Robbie Williams: the first to fly Virgin Galactic?

Rocket mogul: Billionaire Brit Sir Richard Branson has unveiled the first Virgin "spaceship," a six-passenger shuttle designed for suborbital space flight. Tickets are $190,000, there's no first class, and don't even think about cocktail service.

So, who gets to go first? According to BornRich, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, of course: "Apparently, the couple has has already paid £115,000 each to ensure they have a seat on the jet. The couple will be accompanied by the superstar Robbie Williams and William Shatner."

Robbie Williams' 'Lovelight’ video has exclusive first screening on ITV

EMI Records, IE Management & ITV have confirmed that the video for the new Robbie Williams single ‘Lovelight’ will receive an exclusive first screening on October 6th at 23:00 on ITV1 and later that night on ITV2.

For the first time on ITV, the network will broadcast the video as a stand alone five minute programme with further coverage on itv.com.

Guy Freeman, Controller of Music and Events says: “Robbie was a big hit with our viewers earlier in the year as he’s one of those rare performers who connects with an incredibly broad range of fans. As the new video has extremely high production values and is a great track, it only seems appropriate to offer viewers the chance to see it first on ITV.”

EMI Records Director of media Rebecca Coates says; “This is the first time that EMI Records/IE Management have had the chance to work with ITV on the exclusive broadcast of a stand alone video programme of any kind. The incredible new video for ' Lovelight ' by one of the UK's most popular artists, Robbie Williams is the perfect way to start things. ITV have given us a fantastic cross platform opportunity to deliver one of our key artists direct to his core audience and I hope that this is a programme strand that they can build on in the future.”

The spectacular and iconic new video was shot recently whilst in Vienna during a break from touring by director Jake Nava, whose previous video credits include Beyonce’s ‘Crazy In Love’, Kelis’ ‘Milkshake’ and Usher’s ‘Burn’ amongst others

‘Lovelight’ is released on November 13th on Chrysalis/EMI Records, and is the second single to be taken from his highly anticipated and forthcoming ‘Rudebox’ album which precedes the single on October 23rd.

‘Lovelight,’ recorded with NYC based uber-producer Mark Ronson earlier this year is a spectacular cover of Lewis Taylor’s criminally unknown soul-anthem. Together they have taken it from its warm soul roots, and transformed it into a building euphoric disco anthem featuring a full-on falsetto vocal performance that ranks amongst one of his most dynamic and definitive singles to date.

Robbie Williams has just completed the monumental European leg of his record breaking ‘Close Encounters’ World tour, culminating in a massive 5 nights at Milton Keynes Bowl and playing to over 2.5 million people along the way.

Kerry admits crush on Robbie

Kerry Katona has admitted to having a crush on Robbie Williams.

The ex-Atomic Kitten star revealed that she does not like the star's music, but would happily welcome him into her life.

Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: "Scientists say playing a Robbie Williams album while having sex helps people lose their inhibitions - I don't need help in that department. If I had Robbie Williams in the bedroom that would be a different matter. I wouldn't have him singing though, I would get him to entertain me in the only way he knows how."

Williams is not the only man in Katona's sights however, as the former Atomic Kitten member revealed: "I always thought 'The Hoff' (David Hasselhoff) was quite fit and even now he is pretty hot. He's tall, dark and handsome and looks good in a pair of swimming trunks - and not a lot of blokes can do that!"

Gangsta Rapper wants to thump me, says Robbie

Robbie Williams has told friend he believes a top gangsta rapper wants to beat him up.

According to the Mirror, the peculiar claim arose during a feud the 32-year-old singer has been having with Rod Stewart's stepson Ashley Hamilton over ownership of a song.

Stressed-out Robbie appeared to have lost the plot entirely when he told mates that one of singer/songwriter Ashley's associates had threatened to "set 50 Cent" on him.

The dispute centres on Ashley's claims that the pair worked together on the track She's Madonna on the singer's new album, Rudebox.

Ashley - whose mum Alana was Rod's first wife - alleges that Robbie eventually took the track to the Pet Shop Boys to finish and he was left without any credit or money.

The Mirror says a source close to Ashley said: "Robbie's behaviour was erratic to say the least. He was rambling and incoherent. The conversations just weren't going anywhere. He was outraged that Ashley had spoken publicly about this. He seemed to be losing the plot."

