Sheryl said to the Daily Express ’American men don’t want to see anything that’s burlesque or vaudevillian, they want to feel that their artist is brooding and macho."

She added ’Most of our male artists are so aggro they don’t even look like rock stars, they look like they’re all roadies.’

Is Robbie leaving The Hill? - 16/10/03
Robbie Williams has bought himself a new home next door to Sir Michael Caine, and could be leaving Notting Hill for new heights.

He has spent an eye opening ?2.5 million on an exclusive Chelsea Harbour home, right in the same complex of apartments as the award winning actor Sir Michael Caine. But what will Robbie do with his house in Notting Hill - he has only just finished spending ?1.5 million making that home perfect! Robbie added a state of the art recording studio, three guest bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as building an enormous living room and owning a well stocked library. But he has apparently said that he is sick of having no privacy. Well, it is true that every single person in Notting Hill must know where he lives.

The Chelsea Harbour pad has gorgeous views of the river, and will be somewhere he can chill out, without having gaggles of tourists giggling outside his house. But Robbie has no plans to sell his old home - he is thinking of renting it out to a very, and I mean VERY lucky and rich person!

Let Me Entertain You! - 02/10/03
The only way to get Robbie Williams to sing at your 18th birthday party would be to transform yourself into amazing footie star Wayne Rooney...

Robbie is the star guest at the Everton and England strikers 18th birthday bash later this month. The star has made no secret of the fact that he admires Wayne’s footballing skills - he even sang his praises on a local radio station in Liverpool by saying ’Wayne Rooney, you are a God!’

Since then Robbie and Wayne have become friends - well, you would wouldn’t you? Wayne even chartered a helicopter to see Robbie’s performance at Knebworth, and gave him an England number nine shirt!

The two get on so well that Robbie has offered to sing a few songs on the big day. Maybe he can adapt the title of one of his albums to ’ Sing When You’re Winning!’

I wanna be Mr Nobody! - 18/08/03
Spare a thought for Mr Williams; he doesn’t want to be famous anymore.

What do you do when you are a mega famous singer that can do no wrong? He has tried pulling faces, looking grumpy, dallied around with many Miss Wrongs, confessed to alcohol and drug addictions - and still we all love him. But boy oh boy is he getting fed up with his constant fame.

Robbie spoke to The Sun, and told them ’I can’t leave the house without being hassled, without people coming up to me bothering me all the time. I am seriously thinking about giving it all up, about not putting out any more records. I’m loaded, I can buy anything I want and everyone thinks I must have such a brilliant life but it’s actually horrible.’

See, even the revelation that he wants to be Mr Nobody makes me like him!
