Take That podría actuar en Glasto

A pesar de que la banda negó en los estudios de Radio 1 que fueran a actuar en Glastonbury, esto es lo que publica hoy el periódico Daily Star:

Take That are in the final stages of negotiations to headline Glastonbury.

The fab five are thrashing out a deal with organiser Michael Eavis, 75, to perform on the festival’s main stage on the Saturday.

We can reveal that Gary Barlow, Robbie Williams, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald have deliberately left the weekend next June free, despite it being midway through their sellout tour.

The reunited Take That lads take their Progress Live tour to Hampden Park in Glasgow on Friday June 24 and then arrive at Villa Park, Birmingham, to perform on Monday June 27. It means they could play the Pyramid stage on the Saturday night and still have Sunday off.

Outspoken Robbie, 36, had initially put the brakes on any plans for the band to perform when he slagged off festival-goers as “dickheads”.

But his bandmates, especially Mark, 38, and Jason, 40, have said they would be thrilled to take part.

A festival insider said: “They haven’t put pen to paper yet but it’s very close. Take That at Glastonbury would be amazing.”

Más rumores sobre la próxima gira

TAKE THAT are planning a reunion tour of epic proportions. Comeback kid ROBBIE WILLIAMS has already let slip the group will embark on a series of gigs next year.

But now promoters SJM are masterminding a whopping 58 stadium dates. The lads will break the news at The Savoy in London on Tuesday.

More than two million fans are expected to pass through the gates at venues across the UK.
A source said: "The band realise demand is high and are acting accordingly. It's unclear whether they will announce all 58 dates at once."

GARY BARLOW, HOWARD DONALD, JASON ORANGE, MARK OWEN and Robbie are trying to conjure up a theme for the tour. They'll need to go some way to top last year's Circus extravaganza.

We hear the band could team up with Kylie for a gig at the Hollywood Bowl next year. An insider said: "The guys really want to pull out all the stops for this. Robbie and Kylie are close and it was seeing the success of her gig at the Hollywood Bowl that sparked the idea they could play there in the first place." Fingers crossed...

Take That back with live Gig?

THERE is some good news on the horizon for TAKE THAT fans suffering from withdrawal symptoms following the band's epic Circus tour last year.

More evidence has cropped up of another stunning live show to come next summer.

It sounds like a huge production is on the way after the City of Manchester Stadium was sounded out about a Take That residency during the close season.
The stadium - home of Manchester City - hasn't been used for three years for outdoor shows, but that is changing in 2011.
A source said: "The owners were becoming concerned at the damage caused to the pitch by the big shows. But the club are spending a fortune on a new state-of-the-art pitch.
"It combines plastic fibres with grass, which makes it very hard wearing.
"Take That's management have discussed dates for next June over a minimum of three nights across a weekend."
Take That played the stadium back in 2006.
Gary told me last year that his biggest regret on the Circus tour was doing too few dates. It could have sold out three times over.
Imagine the demand if ROBBIE WILLIAMS' name is on the ticket?

Take That grabará dos álbums: uno con Robbie y otro sin él

ROBBIE WILLIAMS: HE'S BACK (BUT NOT FOR GOOD)

ROBBIE Williams will definitely rejoin Take That for an album.


But before all you diehard fans break open the bubbly, take note: the Robster won’t be back for good.

The “boys” are out to reclaim their biggest boyband title from JLS by recording TWO albums this year – one with Robbie and one without.

My source close to the pop kings told me: “After taking a bit of time out Gary and the boys are now focused on bringing out two albums.

“The idea at the moment is to release two records.

“One with Robbie will hopefully be ready for Christmas and then one without him early next year.

“The band will be working with Madonna’s favourite producer Stuart Price who is currently working on Kylie’s big comeback album, so fans can expect a slightly different sound.” Is that the kerching of a cash register I hear?

Let’s just hope the lads find the time – what with all that extra activity Mark and Howard seem to be enjoying lately.

But before karaoke king Robbie plans to rule the world once more with Gary, Mark, Howard and Jason he’s desperate to shed those fat rings.

The Rock DJ knows he’s replaced old arch-enemy Gary as the chubby one of the group so he’s vowed to lose some excess pounds.

Covering up in a large granddad cardie at an intimate gig for Heart Radio, Mr Williams revealed: “I’m a little bit porky at the moment and I have to do sexy. Give me a few months so I can get in shape and take my clothes off.”

With his wedding to Ayda Field on the horizon as well, it’s not surprising he only asked for fruit and protein bars on his rider.

I wonder if Robbie’s decision to relive the group’s glory days has anything to do with his latest single Morning Sun bombing.

A grumpy Rob told the crowd: “This song went in this week at number thirty f**king five, number thirty f**king five...but I hope you enjoy it anyway.”

I certainly did lad. Personally think it’s one of your best songs in ages.

Take That y Robbie grabando juntos

UK singer Robbie Williams and his former boy band Take That are recording new tracks for the first time in 15 years.

