PopSugarUK — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 03:30:51 -0800

As expected, Robbie Williams joined his old Take That band mates on stage at the Royal Albert Hall last night as part of the Children In Need concert. It was the first time in 15 years Robbie had performed alongside Howard, Mark, Gary and Jason, and he was understandably emotional and was in tears. Although Robbie and Take That didn't perform a song as a five-piece, they did sing together in the show's finale performance of "Hey Jude" alongside Paul McCartney and the other acts who performed on the night, like Leona Lewis. Cheryl Cole performed with Snow Patrol, Lily Allen joined Take That for "Shine", and Shirley Bassey and Dizzee Rascal sang together. Check out video of Robbie's TT reunion after the jump!

Robbie Williams Talks Take That and Drug Trauma in GQ

PopSugarUK — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 00:34:58 -0700

Robbie Williams is on the cover of November's GQ magazine as well as starring in a nine page feature. He gives a candid interview about his new love Ayda Field, the new Trevor Horn-produced album Reality Killed The Video Star, his most recent trip to rehab, his restored relationship with the Take That boys and what he did with his three years off! Here's a few extracts from Robbie's interview:

On his prescription drug addiction: "If I hadn't gone into rehab I would have died. The left arm was going numb, chest was contracting. That's the sign isn't it, that you're on your way out?"
About meeting with Take That had in 2008: "We all had a massive chat, one of those chats that other bands who split up can't seem to have. It was really healing, if that doesn't sound too nancy. And at the end of it everything had gone and we were in the kitchen and I had my arm round Gary. I just loved him. I think he felt the same way. It was really beautiful... You know what? It was a real laugh, seeing them. They're really really lovely. There's that special something that could only be felt by the five of us. It was bizarre, beautiful, euphoric."

To read his thoughts on rejoining the band and how he felt about their success when he was away from the spotlight, just read more.

On how he felt about the success of Take That: "How did I feel about it? I don't really know to be honest. I like the albums that they put out...I don't feel bitter or jealous... the reason I was so angry was because regardless of what I felt at the end I loved them and I didn't think I was loved back."
Will he ever rejoin the band? "It will happen. But not in the next 18 months, two years. There's contracts to fulfil. And then I can do what I want... then go 'Can I go and play with my mates now?'"

Robbie Williams Reunites With Take That in NYC!

PopSugarUK — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 07:05:44 -0700

Here are the first photos of Robbie Williams in New York leaving a studio with his old Take That bandmates Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange! Mark Owen was also there, as the band celebrated Mark's stag do in Soho House in the city at the weekend, and then moved on to the studio to get some work done. There are rumours that the boys are working on new tracks together at the Electric Lady studios in NYC, but Take That are mainly there to put the finishing touches onto their live double album, so they may have just been letting Robbie and his girlfriend Ayda Field listen to the tracks. Either way it's great to see them all getting on so well, and certainly seems like a reunion onstage is getting much more likely!

David's Got An All Star Audience As He Plays Against AC Milan

PopSugarUK — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 04:56:47 -0700

LA Galaxy played AC Milan in a friendly yesterday, which meant that David Beckham came face to face with his old team mates! It was Galaxy's first home game of the season, and David got some bad reactions from the crowd in Los Angeles, with boos filling the stadium and some signs displayed, showing that fans still feel he abandoned their team when he extended his loan period playing for Milan, and missed the first half of the Major League Soccer season. David had some great support in the crowd too though, not least from his wife Victoria, their children, Tom Cruise and also Gary Barlow, who is in California on holiday!

David was escorted from the pitch by security at one point after going over to confront some jeering fans, but he also spoke about the mixed reaction, saying:

"The majority of fans have been great. It was only one or two that, you know, it was to be expected. Sometimes it goes beyond it. I tried to shake one of the guy's hands but he didn't want any of it. That's the way it is."

It's certainly not the first time David's had bad reactions from fans of his team as he plays football, but I'm sure that he'll have soon forgotten about it as he hung out with his friends and family after the game, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
