Robbie Williams set to top the charts with new album


Look probably Robbie Williams to crown his comeback with a number one album as Reality Killed The Video is on course to top the charts.
The album is outselling all comers according to midweek chart positions, having sold more than 85,000 copies during its first day.

If it stays the course until the weekend it will mean each of Williams's eight studio albums has been to number one and would be his ninth chart topper in total.
The album has already topped the iTunes chart in 16 countries across Europe.
Reality ... is the singer's first new album for three years and follows the poorly received Rudebox. He releases a new single You Know Me on December 7.

Robbie Willams working with Take Thatand he's talks babies and confirms


Robbie Williams' life looks like is moving into exciting places – with babies on the cards and that much longed for Take That reunion closer than ever. The 35 year old singer told Jonathan Ross he's blissfully glad with his half American, half Turkish girlfriend Ayda Field, and the group could be ready to start a family in the next few years. "She's actually broody, and I'm getting there," said Robbie, in scenes to be shown on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, this week on BBC One. He added: "I thought I was going to be a bachelor, then I was introduced to Ayda and things just changed. She's a wonderful person and I'm in love." Robbie also showed off his Take That tattoo as he revealed he's working with his former bandmates again. When asked if he would be performing and recording with his former group, he replied: "We've got together, done bits and bobs. I can't say much, but yes, I hope so." The singer also addressed concerns over his wide eyed appearance on X Factor, when he performed his new single Bodies. "The doors got stuck, I thought what are the words... I get incredibly nervous... it wasn't drugs or drink, just deer in the headlights." I've always been very nervous... You don’t know what's going on in my head. It's traumatic, actually scary."

Robbie Williams: Hits Back Over MTV No Show


ROBBIE WILLIAMS and MTV bosses are locked in a war of words over the star's no show at the forthcoming European Music Awards.
The singer former Take That was due to perform at the ceremony in Berlin, Germany on 5 November (09), following his current comeback, but pulled out of the event, citing "scheduling conflicts". MTV insiders claim Williams was not due to perform anywhere else and the cancellation came amid health and safety fears over his extravagant stage set.But the Angels star has hit back, insisting his show was "compromised" by budget cuts at the music network. An MTV source tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "Every star is treated the same and has to work to the same parameters. Robbie is no different. But his reps, for some reason, said nearly everything wasn't up to scratch. His no show is costing us a lot of money. We tried to be accommodating, but they walked away with a week to go. It's caused mayhem."But a spokesperson for Williams says, "The truth is MTV and the European Music Awards are victims of big budget cuts and Robbie's performance was being compromised so it was decided he wouldn't play. He actually wanted to. It is a real shame MTV could not make this happen. He performed a free concert in Berlin last week to 15,000 people. And rumour has it Eminem has pulled out of the Awards for the same reason."
