Robbie’s best song - Feb 05
Robbie Williams is ’astonished’ by Brit award. As Angels was announced as the best song of the last 25 years - as voted for by the public - Robbie told public that he is amazed that his career keeps going. The singer also had a surprise when Chris Evans told him that ex Take That members Gary Barlow and Howard Donald would be presenting the award. The look of worry on his face said it all, as did the visible relief when Matt Lucas and David Walliams appeared on stage dressed as the duo to hand over the gong to Robbie.

Robbie’s new year nudity - Jan 05
Robbie has made a new year’s resolution that’ll keep the girls happy. "I’m probably going to be one of those very embarrassing fathers who’s a naturist when I’m older. I guess when it comes down to it, I just like taking my pants down." Robbie Williams explained at the start of this year, prompting thousands of fans to take up ’bird watching’ in a bid to catch a glimpse of the pop star’s privates. He went on to say that he found nudity very liberating and thought that he would start taking naturism seriously in future.

Rob’s spicy scandal - Nov 04
Which Spice Girl hasn’t Robbie slept with? According to press Robbie Williams has claimed that his bedpost is "one notch short of the full Spice Girls set", having slept with all but one of the 90’s girl band - but which was the one that got away? Well, we all know that the Robster bedded Geri and Mel C back in the nineties so was it Emma Bunton, Mel B or Victoria that escaped his evil clutches? Rumour has it that despite her sugar and spice image Emma was quite a party girl in her day so it seems likely that she would have got it on with the star while Mel B is so ballsy he would never have escaped her. So, as much as we feel slightly disappointed we’d have to wager that Mrs Beckham, surgically attached to David as she has been for years, probably missed out on a little Robbie loving.

Robbie’s new love - August 04

Robbie Williams is dating Nip/Tuck actress Valerie Cruz.

Robbie has reportedly been on several dates with the actress, who plays Grace Santiago in hit US drama Nip/Tuck. According to friends the couple are enjoying their time together but taking things slowly. Maybe she’s the one? Robbie’s greatest - August 04

Come on Robbie, you’ve not even been doing anything for the last three years!

Biography

Robbie Peter Williams was born on February 13th 1974 and spent his childhood years living in Stoke-on-Trent with his mum and older sister Sally. He was always the class joker at St Margaret Ward High School in Stoke and had a particular gift for singing and acting. He joined a local theatre group as a youngster and was often seen starring in various musicals and plays - his biggest part was playing ’Dodger’ in Oliver.

Robbie joined Take That when he was only 16, he had only one job previous to that, as a double glazing salesman, but apparently he wasn’t very good - he would tell customers not to buy them because they were so bad! For five years, Robbie became the joker of the band, always smiling and playing gags on people as Take That rose to record-breaking stardom. However, in July 1995 Robbie announced he was to leave the band to concentrate on a solo career...a nation of teenage girls mourned.

After a stint eating pies, doing drugs and being friends with the Gallaghers, Robbie signed to Chrysalis Records. His first ever solo single on this label would be a cover of George Michael’s Freedom . It was released on July 29th 1996 exactly one year after his departure from Take That. It reached No 2 in the UK charts. Life began to get a bit rough for Robbie during the following months, he met Jacquie Hamilton-Smith at a New Years Eve Party of 1996, moved in with her the next day and partied (in more ways that one) for exactly one year before coming to his senses. In the middle of all this he released his second single Old Before I Die on April 14th 1997 which also reached No 2 in the charts.

At the beginning of June 1997 after many bad reports in the media, Robbie checked himself into a rehab centre to receive treatment for his addiction to alcohol and drugs. After 4 weeks at the centre Rob emerged 2 stones lighter, sporting a new haircut, and hopefully feeling much better. The release of Lazy Days followed soon after on July 14th, and made it’s first appearance in the UK charts at No 8, to be followed shortly by South Of The Border.

December 1997 was the real beginning for Robbie, he released ’Angels’ as his Christmas single, never knowing quite what an impact it would have on the market. Into the new year of 1998 it was still in the charts and ’Life Thru A Lens’ shot back into the album charts and has been there ever since. Robbie truly had arrived, signing up thousands of new fans daily. Millennium and accompanying album I’ve Been Expecting You followed up on this success, making Robbie the biggest selling artist of 1998.

He began trying to win over the US in 1999 touring The Ego Has Landed. His success continued in 2000 with the release of immediate hit, Rock DJ. Sing When You’re Winning, was as popular as his accompanying collection of lounge covers, Swing When You’re winning. In 2002, Robbie signed a record breaking contract with EMI for £50m, securing his place in pop history. Escapology duly topped the charts in the UK while Robbie spent time in LA being papped with new girlfriend Rachel Hunter.

The biggest outdoor concert ever was hosted by Robbie in 2003 at Knebworth Park attracting 375,000 fans over three days. He followed up this success with two album releases, a Greatest Hits and 2005’s Intensive Care which accompanied his appearance on stage at Live8.  Around this time speculation was rife that Robbie was ready to patch things up with his former bandmates and take part in a Take That reunion tour.  However Robbie disappointed fans and friends by failing to turn up at an ITV organised reunion and merely recording a video part for the tour which Gary and co embarked on a UK tour without him.

But Robbie wasn’t resting on his laurels.  While Take That returned to the studio Robbie did the same, releasing his tenth album, Rudebox in 2006 which brought more controversy to the singer when he failed to credit a supposed co-writer. 

It never seems to stop for Robbie.
