Liam is an ugly inbred


ONE of the biggest feuds in the history of rock n’ roll is about to kick off AGAIN.

I have uncovered a secret track recorded by ROBBIE WILLIAMS which slags off arch-rival LIAM GALLAGHER for being INBRED.

In Give Pies A Chance — a play on JOHN LENNON’s famous peace lyrics — Robbie sings a list of insults slating the Oasis frontman.

The abuse includes taunts about the Gallaghers’ looks and career, dubbing them Monkey Boys with Monotone eyebrows. It goes on to claim they’re: “Unemployed since being here right now.”

On the delicate issue of Liam’s ex, PATSY KENSIT, Robbie adds: Your Mrs fancies me — bet she wishes she’d waited ’til I was shifting units.

Ouch.

A source said: “Robbie recorded the track with songwriting partner GUY CHAMBERS when they were working on Sing When You’re Winning — their third album together back in 2000.

“They had two No1 albums under their belt at the time and were feeling pretty confident.

“The song ended up on the cutting room floor when they realised the almighty stink it would cause.”

Robbie and the Gallaghers did have a brief spell as boozing buddies at Glastonbury in the summer of 1995.

But things deteriorated rapidly.

NOEL famously labelled Rob “the fat dancer from TAKE THAT.”

Robbie retaliated, sending a wreath to The Sun to pass on to Oasis when their album Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants was released in 2000.

He included the message: “Just heard your latest album — RIP.”

When Robbie sold out Knebworth for three consecutive nights in 2003 — beating the two Oasis did in 1996 — he sent Noel a pair of tap dancing shoes with another message. It read: “Dear Mr N Gallagher, you said two nights at Knebworth is history. Well, I guess three is just greedy.

“Yours, Rob. PS: Finding it difficult to find adequate support for my show. What are you doing on the 1st and 2nd? Oh, and the 3rd?”

Pop god Rob also caused trouble with a track called Ghosts on his last album Intensive Care — about his bedroom antics with NICOLE APPLETON — now Liam’s fiancée.

At the time he said: “It’ll really fry the balding, pot-bellied ****’s head.”

Robbie is touring Argentina at the moment while Liam prepares for the launch of greatest hits album Stop The Clocks next month.

Just as well. I reckon the further apart they are, the better.
# Meanwhile, Robbie has once again threatened to quit touring.

He recently cancelled the Asian leg of his Close Encounters show and yesterday morning told Radio 2’s Ken Bruce: “I will probably never go on tour after this. That is unless I’ve got a divorce to pay for or a family and I want to get out of the house.

“I love talking about my songs on radio but you can do that for three and a half minutes and go home.”

Apology to Nigel Martin Smith

October 18, 2006

On September 4th and 14th we wrote about "The Nineties", a song written by Robbie Williams for his soon to be released album.

The first piece carried quotes from the song and quotes from Robbie himself which alleged that Nigel Martin Smith, who used to manage Take That, either stole the profits from a European tour or incompetently failed to make any and lied to the band when they asked about it.

In fact, there is absolutely no truth in these allegations. The European tour did make money, the band were paid and the accounts were scrutinised by accountants and found to be unimpeachable.

We sincerely apologise to Nigel Martin Smith for the distress caused by publishing these allegations and have agreed to pay him compensation.

Не знала, что Роб продал столько альбомов..

Robbie Williams may rule the UK, but U.S. don't know him from Mrs. Doubtfire




Williams` solo career started brightly in the United States, with his ballad 'Angels' peaking on The Billboard Hot 100 at No. 53 in 2000. But since then, his seemingly doomed attempts to convert America have become as essential a part of his U.K. tabloid persona as his struggles with alcohol and drugs and his dalliances with celebrities from Rachel Hunter to Nicole Kidman.

Williams last made a concerted assault upon America in 2003 with album 'Escapology' (Chrysalis). But despite debuting at No. 43 on The Billboard 200, the album soon slipped from view, and Williams subsequently canceled plans to further tour the States. His career album sales to date stateside total slightly less than 1 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan, with U.S. debut 'The Ego Has Landed' (Capitol), a compilation of his first two U.K. records, accounting for more than half that figure. Neither his last album, 'Intensive Care' (2005), nor his new, electronica-inspired 'Rudebox,' out Oct. 23 in the United Kingdom, has had a physical U.S. release.

Williams lives in Los Angeles for much of the year but seems to have given up on making America his spiritual home, declaring in one recent U.K. radio interview: "The only way an album of mine is going to be in the States is if I leave it in Tower Records."

EMI Music U.K. & Ireland chairman/CEO Tony Wadsworth says demand from Williams` hardcore American fan base "is satisfied by imports and digitally" and attributes Williams` lack of progress there to the artist deliberately choosing to concentrate on other territories.

"When the American music business sees the sort of numbers he can do on record and live then they`ll start to realize that perhaps focusing his resources in the way that he has done was a clever thing to do," Wadsworth says. "He does between 5 and 6 million copies on every album without the United States. So, does he need the States? From a strictly business point of view, I would say the answer is 'no.'"

Others remain convinced that Williams still has a shot at U.S. success. James Blunt`s manager, 21st Artists` Todd Interland, says "You`re Beautiful" hit No. 1 in the United States thanks to Blunt`s work ethic.

"I think Robbie`s probably just giving it a brief rest because deep down every artist wants to conquer America," Interland says. "But Robbie would need to work differently to make it there. It`s so competitive in America, you can`t rest on your laurels and say, 'I`m a big star in the rest of the world.' You`ve really got to do the work."

