Robbie Williams is getting ready to walk down the aisle! After popping the question last month, the pop singer will be getting married to his girlfriend of three years, Ayda Field, on Valentine’s Day in Santa Barbara, California. Sources are saying that Robbie will be flying the couple’s loved ones out for the ceremony considering that most of them live in the UK. A friend of the couple said “Robbie doesn’t want to have a long, drawn-out engagement. When he gets something in his head, there’s no stopping him.” And for those wondering if his former boy band Take That will be attending, the source said “He has asked best friend Jonathan Wilkes to be best man and it’s likely Take That will perform.”

Robbie Williams proposed to his long time girlfriend Ayda Field on ‘The Kyle and Jackie O Show’ last week. The singer said “I love you so much. Would you be my betrothed ’til the end of time?” Don’t get too excited over the very public proposal though. Robbie’s spokesman confirmed that the couple is definitely not engaged, saying “He did propose but it was done in a very jocular way. Typical Robbie Williams.” However, that’s not what his mom seems to thing. Jan, Robbie’s mom, said “He wanted to do something different. She’s a lovely girl and I’m really pleased for them. I’ve got a daughter-in-law.” So is there or isn’t there going to be a wedding soon?

Move over Michael Jackson because Robbie Williams is back with a vengeance! After a very shaky start for his comeback, the former Take That singer reigns supreme once again. Robbie has taken the King of Pop’s crown as king of the current European charts. Robbie’s ‘Reality Killed the Video Star’ has reached number one in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Holland. Even though the song didn’t reach the top of the mountain in his native Britain, I’m pretty sure there are more hits in his future. Unless he decides to go back on tour, gets fat, goes to rehab and knocks another screw loose.

While being questioned by reporters, Robbie Williams made a lame attempt at trying to keep a big secret under wraps. Unfortunately for the singer, he absolutely sucked. According to him, he has gone back into the studio and back to his former boy band roots with Take That. Robbie says that the new tracks are absolutely amazing and that he’s very excited about the new project. Considering that he’s been flaky when it comes to his own career, going back to the band that he once left could probably be the only way to salvage his music career. Sucks for him.

Singer Robbie Williams is already planning the follow-up to his new album.

Despite Reality Killed The Video Star not even being released yet, the Angels singer says he is going to assume a different personality for each album.

He told Capital Radio: “I don’t like the name Robbie Bert Williams for the next album. Come on!”

The 35-year-old’s new single, Bodies, is released on October 12.

Robbie Williams is working hard on his epic comeback and the singer has recently agreed to be on the British hit talent show X Factor. The most obvious reason for his appearance will be a performance of a new song off of his upcoming album which is due out in a few months. However, everyone is still staying pretty quiet as to what exactly Robbie will do on the show and when. Either way, it will be a huge amount of exposure for the guy who’s been bumming around for a couple of years in his lame attempt to break into the US music scene.

Robbie Williams has been offered $3 million to play a half-hour concert – but is planning to turn it down. The ‘Angels’ singer has been offered $1 million a minute to headline a music festival in Norway – but he is unsure whether to accept as he has vowed to give up touring.
A friend of the star said: “It would probably be the easiest money he’ll make in his life but it’s touch and go whether he’ll say yes. We’ll have to wait and see.”

The 34-year-old recently posted a message on his personal blog saying he has no wish to return to live shows because his last tour ‘nearly killed’ him. He wrote: “The more time I’m spending away from public life, the more I like it.”

Despite the poor reception to his last album, 2006’s ‘Rudebox’ and his threats to withhold his next album due to a dispute with his record company EMI, Robbie did confirm he will be releasing new material.

He added: “There definitely won’t be a tour anytime soon. I might put the B-sides to the next album out first online. Then put an album out in 2009 which means you won’t be seeing a lot of me on stage.”

When most people have a bad day at work they treat themselves to a pint and fish and chips. Or the local equivalent anyway…

But millionairess Kylie Minogue plans to get over the disappointment of her failed bid to crack the US again by buying up a $6million country retreat.

She has expressed an interest in a riverside Tudor home in Sussex.

She looked at the country mansion last week after returning from the States – where she failed to break into the Top 100 with her album X, despite a huge publicity drive.

Her pal Robbie Williams had a house nearby and recommended the area. I’ve seen the pad and it certainly is a palace fit for a pop princess. It even includes a chapel, just in case the singer’s life wasn’t already wholesome enough.

The star is desperate to settle down as she approaches her 40th birthday next month.

In November, Kylie revealed: “I’m looking for a property in the country. I need to do things to make me feel whole.”

Robbie Williams is having a rare old time on strike from the gruelling slog of being a pop star. The beardy pop nob, in a teenage-style huff with his record label, has been filling his time with private cooking lessons.

A pal said: “He has an urge to host his own cookery show and bring out a book with it. The problem is, Robbie isn’t exactly the healthiest eater on the planet. Who needs lessons in how to cook burgers and chips?

“That’s about all he’s interested in.”

Nice. Get back to what you are good at Rob…
