Take That: Owen em reabilitação

Mark Owen dos Take That revelou que vai passar a Páscoa na clínica de reabilitação onde deu entrada há umas semanas.

O cantor britânico decidiu enfrentar os seus problemas de alcoolismo, depois de ver o seu casamento quase desfeito devido a vários casos de infidelidade, entretanto tornados públicos.

A clínica onde Owen está internado permite a saída dos pacientes, mas o cantor optou por continuar o tratamento até ficar melhor, porque, segundo citação do site femalefirst.co.uk, «prometeu à sua esposa expulsar todos os seus demónios».

Paralelamente, foi anunciado que Owen e os seus colegas nos Take That têm estado em estúdio a gravar com o regressado Robbie Williams.

Emma Takes That Mark back

SHE hasn't been to visit him in rehab for two weeks but MARK OWEN's distraught wife EMMA will soon be seeing a lot more of him.

Because, like most wives of cheating celebs, she's made the decision to Take That star Back For Good.

But I hear she wants to Relight the Fire in their relationship by moving into a different mansion.

My source revealed: "Mark is due out of rehab for his drinking imminently and Emma has decided she's going to give him another go.

"But she's made it completely clear things have to change and this is his last chance.

"If he lets her down again the door will be shut for good."

Actress Emma is planning to set up the family - including their son Elwood, three, and daughter Willow Rose, one - in a new house to give them a fresh start after he admitted to ten flings recently.

An insider close to the couple told me: "She's got her eye on a beautiful house in south-west London.

"It's a project she can focus on and try and stop thinking about her marriage to Mark."

I Pray Emma has made the right decision and Mark will respect their marriage from now on.

He'll need Patience as she asks him: How Deep Is Your Love?

Take That future "up in the air"

The future of Take That is said to be uncertain after Mark Owen checked-in to rehab following his admission of an alcohol addiction and a number of affairs.

According to Heat, sources close to the band have confirmed that the future of the band is "on hold" while Owen resolves his personal problems.

However, one claimed: "Mark is in rehab, so they can't continue recording without him. There's no more to it than that. As it stands, they're not going to split, but we'll have to wait and see.

"The boys are supposed to be releasing new material at the end of the year and that'll hopefully still happen. While you can never say never, Take That as a band are very much looking forward to the future and there's no real reason why the band can't continue."

They added: "Admittedly, things are a bit up in the air with Mark in rehab. All the boys are sticking by him - they're there for both him and Emma and are determined to support him through this.

"Mark is very much a part of the Take That family, and once he's addressed his demons the band can move forward."

Owen will reportedly leave rehab next month after responding well to treatment.

Gary and Dawn - Kick Ass premiere

The film, based on a comic book by Mark Millar, has been criticised for its use of bad language and features actress Moretz, who was 11 at the time of filming, repeatedly swearing and killing other characters.

Director Vaughn has previously defended the film, which has a 15 rating, saying: 'It's pretty amazing that four letters can have such a powerful effect on people.

'You know, taboos have to be broken,' he added. 'It's a free country and you don't have to watch it. There are enough people who like this film to warrant it being made.'

The character, called Hit-Girl, slices off people’s legs and shoots bullets through a man’s cheek. In one scene, the young serial killer screams at her victims: ‘Okay, you ****s, let’s see what you can do now.’

In another, she tells her vigilante father she wants a puppy for her birthday. When he looks surprised, she says: ‘I’m just f****** with you, Daddy’, and asks for a razor-sharp knife instead.

When asked by one U.S. interviewer about the suitability of an 11-year-old using the C-word, Miss Goldman said: ‘I think that’s the least of our worries.’

ROBBIE WILLIAMS: HE'S BACK (BUT NOT FOR GOOD)

ROBBIE Williams will definitely rejoin Take That for an album.

But before all you diehard fans break open the bubbly, take note: the Robster won’t be back for good.

The “boys” are out to reclaim their biggest boyband title from JLS by recording TWO albums this year – one with Robbie and one without.

My source close to the pop kings told me: “After taking a bit of time out Gary and the boys are now focused on bringing out two albums.

“The idea at the moment is to release two records.

“One with Robbie will hopefully be ready for Christmas and then one without him early next year.

“The band will be working with Madonna’s favourite producer Stuart Price who is currently working on Kylie’s big comeback album, so fans can expect a slightly different sound.” Is that the kerching of a cash register I hear?

