Robbie to play pantomime dame? - Sept 25 2007
Robbie Williams is apparently getting ready to don a dress for Christmas - to star in panto.

The pop singer will fly back to the UK to play a pantomime dame in his pal Jonathan Wilkes' production of Cinderella at the Regent Theatre in his home town of Stoke-On-Trent, reports the Daily Star.

The 33-year-old has already camped it up as a "laydee" in a Comic Relief sketch for Little Britain - and was apparently keen to hang onto the dress after filming.

It seems Jonathan, 29, is also hoping to rope in his pals Ant and Dec.

He reportedly said: "Robbie is not busy at the moment, so you never know - he might come along this year. We might get a couple of Geordies along too."

A source added: "Robbie is really keen to do the panto and thinks it will be great fun.

"He really enjoyed dressing up for the Little Britain sketch, so he should have great fun as a panto dame.

"The part will be specially written for Robbie. He is too good-looking to play an Ugly Sister!"
 

Robbie spotted with new love? - Aug 22 2007
Robbie Williams has reportedly been snapped going for an exercise session with his rumoured new love, Clare Staples.

The singer is thought to have been dating the 6ft blonde former model for six months but the couple have been trying to keep the relationship under wraps, reports the Daily Mirror.

Pals say the 33-year-old is a changed man and is really happy with the new girl in his life.

A source said: "They can’t get enough of each other."

Clare - who is six years older than the singer - was previously engaged to Paul McKenna. The couple split in 1995 after five years together, blaming the pressures of work. She has also dated footballer Sol Campbell and has been linked to actor Dougray Scott.

Robbie has previously been linked to a string of celebs including Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, Geri Halliwell, All Saints singer Nicole Appleton and model Rachel Hunter.

Robbie finds religion? - July 6 2007
He’s made millions singing Angels and now it seems Robbie Williams has turned to God to help him resurrect his career.

The troubled singer, whose seventh album Rudebox was panned last year, has posted a video of himself professing his love for Jesus, in a darkened room in the middle of the night, reports the Daily Mirror.

Puffing on a cigarette, a dishevelled-looking Rob, explains how he wrote the song Bodies with a friend before singing: "God came in the sunshine, he showed me a lifeline. What a day, Jesus really died for me. Yeah, Jesus really tried for me."

But as the song continues, the singer, who was recently in rehab battling an addiction to painkillers, gets more morose, singing: "Rejection... from my reflection, I want perfection."

The video is the latest in a string of increasingly odd behaviour from the Los Angeles-based 33-year-old.

In May he apparently posted a blog about his thoughts on visiting the grave of Dean Martin and earlier this year, he turned a few heads when dressed up in drag for the video of She’s Madonna.

This is the first time Robbie has publicly spoken about his faith, although he is known to have some Christian-based tattoos.

Perhaps he’s following in Paris Hilton’s footsteps, who vowed to keep the faith in jail, in a bid to win ever-elusive fans Stateside.
