 7th August BOYS' VIDEO FOR GROOM BANDMATE His Take That pals won't be there but Robbie Williams will still have the greatest day when he marries today - as the boys have made him a tearjerking wedding video. The lads will surprise Robbie - newly back with the band - with an emotional five-minute tribute wishing him and wifeto-be Ayda Field all the best. The couple, together for three years, are expected to tie the knot on the island of Santa Catalina, 20 miles off Los Angeles. Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen are away on holiday with their families but met in London last week to record the video. A source close to the band told us: "Robbie is keeping it a small affair for family and close friends. But the Take That lads thought it would be a nice gesture. Robbie is like a brother to them." In the video the boys tell Robbie how much they love him and how pleased they are that the boys are finally back together. Robbie has dated a string of celebs in the past, including Nicole Appleton, Rod Stewart's former wife Rachel Hunter, Spice Girl Geri Halliwell and actress Cameron Diaz, but the band always joked he was the eternal bachelor. A source said: "In the video message they reminisce about old times and joke that they would never have thought the day would finally come when he would get married." Robbie, 36, who proposed to actress and comedian Ayda last November, announced the date to family and pals only last week. Yesterday white balloons were tied to a signpost outside Robbie's £12million Beverly Hills home while a party firm unloaded a marquee. Guests including Robbie's parents, Jan and Pete, and closest pal Jonathan Wilkes, 32, have been told to assemble this morning at a small port before being ferried to the island. A friend of the couple said: "Jonathan's been practising his best man speech. He's really pleased with it and thinks Robbie and Ayda will find it hilarious." While Robbie steadies his nerves with a Red Bull or 10, Ayda will be having her locks tended to by celeb hairdresser Ken Paves. The couple will then get married under an altar made out of... tree branches and driftwood. But if that sounds a bit cheap, forget it. It will be adorned with white lillies and hand-painted orchids from Jackie Combs Floral Design costing £20,000. Blooming expensive by anyone's standards. The guests will then move to the reception area and, after tucking into fish and chips and a red velvet cake, will watch the newlyweds take their first dance. To what? She's the One would be OK. As long as it's not Rudebox, we'll all be delighted.

Congrats to the happy couple :drink: Interesting that none of the TT lads are not expected to attend as Gary was tipped to be the joint best man with Jonny wasnt he? :lol:. Considering Rob didnt attend Mark Owen's wedding either or Jason Orange's 40th does this indicate this reunion is indeed very much a business decision and not because they all adore eachother and are the best of mates? :lol:

And Smart Gordon's View - he has always loved Ayda since they met last year :lol: my View By GORDON SMART Bizarre Editor ROBBIE Williams has been tamed. It's taken the best part of 20 years but mysterious, sexy American Ayda Field is the first woman to get him on a permanent contract. Rob's little black book has made impressive reading - TV hosts, pop stars, actresses and models. But his best girlfriend to date is Ayda. It's no coincidence she might just happen to be the least famous of them all. I met her when I interviewed Robbie in his mum's London flat last year. She's seriously fit. She knows about football, makes a great brew and has a sense of humour. She wasn't at all starry. She's good for Robbie and he's finally realised it's what he needs to keep him sane. Now he really is rich beyond his wildest dreams. Read more: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sho.... #ixzz0vnwUMnhO

The singer, 36 - newly back with TAKE THAT - and actress Ayda, 31, have planned an intimate ceremony on a romantic island off Los Angeles. Robbie has had a stunning series of showbiz romances and his love life soon hit the headlines after he walked out on his Take That pals back in 1995. He dated society girl JACQUELINE HAMILTON-SMITH before being linked with All Saints star NICOLE APPLETON. Next were actresses JOELY RICHARDSON and ANNA FRIEL, Irish songbird ANDREA CORR, TV presenter TANIA STRECKER and ex-SPICE GIRL GERI HALLIWELL. Stoke-born Robbie then moved on to Kiwi supermodel RACHEL HUNTER and Hollywood beauties CAMERON DIAZ and VALERIE CRUZ. But by 2006 he had met actress and comedienne Ayda Field - the girl who was to tame his wandering heart. They are to marry on the island of Santa Catalina, 20 miles off the California coast and a favourite spot for honeymooners. Secretive Robbie and his bride-to-be told family and close friends of the date only last week. The other members of the reformed Take That - GARY BARLOW, 39, MARK OWEN, 38, JASON ORANGE, 40, and HOWARD DONALD, 42 - are all believed to be on long-standing holidays and so will not be attending. Robbie's closest pal JONATHAN WILKES, 32, flew out to LA yesterday. He joined Robbie's dad Pete Conway and mum Jan. Guests have been told to assemble tomorrow morning at a small port. From there they will be ferried to Santa Catalina. A source said: "Robbie and Ayda have been deeply in love for a long time now. They spend almost every waking minute of every day together and are completely inseparable. "They have tried to keep the guest list for the wedding as small as possible and have revealed only scant detail of the ceremony to the lucky few who are invited." The couple will have a two-week honeymoon before Robbie arrives in the UK to promote new Take That single Shame, which is out in October. Robbie and Ayda - who starred in Channel 4 comedy-drama Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip - met through friends. They dated in secret for six months before The Sun revealed they were together in 2007. The couple developed an interest in UFOs and spent weeks in the Californian desert camping and star-gazing. Last November Robbie rang Ayda to propose as she was being interviewed live on a radio station in Sydney, Australia. He was quick to claim it was all a joke. But his mum Jan revealed he really WAS keen to wed - and by the New Year Robbie had confirmed to friends they were engaged. Last year he told The Sun: "I call her my Swiss Army Knife because that's the way I feel about her - she can do anything. She was training to be a lawyer and dropped out to become a comedian. She loves her football. "If anything goes wrong with DVDs, computers or anything like that, she fixes them straight away." The couple bought a country house "on impulse" near Compton Basset, Wilts, but then decided to return to Robbie's £12million Beverly Hills mansion because of the better weather. Robbie's early romances were a closely guarded secret when he was first in boyband Take That. But soon after he left he began a fling with party-loving Jacqueline Hamilton-Smith - now 43 - the daughter of a lord. In 1997 he fell for Nicole Appleton, 35, and they were briefly engaged in 1998. He filled the rest of that year and the next having flings with Joely Richardson, 45, and Anna Friel, 34, before dating Irish songbird Andrea Corr, 36. By the new millennium he had moved on to leggy Dane Tania Strecker, 37. Her split from film producer GUY RITCHIE proved the inspiration for Robbie's 2007 single She's Madonna. Robbie was also linked with Geri Halliwell, 37. But she has since denied their relationship was physical. She said: "I became really close to Robbie after leaving the Spice Girl and it was a very poignant friendship. I was lonely and felt he was the only person on the planet who could understand me because of his experiences with Take That. "We understood each other. But I didn't really go out with him." In 2002 Robbie was with New Zealand-born Rachel Hunter, 40, who had divorced rocker ROD STEWART three years earlier. The next years saw dates with beauties including Cameron Diaz, 37, and Valerie Cruz, 34. Last night a spokesman for Robbie and Ayda was unavailable for comment. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...-tomorrow.html

