MICHELLE GAYLE TELLS ALL IN NEW BOOK


“I’ve seen artists protest because a Ford Galaxy has been sent to pick them up and they expect a Mercedes, refuse to fly unless it’s first class, check out of hotels because they don’t like the carpet, insist everyone calls them ‘Miss’ etc. If that’s their reality, they’re in trouble.”She adds: “There’s a whole side to how the industry works that I don’t think people understand. That’s why they get confused when they see Robbie Williams so unhappy or Britney Spears going nuts. I know exactly why it happens and how easily it happens.”Surely you’re not really comparing your own comparatively modest career to theirs, Michelle?

Okay not new...but who is that???

British pop star ROBBIE WILLIAMS is nursing a broken heart after his actress girlfriend NATASSIA SCARLET MALTHE reportedly dumped him earlier this month (Mar08). The couple has been dating since last year (07) but Norwegian beauty Malthe has allegedly put an end to the relationship because of her hectic work schedule. A close pal of Malthe tells British newspaper News of the World, "Robbie and Natassia had a frenzied romance and really loved each other. "But the relationship was almost too intense. Robbie's hardly doing any work at the moment while Natassia is a star on the rise. She didn't have time for him."

Interview with jonathan wilkes! I have take the things with robbie here in the thread:

The likeable Mr Wilkes started off his career being better known as the best pal and flat-mate of singer Robbie Williams but he's gone on to prove that he's no hanger-on.
Jon got married in Los Angeles in 2004 in front of his celebrity pals. So did he have a wedding singer at his do?
"No. My best man was Robbie but I wasn't having him sing at my wedding! I wanted a nice day!!
"But we came down the aisle to Luther Van Dross Here And Now. I was there waiting and Nicky was coming down with her dad.
Jon and Robbie are planning another round of Soccer Aid in June and perhaps after this I'd like to do a play or do a bit of drama but I do love the musicals. Every time I think I should go away it keeps bringing me back!

Robbie and the aliens...

WHATEVER happened to Robbie Williams?


Robbie Williams has turned his back on pop

His former Take That comrades have been enjoying a hugely successful comeback album and tour and the band is set for further exposure with a forthcoming West End musical based on their hits.
But these days we hear little of the cheeky rebel who split from the group to launch the biggest-selling solo career that Britain has ever seen.
Under his mammoth £80million deal with EMI, Williams was meant to be releasing a new album this autumn. But that has been postponed and one recent rumour – eventually denied by his management – was that he was on strike.
Otherwise, Robbie has vanished. He might as well have been abducted by aliens.
Actually, that’s not so far from the truth – or at any rate, aliens are part of the story. It emerged this weekend that the 34-year-old singer has developed an obsession with spacecraft from other worlds visiting our skies. Having turned his back on stage shows, he has holed himself up in his Los Angeles mansion to indulge a fixation with UFOs.
This revelation comes courtesy of journalist and broadcaster Jon Ronson who specialises in winning the trust of people with extreme or bizarre beliefs. Having previously investigated the shadowy Bilderberg Group of world leaders and befriended oddballs and outcasts from David Icke to the Ku Klux Klan, he has now given us a glimpse into the weird world of Robbie Williams.
The star – who has battled drink, drugs, ballooning weight and depression and once admitted himself to rehab on his birthday because he was washing down prescription pills with 20 cans of Red Bull and 36 double espressos a day – first contacted Ronson three years ago. He wanted the journalist to organise an over night stay in a haunted house for him.
That never came off but the two stayed in touch and earlier this year Williams e-mailed out of the blue. He wanted Ronson to accompany him to a UFO conference in Laughlin, Nevada, to hear testimony about being abducted by aliens.
“At first I wonder if he’s gone a bit crazy but I don’t think he has,” says Ronson in a recording of their trip, to be aired on BBC Radio 4 next month. “He’s just doing what lots of people do, including me – spending a lot of time on paranormal websites.”
Scarcely recognisable behind a bushy beard that makes him look more like a lumberjack or a Montana survivalist than a sex symbol rock star, and admitting that his current fixation has made him question his own sanity, Williams nowadays spends hours every day reading internet sites on alien conspiracy theories and watching DVDs with such titles as UFO Space Anomalies and Secret Space: What Is Nasa Hiding?
Referring to predictions that the world is going to end in four years time as if they are a matter of common consent – “You know, with the run-up to 2012, everyone going mental about that, about Armageddon and all that business,” he says casually – he is immersed in paranormal folklore as part of a respite from his normal routine.
“I’ve been working since I was 16. I’ve put out 10 albums in 10 years and it takes its toll. I’m just having a break. I’m classic ‘don’t show me any debunking stuff’, because I want to believe.”
He says he thinks alien spacecraft are always in our skies and that we only see them when their protective shields fall off.
He and Ronson set out by private plane for Nevada, accompanied by Robbie’s girlfriend, actress Ayda Field, and a record producer friend called Brandon. At the conference, where he arrives incognito, Robbie quizzes a scientist who specialises in examining evidence of alien visits, asking: “Do you worry that the aliens might want their stuff back? Do you get scared they may want to come and get their transmitters back?”
He also befriends Ann Andrews from Lincolnshire, a speaker at the conference who has written a series of books about her son Jason, who believes he was contacted by aliens telling him he had been put on Earth to be a psychic sage.
When Brandon asks Andrews if she has undergone any psychiatric examination, Williams admits: “Question ing someone’s sanity when this is happening to them is perfectly acceptable. I question my own a lot.”
But he sees no reason to doubt the accounts. “With all of this stuff, whatever Ann Andrews has got to say, it’s kind of, ‘Well, if you’re saying it, I’ve no reason to not believe you up until there’s evidence I shouldn’t’. For me it’s, ‘Why would you lie?’”
Robbie also sympathises with her pred icament in deciding whether to believe her son’s stories. “It’s either believe everything the boy is saying or remain steadfast to earthly beliefs and have a black sheep in the family. For her own sanity she has had to believe it. It’s like your son turning around to you at 21 and going, ‘I’m a gay’. For me right now, everything that she has said is true,” he says.
When Robbie speaks to Andrews, he tells her that he sympathises with her son’s plight in being ostracised by his local community. The bonding experience leaves him with tears in his eyes.
“Tell him to drop me a line if he wants. It must have been a terrible time for you and an awful time for him. It’s just so sad to hear it happens. It’s happened to me. I think joining Take That was like leaving on a spaceship and coming back and all your friends going: ‘He’s weird now.’”
Williams comes away from the conference with 15 new UFO DVDs, having promised to consider a request to become its official celebrity spokes man. “I’m absolutely loving it, really loving it. Fabulous,” he tells the organisers.
Ever since his dramatic departure from Take That in 1995, the singer has always worn his personal problems on his sleeve. In interviews he has bared all about the frustrations of devoting his adolescence to the gruelling regime of Take That and the loneliness of stardom. He seems to personify the adage that fame and fortune do not necessarily bring happiness.
But it emerges that his current compulsion to read about UFOs derives from long before he was plucked from obscurity in Stoke-on-Trent for boyband superstardom.
“Mum was a tarot card reader,” he tells Ronson.
“In the shelf just Outside her room there would be the books about the world’s mysteries and elves, demons and witchcraft. She’d have people round to read the tarot cards and read their palms. We’d talk about spirits, we’d talk about ghosts, we’d talk about the other side.
"And I was that scared that I never talked to my mum about it and just lived in fear of all this kind of stuff. I want to find out why things that go bump in the night make me scared.”
His interest resumed when he gave up reading newspapers, because stories about himself upset him too much. He reveals that he once inv ited TV psychic Derek Acorah to his home for a reading but was disgusted when a story subsequently appeared under the headline I Helped Robbie Williams Talk To His Dead Gran. He has not spoken to Acorah since and says he is nervous about exploring his interest in unexplained phenomena.
“Every time I put my foot in the water as regards to this kind of stuff, or paranormal stuff, I meet charlatans. You come across people that make you go: ‘Oh no, you’re supposed to be the expert but you’re obviously mental. And none of it is true.’ I’ve been really disappointed,” he says, admitting that this has shaken his wider faith. “This might happen with UFOs, too, and then I might be able to get on with my life.”
Ronson has mixed feelings about the singer’s latest fixation. “When he used to look himself up, all the lies that were written about him would make him miserable so I think it’s healthy that he doesn’t look himself up any more,” he says.
“But the world he is now obsessed with has its many liars, too.”
However, he does find one positive aspect about Williams’s obsession. “I leave him standing on his balcony with Ayda and he does seem happy, gazing up at the sky, even if there’s nothing paranormal up there,” he said. In the tortured, discontented world of Robbie Williams, one should be thankful for small mercies.

Robert McNeil: Angels? No, he's loving aliens instead
ROBBIE Williams, the ululating popster, is turning his mind to good works. To wit, he's looking for signs of alien life.

Incredibly, I rather like Robbie Williams. Not the music. I know nothing about that (being a philistine, like). However, once, I watched a travel programme presented by a pleasant young lad. I said to the Burd: "What an amiable young fellow. He should go far." And the Burd said: "He already has. That's Robbie Williams, you berk."

Recently, Robbie attended a conference about folk abducted by aliens. You say: "I've been abducted by aliens loads of times. What's the big deal? They just poke you with probes, give you some Cup-a-Gloop, then return you to your house or garden." Excellent point. But it fails to mention that Robbie has also started talking about the world ending in 2012, which suits me, as I'll still have 18 years on my mortgage. Robbie says alien spacecraft are in the air all the time, and we only see them when their protective shields fall off, say when they're cleaning their windows or something.

However, there are signs Robbie is already getting fed up with unexplained phenomena. In a forthcoming Radio 4 programme, he says: "You come across people that make you go: 'Oh no, you're supposed to be the expert, but you're obviously mental'." This is a shame. But you find nutters in all walks of life. Leading politicians and businessmen feature heavily in the United Nations' secret Nutters Index, which remains unpublished to this day. Besides, the poor chap is as well looking to the skies for intelligent life because, as the Monty Python song has it, there's b***** all down here on Earth.

Wednesday, April 30, 2008: (London) :

British pop star Robbie Williams, who has put his showbiz life on hold, has gained a lot of weight.

Williams hasn't recorded any new material or toured in quite some time and has really put on some weight. Earlier in the year, he hinted that he would not put out any album this year and just might retire for good.

He said, "You won't be seeing a lot of me for a while. The more I'm away from public life, the more I like it."

According to a source, "Williams has made it clear he's put his showbiz life on hold. He doesn't need to remain trim for any professional reason, so he's let himself go. He's also really happy with Ayda Field and being content in that area can also lead to weight gain."

Williams has of late become obsessed with UFOs and believes they exist.
