Robbie Williams To Make The Village People Movie

Robbie Williams has his eyes set on playing the gay cowboy in a film about hit ’70s band, The Village People.

The singer has offered GBP700,000 for the movie rights, provided he gets artisitic control of the project, according to press details.

Reportedly, Robbie told a friend “The Village People were icons. They defined disco and their story is amazing. It will make a great movie”.

An film industry source said “Ever since Moulin Rouge, The Guru and Chicago, every studio in Hollywood wants to do a musical, so Robbie won’t have a hard time getting this movie financed.”

“Studio executives are sold on the idea of a Village People movie.”

Robster is hoping to play the cowboy role made famous by Randy Jones, who sang on the hits “In The Navy” and “YMCA”.

Robbie added “They may be gay and I have gay tendencies so the way I see it I think I’d do a good job of making this flick. They were great entertainers too and their story deserves to be told, so I’ll tell it.”

Victoria brings Brooklyn to school

SINGAPORE (SOUNDBUZZ) – Spice Girl Victoria Beckham’s eldest son Brooklyn has started school in England confounding speculation the family are planning to move abroad.

The Beckhams have been at the centre of furious speculation that the sportsman is planning to transfer to a high profile club abroad. But a friend of the couple believes the family are unlikely to leave anytime soon since Brooklyn has just enjoyed his first day at school. The pal says, “The first time Victoria dropped him off she had tears in her eyes, her boy looked so smart in his uniform, but he’s still her baby. It was hard for her to leave him at the gates, although he was really into it, giggling and smiling.”

“I think people assume life’s a doddle for her and David but like any other parent, they spent ages pouring over prospectuses of many schools. But the couple have chosen well and Brooklyn is settling in beautifully.”
