Robbie Williams wants to star in his own cookery show

The ‘Angels’ singer has become a keen chef after taking private cooking lessons and wants to show off his culinary skills with a TV programme and accompanying book.

The source added to Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “The problem is, Robbie isn’t exactly the healthiest eater on the planet. Who needs lessons in how to cook burgers and fries? That’s about all he’s interested in.”

Jay-Z confirms Hove Festival

Hove Festival, Norway, returns for its second year from June 23rd to June 27th. Hove Festival is a relative newcomer to the European festival map, but is already competing respectably with the other two main Scandinavian festivals Hultsfred and Roskilde.
With over 15,000 visitors each day, Hove was already in its first year the biggest festival in Norway.

Last year’s debut could also boast a carbon neutral status –zero carbon emissions – and the festival takes its environmental responsibilities seriously, collaborating closely with environmental groups such as Bellona from the planning stages. Nature is a key word here, with its idyllic location on the beautiful island of Tromøya outside the city of Arendal on the scenic Norwegian south coast, previously more known for its many naturalist painters than for its allegiance to ‘the devil’s music’. This is a policy that will be continued in 2008. Read the rest of this entry »

The British singer is desperate lend his voice to the opening of the latest 007 adventure ‘Quantum of Solace’, but accepts he will have to get past current favourite Amy Winehouse.

He said in an interview with ITV.com: “I think trying to do a themed song for a film is great, a song that encapsulates what the whole film is about. “

Bond would be a great one. To be honest I know Amy Winehouse is being hotly-tipped for it, which would be great if she gets to do that, but the Bond films are an institution in themselves and you’d love to, as an artist, get involved with something like that. It would be great to be involved”. Read the rest of this entry »