Let’s just hope the lads find the time – what with all that extra activity Mark and Howard seem to be enjoying lately.

But before karaoke king Robbie plans to rule the world once more with Gary, Mark, Howard and Jason he’s desperate to shed those fat rings.

The Rock DJ knows he’s replaced old arch-enemy Gary as the chubby one of the group so he’s vowed to lose some
excess pounds.

Covering up in a large granddad cardie at an intimate gig for Heart Radio, Mr Williams revealed: “I’m a little bit porky at the moment and I have to do sexy. Give me a few months so I can get in shape and take my clothes off.”

With his wedding to Ayda Field on the horizon as well, it’s not surprising he only asked for fruit and protein bars on
his rider.

I wonder if Robbie’s decision to relive the group’s glory days has anything to do with his latest single Morning Sun
bombing.

A grumpy Rob told the crowd: “This song went in this week at number thirty f**king five, number thirty f**king five...but I hope you enjoy it anyway.”

I certainly did lad. Personally think it’s one of your best songs in ages.

Take That record with Madonna producer

IT'S not been the best couple of weeks for TAKE THAT - but at last here's some exciting news about their music.

The man band, rocked by MARK OWEN's admission of ten affairs, have hired MADONNA's chief sonic architect STUART PRICE to oversee their next album.

Price made his name working with Madge on her Confessions On A Dancefloor CD in his bedroom studio.

He also produced the last THE KILLERS album Day & Age, and has picked up Grammy Awards for his remixes of COLDPLAY's Talk and NO DOUBT's In My Life.

GARY BARLOW, Mark, HOWARD DONALD and JASON ORANGE are busy working with British maestro Stuart to sculpt a brand new sound.

They want him to steer their music in more of a disco and dance direction.

A source said: "It's a bold move by the lads to make the next album more interesting. They've played it safe in the past with mainstream producers. But this will take things up a notch. The plan is for Stuart to then work on the sound of their next live tour and bring the whole thing together. Howard, a successful DJ in his own right, has been championing Stuart."

Sounds like a good collaboration but it could be quite camp. Price has just finished the next SCISSOR SISTERS album.

Take That's past two albums, The Circus and Beautiful World, were produced by American rocker JOHN SHANKS.The new project - still untitled - is shaping up to be the most exciting album in Take That's 20-year career.

For a start it will be their first since 1995's Nobody Else to feature ROBBIE WILLIAMS.

Expect it to be released by the end of the year.

I bet that can't come soon enough for Mark or the huge army of Take That fans...

Mark Owen internado em clínica de reabilitação

O cantor inglês Mark Owen, dos Take That, que escandalizou os fãs na semana passada ao assumir publicamente ter traído a companheira e mãe dos seus dois filhos com pelo menos dez mulheres diferentes, está internado numa clínica de reabilitação para lutar contra os problemas relacionados com o abuso de álcool.

"Posso confirmar que Mark decidiu internar-se na sexta-feira passada numa clínica particular, embora seja seu desejo manter desconhecido o local", afirmou um porta-voz do músico.

Mark Owen, de 38 anos, que há muito convive com problemas de alcoolismo, casou com Emma Ferguson em Outubro do ano passado, num castelo da Escócia, após cinco anos de vida em comum. O casal tem dois filhos, Elwood, de três anos, e Willow Rose, de um.

Emma Ferguson & Elwood Owen

Mark Owen’s Wife Looks Miserable Amid Reports She’s Thrown Him Out…
As Emma Ferguson left the family home in London this morning to take her son to school she looked extremely glum - But considering yesterdays revelations that’s hardly surprising is it?!

Meanwhile, in light of the fact that Mark has now admitted to at least 10 affairs during his relationship with Emma, you wont be surprised to hear she’s kicked him out.

Apparently the pair were locked in crisis talks for hours, Mark was begging for forgiveness but it got him nowhere and Emma simply said, “Get out. You’re a liar and a cheat.”

The Take That star reportedly told his wife he’s a dirty dog on Tuesday when he discovered the newspapers were about to print the story. She didn’t go ballistic she just listened to what he had to say and then asked him to leave.

Bookies now have Owen on 7-4 odds to divorce by the end of the year. Sad.