The domestic buzz on 'Rudebox' is low-key for a Williams release, thanks to its much-touted "experimental" direction and the relative failure of its title track lead single, which peaked at No. 4 on the Official U.K. Charts Co. survey and spent only four weeks in the top 20. Lead singles from Williams albums generally peak at No. 1 or No. 2. But the retail sector remains enthusiastic over what is still likely to be one of 2006`s biggest-selling albums.

Gary Rolfe, head of music for U.K. market-leading retailer HMV, says: "The simple fact of the matter is that Robbie has a huge and dedicated fan base that is receptive to everything he tries. He now consistently delivers 2 million-plus sales for each major release. I don`t see why it should be any different for this album." And internationally, Williams remains hot property. He will perform two songs at the MTV Video Music Awards Latin America Oct. 19 in Mexico City - and his huge popularity in South America may yet provide him with a backdoor route to the States.

Jose Tillan, senior VP of music programming and talent strategy for MTV Networks Latin America and MTV Tr3s, is mystified that huge success in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Colombia has failed to translate to the United States. "The songs are great, he`s a good-looking guy . . . you`d think it was a no-brainer for the American market," Tillan says. "If we got another 'Angels,' we`d definitely try to do something with it on MTV Tr3s."

In the meantime, Williams will just have to console himself with being music`s biggest artist outside America.

SOUTH OF THE BORDER

Internationally, Williams remains hot property. He will perform two songs at the MTV Video Music Awards Latin America October 19 in Mexico City -- and his huge popularity in South America may yet provide him with a back-door route to the States.

Williams is perhaps the top-selling international act in Latin America at the moment. According to EMI, in the region he has sold nearly 3 million copies of his entire catalogue, dating back to 1998. He has aggressively targeted the Latin market via Spanish-language versions of his hits "Angels" and "Sing When You're Winning."

Jose Tillan, senior vice president of music programming and talent strategy for MTV Networks Latin America and the Latin-focused MTV Tr3s, is mystified that huge success in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Colombia has failed to translate to the United States. "The songs are great, he's a good-looking guy ... you'd think it was a no-brainer for the American market," Tillan says.

Робби Уильямс устроил собственное киносостязание
Певец Робби Уильямс (Robbie Williams) обратился к группе молодых режиссеров с просьбой снять небольшие фильмы на основе его песни «The 80s» с альбома «Rudebox». При помощи кинокритика Джонатана Росса (Jonathan Ross) и режиссера Дэвида Паттнэма (David Puttnam) Робби выберет из картин лучшую, а ее создатель получит вознаграждение в размере 7 500 фунтов стерлингов. Возможно также, что фильм-победитель будет показан одним из каналов.

WILLIAMS: 'I'LL ONLY QUIT IF I FALL IN LOVE'

Pop singer ROBBIE WILLIAMS will never retire from music - unless he falls in love. The 32-year-old, whose latest album RUDEBOX is released next week (23OCT06), has no plans to quit while there is no special lady in his life. He says, "There is always a song to be written. Until this dies within me, I will continue. "If I fall in love and want to travel around the world with that person, then perhaps I will stop. "But I am not in love. I have work to do which gives me a purpose in life."

BILLBOARD



Sir Elton John calls him "the No. 1 star in the world." In the United Kingdom, he is the single most recognizable musician working today, winner of a record 18 BRIT Awards and maker of six consecutive No. 1 studio albums. Worldwide, EMI Music says he has sold more than 51 million albums, singles and DVDs, with his last album opening at No. 1 in 18 different territories. His current world tour will see him play to 2.6 million fans, from Buenos Aires to Brisbane and Cape Town to Copenhagen.

But not every worldwide star gets to be a star in the United States. Ask Americans what they think of Robbie Williams and they'll probably tell you he hasn't made a decent movie since "Mrs. Doubtfire."

Williams' solo career started brightly in the United States, with his ballad "Angels" peaking on The Billboard Hot 100 at No. 53 in 2000. But since then, his seemingly doomed attempts to convert America have become as essential a part of his U.K. tabloid persona as his struggles with alcohol and drugs and his dalliances with celebrities from Rachel Hunter to Nicole Kidman.

My Madonna song's stalkerish

[реклама вместо картинки]

October 20, 2006

IT’S taken a decade and nine albums but Robbie Williams has finally dared to make the album he’s always wanted to make.

Teaming up with Pet Shop Boys, Lily Allen, William Orbit and uber producer Mark Ronson, Robbie has turned his back on his usual pop niche market, bravely stepping out of his trademark music zone with his most experimental album to date.

Gone are the lighters-aloft ballads and cheeky sing-along anthems, replaced by rap (well Robbie’s attempts to) electro-grooves, covers of Eighties hits and a self-confessed stalker tribute to Madonna.

Robbie says: “I’m more confident now. When I left Take That and started my solo career, I developed a songwriting partnership with Guy Chambers that just ran and ran for five albums and you get into a comfort zone. You know this person and you know what you’re going to do — you’re not scared to try things out.

“And as that ran its course, I had no other option but to go out and explore and go and work with other people. Mark’s given me the confidence to go and do that.”

Clearly Robbie has got bored with the musical style that made him a star — and you have to admire him for daring to break away. But is it too late?

Rudebox, his first release from the album has been ridiculed. Rightly so. Robbie’s attempts to rap are more Goldie Lookin’ Chain than Mike Skinner.

When it does work, as on the anthemic Lovelight — a sweeping funked-up cover of the Lewis Taylor soul track — it is up there with his best.

And Never Touch That Switch, a track written by Soul Mekanik gives him the credibility he is desperate for.