Yeah the line-up is pretty crap - the only other proper big name there is James Blunt but that is based on his success 4/5 years ago. They need to get some other big names the or viewers will switch during the show. I am looking forward to Rob - hopefully get gets close to 30 minutes. It will be his first big gig in four years and there is nothing better than Rob in stadium at the top of his game so he better sing Let me Entertain You to wake everyone up like he had to at Live 8 after so many $h!t acts. I wouldnt mind this being the setlist LMEY Bodies Supreme Come Undone Millennium Feel Shame Angels

France? Surely not? TT have had some success in the other countries especially first time around but I thought they were virtually unknown in France? I know Rob can sell out stadiums there no problem but it seems a bit mad trying to sell one out under TT if the majority of the show will be TT material? Oh well the official tour dates will make interesting reading when they are released most likely around the time the album is released in November. Will be very interesting to see how it is marketed overseas - but I can only see them playing Germany Denmark and a few others where TT had some success the second time around - playing in places like France would mean most of the crowd would only be there to hear Robbie solo stuff and would be very confused as to who the other four were and why Angels wasnt being sung. :lol:

Morning Sun 20 Bodies 29 Blasphemy 12 Last Days Of Disco 29+ Deceptacon 0- Difficult For Weirdos 21 Superblind 18

Seeing as the new GH is pretty much a singles collection and certainly doesnt represent the best songs Rob has ever done - I thought it would be interesting to do an alternative version compiled of everyones favourite album tracks and B-sides/rare tracks from over the past 20 years. The order doesnt matter although it has to be the same number of tracks - so 39 songs. Here is mine: 1. Back For Good (Live Rock Version) 2. Life Thru A Lens 3. Ego A Go Go 4. One Of Gods Better People 5. Average B-side 6. Fully Monty Medley (with Tom Jones) 7. Phoenix From The Flames 8. Win Some Lose Some 9. Heaven From Here 10. Karma Killer 11. Love Cheat 12. Better Man 13. If It’s Hurting You 14. Forever Texas 15. Come Take Me Over 16. United 17. Rolling Stone 18. Toxic 19. My Way (Live from the Albert Hall) 1. My Culture 2. Monsoon 3. Revolution 4. Hot Fudge 5. Cursed 6. One Fine Day 7. Coffee, Tea & Sympathy 8. Ugly Love 9. Get A Little High 10. Chemical Devotion 11. Ghosts 12. A Place To Crash 13. Bag Full Of Silly 14. Don’t Say No 15. The Actor 16. The 80’s 17. The 90’s 18. Blasphemy 19. Last Days Of Disco 20. Difficult For Weirdoes Missing loads of my faves though such as Get The Joke, Berliner Star, Big Beef, Random Acts, Killing Me, Decieving Is Believing, Summertime, Love Somebody, Jesus In A Camper Van, The Trouble With Me and Superblind but still I am pretty pleased with that as an album. I actaully prefer it to the actual Greatest Hits :smoke:

A new month and we will get to hear 'Shame' on the 23rd on Chris moyles. -_-

According to The Daily Fail Robbie might feature on Britney Spears new album :blink: Hopefully not though - she does seem very keen on the idea although I recall she was meant to be on the Swing album and wanted to do a duet of 'These Boots Are Made For Walkin' but Rob wanted a different track. -_-