Could it be (even more) tragic? Is Howard Donald the latest Take That star revealed as a serial shagger?

Sunday morning and we're saddened and shocked at reports that yet another popstar has been unable to keep it in his Calvins - and what's worse, it's ANOTHER member of Take That!

Yes, dearest readers, if the latest kiss and tell is to be believed, Howard Donald 'romped' with a Dutch lover (why does everything sound ruder when you put the word 'Dutch' in front of it?) while still with the mum of his five year old daughter.

Merith Van Onselen has flogged her side of the tale to a tawdry downmarket rag, so we're not sure whether we believe it or not.

After all, it's Howard! He of the lovely smile! The one we fancied 'cos we could see past the rubbish dreadlocks while everyone else slavered over Robbie!

Anyroadup, this Merith bird reckons he 'wooed her while high on wacky baccy' (note to lawyer - this was in Berlin and it's legal there) and 'cheated on' then partner Marie Christine Musswesseles, mum of his little girl Lola, five.

Has to be said, the news has pretty much ruined our Mothers' Day for us. We feel treacherous having sent our ma a bunch of tulips. FROM HOLLAND!

But it's pretty clear this Merith person (what sort of a name is that anyway?) has flogged her tale as she's bitter now Howard has dumped her and she really doesn't come out of this smelling of roses at all. Never mind tulips. And Howard isn't even with Marie anymore either.

But it still leaves us wondering - what TT bombshells are going to be dropped on us next? That Gary secretly tortures kittens? That Jason Orange's favourite colour is actually pink?

We don't think we can take much more so we're going back for a lie down. Wake us up when this trashing of The That's reputation is over...

Mark Owen reveals drink problem

The singer - who also admitted he had been a heavy cannabis user and still smokes the occasional joint - said: "I have had issues for a long time - I've drunk for the last 10 years and it got to a bad point."

He went on: "I never really saw the problem. I carried on drinking through my relationship with Emma and it got to the point where she asked me to stop. I've never liked drinking during the day but once the kids went to bed, I'd get the bottle open and off I went. I have been a prat. I wasn't thinking - I don't think logically when I'm drunk. I'm not the person I want to be when I'm drunk. I can be a nightmare to live with."

Referring to his flings, the star said: "I want to make it absolutely clear I am not using the drink as an excuse. I've been living with the guilt. Maybe the drink was my way of dealing with the guilt."

Mark Owen assume ter traído a mulher

O cantor inglês Mark Owen, dos Take That, acaba de entrar para o “clube” dos famosos envolvidos em escândalos sexuais. A diferença é que foi o próprio músico de 38 anos quem decidiu sair a público para assumir que traiu a companheira, Emma Ferguson, com pelo menos dez mulheres diferentes, até porque sem sequer se lembra bem.

Em declarações à Imprensa britânica, Owen explicou que as traições ocorreram devido aos seus problemas relacionados com o abuso de álcool e também, confessou ele, à sua tendência para “mulherengo”.

O músico afirmou estar “profundamente arrependido” pela dor que provocou junto de Emma e dos dois filhos que têm em comum, Elwood, de três anos, e Willow Rose, de um. “Fui egoísta e teimoso. Tudo o que me aconteceu fui eu próprio que causei. Se chegávamos a discutir, a culpa era minha", declarou Mark, que casou com Emma em Outubro de 2009, após vários anos de vida em comum.

"Sei que, neste momento, soa a estúpido, mas a aliança de casamento é algo muito importante para mim e quero ser fiel à minha palavra. O dia do meu casamento foi um grande momento para mim”, acrescentou Owen que, entretanto, não soube dizer o número de casos de infidelidade que teve. Não sei quantas. Talvez dez”, observou Mark que, entretanto, reforçou a confissão com um comunicado divulgado ontem.

"Sinto-me profundamente triste pela dor que os meus actos causaram à minha família e amigos. E gostaria de pedir aos media para que respeitem a privacidade da minha mulher e dos meus filhos durante este momento difícil", escreveu o cantor.

Mark Owen and wife arrive home for crunch talks after he confesses to TEN affairs



Strain: Mark Owen's wife Emma wasn't wearing her wedding ring as the couple returned to their south London home yesterday


The marriage of Take That singer Mark Owen was on the rocks last night after he admitted cheating on his wife ten times.
Owen, 38, was forced to break the news to wife Emma on Tuesday after one of the girls threatened to tell her about their five-year entanglement.