Robbie says: “When I was a kid all I listened to was hip-hop. My first records were Electro-1 and Electro-5. At school, all I ever listened to was Eazy-E, NWA, Public Enemy and The Jungle Brothers. Every week I’d buy a new tape with the money my grandma kindly gave me.”

On Bong Bong and Je Ne T’aime Plus, a cover of French folk singer Manu Chao, Lily Allen provides backing vocals and it is one of album’s decent cover versions.

With its pounding tribal beat and Lily’s dreamy-vocals, this track is one of the best. Robbie says: “I picked songs only a certain cross section of people would know. King Of The Bongo was one and Lovelight was one of those. I wouldn’t have known about Lovelight if it hadn’t have been for Tom Middleton’s The Trip album. I fell in love with it instantly. I can’t believe how big that song is and no one knows it.

“And King Of The Bongo was played to me by a couple of friends of mine six years ago and I always thought ‘I’ve got to cover this’ and now was the right time.

“There is a whole catalogue of things I’d like to do, I’d like to do a covers album of covers. There are some really good covers of covers to cover.”

She’s Madonna is the talking track of the album. Written by Robbie and his pals Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, it’s got the signature chiming electro sound of the Pet Shop Boys all over, with witty lyrics about Guy Ritchie dumping ex Tania Strecker (also an ex of Robbie’s) for Madge.

Robbie explains: “I sent the track to Madonna and she really liked it. I also sent her Rudebox and she didn’t really like it. You could say that the track is a bit stalkerish. She wanted to know what it was about. I lied.

“She said, ‘Is it the futility of being in love with Madonna? Is it the futility of being in a relationship with Madonna? Do you like Madonna in the track?’ It’s quite a day sending a song to Madonna about her. She’d heard I’d done it.”

But this album isn’t going to win over any new Robbie fans because as a ninth album, experimentation comes too late.

His covers of Stephen ‘Tin Tin’ Duffy’s Kiss Me and The Human League’s Louise are akin to any karaoke down your local pub — despite Joey Negro and William Orbit twiddling the production knobs.

Plus, the rapping really makes this album an easy target to laugh at.

SFTW VERDICT: All in all Robbie deserves a pat on the back for finally rounding up some cool-name co-writers and producers.

It’s just a shame his comedy rap vocals let the songs down.

WILLIAMS' 'SPECIAL OLYMPICS' LYRIC UPSETS DISABLED

Pop star ROBBIE WILLIAMS has been slammed by disabled organisations after a lyric on his new album calls for fans to "dance like you just won the Special Olympics". Williams' latest disc, RUDEBOX, is released this week (begs23OCT06) and the unedited version of the title track has angered many. When released as a single the word "special" was cut from Rudebox to avoid offending listeners - but the uncensored version is on the album. ANNE PRIDMORE, chairwoman of the British Council Of Disabled People, says, "I am a big Robbie Williams fan and I went to see him recently, but I will not be buying this album. "I find the lyric about the Special Olympics highly offensive and it is rank disablism." But Williams' spokeswoman says, "He adores sport of any kind and is full of admiration for disabled athletes."

I'M JUST THE GIRL TO SHUT ROBBIE UP

Lucy Sweet

I'VE never been much of a fan of Robbie Williams . . . he's got a face made for punching and his records are rubbish.

In fact, give me Mark Owen any day.

But Robbie's lonely plight touched my heart this week when I read that all he wants to do is fall in love.

Robbie, who is about to release another critically panned album, Rudebox, said:"If I fall in love and want to travel round the world with that person, perhaps I'll stop doing music."

I couldn't believe it. Could this also mean he'll quit the self-indulgent whining about how hard it is to be a lonely rock star with a squillion pounds in the bank? If so, I would like to grit my teeth and volunteer my services.

I'm 34, with a GSOH, VBK (Very Big Knockers) and a valid 10-year passport.

Lovelight - The Remixes

http://www.sendspace.com/file/oo2v3b

http://www.sendspace.com/file/1ruoip

"Lovelight" is an Pop-rock song written by Lewis Taylor and recorded for his 2003 album Stoned, Pt. 1. Robbie Williams recorded a cover version of it for his 2006 album Rudebox, and it is scheduled for release as the album's second single in November 2006. Williams said "I can't believe how big that song is and no one knows it." Mark Ronson, who produced the cover, compared Williams' "great classic blue-eyed soul vocal" on the song to George Michael, Andy Gibb and Hall & Oates.

Jake Nava directed the single's video, which was shot in Vienna and premiered on ITV1 on 6 October.

Robbie's Mum gives new album thumbs up


Robbie Williams's new album has been given the thumbs up by his harshest critic - his Mum.

Just like millions of adoring fans, Robbie's mum Jan eagerly waited to her son's latest album this weekend.

Jan receives copies of Robbie's albums before their official release. She had previously heard rough demo versions of the songs on her son's ninth album - but wants to hear the polished version before she passes comment on Rudebox itself.

She said: "I did see some rough stuff from the beginning of things and there were a lot of references to Stoke-on-Trent in them.

"He's very excited about it and I know he has really enjoyed doing it. I like the album and I think it's something that's going to grow on people.

"It's something that he has wanted to explore and he's very happy with it and I think it's a good album - you may say I'm biased but I'm his worst critic."

Robbie, aged 32, worked with fellow Stoke-on-Trent musicians Kelvin Andrews and Danny Spencer on the album, who perform together as renowned dance act Soul Mekanik. - now a renowned dance act but who had a huge hit with a reworking of the Beatles's classic Strawberry Fields, as Candy Flip.

He enjoyed working with his ST5 collaborators so much that he has shown off his Potteries roots in Rudebox more than on any of his previous albums.

