Robbie Williams has rattled the patience of the anti-smoking lobby by dragging on a cigarette in front of more than 52,000 people at his first show in Brisbane. A spokesman for Health Minister Stephen Robertson said while it was illegal to smoke at public venues, Robbie was a visitor to both Australia and Queensland and he might not have been aware of the anti-smoking laws and how seriously Queenslanders regarded them. "We hope there's not a repeat performance tonight," Mr Robertson said yesterday. The spokesman would not say what penalties the pop star would face if he became a repeat offender. Queensland Cancer Fund manager Susan Greenbank took a more tongue-in-cheek approach; "Robbie is a very bad boy and there are a number of staff at the Queensland Cancer Fund who would be more than willing to give him a stern talking to," she said. I bet she has some special punishment for naughty Robbie.
See, in the beginning, I couldn't stand Robbie Williams. In fact, anyone who was remotely connected with a boy band made me sick to my stomach. Then suddenly, as if from a flash of mainstream hoodoo voodoo, I was smitten. See, I think he's probably revolting in real life. He's all laddy and I'm a reformed drug addict and all of you are a complete losers if you even look at a Bex. See, there is a distinct line between performers and their real life personas. They can be a right ol' ning-nong tosser and I couldn't care less as long as they tickle my fancy bone.
When he teamed up with Kylie Minogue, I thought it was such a miss match. You see, Kylie has no sexuality. She is one of those nymphs that just floats about singing and occasionally kissing someone on the cheek. As for Robbie, he explodes with sexuality. He's admitted that he's been with everyone and everything.

Now, picking Daryl Hannah for his music video was sheer brilliance. That liaison I could understand. Something extra, well Daryl has this little secret in the palm of her hand. A half finger to be exact. When she makes some movies they digitally enhance the finger so that she doesn't look freakish. I wonder if she still thinks about JFK junior. Her replacement looked similar. I wonder if she ever wonders that it could of been ol' Daryl in that plane.

Now Noel Gallagher is having some sort of war of words against poor ol' Robbie about the state of his mental health. I heard that these two were as thick as thieves. It coincided with Oasis being rehashed so I think it was just so he could get his name on my blog.

All this smoke from Robbie seems to have blown over my dear ol' town of Melbourne. Here it is just a few days ago. We were all coughing and splattering around the place because of all the damn bush fires everywhere. An eerie, orange light glowed all day and into the night. I didn't want to go outside.

One day later and now look at us. Thank goodness it all seems to be under control. Everyone is breathing. Everyone is glad that no one was hurt (except all the native animals that everyone is desperately trying to rescue) and everyone is going about their business to Santa's little bell. Ting-a-ling-ling.

Sheila,
Robbie has not 'made it' here...
So, I do not really see the appeal...
Know him as I still follow the british music scene a bit...
But my interests lie more in Indie music...
So Death Cab for Cutie, Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, Goldfrapp, and Radiohead are more on my map...
But mind you, I do not want to jump their bones...
Bit I know whay you mean about Kylie...
And did not know that Nicole Kidman tried a duet with anyone other than Mr. McGregor ...
And had noooooo idea about Darryl's finger was that due to the years of abuse at the hands of Joe Jackson??/
Hi Pendullum,
Thankyou for leaving those band names - I had a great time looking them up and was particularly impressed with The Decemberists site (I was already familiar with Radiohead ofcourse). I follow all types of music ranging from Death metal to stupid pop tunes - casting a wide net like that has been one of the best things about turning 40 I guess. I have to say that my taste in celebrity men is similar (sublime to the ridiculous).
I forget how Daryl Hannah lost the tip of her finger (have no idea if that dickhead Jackson was involved) - when I read about her finger and how she lives a fairly eccentric life - it made her shares rise dramatically for me - also her role in Kill Bill was a factor as well.
Hi Sheila,
Seeing that I’ve no idea who Robbie Williams is (okay, duh! on me), I’d like to comment on that smoke in Melbourne. I’ve been in the vicinity of a couple of forest fires; they’re scary and lethal to your lungs. Were the fires due to the heat? You’re in the midst of Summer, and I imagine it’s quite warm in Australia. Your “after” picture is lovely, with the crystal blue sky and everything in focus. The smoky photo reminds me of Southern California on a typical smoggy day, which is why I don’t live anywhere near there!
I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year….eat, drink and enjoy!
Thankyou Miss Litzi, I wish you all the best for Christmas!
It ranges from being really hot to quite cool some nights here. It seems to get hotter through January and February. Christmas Day is usually hot and we tend to throw something on the barby (barbecue) and down a load of turps (booze). I hope you have some nice vegetarian treats on the day. My sister is hosting it this year and it promises to be a vegetarian bonanza.
Hi Sheila,
It’s quite cold in the area of California where I am; last night it got down to 37°, which is unusual for living by the ocean. Your warm weather sounds inviting about now!
Is your sister preparing a “tofu roast” for dinner? I’m cooking dinner for my Mom and a few assorted relatives and friends (same ones that were hanging around on Thanksgiving); they’re all meat eaters so I’m fixing a ham feast. With everyone gobbling up a slain pig, I figure I’ll be able to eat yams and vegetables without anyone taking notice.
Merry Christmas, Sheila!!
Jackson Browne is the culprit, not Joe Jackson
ho ho ho n all that...
My sister is preparring a vegetarian barbecue without my beloved tofu roast Im afraid Miss Litzi. Merry Christmas to you dear and may all your dreams come true....
Oh Nash, thank goodness you pay attention to detail - yes it was the infamous Jackson Browne that socked poor Daryl in the eye - Merry Christmas ho ho ho....