Yesterday he confessed in public to all ten flings, saying: 'I have really let her [Emma] down. Friends, everybody, I feel like I have let everyone down.'

Friends of the couple say it is 'too early' to tell if the marriage can be saved.

The pair have two children - Elwood, three, and Willow Rose, one - but only wed last October after a courtship of five years.

One of Owen's affairs, with accounts manager Neva Hanley, 24, carried on for most of that time, with the lovers sharing a final night together just weeks before his wedding.
Another of their encounters took place a week after the birth of his daughter.

Other infidelities were drunken one night stands while he was on tour with his band.

The star, who admitted his drinking had affected his marriage, tried desperately to apologise to Emma when he came clean on Tuesday, fearing Miss Hanley was about to sell her story.

Friends alleged she had threatened to come to his family home or call his wife.

The singer said yesterday: 'I have been an idiot. It's about me, my mistakes. Nobody else is to blame. I have been living with the guilt.

'It has always been there, you carry it around with you.It held me back in my relationship with Emma. I wouldn't have done any of this if I had my time again.I am halfway through my life now and this, in a way, is a lesson. You've got to learn and that's what I am going to do.'

The shattered-looking star and his wife arrived back at their home in Wandsworth, South London, yesterday after spending the night apart.
A friend said: 'Mark has just dropped an almighty bomb on Emma. She always suspected he was cheating, but he always denied it.

'She is extremely strong-willed and it is too early to say whether she will stay with Mark. She wants to do what is right for the children. She doesn't know what to do yet.
Mark confessed all to Emma on Tuesday - he had an inkling what Neva was going to do -and they did not spend Wednesday day or night together. Emma is devastated, while Mark feels terrible, but this is something he has been dragging around for years. Neva basically stayed as a friend, any time he had a problem, he would be in touch with her, but the relationship went too far.'

Miss Hanley, who was brought up in a middle-class family in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, changed her name from Victoria to Neva when she moved to London to go to dance school.

She appeared in several dance videos and adverts, including one for Cornetto ice cream.

On her Twitter page, Miss Hanley calls herself a 'slightly lost dancer, advert-sellout, fish keeper, explicit cupcake lover and gin junkie'. Yesterday, as the story of her affair came out, she boasted on her page: 'Going to stamp on someone's parade.'

Take That's Mark Owen and wife arrive home for crunch talks after he confesses to TEN affairs

  • Father-of-two blames alcohol for his love-cheat behaviour
  • Star gave one lover £9,000 after calling off affair
A tense Mark Owen battened down the hatches at his West London house today as he prepared for crunch talks with his wife after admitting to cheating on her with at least ten different women.
The couple arrived together in a black Lexus this afternoon and the Take That singer sheepishly followed Emma, who looked tired and drained, into their martial home.

The singer, 38, made the shock revelation in a tell-all interview with a newspaper today, blaming a long battle with alcohol for his philandering ways.
He said he was 'deeply sorry' for the pain he had caused Emma, whom he married in October after more than five years together.
The couple have two children - Elwood, three, and Willow Rose, one.

Mark Owen pede desculpa por traições

Um dos membros dos Take That, Mark Owen, afirmou-se «profundamente arrependido» por ter enganado a companheira de cinco anos, antes de terem casado em 2009.

Owen, de 38 anos, contou ao jornal The Sun que foi infiel com várias mulheres durante o seu relacionamento com Emma Ferguson, mãe dos seus filhos.
Um dos affairs chegou a durar quatro anos, mas acabou antes de Mark dar o enlace com a mulher. Desde aí diz que se tem mantido fiel.
Num comunicado, declarou: «Estou profundamente arrependido pela dor que as minhas acções causaram à minha família e amigos». O cantor ainda pediu aos media que respeitassem a privacidade da mulher e dois filhos «durante este tempo difícil».
Mark, que ganhou o Big Brother Famosos em 2002, admitiu os casos à mulher na quarta-feira e a sua confissão foi publicada hoje na edição impressa do jornal.
O cantor dos Take That ressalvou que tem vivido com a culpa, mas que agora aprendeu a lição e que encarou o compromisso do matrimónio como um novo começo.
Para além das infidelidades, confessou ainda que o seu problema com a bebida causou problemas na sua relação com Ferguson.

