WITH a new album and a biopic in the works, you’d have thought Robbie Williams had his hands full.
But it turns out the former Take That singer is adding another string to his bow, entering the health and beauty market with a skincare range called Hopeium.

A source close to the star said: “Robbie is open to anything and everything, and Hopeium is his brainchild.
“It means having an irrational sense of optimism, which is very Robbie.
“It has branded the name in the UK and the US and covers a range of skincare products including cleansers, serums and moisturisers. Fragrances are also included.
“Robbie has always had a ‘reach for the sky’ mentality and is willing to give anything and everything.
“He likes to be busy and this new project is something he can really get his teeth into.
A movie about Robbie’s life, Better Man, is currently being filmed in Australia, with The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey overseeing the biopic.
Rob’s new album XXV is also out on September 9th.
The new work includes 18 of his most important songs that he re-recorded with the Metropole Orkest, the world’s leading pop and jazz orchestra.
Their new song, Lost, appears on the album.
Fans who purchase the deluxe version of XXV will be able to hear three new tracks: Disco Symphony, More Than This and The World And Her Mother.
Robbie revealed earlier this year that he would also be hitting the road, but was trying to figure out how to make it work with his wife Ayda Field and their four children.
Rob said: “There’s a tour planned but I’m trying to figure out how to tour and be a dad.
“I was watching an interview with an actor and he said he didn’t see his children grow up.
“Coming out of Covid, where I spent two and a half years with them and now I’m going back to my job, it’s like a Rubik’s cube that offers new things that you have to discover.”
At least you can put on a fancy new face mask of your own brand and put your feet up while you’re at it, Rob.
Billie new songs for ep
BILLIE EILISH surprised fans yesterday by releasing a surprise Guitar Songs EP, featuring two new tracks called TV and The 30th.
But the singer doesn’t want it to be long until she has more music, and hopes to get back into the studio with her songwriter brother Finneas.

He told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1: “Hopefully we’ll do another album next year. I mean, it’s crazy.
“I hate to say that because I know it’s a disappointment to people who think, ‘Oh my God, they’re making an album.’ It will be out soon’. TV and The 30th are the only songs we have.
“These songs are very current for me. These are songs I want to say right now.
“I was talking to Finneas and I said, ‘You know what, man? I don’t want to wait until the next record cycle to put these songs on a record.’ And then it’s like, ‘Wow, we have these two guitar songs that are two years old.'”
Megan has a clever idea
MEGAN THEE STALLION is no combustible when it comes to grabbing our attention in photo shoots.
She posed in her underwear and heels while pouring the contents of a can of gas on her to promote her latest single Pressurelicious featuring rapper Future.

Megan has become known for X-rated verses after the success of her collaboration with Cardi B WAP in 2020. But this new track takes the cake and there are practically no lyrics clean enough to be printed in a newspaper familiar, aside from boasting. about “taking the bed off its hinges”.
I’m not entirely sure why she has hinges on her bed in the first place, but Megan should hope that the man she’s hooking up with is a dab hand at DIY.
TICKETS for Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band’s 2023 shows are selling out at lightning speed.

Taylor wore a black dress to match the ones worn by Haim Este sisters Danielle and Alana to sing a mash-up of her song Love Story and her 2020 collaboration Gasoline.
Taylor told the crowd: “When I heard my girls were playing in London at the O2, I thought, ‘I’ve got to see it.’
“And apparently there are about 20,000 other people who thought so too.”

The singer has the highest new entry on the singles chart this week thanks to her track with Calvin Harris, Justin Timberlake and Pharrell Williams.
It’s called Stay With Me and it’s new at #29.
Surely this is another reason to celebrate.
British success stories Joel Corry and Becky Hill have teamed up for a dance collaboration.
The pair plan to release the new tune, called History, in a fortnight after teasing it during some of their recent gigs.
Elegant movement
BEYONCE has teamed up with Grace Jones for a collaboration.
But I’m surprised they want to work together after what’s been said to each other in the past.

Bey has announced that the Jamaican musician will feature on a song called Move on her seventh album Renaissance next week, seven years after Grace accused her of copying.
In her 2015 book, I’ll Never Write My Memoirs, Grace said she wouldn’t follow other artists because most of them “were like me” anyway.
He wrote: “Trends appear and people say, ‘Follow this trend.’
There’s a lot of that right now: “Be like Sasha Fierce (Beyonce).
“Be like Miley Cyrus. Be like Rihanna. Be like Lady Gaga. Be like Rita Ora and Sia. Be like Madonna.” I cannot be like them, except in so far as they are already being like me.”
She went on to say that artists like them had benefited more than her from her creativity, because she thinks of “art over money”.
The singer added: “I’ve been copied so much by those people who have made a fortune that people assume I’m so rich. But I did things for the excitement, the daring, the fact that it was new, not for the money, and too many times I was the first, not the beneficiary.”
Hopefully he’ll get some delivery for his part in what will no doubt be a massively successful album.