Writing on his website about the title track of his album and first single Rudebox, Robbie says: "Danny and Kelvin sent me the basic drum beat and it just became a floor-shaker, with lyrics straight out of Stoke-on-Trent.

"My head's been in some strange places and taken some strange exit turns since I was 15. When we get in the studio we gel and we know where we are going; we get excited when it's right. I think the synchronicity of where we come from and how we are as people adds its own certain chemistry when we get in the studio."

Signal 1's Andy Goulding has high expectations of the new album.

He said: "There won't be the usual ballads and soft rock or pop - it's going to be a little bit experimental."

Признания Робби

Поп-певец признался, что наркотики и алкоголь, которыми Робби злоупотреблял в молодости, вызывали у него.... аппетит к различным сексуальным приключениям: "когда я принимал накротики, у меня отказывали все тормоза. Я занимался сексом в поездах, самолетах и в барах. И даже на парковках. Сейчас, даже если я втсречаюсь с девушкой, я могу просто посидеть дома, посмотерть телевизор, и когда на экране появляется какая-нибудь известная певица или актриса, у меня возникая мысль: "Ооо мне она нравится!" Мадонна - одна из них..."
Сейчас Робби покончил с девушками на одну ночь, поскольку ему надоело, что это ни к чему не приводит, зато на следующий день все газеты пестрят историями об этом.

Бой Джордж смешал с грязью Мадонну и Робби Уильямса


Знаменитый английский певец Бой Джордж (Boy George), в прошлом - солист одной из самых ярких поп-групп 80-х Culture Club, рассказал о себе в новом документальном фильме, который был показан 17 октября британским кабельным каналом "Channel 4".



Фильм привлек к себе внимание откровениями Боя Джорджа, который поведал, что любит побаловаться на досуге с "парнями легкого поведения", которым потом платит. По словам музыканта, он этого ни капельки не стесняется, потому что "проституция - одна из самых уважаемых профессий".



45-летний Бой Джорж говорит, что тратит кучу времени на поиск партнера по интернету. "Я люблю гей-секс. Натуралы занимались такими вещами долгие годы. Проституция - древнейшая и наиболее уважаемая профессия, и мне не кажется, что в этом есть что-то неправильное", - сообщил музыкант.



За последний год на долю Боя Джорджа выпало немало испытаний: арест за хранение кокаина, после которого музыкант был приговорен к общественным работам и под прицелом видеокамер подметал улицы. А недавно на него подал в суд промоутер одного из клубов, где Джордж должен был выступить как ди-джей, получил гонорар, однако обещанных услуг не предоставил.



О Мадонне Бой Джордж сказал: "Я уверен, что она - мерзкий, ужасный человек, в котором нет ни одной положительной черты, - заявил Бой Джордж. - Ничего в ней нет хорошего. Я вообще никогда не слышал, чтобы кто-нибудь положительно о ней отзывался. Все, кто ее встречал, потом говорили, что она вела себя с ними отвратительно".



"Мерзкая, полностью зацикленная на себе, бездухованая... Как этой женщине удается быть такой - и не влипать в неприятности?" - удивляется он.



О Робби Вильямсе Бой Джордж сказал: "Ему следовало бы попросить меня о помощи: его последний альбом ужасен. Он дошел до ручки, ему срочно нужна песня вроде вторых "Ангелов" ["Angels" - одна из самых успешных баллад Вильямса], или еще что-нибудь действительно крассное. А по сравнению с его последними вещами Ронан Китинг кажется просто гением [Ronan Keating - ирландский певец, бывший участник группы Boyzone, который начал сольную карьеру, но бешеной популярностью не пользовался]". Об этом пишет Gaywired.Сom.

Robbie has confessed to enjoying sex in public places




The 'Let Me Entertain You' singer - who has dated a string of celebrities including model Rachel Hunter and singer Nicole Appleton - says his excessive use of drink and drugs during his early career awakened his appetite for daring sexual thrills.
He told Britain's More magazine: "When I used to take drugs, you lose your inhibitions. I've had sex in trains, planes and wine bars. And quite a few car parks." The heartthrob admits he would love to get up close and personal with Madonna.
He said: "Even when I'm going out with a girl, I could be home watching TV and a famous girl will come out and I'll think, 'Oh, I fancy her.' Madonna is one of those women." Robbie says he doesn't bother with one-night stands anymore - because they are hard work.
The 'Angels' singer - who reportedly has a special book of notes about his conquests - says casual relationships no longer appeal to him because he can't be bothered with the aftermath.
He said: "I suppose one-night stands are becoming too much of a palaver. If a girl comes to my place, nine out of 10 times you will not want to see her in the morning. So these days I can't really be bothered." The heartthrob says he finds it hard to find romance in Britain because of his popularity and now only dates American women.
He said: "I've been out with girls here. In Los Angeles, I can try and meet my special someone without the papers f***ing it up."

Умственно отсталые инвалиды начали травлю Робби Уильямса


Робби Уильямс (Robbie Williams) попал под огонь критики Британского совета инвалидов (British Council of Disabled People) из-за одного-единственного поставленного не на то место слова. Само по себе это слово - «special» («особый» или «специальный» с английского) - вряд ли кого-нибудь обидит, а вот в сочетании с «olympics» может привести к настоящему скандалу. Как это произошло в случае с Робби, сообщает @Music.



А парень всего-то и провинился, что включил в свой новый диск «Rudebox» неотредактированную версию титульного хита. Камнем преткновения стала строка «dance like you just won the Special Olympics» («тайцуй, как будто выиграл в Special Olympics»). Вышедшая на сингле композиция слова «special» не содержала. Появилось оно только в альбомной версии. А Special Olympics - это не что иное как Олимпийские игры для спортсменов с отклонениями в умственном развитии (не путать с Паралимпийскими играми). В таком виде песня получила новый смысл.