Ashley's spokesman said: "I'm aware of the calls but don't have any comment to make."

Rob's people said: "No comment."

Robbie Defends Rudebox

The singer’s rap efforts weren’t appreciated by everyone, but he doesn’t give a (back) flip…

Robbie Williams has admitted to MTV that 'Rudebox' is his favourite of his own tunes, despite many people being less than kind about it.

“It has a very special place in my heart,” he said. “I think out of any Robbie Williams song I’ve written, I’ve listened to 'Rudebox' the most. I’ve played it to death; it’s almost worn out my computer.”

Talking about the mixed reaction from fans to the track, he went on, “It’s confused me. Lots of people have said, ‘We don’t like it, we don’t get it’, but to me it’s really strong – it’s more of a single than 'Trippin’' was. I personally love it.”

But it’s not just Rudebox Robbie’s been blasting from his stereo – he’s also been blaring out a certain JT tune.

“I downloaded Justin’s song ‘SexyBack’ and play it before I get on stage in the evenings on this tour,” he ‘fessed.

“I do see similarities (with Rudebox) – it’s very funky and of a dance nature. I like Justin.”

Aw…

Robbie drops free Dublin Concert

Pop star Robbie Williams is facing criticism after pulling out of a free concert in Dublin, Ireland despite promising to return after his chaotic concert in June (06).

The hitmaker was left red-faced at the summer show when he attempted to make a spectacular entrance suspended from a gondola-like contraption over the stage - only for the mechanics to become stuck, leaving him dangling before he was rescued by technicians. Williams admitted the show was a fiasco, and subsequently vowed to the 80,000 fans he would play a gig for them for free by the end of 2006 to make up for it.

But he has since told promoters in the Irish capital he will not be fulfilling his promise after all. Williams recently ditched the entire Asian leg of his tour, scheduled for later this year (06), because he is reportedly exhausted after overdoing his onstage capers.

A spokesman for the star says honouring the dates would simply be "asking too much".

Robbie determined to continue tour

Doctors may have given British singer Robbie Williams strict orders to rest, but he's already planning to hit the road.

Williams, who recently admitted that he was suffering from depression, has reportedly told pals that he is "okay", and that after a two-week pit stop, he would be getting ready to perform at his South American tour.

"I'm okay. I'm exhausted and haven't been home for ten months because of my tour and promoting my album. It's all got too much for me and I have been told to rest for two weeks. My South American tour is coming up and I want to be ready for that," the News of the World quoted him, as telling pals.

Williams' six day long South American tour takes place next month in October, a time when his new album RudeBox is also released.

A pal revealed that though Williams was feeling "fragile", he was still determined to go through with the tour.

"He's not the first or the last person to go through this and is feeling fragile. But he wants to finish the tour and when he wants to do something he makes it happen," the friend said.

Williams was forced to cancel the Asian leg of his "Close Encounters" world tour due to "stress and exhaustion", but is determined not to let the same happen to his South American tour.

Robbie's £10m world tour on brink of disintegration

Holed up amid the bucolic splendour of a lavish country house hotel early this week, Robbie Williams was in an unutterably bad temper.

Pacing the floor of his suite as his retinue of advisers and hangers-on sat heads bowed in embarrassed silence, the singer launched into a four-letter-word-strewn stream of consciousness, complaining about everything from his constant insomnia to how he feels his fans don't appreciate him enough.

It was a somewhat erratic performance and one that - sadly for the talented Williams - has become an all too regular occurrence in recent weeks.

Five months into a gruelling world tour (this week he finished the UK leg after playing to more than half a million British fans) and his fragile health is of grave concern to those around him. Not least because it is threatening to cost his record company - and the star - a fortune.

This week, his management team announced that Robbie's £10 million tour of the Far East, planned for November, is being cancelled as they finally confirmed rumours that the star is exhausted and stressed.

On Tuesday, his understandably jittery handlers put him on a flight back to his home in Los Angeles for a two-week break, in the hope that he will recuperate in time to resume the tour in South America next month.

Some within his entourage are openly speculating that he won't come back.

Robbie battles depression

ROBBIE Williams is being treated for depression, the Daily Mirror can reveal.

The condition - which the troubled star, 32, has battled before - may help explain why he suddenly axed the Asian leg of his world tour this month.