Children

The pair were an item long before they finally married in a Scottish castle last October, watched by smiling bandmates Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange.

And they have two children - Elwood, three, and Willow Rose, one.

One of Mark's affairs - with accounts manager Neva Hanley, 24 - carried on for the best part of five years.

The others were drunken one-night stands with girls while Take That were on tour.

Mark said: "I don't know how many girls there were in all. Maybe ten."

Yesterday he admitted everything to unsuspecting Emma as he tried desperately to draw a line under his betrayal and forge a new beginning with her.

The star - who insists he has been faithful to Emma since their wedding - said: "I have been living with the guilt. It has always been there - you carry it around with you.

It held me back in my relationship with Emma. I wouldn't have done any of this if I had my time again.

I am halfway through my life now and this, in a way, is a lesson. You've got to learn and that's what I am going to do.

Emma is really strong and I know she will do what is right for her and the kids.

I support that and I really appreciate that.

She loved me - she still does love me - and I have let her down. That's the truth of it.

You realise what you have done when you face up to it and the mistakes you have made.

And I have really let her down. Friends, everybody. I feel like I have let everyone down.Close_quote

Mark, who also admits his behaviour can be "difficult," added: "I wish I had told Emma about this before we got married and come clean then.

Bedded

"I've done it now. It wouldn't be a second chance, it would be the 100th chance she has given me."

In another confession, he told how he last bedded Neva in September - just weeks before he wed Emma.

The other members of Take That, who have sold more than 30million albums worldwide, with 11 No1 singles, knew NOTHING about her.

Mark met posh Neva when she was just 19 on a platform at Preston railway station in September 2004, two years after he won the second series of Celebrity Big Brother.

They became friends - and three weeks later he flew her to Los Angeles, where they had sex in Hollywood's Best Western hotel.

Three months later Mark invited Neva to his Lake District home, where they spent a night smoking cannabis, drinking vodka and having sex.

The pair later cooled their relationship but kept in touch and met up occasionally at hotels.

A week after Mark's daughter was born, they had another night of passion.

Their final romp came at the Gore Hotel in Kensington, West London.

Neva told The Sun: "We had sex five times that night. That's when I started to feel really guilty."

She added: "The lie has gone on for too long. I can't do this to Mark's family any more."

Mark said: "When I met Neva in September it was because I was having a tough time with Emma. I wasn't feeling very good about myself or the future and I went down my phonebook, found her number and we met up.

Chance

"After that last meeting I realised I had to try to sort my life out. I had to change the person I was. The wedding for me was a new slate and a new start. In my head there was never a time when I was doubting getting married. It was a chance for me to put it all behind me and not make the mistakes I had made in the past."

Mark met Neva last month and told her his family came first and she had to keep her distance.

The mega-rich star has posted a series of cheques totalling £12,000 to her from his private account over the last year, including £9,000 since he tied the knot with Emma, 33.

Superstars ... Mark with bandmates Jason, left, Gary and Howard,  right

He said: "She phoned me the week before I got married. She said she had lost her job and was going to lose her flat - and asked if I could help her out.

"I have known her for years so I said, 'Of course.' In all I paid her about £12k, the last one just last week.

"When I have been in a bad way, when I have needed a bit of support, she has been there for me. All the other girls were one night stands. On tour. When I was away from home on wild nights out, which was every night. I'm not in contact with any of them.

"It wasn't the girls' fault, it was mine. I would be up for it and looking for it. I wasn't thinking straight. The next day I would think, 'Oh f***.' It was regret - disappointment in myself. I had been drinking. I wouldn't have the nerve to talk to a girl when I'm not drunk."

He added: "I wasn't paying Neva with the intention of keeping her quiet. I'd have no money left if I was paying them all off.

"None of the boys knew about her. I told them about her yesterday. She was at gigs but they never met her."

Better

Mark admitted his drinking had caused cracks in his relationship with Emma - and said he had been "not very nice to live with".

He added: "I denied to her I was having an affair when things were going on. It was getting better and better, me and Em. We met and within a year and a half she was pregnant with our first beautiful boy, Elwood. And when you have kids, things change. I feel like I am getting to know Em more and more every day. I love her to death but our relationship hasn't always been great, because of me. She has tried really hard to support me. Life was hard, I guess. I let Emma down. I was selfish and stubborn."

