Robbie Williams Is Looking Well, Isn’t He?

9:29AM Jess McGuire | Just check out that beautiful mug, why don’t you? It’s great to see the former fat dancer from Take That (thank you, Noel Gallagher) looking so fresh faced and delightfully feminine! I know what you’re wondering… what has caused this special and rather interesting change in Robbie Williams’ appearance, eh? Is it the work of aliens? Or worse, Peter Andre? Relax, Robbie hasn’t gone mental due to hanging out with E.T/the Jordan-Price clan – he’s donning lady garments and a wig for a good cause! Looks like Robbie Williams has really embraced his feminine side during his time in the pop wilderness. The ex-Take That star, 35, goes all girlie for Comic Relief this Friday in a special sketch with Little Britain stars Matt Lucas and David Walliams. Ahh yes, Little Britain. The Footy Show of British comedy, if you will. Those lads have never come up with a man-in-a-dress sketch they didn’t like and go on to flog to death. Would you like to hear about Robbie’s character and motivation? Why not. More »

Exclusive Video: Comedy Genius Robert De Niro Dazzles Us With Best Performance in Years

2:25AM Defamer Hollywood | If Robert De Niro’s appearance at last night’s Meryl Streep tribute in New York is any indication, all those haters who ridiculed the actor’s agency switch last week might have another thing coming. To wit: De Niro killed. In a cruise-ship comic kind of way, perhaps, and filing through a fistful of index-carded one-liners, but still. This guy may yet pull down $20 million a picture if his timing keeps up, and he wasted no time soliciting his former co-star Streep to join him — if only someone at CAA would return his calls. Zing! Catch our exclusive video and a few more outtakes from De Niro’s repertoire after the jump. More »
