It’s clearly a slow news day in Celeb-land, as The Sun and The Mirror both regurgitate Robbie Williams quotes from his visit to We Will Rock You the other night.
The Mirror reckon Robbie said he was definitely going to rejoin Take That (a dull rumour that’s been doing the rounds every month since 2005). However, while The Sun’s report agrees with this, it also says that he was dashing back to the studio to record with Mark Ronson.
Now, let’s imagine that you’ve been asked the same question for four years: “Any chance of you rejoining Take That, Rob?” Why not just nod your head and go along with it? “Yeah, yeah. Even though I’m clearly recording a solo album, I’d love nothing more than to hook up with Take That again.”
Take That’s latest single Up All Night makes the always ill-advised move of giving Mark Owen lead vocal duties. Nothing against Marky, but it’s immediately obvious that Up All Night is this album’s Shine.
Therefore, I hate it.
Before all you housewives start shouting at your computer screens, hold on a minute. I’m generally a supporter of the Take That reunion. I’ve been to see them live twice. It’s great to hear all the old tunes again.
Take That admitted to GMTV this morning they’d ‘like’ Robbie Williams to rejoin the band.
Asked by Kate Garraway whether there’s any chance of Robbie working with the boys again, Howard Donald said: “You never know, I think we’d like to but at the moment we’ve got a tour next year – and at the moment he’s not a part of them plans, but you just never know when he’s going to pop out of that box.”
I’ll bet Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow are regretting ever meeting up at a football game a few weeks ago.
The tabloids are going to town on this story, today speculating that because Robbie has recently bought a mansion in the country, he’ll be needing some cash to pay the mortgage.
I mean, they’re even interpreting a comment like:
I’d like to think we’d be the only band in the history of music to get together because of artistic differences.
as a positive signal that he’s considering re-joining the band.
Take That have smashed yet another record proving that things just aren’t slowing down for the UK’s sexiest man band.
The band’s new album The Circus has become the most pre-ordered album of all time. The boys are currently thrashing Britney Spears new album called just Circus, five to one.
Coldplay front man, Chris Martin has revealed that the band would love to play a big stadium show next summer and would be happy to open one of Take That’s shows on their Circus tour.
Posting on the band’s website, Chris wrote: “I would open for Take That. We were in the dressing room the other day and, for whatever reason, we started singing ‘Back For Good’.
“We sang the whole thing, word for word, with all the right chords on our piano, without having to learn it or anything. It was great.
Monday 24th November will see a battle of boy versus men as the prince of breakdance, George Sampson, takes on the kings of pop, Take That, in a modern day David and Goliath fight.
George Sampson will release his hugely anticipated double A side debut single ‘Get Up On The Dance Floor’ and ‘Headz Up’ in a highly contested fight for top spot which will see him battling it out with McFly’s ‘Do Ya’, Same Difference’s ‘We R One’ and Take That’s epic ‘ Greatest Day.’
