Not that anyone gets me wrong here, the fact that I don't mind the whole drag thing in the video doesn't mean that he turns me on like that, he sure doesn't. The eyeliner, maybe yes, but not the whole drag outfit on him, the wig is too ugly :lol: I like the whole scene where he is changing, because you get to see him half naked and I basically ignore the bra and the tights. :D

Don't be jealous, sparkle. Rob has told me he prefers to get pictured with you. ^_^ BTW, haven't got a clue who those two people are.

:o (thanks to purerobbie) MediaGuardian.co.uk No Angels What have the 3AM girls got against Robbie Williams? On Saturday they said branded him a "loser" and said wouldn't be nominated for a major Brit award, even though he's up for best live act. Then on Tuesday there was more bile heaped upon poor Rob, with a story about how Noel Gallagher hates his new album. Is it because exclusive pics from his latest video and a recent interview were given to arch-rivals The Sun, rather than The Mirror, Monkey wonders? Presumably Robbie and his PR Feel they have No Regrets. At last, someone with a bit of sense. I'm applauding whoever wrote that piece. And I certainly hope the 3am girls will get to read this. :P

Gosh, he must have lost a few pounds. :o One should think it would be the other way round, that you lose weight during a tour and put it on while on a break. But since when has anything been normal with Rob. :lol: Anyway, he looks lovely. :heart:

On the subject of him dressing as a woman (sort of) in earlier days: I thought the golden frock on TOTP was terrible, much worse than that video. I never got the point of that. But it was back in 1998, he was huge then and even if the journalists would have liked to slag him off for it, they probably didn't dare at the time - very much unlike today <_< And I didn't hear fans complaining too much either. So what's the big deal now ? Rob likes to dress up in his videos and now it happens to be as a woman, what's the big deal ? Like Scotty says, I think it's even typical Robbie, I'm more surprised he didn't do it earlier. I'm not saying everyone has to like the video and I'm not calling anyone prude, but what I don't get are the fans that seem to be totally appalled by it all. And I'm not necessarily talking about people on this board either. B)

I think it's still very sexy, even with the make up. Does that make me weird ... ? :unsure: :cry: I hear quite a few fans are upset about the video, I'm afraid he might drive away those fans who were still left after the Rudebox album release, so how many are left now ... ? :puke2: Personally, I don't get it. Is it just the fact that he dresses as a woman, he's done that loads of times before or do people think it's ok for him to do it, but not in a music video... ? -_-

I think it's brill. The man has really got a nerve making a video like that. :o I'm afraid people/fans will either love it or hate it though. :unsure:

I've always said I don't mind the drag as long as he also appears as his usual masculine self too and I'll stick with that. B) I actually think he looks quite pretty in that close up :o :D And I certainly like him in the white tuxedo, they can bring that video on, it sounds interesting. :yahoo:

How dare they !!! :arrr: I knew he wouldn't win anything at the Brits, but the fact that they didn't even nominate him for Best Male is SHOCKING to me. :o B****y bast*rds. Recently there was talk of the lifetime achievement award, I think the only way he'll ever get that is if he... I don't really want to pronounce it, guess you'll get what I mean. I'm just so f***ing angry right now. :angry: :angry: :puke2:

That's what I thought. Robbie, the scapegoat, bring it all on. :arrr: I just really hope it doesn't bother him too much. You never know with him, he might not give a s**t and laugh about it or he might take it really hard. :cry:

I guess I'm a bit late, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear jups from me too :D

sparkle, it came from the Daily Star originally I think, so it's speculation at this point. But I would not be surprised at all if the Brits people asked Rob to present the award, I think it's very likely

Jackie has said it all. -_- If they want a reunion, fine - but why not ask them to perform together ? Instead they want Rob to grovel and present TT with an award. How come in the past 10 years no one ever came up with the great idea to have TT present an award to Rob ... ? <_< I can't say I would be very pleased to see Rob hand an award to TT while he gets nothing (which is what I expect to happen) I still sorta hope he will do it because at least it would show the public and the stupid press that Rob is not jealous of TT's success. On the other hand imagine the bad press he will get if he refuses to present that award, God help us... :puke2:

Couldn't agree more with everything you wrote there.

Being egoistic and knowing I will miss the lad I would say I want as much RW as possible in 2007. But apart from that I agree with everyone that he should not really do much this year. :( He's said himself in that Big Issue interview that the Brits are tired of him and I think he is right. Obviously the die hard- fans are excluded but as for the great public... -_- I think the only way they will ever learn to appreciate him again is if he is not around for a while, at least a year I'd say or even longer. Although that would be almost unbearable for me. :cry:

Bushido is a German rapper, jups. I thought the same about that 3am article. The article in itself is of course rubbish (unless they have hacked into either Rob's or Nicole's computer :o <_< ) but not really negative about Rob - but then of course in the end they have to get a dig in with that one sentence. :angry: I'm afraid the "reporting" of those b****es won't change much with the new year. -_-

Where did that news come from that there won't be a single until March.. ? :unsure: Not that it would surprise me much, nothing these days shocks me about EMIs actions. I think slowly I'm getting to the point where I'm past caring. And maybe Rob already has reached that point, which is why he has shot a video in drag :blink: :lol:

:cheer: HALLELUJA !!! (Well, it is Xmas... ^_^ ) An objective piece of journalism on our man, it has become a rarity, at least in the UK. And it's so true, isn't it ? I mean the part about surprising us. He always does. I have to admit I don't like all of his surprises :lol: but it's never boring with our good old Rob.

Oh good, Sabby, then at least it's two of us :lol:

Well, this can only be the intro for the video, right ? :unsure: I'm still hoping that the actual video will feature the usual Rob, that is not in drag lol If there are only scenes in it with him dressed like that, I can live with it. But I'm afraid I have to agree with everyone, the press will just love this... :cry:

Bored and uninterested ? I just interpreted it as him being tired. :unsure: Well, it's hard to please everyone. Maybe he shouldn't have recorded that message at all, if some people take it like ICR did. Seems like he can't do much right at the moment. :cry: Personally, I still think it was lovely. But maybe I'm just being naive or being distracted by the fact that he looks adorable as he sits there talking. ^_^

How lovely is that message :wub: I've said all along that not a lot was happening on IS because of the tour and Rob focusing on that.

I think there are quite a few factors to be taken into consideration, the stupid tabloids playing a big part though. If you ask me the TT comeback didn't do him any favours either. And it gave the press even more c**p to write. :arrr:

As much as I'd like to see the video already, I'm pleased if they keep us waiting this time. The Lovelight video seemed so popular in the beginning, but there was this big gap until the release. And by that time it had almost disappeared from the TV screens... So awful timing I would say, let's hope they do better this time. -_- I guess the relase date will be more towards the end of January, so if they start playing it after the New Year that should do.
