Posted by Vanessa Baker on August 8th, 2009

michael-jackson-thrillerMadonna, Mariah Carey, Beyonce and Robbie Williams are just a few of the superstars planning to record numbers for an upcoming Michael Jackson tribute album, reports the Daily Star. Whitney Houston, Usher and 12-year-old Shaheen Jafargholi of Britain’s Got Talent will also reportedly be featured alongside legends like Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross and Lionel Richie.

“The idea came from the memorial concert,” said a source. “Many fans asked if cover versions would be released and it seemed a wonderful idea. Some of the biggest stars in the world have indicated they’d like to take part to pay their own respects and tribute to the King of Pop. This cover album is sure to be a massive worldwide hit with fans and could raise a fortune for Michael’s favourite charities.”

Jafargholi, who performed “Who’s Loving You” at the memorial held for Jackson in Los Angeles, will record that track, as well as the song “Ben.” Carey will be singing “I’ll Be There,” while Williams will perform “Man in the Mirror.”

Robbie Williams Investigates Aliens In Documentary

Posted by Eva Lam on April 12th, 2008

Singer Robbie Williams will co-present a BBC Radio 4 documentary about aliens.

The pop musician teamed up with documentary maker Jon Ronson earlier this year to record the 30-minute show in Los Angeles, where Williams now lives, and at a three-day UFO conference in Laughlin, Nevada.

According to British newspaper The Guardian, Radio 4 listeners will hear how the pair met a doctor who claims to have 15 extra-terrestrial metallic objects and a British woman who believes her son was abducted by aliens while in the womb and then sent back to save the planet.

Williams reportedly approached the radio station with the idea due to his interest in the subject of extra-terrestrial life.

Readers can get a preview of the documentary when Ronson writes about his adventures with Williams in next week’s Guardian Weekend magazine.

“Robbie Williams And Jon Ronson Journey To The Other Side” will air on BBC Radio 4 on May 6 at 6:30 p.m. (BST).

Williams Will Join Take That, Says Mother

Posted by andPOP Staff on April 11th, 2007

British pop star ROBBIE WILLIAMS will reunite with his former group TAKE THAT, according to his mother JAN.

Williams has not performed or recorded with the BACK FOR GOOD stars since his explosive exit in 1995.

Take That reformed last year after a 10 year hiatus and regularly invited Williams to join their European reunion tour.

Last month, band member JASON ORANGE said, “I think if we do future albums it’s inevitable Rob will sing with us.”

Williams’ mum Jan responds, “He’s thrilled at how Take That have come back.

“On the question of him doing something with them, I feel that will happen.

“It would be something he wanted to do. I’m thrilled out of all the negative stuff that happened in the past there’s now something great happening.”

Robbie Celebrates End Of Rehab

Posted by andPOP Staff on March 8th, 2007

British pop hunk ROBBIE WILLIAMS celebrated his release from rehab by shopping and partying in Los Angeles.

The former TAKE THAT singer, 33, checked out of the The Meadows rehabilitation centre in Arizona on Tuesday following a 21-day treatment for addiction to prescription pills.

Williams will continue to seek day treatment in Los Angeles, where he is staying with his mother JAN.

Following his release, Williams went shopping at department store Barneys in Beverly Hills, California before meeting some pals at Winston’s nightclub.

His sister SALLY says, “He felt uncomfortable staying in there (rehab) so he had to come out and is going to use another facility. There is a process that they go through and he hasn’t completed all of the steps that they like you to do, so he is going to finish the work elsewhere.

“I think he is a lot better than he was but obviously he has not completed his course so he needs to continue. He is very serious about it.”

The FEEL singer has been admitted to a rehab clinic in the US, according to his spokeswoman BRYONY WATTS.

Take That Hold Out For Robbie Reunion

Posted by andPOP Staff on February 7th, 2007

Reformed British boy band TAKE THAT haven’t given up hope on ex-member ROBBIE WILLIAMS joining them on a forthcoming tour.

The PATIENCE hitmakers, who have enjoyed phenomenal success in their native country since reforming early last year, haven’t performed with Williams since he quit the band in 1995 – and was nowhere to be seen at their concerts last year.

But the band haven’t given up on the ANGELS singer just yet.

Singer MARK OWEN says, “We hoped he’d come and do one night with us.

“Rob said he’d have done it if he wasn’t touring and making a record himself (RUDEBOX). The timing just never worked out. We all still think that maybe one day it’ll happen.

“For us anyway, that’d be the icing of the cake.”

Robbie Williams is U.K.?s Biggest-Seller of the Century so far

Posted by Eva Lam on November 6th, 2005

Robbie Williams has claimed the title of the biggest-selling artist in the U.K. so far this century, with 6.3 million albums sold since 2000, reports BBC News.

Williams, who won for best male performer at the MTV Europe Music Awards last week, is currently at the top of the British album charts with his sixth studio solo album, ?Intensive Care.?

Coldplay came in a close second with sales of 6.2 million for their three albums, all released since the beginning of the millennium.

The list was compiled by the Official UK Charts Company for the television program ?The Biggest Selling Artists of the 21st Century,? which was broadcast Sunday on Britain?s Channel 4.

Singer-songwriter Dido was in third place, having sold 5.7 million copies of her two albums in the last five years, followed by rapper Eminem with 4.7 million albums and Westlife with 4.2 million.

The Top Ten was completed by Norah Jones, Blue, Anastacia, Stereophonics and Oasis.

Those who narrowly missed out on top-ten ranking included Kylie Minogue, Craig David and Will Young.

The figures, taken on Oct. 11 this year, were based on sales of albums released since January 2000. They excluded greatest-hits compilations, live albums and downloads.