Although the official reason given was that he had "stress and exhaustion", insiders say he has sunk to a new low.

A source close to him revealed: "He's suffered from depression before but feels things are getting worse and the tour was too much."

Robbie is being treated by Dr Mark Collins, a top expert at the Priory clinic in South West London.

The star has even flown him to California, where he lives, for sessions.

The source added: "He's determined to get the very best treatment."

The news comes as he has struggled in the charts and been hit by legal disputes. Comeback single Rudebox flopped and ex-manager Nigel Martin-Smith is threatening to sue over a track on his new album in which he is called an "evil man".

Robbie has talked openly about depression, which he first admitted battling in 2002. In a BBC documentary this month he told Stephen Fry: "I could get up in front of 35,000 or 40,000 people and go, 'Look at me, I'm ace!'

"Then as soon as I got off stage I'd get in the tour coach and go back to my bedroom and pull the duvet over my eyes."

Snap happy with Robbie

When Robbie Williams cancelled the Asian leg of his world tour last week due to exhaustion those outside his inner circle started to spin the wheel of speculation.

But the best way to cut through the rumour to the truth is to ask someone who knows him.

Who better than Karen McBride, the Manchester-based photographer hired to document the Robbie tour for a special 'on the road' book due to be released next year?

Karen has covered all the British dates and is likely to follow the Robster as he recovers.

She said: “I am knackered doing this tour and what I do is nowhere near the level Robbie achieves. God knows how shattered he must be with all the effort he puts in. I totally sympathise with him.”

Karen is well-known on the Manchester music circuit for her black and white images of up and coming rock bands but still can't quite believe her luck after being appointed official photographer for the former Take That star.

She said: “I was approached by a PR company in London working for Robbie in May. They said Robbie and his management had seen my black and white live pictures and really liked them. They asked me if I would come and do some of the gigs on his current tour.

“Of course, I said I would. But they have been really impressed with what the have seen of the pictures I have taken on the tour and we are now talking about making it a permanent arrangement.”

Karen, 43, has been at all of Robbie's UK dates on the current tour and her photos will form the backbone of a new book being planned.

She says: “I really like Robbie. He is very down to earth and hard-working which is why his fans love him so much. He is so easy to get on with and very relaxed with himself and around others. It's a real family atmosphere being on the road with him.

“He is a real joker too. When we were in Amsterdam recently one of the band had a birthday and Robbie put his face in his birthday cake while he was on stage.

“It is amazing getting this opportunity,” she tells me. “I have been taking photos for about 20 years and started by doing shots of my brother's band years ago. Then I took it up as a hobby but was doing so much work that after a while I decided to take it on professionally.”
“I have been doing it for a living now for about eight or so years.”

Karen was born in Rochdale, brought up in Salford but now lives in Sale. And the only thing she misses about home while being on the road with Robbie is her partner and her eight cats!

Tara looks after 'exhausted' Robbie

It seems the pop prince Robbie Williams was back in the arms of old flame Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, for one night only.

The 32-year-old singer recently cancelled the Asian leg of his world tour, due to "exhaustion" and took the opportunity to pop in on Tara's West London pad.

Tara, 34, told The Daily Mirror: "Yes we did meet last week. Robbie came to my flat for some tea."

She went on: "He was so exhausted. He has been doing so many tours it's taken it out of him."

The socialite, who recently had surgery on her caved-in nose, enjoyed a 10-day love-in with the singer in May and even reveals she had a starring part on his single, Rudebox.

"I love the album, especially as I'm on it," she said. "I say, 'hello, operator' on the single. I don't know if that has been cut out."

Robbie, 32, is also under pressure after the single failed to make No 1, with both Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake bagging higher slots in the charts.

Tara insists Robbie remains positive: "Robbie has decided not to read what anyone writes about Rudebox.

"He doesn't let the criticism get to him."

Robbie tops " fantasy kiss list'

Robbie Williams and Jessica Alba are top of a poll of Britain's top fantasy snogs.

The pair were listed alongside Hollywood sex symbols Angelina Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt in a survey of stars Britons would most like to pucker up to.

Pollsters YouGov found British men also fantasised about kissing Desperate Housewives bombshell Eva Longoria and England Footballer, Wayne Rooney's fiancée Coleen McLoughlin and Kelly Brook.