Mark Owen
Wedding bliss ... Mark and Emma on their big day

"Everything that has happened to me I have brought on myself. If ever we argued it was down to me."

Mark said he'd had nothing to do with other girls since his wedding.

He added: "I'm proud of that. I know that sounds really stupid but on our wedding day, for me the ring is really important and I want to be true to my word.

"It was a big change for me to be able to do that. It was a big moment for me, my wedding day. On many levels it was a fresh start and that was how I was looking at it."

Mark said he was addressing his booze problem. He added: "I have noticed a change since I stopped drinking, but I am quite difficult. It wasn't the sunshine Emma was hoping for but it is better. I have always liked a drink and I am a party man."

The star went on to declare that coming clean about his affairs might be the best thing that has happened to him. He said:

Close_quote This has to happen for me to move on. It would have always been there. I could never have been fully open with Emma, with myself, with anybody. Now I can.

I can start again. That's how I feel.

I wish I had realised about my drinking earlier.

Emma is a strong girl. She has to do what is right for her and the kids. And I am here if she wants me.

I want to do the right thing now for the kids and Emma.

It's the best thing in the world having kids. I feel blessed and I am really sorry that I have done this to them and to Emma.

She has done a lot of good for me, Emma has. She is absolutely without doubt the only person I want to be with for the rest of my life.

She is the best thing that has happened to me. I want us to grow together and be together - but let's see what happens.Close_quote

He added: "I really wanted for me and Emma to move on when we got married and not make the same mistakes.

"It's going to do good in the long run. It's for the best, this.

"In situations like this people surprise you. Friendships and the words people send. I feel supported - an idiot like me."

Mark - My 10 affairs

MARRIED Take That star Mark Owen last night sensationally confessed to having TEN affairs.

The "squeaky clean" singer opened his heart to The Sun in a bid to wipe the slate clean and start afresh with his wife Emma.

Mark, 38, broke the news of his cheating to Emma, mum of their two kids, at their London home yesterday.

He said: "She loves me and I let her down. I'm really sorry."

The multi-millionaire singer blamed a long battle with booze for his two-timing, which will shock millions of the chart-topping band's adoring fans.

And he told The Sun: "I have been an idiot, a d***head, a k***head. All of the above and more."

Wedding day: The singer married Emma in a Scottish castle in October

One ongoing affair, with an account manager Neva Hanley, 24, started around the same time he began dating Emma, he revealed in a confession to The Sun.
His other indiscretions were alcohol-fuelled one-night stands that took place while he was on various tours with the band.
'I don't know how many girls there were in all. Maybe ten,' he told the newspaper.
His secret relationship with Hanley began in 2004 when they met on a train station platform in Preston.
He flew her Los Angeles three weeks later which marked the beginning of their physical relationship.
They soon met up again at his Lake District home where they smoked cannabis and drank vodka together before having sex.
They continued to meet up occasionally in various hotels - they were together just one week after Owen's daughter was born and a month before his wedding day.
He also admitted to sending her £12,000 in cheques from his personal account, including £9,000 after he finally called off the affair following his nuptials in Scotland late last year.
He insists the money was not sent in an effort to buy her silence.

Owen admitted his drinking had put a strain on his relationship with Emma and admitted he was 'not very nice to live with'.
'I denied to her I was having an affair when things were going on. I want to do the right thing now for the kids and Emma. She is absolutely without a doubt the only person I want to be with for the rest of my life.'
He also claimed his Take That bandmates Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange were unaware of his affair with Hanley, but he did not say if they knew of his many liaisons on tour.

In a statement released today, Owen, 38, said: 'I'm so deeply sorry for the pain my actions have caused my family and friends.
'I'd like to ask the media to please respect the privacy of my wife and children during this difficult time.'

Gary & Jason - Alternative version of Single for Haiti



Turns out there's an alternative version. This one's also higher quality.

Final do ano teremos surpresas

Williams has previously suggested that he and GARY BARLOW are back in the studio writing songs together.
He told the magazine: "I've got something exciting planned for the end of the year, too. Separate to me.... And that's very, very, very exciting."

Top 100 UK Celebs by Piers Morgan (Mail on Sunday)

23 TAKE THAT

Let me take you back to 1990. I'm sitting in a rusty old van with five eager young men on our way to a photo shoot, and they're bombarding me with questions about the famous people I know.