«Считаю этот выпад в адрес наших подопечных глубоко оскорбительным, - заявила председатель Совета Энн Придмор. - Я лично являюсь большой поклонницей творчества мистера Уильямса, однако его новый альбом покупать не буду». Придмор также призвала всех неравнодушных к проблеме выживания инвалидов в «нормальном» обществе поддержать ее начинание.



Сам Робби Уильямс, по-видимому, и не предполагал, какой вызовет скандал безобидная по его меркам строчка. По словам пресс-атташе артиста, он ни коим образом не хотел оскорбить кого бы то ни было. «Робби очень любит спорт и особо восхищается мужеством атлетов с физическими или интеллектуальными недостатками», - заявил в ответ представитель музыканта.



Сингл «Rudebox» занял в сентябре четвертое место в национальном британском чарте. Выпущенный в минувший понедельник альбом, как прогнозируют специалисты, по итогам недели займет верхнюю строчку хит-парада с результатом не менее 200 тысяч проданных копий. Предыдущая работа Уильямса, «Intensive Care» 2005-го года выпуска, разошелся в первую неделю почти вдвое бОльшим тиражом.

(видела его в репортаже с вручения награт МТВ... показушник!)

Los Angeles, CA (BANG) - Regardless of what anybody tells you, this solo artist insists he's not only bringing sexy back, but the best singing voice too. Justin Timberlake recently said he's got the best vocal pipes behind the microphone and is an even better singer than British pop sensation Robbie Williams.

The pop superstar took a swipe at Robbie when asked if his forthcoming tour would match up to the "Angels" singer's recent "Close Encounters" world tour.

Justin said, "I'm way better than him."

The 25-year-old singer, who is dating blonde-now-brunette actress Cameron Diaz, also hinted at what makes his relationship so successful - a good sex life.

When asked what his secret talents were, Justin coyly replied, "Those sorts of talents I like to keep a secret."

Despite boasting about his bedroom prowess, Justin - who is hosting the MTV European Music Awards in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Thursday night - insists he doesn't feel like a sex symbol.

The "SexyBack" star - who previously dated Britney Spears - said, "I'm not going to say I haven't created an image to go with these records. It is a part of the fun of being on stage."

Popstar Robbie Williams has reportedly apologised to Oasis man Noel Gallagher for including a detrimental song about him on his new number one album ‘Rudebox’.

The song, entitled ‘Dickhead’ was Robbie’s half hearted attack on his old friends the Gallaghers.

However, in an email to the Gallagher’s management company Robbie apologises for the song’s inclusion on his new album and attempts to make amends.

But, Noel is having none of it, he told The Sun about the contents of the email saying: “He sent this note to our office claiming he didn’t know it was on the album. He can fuck right off. I don’t give a fuck what he thinks and I don’t give a fuck about him.”

A source at the Oasis office confirmed they had received an email saying: “Robbie said he was really sorry and claimed he didn’t know how the track had got on the album.

“He apologised to Noel and Liam and everyone else involved.”

Seems as though his apology is too little too late.

NOEL GALLAGHER has revealed ROBBIE WILLIAMS sent Oasis a grovelling apology for his song slagging off him and LIAM.

I uncovered Robbie’s cheeky tune, where he berated Liam for being inbred, last month.

And after I printed the lyrics to D***head, a secret track on No1 album Rudebox, Robbie fired off a desperate note to Oasis’ management trying to get out of trouble.

Noel told me of the contents of the paranoid email during the Q Awards held at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel yesterday. And he dished out a trademark slating to his old adversary into the bargain.

Noel said: “I read your story about the song. I haven’t heard the album — I doubt I will — apparently that’s the best track on it.

“He sent this note to our office claiming he didn’t know it was on the album. He can f*** right off. I don’t give a f*** what he thinks and I don’t give a f*** about him.”

I can also reveal the contents of Robbie’s grovelling email.

A source at Oasis HQ told me: “Robbie said he was really sorry and claimed he didn’t know how the track got on the album.


“He said he had no idea how the story got in The Sun, claiming the only copy of the song was on his computer.

“He apologised to Noel and Liam and everyone else involved.”

Robbie and The Gallaghers have had a long-running feud.

Last month Robbie told me it must be hard being Noel as he has to listen to cheesy music. But Noel hit back yesterday adding: “I love Abba and I love Britney Spears.”

Noel is the last person I would expect to make a camp statement like that. But he did redeem himself by ridiculing PAUL WELLER’s man-bag.

I told you yesterday Liam’s excuse for having one was that the Modfather was a proud owner too.

Noel said: “Weller came to our housewarming with this manbag thing but wouldn’t say what it contained.

“Eventually he coughed that his soul was in it. That’s where Liam got the idea.”

Come on Liam, time for a big night out to air your manbag.

That should give Robbie ammunition for another song entirely . . .

Я, как дура, расплываюсь в самой своей идиотской улыбке, беру его в руки и прижимаю к сердцу. Всё вокруг начинает плыть перед глазами, сердце бешено колотится и весь мир исчезает, кроме меня и этого квадратного коробка в моих руках. Я глажу его, прижимаю поближе к сердцу и начинаю нашептывать ему о том, как долго я ездила сюда, пока не купила его. Потом, нарадовавшись вволю направлюсь на небольшую прогулку по Союзу. Нагибаюсь к ДиВиДИ с Ультимативной коллекцией ТАКЕ ТНАТ. Долго держу её в руках, поглаживаю, прислоняя к Робу и ставлю на место. Выхожу из магазина и с лицом, скорее мрачным направляюсь к дому. Все мои ощущения в этот момент замирают в ожидании приезда домой и прослушивания ЧУДА! Это напоминает мне Артура Стюарта.

