Well from today's NOTW it looks like he won't play his own TT card. (as posted in the News thread) From today's News of the World RAV ROBBIE: I WON'T TOUR WITH TAKE THAT He snubs lads - but will gig with Pet Shop Boys Robbie williams has told Take That he's too busy to join their comeback tour-but he WILL take time out to do a gig with the Pet Shop Boys. The Robster had promised to join Howard, Mark, Gary and Jason on stage for at least one of their concerts. but now he has backed out, telling the lads he has too many other projects on the go. However, it seems he has got time for the Pet Shop Boys. I can reveal he is recording a dance album with them and will join them at a hush-hush gig at London's Windmill Theatre tomorrow. A source close to the Pet Shop Boys told me: "Initially Robbie did want to join the TT boys on the tour-he was quite excited about seeing his fans again. "But time just wouldn't allow it because he has so much going on at the moment. "However, when the Pet Shop Boys came along and asked him to join them for their one-off gig, he jumped at the chance. He likes to do quirky things and sees this as being right up his street". Last month it was revealed Robbie would appear with TT at one of their Manchester gigs-although he wanted to keep the exact date under wraps. But as well as his Pet Shop Boys commitments, Robbie is up to his eyes in rehearsing for his world tour later this year as well as preparations for his new single which is out next month. He is also involved in Soccer Aid, which will see him do battle on the pitch with celebs and World Cup legends in aid of UNICEF. His decision to pull out of the tour will be a blow for TT fans who were over the moon that they would get to see the fab 5 back together again. Robbie sensationally quit TT in 1995. Seems we'll have to wait a while longer to see him bury the hatchet with his old pals.

http://usera.imagecave.com/robstwo/CloseEncounters-copy.jpg Here is the picture that accompanied the article in the Star today. I will come back in a mo to put in the text that I have just put on TRWS See yer.. :D CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE ROBBIE KIND Alien Tune to Launch World Gigs. edited Robbie Williams will arrive on stage to the eerily iconic alien tune from Close Encouters for his world tour. Rob 32, will appear in a puff of smoke when he kicks off the tour in Dublin on June 9th. He is taking inspiration from magician mate Derren Brown, 35, and big name illusionists like David Copperfield. Rob's fascinated with all things magical and mysterious and he's incorporating many elements into the show. He wants this one to be a real spectacle with aspects of an illusionist's show. The current idea is for him to be raised onto the stage on a platform in a puff of smoke, making it seem as if he's appeared from nowhere. For 30 seconds beforehand, the beeps from Close Encounters will blast out over the speakers. Meanwhile, the September dates of the tour, originally scheduled for Wembley Stadium have been moved to Milton Keynes. Personally I can't wait to see this show. Rob Williams isn't my favourite artist, but he's certainly an entertainer. If he's given his head and allowed to get carried away with spacecraft and such, we could have a truely memorable set of gigs on our hands this summer.

The Official announcement is up..its Milton Keynes - 5 nights.

There is an official announcement tomorrow about the venue change for the Wembley concerts :) thanks to therobbiewilliamssite.com

I have Scotty, now thats saying something as I wasn't into boy bands really. :D I think East 17 are playing the Take That card a bit too. Although I think that TT have played the RW card as well. A friend of mine went to see them and she told me that there is a 5th mike always placed at the side of the stage, in full view..its very clever play. The will he or won't he card..maybe one day it will be used. :)

Nearly there Scotty.. :cheer: :dance: :cheer:

Ghosts twice today and Spread Your Wings Thats all I had time for in the car. Such a short journey to work. :D

well it would be a sensational wouldn't it. :)

Robbie to help more county groups Community groups in and around Stoke-on-Trent are being urged to apply for cash from Robbie Williams' charity. Give it Sum has handed out £3m to local projects during its five-year history and wants to help more. It is holding an information day at Vale Park on Thursday so people can find out how to bid for a grant. Robbie's mum, Jan Williams, and Gilly Green manage the fund and are staging the information event to get more people to apply. Karen Bowen, chair of the Townsend Residents Community Association which received £18,000, said it was not difficult to apply. Robbie, who was born in Stoke-on-Trent, has raised funds for the charity he set up with the help of Comic Relief. Acknowledgement to therobbiewilliamssite.com and BBC News

Happy Birthday wh75 - have a goodun :party: :birthday: :party2:

http://the-raft.com/assets/news/news_3071.jpg Robbie's Sin Sin Sin is Winner! Third single from Intensive Care album out 22nd May! 'Sin Sin Sin' is just over 4 minutes of 80s pop pleasure. It's a confessional song and was one of the first tracks that Robbie wrote with collaborator Stephen Duffy. Duffy said, "As soon as we'd completed this track, I thought we might just have a future together." The video to 'Sin Sin Sin' was shot in Cape Town by Vaughan Arnell who also directed the Robbie classics 'Angels', 'Rock DJ' and 'Millennium'. The 'spiritual' promo sees Robbie adorning a full beard and beads, as a guru 'figurehead' of a commune full of pregnant women! Robbie's World Tour kicked off in Durban, South Africa on 10th April. The 44 date tour will see Robbie visit 14 different countries and perform to over 2.6 million fans worldwide. 'Sin Sin Sin' is out on the 22nd May 2006.

He looks lovely in those sunglasses..although I could do with messing up the hair a little. :wub:

Well I am back..watched it. He looks gorgeous in it doesn't he.. :wub: I am still thinking about thinking on this one, :unsure: I am not sure I like the concept at all, not my kind of thing, although parts of it I like better than others..hate the beginning and I don't like the Moses thing. I do like the percussion addition to the track though. :D

Should be hearing one way or another very soon..but my money is on Milton Keynes.

I have to agree with your smilies in your post Jupiter, how did Robbie end up with Gasgoigne :cry: at "The Match" last year, he had an open goal with no other players around him and missed every shot LOL..in the end his mate BillyBigBelly, sorry cannot remember his name..but its something like that, had to come on and do it for him LOL. :rolleyes: You can buy tickets for a warm up match between Robbie's England side v England Legends taking place on Tuesday 23rd May at Craven Cottage Fullham on the run up to the Old Trafford event on the Saturday. Tickets for that are 15.00 plus booking fee. http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/football_news_latest_7315.html

Think of it as a keep fit regime Twinkle..happy cycling. :D

Sure no problem Scotty. :D I can't remember what title I gave it in the first place anyway now..LOL.

I have mine all tucked away in a safe place.. :cheer:

Oh goodness, I don't know if I want to watch it or not, a beard, 3 heads, sounds horrendous. I will be back. :blink:
