The Sunday Mirror reports that gay comedian Matt Lucas just returned from a vacation in Los Angeles where he stayed at the home of Robbie Williams. A source said the pair “relaxed and chilled out. They are merely very good friends.”
The Sunday Mirror reports that Robbie Williams has split up with probation officer Lisa Brash after dating for a month.
“He really liked Lisa but it just wasn’t meant to be,” a source revealed. “Robbie can never seem to find the perfect woman and it’s heartbreaking because he really wants to fall in love and start a family.”
Lisa responded to the news claiming, “If I never hear from him again, I’ll still cherish the time we had. I had a wonderful time. He’s a wonderful guy.”
Pop star Robbie Williams’ male songwriter has accused the star of attempting a homosexual sex act on him.
Ray Heffernan, who co-wrote Robbie William’s hit Angels, was furious the singer branded him a “quasi-stalker” in his new autobiography Feel, so has hit back by claiming the hit-maker consumed vast amounts of cocaine and whiskey at a New Year’s Eve party in 1996 and then begged Ray to sleep with him.
Ray Heffernan reveals, “It was New Year’s Eve, after Robbie got up to sing at a Boyzone concert in Dublin. We were doing a bit of coke and stayed up late drinking whiskey then crashed in the same bed. At 6 am, I woke up and Robbie Williams was on top of me and he had his hands on me.”
“He tried a certain sex act on me. He was fully awake. I turned around and went, ‘Rob!’ and he goes ‘What?'”
“‘What the f**k are you doing?’ I said. He kind of rolled over in a huff. We got talking and Robbie explained he didn’t know about his sexuality. He told me that when Take That were 15 or 16, starting out, they were performing in gay clubs in London and that was a confusing environment for a teenager.”
Robbie Williams hopes to shed some weight by playing more golf.
“I used to play just twice a week but now I’m out there every day for up to six hours,” he said.
“It’s such great exercise and more fun than a gym. Sweating and panting sucks. Golf’s way better than any exercise or diet to be thin.”
Guy Chambers tells Radio 4 he and Robbie Williams fell out after the singer became obsessed with money.
“There were a few reasons we fell out. We had been together for six years, we even went on holiday together,” he explained. “I think we got sick of each other’s faces. But mainly he was about to sign this massive deal and the money had become so important to him. It definitely spoiled things.”
“The deal became ridiculously huge and it became more about that than the album we were making at that time. I loved working with Robbie because he was so talented. We are not friends now and our parting was very acrimonious.”
Robbie Williams’ former manager Kevin Kinsella is publishing a new unauthorized biography focusing on the singer and his near nervous breakdown as he struggled with fame and tried to decide if he was homosexual.
“His confusion with his sexuality was very upsetting for him. Robbie broke down many times and cried when he explained it to me,” Kevin revealed at a press conference.
“He felt his life was going down the drain. He was going through a very hard time, a breakdown. He just wanted to be able to talk to someone about it. He did have encounters with many men but always stopped short when going further.”
“Robbie was open with me about what he was feeling and I’m sure his mother knew. But I don’t think he’d discussed it with his father.”
Robbie Williams has his eyes set on playing the gay cowboy in a film about hit ’70s band, The Village People.
The singer has offered GBP700,000 for the movie rights, provided he gets artisitic control of the project, according to press details.
Reportedly, Robbie told a friend “The Village People were icons. They defined disco and their story is amazing. It will make a great movie”.
An film industry source said “Ever since Moulin Rouge, The Guru and Chicago, every studio in Hollywood wants to do a musical, so Robbie won’t have a hard time getting this movie financed.”
“Studio executives are sold on the idea of a Village People movie.”
Robster is hoping to play the cowboy role made famous by Randy Jones, who sang on the hits “In The Navy” and “YMCA”.
Robbie added “They may be gay and I have gay tendencies so the way I see it I think I’d do a good job of making this flick. They were great entertainers too and their story deserves to be told, so I’ll tell it.”

The bhangra-flavoured soundtrack to the latest Peugot 206 TV ad gets a full release either on the 28th of April or the week after that on Positiva. The release date was not confirmed at press time.
The track, called, ‘Husan’ was originally the work of Dutch producers, Husan, also known as Niels Zuiderhoek and Jeroen den Hengst, who were approached by Peugeot to create a tune blending an exotic bhangra style with a western funk-sound for their TV advertising campaign, subsequently voted the ‘best advert ever’ by Radio Four listeners.
UK duo Jules Spinner and Jack Berry took the original version, remixed it under the name Bhangra Knights, which has got many people sitting up and paying attention and enlisted a rapper named Raul to add verses to the instrumental.
Also, previously, a handful of test pressings were sent out which found favour with the likes of Bobby Friction and Radio One’s Nihal with Pete Tong, Graeme Park and Judge Jules following suit and the rest as they say is about to become history –
What’s interesting is that Robbie Williams is such a huge fan of Bhangra Knights and has gone on to say two days back “I heard on Radio One last night this awesome number by Bhangra Knights and I have to say it’s real funky and excellent! I love it! Hmm… maybe I should go all bhangra as well… just kidding of course! I’ll leave it all to the experts.”
The Robster is making one last final push to crack the States by re-releasing his latest album ‘Escapology’ with some new songs added. Robbie has recorded two new tracks, namely ‘Get A Little High’ and ‘One Fine Day’, written specifically to appeal to US audiences.
The revamped album is released in the US on the 1st of April and Robbie plans a blitz of radio and TV shows including Good Morning America and the David Letterman Show.
According to the Daily Star, Robbie is under pressure from his record company EMI to recoup his GBP80m advance and want him to emulate the success of Brit bands Coldplay and Radiohead in America.