The findings were part of a kissing survey commissioned for toothpaste maker Colgate to mark its Oral Health Month.

The poll found that 40% of Britons cited a good pair of eyes as attracting them to a potential kissing partner.

Meanwhile 25% opted for those with a nice smile or teeth, ahead of a good dress sense (10%) and nice hair (5%).

YouGov polled 2,320 adults in the UK online between August 22 and 24.

The top five female celebrities people in the UK would most like to kiss were: Jessica Alba, Angelina Jolie, Eva Longoria, Kelly Brook and Coleen McLoughlin.

The top five men were: Robbie Williams, Brad Pitt, Frank Lampard, Daniel Craig and Prince Harry.

Shakira and Robbie to hook up

Robbie Williams could be set to record a duet with Shakira, if his former songwriting partner gets his way.

Guy Chambers masterminded several of Robbie's biggest hits, including Angles and Rock DJ, but the pair parted ways after a clash over the singer's multi-million pound recording deal with EMI.

However, Guy insists he is now ready to call a truce on the pair's feud and pen another hit for Robbie if he agrees to collaborate with Shakira.

Guy is convinced a duet between the pair could be the thing that launches Robbie's career in the US, where the Latin beauty is a huge star.

He told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "He should have always done that. It would be the perfect match and I would like to write the tune for it. It would be a worldwide hit and would break Robbie in America."

Guy has also revealed that one of the main reasons the pair disbanded their hugely successful partnership was because Robbie wanted to move to Los Angeles.

He added: "One of the main reasons our partnership ended was because he moved to Los Angeles.

"If I'd also moved out there we may have continued working together. But that idea wasn't really going to be possible."

Australia, this is your last chance to see Robbie

It had looked as though just less than half a million eager Australians would get to see Robbie perform live in Australia this year, but promoter Chugg Entertainment announced today that more seats to this sold out concerts would be released to the general public.

If you missed the chance to buy one of the 450,000 odd tickets that were released for Australian shows in June this year all is not lost!

New tickets for the Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide shows will go on sale on Wednesday 4th of October, followed by the Melbourne and Perth shows on sale on Thursday 5th October.

Michael Chugg and his production team recently flew to Cologne, Germany to watch Robbie's Close Encounters show live. When the Australian production experts met with Robbie's team and reviewed the layout and sight lines of the Australian Stadiums, they confirmed that they could offer more tickets to die hard Robbie Williams fans. These will be tickets available to either side of the stage and in other areas of the venue.

U2, Abba, Madonna, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones all come to mind when we think of huge names in music with massive sell out concerts but none have had a tour this successful.

The Robbie Williams Close Encounters Tour is a phenomenon taking the world by storm and in November, it will reach Australia's shores playing to 9 stadiums across every major city with between 50,000 and 60,000 people at every show.

Australians bought up every ticket within hours of them being offered and more than 6 months before the concert was scheduled to play. There is no doubt in the mind of promoter Michael Chugg that this is the biggest show Australia has ever seen.

Logistical statistics back up this claim again. 3 years of planning, 360 tonnes of equipment, more than 200 crew and a fleet of trucks and buses taking almost a week to construct the stage with 2 giant scorpion tails measuring 66 meters by 26 meters, 8 giant tusks made from 6,800 LED blocks and 125 meters of video wall.

The show, described as "an unearthly fusion of the supernatural with enough modern technology to power an early lunar landing" is guaranteed to leave you satisfied.

Once this final release of tickets has been sold out there will be no more tickets released and no new shows scheduled. Australia, this is your last chance to see Robbie Williams live in concert don't miss out!

Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide on sale 9am, Wednesday 4th October: Tickets through Ticketek or 132 849.

Melbourne and Perth on sale 9am, Thursday 5th October: Tickets through Ticketmaster or 136 100.

Williams Slates Old Manager On Stage

British pop star Robbie Williams has stepped up his war with former manager Nigel Martin-Smith by slamming him from the stage during a concert.

The singer is currently involved in a feud with his ex Take That boss over a song on his new album, which lawyers believe could be libellous.
In outspoken track THE 90s, Williams reveals he fantasised about hurting the pop mogul during his time with the chart-topping boy band.
Martin-Smith has demanded the song be removed from William's new album Rudebox.

But defiant Williams sang the words in front of 65,000 fans at the Milton Keynes Bowl in England on Thursday.