Williams, 36, was Thursday holed up in a studio with Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Jason Orange, The Sun revealed.

Mark Owen bowed out of the sessions in Box, Wiltshire, on Wednesday in a bid to save his marriage after confessing to having 10 affairs.

Owen, 38, broke the news of his cheating to the mother of his two children, Emma, at their London home Wednesday.

The Take That recording marks the first time all five members have worked together on new material since Williams quit in 1995.

"It's amazing seeing them back together. They've been getting on like a house on fire," a studio worker said.

Take That is a multi-BRIT award winning English pop band known for hits like Back for Good and Patience.

Rumore Rumore: ¿Emma ha echado de casa a Mark?

Se comenta que Emma ha echado a Mark de casa , pero las fuentes no parecen fiables.

Mark Owen's wife kicks out the cheating rotter.

Mark Owen was desperately hoping that his wife Emma would stick with him amid all those nasty cheating revelations - but it's bad news for him, and good news for girl power, as we can reveal that she's kicked him out... for the time being at least.

After news of Mark's dalliances (a romantic-sounding word for some pretty sordid-sounding activity) hit the headlines, the couple had hours of intense talks, with him begging for forgiveness... but they resulted in her apparently getting rid of him with the words “Get out. You’re a liar and a cheat.” And Mark isn't even holed up at an expensive hotel with Ashley Cole, John Terry and an unlimited supply of porn - instead, he's been kipping on a blow-up bed at a friend's flat. Pretty grim for someone who used to be the biggest heartthrob in the country.It's believed that Mark told Emma about his affairs on Tuesday, after he found out that the press were onto him. They then didn't speak for two days.

"She listened calmly and then told him to leave straight away," a friend explains. "It was all a bit surreal at the time. But the extent of his betrayal is sinking in, she’s devastated. Mark knows he is responsible for the alcohol he drank and ultimately accountable for the mistakes he made. He is not blaming anyone else but himself."

Another friend of Mark's has talked about how the constant flow of free booze and adoring women coming Mark's way has ultimately led to his downfall.
"He’s not an alcoholic and it’s not as if he’s got a bottle of vodka by the side of his bed when he wakes up in the morning," they reveal. "He’s very much a social drinker who doesn’t know when to stop. It was all very well when he was on tour and away from home. But when he went out in London and came back in the early hours, his mood was terrible and him and Emma used to bicker all the time about it."Mark has two children - Elwood, three and Willow, one - with Emma, who he's been dating since 2004, which is also the year he met his mistress, Neva Hanley.

Mark says the affair with Neva ended before his wedding last October - but, bizarrely, he's paid her £9000 since they broke things off. So will Emma ditch Mark for good or take him back? "Emma’s understandably upset. It’s too early to say what’s next," said a source.
Poor Emma. And we bet Ashley Cole's relieved that the heat's off him for a second.

Williams graba cinco canciones con Take That

Robbie Williams has recorded five songs with Take That, it has emerged.

The 36-year-old singer, who quit the group – consisting of Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Howard Donald and Mark Owen – in 1995 has been busy in the studio with his former band mates, but has no plans to make any live appearances with them.

A source said: “There’s been much speculation as to what they plan to do but it will definitely be a record and not a tour - for now anyway. Fans will not be disappointed with the results.”

Rumours of a collaboration were triggered last month when the singer spent five hours in a Los Angeles studio singing and recording with his old bandmates and was then spotted hugging each of them as he left.

A source revealed at the time: "All the signs are looking good. It's great news for the fans. They're using this time in Los Angeles to start working together as a band again.

"They were delighted with the session and were congratulating each other as they left. They're using this time together to crack on with reunion songs."

Take That were in the city to record their parts for Simon Cowell's charity single, which was released to raise funds for the relief effort for Haiti's earthquake victims.

Robbie Williams joined by Take That at the Brits?

Nominations for the BRIT Awards are announced today (18.01.10), while it has been confirmed Robbie Williams, Lady Gaga and Kasabian will perform at this year's 30th anniversary event.

Robbie Williams, Lady Gaga and Kasabian will perform at this year's BRIT Awards.

'Angels' singer Robbie - who has previously spoken of how his severe stage fright has halted his live performances - will perform a short set to commemorate receiving a lifetime achievement award, with rumours rife that he will reunite with his former Take That bandmates for the second time since launching a solo career in 1996.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Take That could reunite with Robbie to perform his second track. It's the band's 20th anniversary year and they and they are in talks about doing something spectacular."

Robbie previously joined Take That and a host of other stars onstage for a rendition of Beatles song 'Hey Jude' at a concert in aid of charity Children in Need in November last year.

Meanwhile, rap superstar Jay-Z is rumoured to be making an appearance at the show, and will possibly perform with 'Viva La Vida' hitmakers Coldplay, fronted by Chris Martin.