Люда, Хопа, Жанна, Нюр, Обь -все были в Ногинске, а меня не отпустили родители(( Помню как прийдя домой ( а на Горбушку я поехала без денег) я была такая счастливая)) Сразу же написала об этом письмо Жанночке)) А через неделю мы с Людом поехали за альбомом. Ещё надо сказать, что в то время у меня не было на чем слушать СиДи, а было только у Хопы, посему мы купили три пустые аудиокассеты (мне, Люду и Хопе). Хорошо что Люда была со мной. Мы обежали всю Горбушку , а Роб, как пропал. Осталась одна палатка и мы подошли к ней с обычным вопросом , есть ли у них альбом Робби Уильямса! Сейчас это кажется нонсенсом, но тогда продавец сказал, что такого вообще не знает и таких альбомов у них нет. Но вот она - СУДЬБА! Наш разговор услышал его напарник и сказал, что у него остался последний и он счас принесет! Эти минуты мне казались Вечностью! А когда он принес я отдала деньги и взяла альбом в руки... Слава Богу Люд меня удержала. Я буквально от счастья чуть не бухнулась в обморок))) И такое бывает у таких впечатлительных натур, как Я)) Потом, конечно же, приехали к Хопе и стали записывать альбом на кассеты. Параллельно писали ощущения друг у друга в дневниках)) И вот в последний раз, когда записывали альбом забыли его остановить на последней песне и услышали ЭТОТ СТИХ! Это было так неожиданно! ТАК ВОЛШЕБНО)) Будто БОБ сидит рядом и читает этот стих)) Hello,Sir, remember me... Далее по тексту))
Кстати, в этот раз БОБастый тоже приготовил прикольный рэп на закуску)) Вообще Роб всегда и безошибочно попадает со своими альбомами в моё настроение, состояние. И в этот раз. Что особенно заметно в Рудбоксе, так это ностальгия по 80-м и 90-м. По, скажем так, ранней молодости. РОБОЧКА - УМНИЧКА!! Как же я его ЛЮБЛЮ)) НЕ-И-МО-ВЕР-НО!!!!!!
И напоследок очень хочется напомнить, что 9 ноября будет ДЕНЬ Х! Трие года назад мы были на концерте РОБА)) Прикиньте, мы пришли самые первые! Там ещё даже кардоны милицейские не успели поставить)) Мы затарились едой в Макдональдсе и стали ждать. На пронизывающем ветру. Помню было дико холодно! Но мы были первые)) Правда внутри малость подрастерялись и в итоге стояли ряду в третьем или четвертом! Помню Люд, проявив поистине свою портняческую смекалку, приколола пакет со своей шляпой к брюкам)) И так весь концерт с пакетом между ног и пропрыгала))

ТАНЮШКА, Я ЛЮБЛЮ ТЕБЯ ЗА НАШИ БДЕНИЯ БЕСКОНЕЧНЫЕ У БАЛЧУГА, ЗА НОЧНЫЕ БДЕНИЯ У ТЕБЯ ДОМА, ЗА РОББИ, ЗА МАРКА, ЗА ГАРИ, ЗА ДЖЕЙСОНА, ЗА ХОВАРДА))) ЗА ТАКЕ ТНАТ)))

Snubbed ... Robbie could not get Lindsay's attention

LOVELORN Robbie Williams made a play for Hollywood party girl Lindsay Lohan — but was left stunned when she blanked him.


He ambled up to the 20-year-old actress in a club and tried to deliver a chat-up line, but she just gave him a “weird look” and walked off.

Red-faced Robbie, who has a £90million fortune, quietly left the nightspot with his two minders. An onlooker said: “Robbie was hanging around in the VIP area with his bodyguards when he saw his chance to chat up Lindsay.

“After making a bit of eye contact he went over. But she was having none of it. She just turned on her heels and walked away.”

The singer, 32, had arrived at Los Angeles club Hyde looking dapper in a jacket with tails and jeans.

Onlookers said he immediately started trying to chat up girls before noticing Lindsay — currently dating Diana Ross’s son Evan, 18.

One said: “He seemed to be in a huge hurry and was hitting on every attractive girl in the vicinity.”

Robbie recently told how he would only quit music if he fell in love.

He said work gives him a “purpose”.

He added: “If I fall in love and want to travel around the world with that person, then perhaps I will stop.

“But I’m not in love. I have work to do which gives me a purpose in life.”

MINOGUE'S FESTIVE INVITATION

Pop star KYLIE MINOGUE could be sharing her Christmas Day (06) dinner with ROBBIE WILLIAMS, after inviting the British singer round for a festive meal. The SPINNING AROUND hitmaker was reportedly stunned to hear Williams would be spending his holiday by himself, because touring commitments in her native Australia would keep him away from his family. In return for inviting her to perform their duet KIDS at one of his gigs, Minogue wants the RUDEBOX singer to celebrate with her relatives instead. A source says, "Robbie had let it be known that he was staying on in Australia for a holiday after his tour had ended. And when Kylie heard about it she couldn't bear the thought of him spending Christmas alone - or in a hotel room. "So she has extended an invitation to come to the family home for lunch." Minogue's own cancer-interrupted tour starts in Sydney next week (11NOV06).

Robbie's rude and ready

November 09, 2006 12:00am

ROBBIE Williams conquers demons and bullies with his success, writes Cameron Adams.