'Can't believe you know Paul McCartney!' one sighed, in awed admiration. 'Maybe you guys will one day,' I replied.

And they all shook their heads in disbelief at the very idea of such a thing. I helped them have their first hit record, wrote their first two official books and have stayed friendly with four of them at least. And in December I sat at home watching their TV special, and saw them larking about with Paul McCartney.

Take That have come a long, long way. And their comeback is one of the best deserved in showbusiness history.

Oozing with longevity and likeability: Manband Take That

Real power in the music business is achieved by longevity and likeability.

Gary, Mark, Howard and Jason have both, in spades. I hung out with them in LA last summer, and unlike so many of their contemporaries, they really hadn't changed a bit, were truly grateful for the second chance they'd been given and were loving every minute of it. And I couldn't be happier for them.

Everybody Hurts - Help For Haiti (Alternative version)

To anyone interested there is actually an alternative video

Robbie Williams 'records five songs with Take That'

Robbie Williams has been busy with Take That, and has even recorded five songs with his former band!

Robbie Williams has been busy in the studio with his former band Take That, but sadly for us, he has no plans to make any live appearances with them.

Well, at least not yet.

A source said: “There’s been much speculation as to what they plan to do but it will definitely be a record and not a tour - for now anyway. Fans will not be disappointed with the results.”

Rumours of a collaboration were triggered last month when the singer spent five hours in a Los Angeles studio singing and recording with his old bandmates and was then spotted hugging each of them as he left.

A source revealed at the time: "All the signs are looking good. It's great news for the fans.
They're using this time in Los Angeles to start working together as a band again. They were delighted with the session and were congratulating each other as they left. They're using this time together to crack on with reunion songs."

They need to release an album. NOW.

Gary começa a escrever as novas músicas para o álbum!

GARY BARLOW has renewed his songwriting deal with Sony. But artists hoping for a hit penned by the TAKE THAT frontman will have to wait - he's concentrating on the band's next album.

The follow-up to The Circus is expected later this year and plans are underway for a tour in 2011.

Gary and the boys, JASON ORANGE, MARK OWEN and HOWARD DONALD, have shifted a whopping 4.8million albums since they reformed and, with ROBBIE WILLIAMS rumoured to feature, I can see the next CD selling another few million.

Gary is delighted to renew his partnership with Sony, who publish his songs. He said: "Because songwriting is such a huge part of what I do, my relationship with Sony is really important."

Gary has written tracks for N-DUBZ, ALESHA DIXON and DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY, but they and other big names will just have to be patient.

Gary Barlow concentrates on Take That Album

GARY Barlow has put all his other song-writing commitments on hold to concentrate on finishing the next Take That album.

Sony/ATV have signed up Gaz, 38, to a massive deal to pen hits for other artists.


But the firm’s boss Rak Shanghiv said: “He’s got to focus on the Take That record with the rest of the guys and they’re doing it now, but he’s not a man who sits around.

“I’m sure the second the Take That record is in the bag he’ll be off on other projects.”

I revealed last week that Take That have already recorded five new tracks with Robbie Williams, 35, for the new album expected to be released later this year.

Gary Barlow Stays With Sony

Gary Barlow has renewed his songwriting deal with Sony/ATV but is committed to finishing the new Take That album before working with anyone else.

Gary Barlow has renewed his songwriting deal with Sony/ATV.

The Take That singer - who has penned tracks for a host of other artists, including Dame Shirley Bassey and N-Dubz - is delighted to have extended his publishing contract with the group so he can continue writing for other people.

He said: "Because songwriting is such a huge part of what I do, the partnership with Sony is so important."

However, any pop stars hoping for a track from the 'Patience' hitmaker may have a long wait as Gary is currently tied up with recording the next Take That album, the follow-up to 2008's hit LP 'The Circus'.

Sony/ATV boss Rak Sanghvi said: "He's got to focus on the Take That record with the rest of the guys and they're doing it now, but he's not a man who sits around.

"I'm sure the second the Take That record is in the bag he'll be off on other projects."

It was recently reported that Take That - Gary, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald - have teamed up with their former bandmate Robbie Williams to record five songs for their new LP, which is expected to be released later this year.