A source said: "As well as bringing Alicia Keys on stage to do a rendition of their hit 'Empire State of Mind', he's thinking of getting Coldplay involved too. Chris Martin and Jay have been pals for years."

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga will not be able to realise her plan of performing alongside reality TV sensation Susan Boyle at the awards show - as the latter has reportedly been snubbed from nominations because she is "not cool" enough.

Susan- who rose to fame after appearing on 'Britain's Got Talent', one of media mogul Simon Cowell's TV shows - is said to have missed out on a nod in any category, despite being the biggest selling female artist of 2009 in the UK.

A source said: "She's not even shortlisted for Best Female, even though that's usually the weakest category.

"And it's not just an attack on Susan. It also shows how Simon Cowell is regarded by many in the record business."

However, one collaboration which will definitely take place at the awards will be between Dizzee Rascal and Florence and the Machine in a specially conceived track called 'You Got The Dirtee Love', a mash up of their tracks 'You Got The Love' and 'Dirtee Cash'.

'Beat Again' hitmakers JLS have also been confirmed to sing at the ceremony, which takes place at London's Earls Court on 16 February.

The nominations for the BRIT Awards will be announced tonight (18.01.10).

Howard Donald Upsets Neighbours

TAKE THAT star HOWARD DONALD has infuriated his London neighbours with plans to dig a basement extension for his luxury home.The British singer owns a $5.4 million (£3.4 million) townhouse in the city's exclusive Kensington district and was recently granted permission to create an underground room, a rear extension and a roof terrace. But the plans have upset other residents, who have now reportedly lodged formal objections with the local authority. One neighbour, Elizabeth Foxon, tells London's Evening Standard newspaper, "A similar large basement development is already taking place, causing a great deal of noise, heavy vehicle traffic and general disruption to the area.”

Full Take That Band together in Soho

Parece ser la noticia del día: Take That en el soho de NY celebrando la despedida de Mark con la aparición estelar de Robbie.

Hopes of a full Take That reunion gathered pace after a surprise guest turned up for Mark Owen’s stag party – Robbie Williams.

Songwriter Gary Barlow had arranged the stag do in New York on Wednesday, but he hadn’t told Mark, Jason Orange and Howard Donald who else had been invited.
So they were all stunned and delighted when Robbie strolled through the doors of the chic SoHo House restaurant.

Thrilled Mark, who is due to marry long-term girlfriend Emma Ferguson in a top-secret ceremony this winter, hugged Robbie and kept saying: “I can’t believe you’re here.”

It was the first time all five have been in the same room for three years. And their boozy get-together will heighten expectations that Robbie is poised to make a one-off stage appearance with Take That. And we hear the five also discussed offers of appearing at the next F1 Rocks gig.
Our spy at the restaurant confirms: “The lads were all sitting there chatting and Gary kept looking nervously at the door. Suddenly in walked Robbie Williams. Mark jumped out of his chair and gave him a big hug. He had the cheesiest grin on his face. All the lads looked happy to see Robbie. It looked exactly like what it was – old friends getting back together. They spent a couple of hours chatting. They were all well-behaved, not rowdy, although Mark seemed a bit the worse for wear by the end.”

Robbie is even expected to be guest of honour at Mark’s big day.
Now that really Could be Magic...

Mark to get married

OWEN TO WED GIRLFRIEND

TAKE THAT star MARK OWEN is set to wed his girlfriend EMMA FERGUSON in a lavish ceremony in November (09).

The Back For Good singer and his longterm partner have been engaged since 2006 and share two children together.
And they're set to seal their union by walking down the aisle later this year (09) at a Scottish castle, according to the U.K.'s Daily Record newspaper.
A source tells the publication, "They have been offered staggering amounts of money by a magazine (to cover the wedding)... But it didn't really appeal to them. They have picked a venue that holds a lot of sentimental value, but they want it to be a surprise for their family and friends right up until the big day."

Source

The Take That star will wed long-term girlfriend Emma Ferguson - mother of his two children, Elwood Jack, three, and nine-month-old Willow Rose - in November at a secret venue in Scotland.

The couple have sent out save-the-date invites and guests - who will include Mark's bandmates Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange - have been told to meet at a pick-up point, where they will be taken to the mystery location.

A source said: "They have picked a venue that's special to them. But they want it to be a surprise for their family and friends right up until the big day. Everyone has been trying to guess where it is, but not even Gary, Howard or Jason know where they will be.

"All they know is they have a night off and won't be expected to provide the entertainment for the night."

Mark, 37, first proposed to Emma in 2006 but delayed their nuptials due to the birth of their two children as well as Mark's commitments with Take That.

The source added: "Mark and Emma have been planning their wedding for sometime and have put a lot of thought into what they wanted. They already have two beautiful children so getting married is just the icing on the cake for their family."

It is thought the couple will only invite around 50 guests. Mark's former Take That bandmate and close friend Robbie Williams is expected to attend.