It's a bizarre moment. Robbie Williams is at home in LA, doing a phone interview.

We're talking about Take That, his former boy band who reunited -- minus their most famous former member -- earlier this year.

They have a new single, Patience.

Williams says he hasn't heard it.

"The only way I can get it is by illegally downloading it," he says.

And so he is introduced to the wonders of www.youtube.com

"Is it on there?" Williams says, excitedly, moving over to his computer.

"Hang on (types). Take . . . That . . . How do you spell patience?"

A quick spelling lesson later, the sounds of Take That, circa 2006, blare out.

Williams pauses. "Ah, I think I'll take a look at this after we've talked. It's a bit too weird, really."

Oddly, in 2006, Williams and Take That are both releasing albums and touring.

Williams didn't take part in the re-formation tour -- he had the slight matter of his own record-breaking, global stadium jaunt -- but filmed a verse of the band's hit Could It Be Magic, which was shown at the shows.

There were offers to return to the studio for the comeback album, but Williams says he didn't have time.

After years of slagging off former bandmate Gary Barlow, the pair have reconciled.

"It was slightly tense, slightly relaxing," Williams says of meeting Barlow after so long.

"There were mixed feelings, mixed emotions . . . the way I see it, it's like a school reunion. It might be fun for the first hour or so, but it doesn't mean you want to come back the next day and sit through Geography, French and Religious Education. The reunion might be nice, but I don't really want to do the work."

Take That has been a constant love/hate theme in Williams' solo career.

"When I was 17, 18, 19, 20, I wanted to be Liam Gallagher," he says. "I wanted to be something other than in a boy band. I thought being in a boy band was terrible, horrendous, shallow and all that business. We worked our balls off. But I see Take That for what it was.

"I'm proud of Take That, proud of the songs, of what we did. I've made my peace with it."

Part of that peace comes on Williams' new album Rudebox. One track, The 90s, deals with his private joining -- and very public departure from -- the boy band.

In the song, Barlow is labelled "a cock" and meetings with Versace and Diana are detailed. He even recalls how his father talked him into staying with the band in the early days, when Williams was planning to be an entertainer at holiday camps.

"My dad said to me, 'How would you feel if they were No.1 and you were in a camp in Wales?' Because of that I stayed. Sound advice. Everything in that song happened."

There are large gaps in the song where lyrics regarding Williams' hatred of Take That's manager, Nigel Martin-Smith, have been removed for legal reasons. The subject has fuelled some of Williams' most vitriolic lyrics in the past. However some of the insinuations and physical threats in The 90s -- whose lyrics were leaked to a newspaper before the album's release -- caused the manager to decide enough was enough. The singer removed the words before a court case.

At this point Williams bites his tongue.

"It's such a shame the full lyric isn't on there," he says.

"The 90s as a song is probably my best work. But at the moment I can't say much about anything. I'm getting very stern looks even saying this. But it'd be really bad if someone uploaded it and put the whole song on there. I bet people could find it somewhere."

After years of slagging off everyone, it seems the law has hit Williams where it hurts.

He says of his world tour: "I've been working my testicles off. I've had the hardest year since joining Take That, when we were worked as if we were in a sweat shop."

He pauses. "I probably can't say that. I need to justify everything I say now. I'd need to go and find that sweatshop they built for us in Manchester and make some Nikes."

He also grows quiet when asked about another new song, She's Madonna.

The chorus, "I love you baby, but face it, she's Madonna", is reportedly what Guy Ritchie told his former lover, Tania Strecker (who's also an ex of Williams) when he left her for his famous wife.

"I'm not allowed to say anything. I don't want to get into trouble. I really want to get away from mentioning anything about what the song's about or Madonna."

Williams got another lesson about the power of the British press when he released his hip hop throwback Rudebox as the first single from the album of the same name.

British newspaper The Sun called it "the worst song ever made". The song didn't make No.1 in Britain and divided Williams' fans.

"I think unfortunately people had their minds made up for them," Williams says. "I noticed it when I got to the UK on this tour. I do Rudebox in the show everywhere else and the place goes mental. I got to Scotland and did Rudebox and the crowd physically took a step back. I was made to feel as welcome as a ginger stepchild."

Rudebox is the album Williams has always wanted to make but never had the confidence.

Williams obsesses over his sales around the world. Rudebox debuted at No.1 in Britain (only Elvis has had more No.1 albums as a male solo act) but the sales were lower than usual. It hasn't escaped his attention.

"Don't get me wrong, the number of sales I've got would send anyone else over the moon. But it's less than half what I normally do. I've had an amazing run. If the tide has turned, then I'll have to deal with that. But it's making me scratch my beard and go, 'OK, what's next?'

"With this album, if it were purely on music alone, it should be my biggest-selling album. But with the music industry it's hardly ever about the standard of music."

He refuses to accept Rudebox is a commercial risk for an artist who has filled stadiums with big ballads and rock anthems; none of either are on Rudebox, which instead visits electropop, hip hop, dance and 1980s covers.

"What I am guilty of with Rudebox as the first single is me thinking it was an absolute crushing worldwide No.1," Williams says. "I am guilty of that and I'm wrong. I still love it as much as when I thought it was a crushing worldwide No.1 single, but I'm wrong."

The interview starts to resemble a therapy session when Williams reveals he obsessively reads bad reviews of his work and that a bad review "ruins" an album for him.

"That's part of me being mental as a human being. I'm searching for the negative and it's so counterproductive because it can ruin your album for you. That song becomes the s--- song that was reviewed by that c--- instead of the joyous piece of work you enjoyed creating until the opinion was formed. It's f---ing stupid."

Williams points out that Rudebox has drawn his best reviews from some unlikely sources, but though it's a creative high, he will judge its success by its sales rather than its artistic merit.

"I'm competitive. It'd be like saying to an athlete going for a gold medal at the Olympics, 'You're not going to judge yourself on whether you get a medal, are you?' The tangible thing about my success is my success. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

"People might think I'm just making records for a mass market. Yeah, I am. I am that mass market. I'm the boy who listened to the Top 40 on a Sunday and taped it and wanted to make songs like that. I have a populist taste. I watch Saturday-night TV, I listen to the radio. I find the joy in mindless light entertainment. What's heavy entertainment?"

Radiohead, perhaps?

"I'm light entertainment, that's what I do. I could never be Radiohead. I don't have the intellect, I don't think in the same way. It doesn't mean I have less passion about what I do and what I want to convey."

However, if Rudebox fails, don't expect Williams to put his tail between his legs and make Angels 2.

"Absolutely not. I'll probably go more different, if you want to call it, promo the f--- out of it and batter people into submission. I've got another Swing (When You're Winning) album coming out next. I enjoyed doing that, it's part of my contract as well, but at the same time I'm going to write another album and I can guarantee it won't sound like Intensive Care, Escapology, or, for that matter, Rudebox.

"I'd rather give up than write Come Undone again. It's just not me. If my record sales go down it doesn't mean I'm going to pander to the general public by doing that. My imitation of what I think is a good song has been my truth. I'd rather not make records if I had to go back and recover old ground."

Imitation is a strange word to use when describing your own music, but it's one that Williams finds helpful to explain what he does.

"With my albums I've just being doing an impression of what I think a big song or a good song should sound like. The reason I'm here is because people enjoy what I do."

The public enjoys seeing him live, but it's Williams' least favourite part of the job.

The record-breaking Close Encounters world tour will be his last "for a long time". He's already looking forward to the final leg in Australia, "where I'll select members of the audience to sample".

Though he turns on the frontman charm, he also admits it's all an act, albeit a good one.

"Who I am on stage is not who I am in real life. I'm kind of at odds with that person. The persona I've created for on-stage is someone and something that's served me really well. People liked it, they came back and back until there were stadiums full all around the world.

"To reach an audience in a stadium you have to make grand gestures. To be honest, I'd much rather stand there with my hands on the microphone and sing the song with a blank expression, but that's not what people have come to expect. I'm basically doing an impression of what I think a rock star or a pop star is.

"I was watching The Rocky Horror Show last night. That scene where Frank N. Furter comes down in the lift . . . I watched that whole number and realised I've based most of my performance around Dr Frank N. Furter. The walk, the singing, the facial expressions -- it's uncanny. I got scared watching it. I thought, 'That's me!' "

Though he's proud he'll play to a record-breaking three million people on his 2006 world tour, he finds it hard to accept compliments.

"The reason most people are on stage is to get the bullies. I must say being bullied fuels a good half of my career. That's why there's been eight studio albums in 10 years. I feel tremendously bullied by sociopathic nasty people."

Has he beat the bullies?

"Not yet. You never beat anything. You beat it by accepting it for what it is. I'm not mature enough to accept it yet. One day I will be."

Britney Spears to date Robbie Williams next?


Justin Timberlake, who reportedly stated he is a better singer than Robbie Williams, is listed with 20 to 1 odds.

Bobby Brown has odds of 80 to 1 while Michael Jackson is the long shot with 300 to 1 odds. Anything is possible where Britney Spears is concerned though.

For the novice gambler, a $1 bet on Robbie Williams would result in a $6 payout (plus the initial $1 bet) should he become Britney's next beau.

The record-breaking Close Encounters world tour will be his last "for a long time". He's already looking forward to the final leg in Australia, "where I'll select members of the audience to sample".

Though he turns on the frontman charm, he also admits it's all an act, albeit a good one.

"Who I am on stage is not who I am in real life. I'm kind of at odds with that person. The persona I've created for on-stage is someone and something that's served me really well. People liked it, they came back and back until there were stadiums full all around the world.

"To reach an audience in a stadium you have to make grand gestures. To be honest, I'd much rather stand there with my hands on the microphone and sing the song with a blank expression, but that's not what people have come to expect. I'm basically doing an impression of what I think a rock star or a pop star is.

"I was watching The Rocky Horror Show last night. That scene where Frank N. Furter comes down in the lift . . . I watched that whole number and realised I've based most of my performance around Dr Frank N. Furter. The walk, the singing, the facial expressions -- it's uncanny. I got scared watching it. I thought, 'That's me!' "

Though he's proud he'll play to a record-breaking three million people on his 2006 world tour, he finds it hard to accept compliments.

"The reason most people are on stage is to get the bullies. I must say being bullied fuels a good half of my career. That's why there's been eight studio albums in 10 years. I feel tremendously bullied by sociopathic nasty people."

Has he beat the bullies?

"Not yet. You never beat anything. You beat it by accepting it for what it is. I'm not mature enough to accept it yet. One day I will be."

Чтобы никто не говорил,что Боб выдрючивается, хоть внести поправку: у него просто дислексия.

Неудивительно, почему вы Робку не считаете своим Он эту татуху несколько лет тому назад сделал, в память о бабушке Бетти, буква 'B'.

несколько лет назад я совсем не следила за творчеством Роба, если бы он ее сделал, будучи в ТТ, я бы точно знала вообще, мне не нравятся татухи, поэтому особо и не рассматриваю. если бы еще одна была, то ничего, но в таком количестве
