Robbie Williams Taking HGH For Low Testosterone

Posted on June 2, 2011 by popdirt

In a candid interview with Esquire magazine, confessed to taking Human Growth Hormone after taking blood tests in Los Angeles showing the singer had extremely low levels of testosterone. “To cut a long story short I went to get some HGH. It’s what all the old fellas are on out there in LA that’s making them look 40 instead of 60,” the 37-year-old explained. “It’s improving their health, their memory, their hair, skin. Could give you cancer. I weighed that up. Thought I’d have it anyway. Went to see a Hollywood doctor. Had my blood tests. Went back. He said, ‘You don’t need HGH. You’ve got the testosterone of a 100-year-old man.’ And then everything made sense. It was kind of an epiphany that day.” Read more.

Daily Star Reporter Confesses To Fabricating Celeb Gossip

Posted on March 5, 2011 by popdirt

Daily Star reporter Richard Peppiatt resigned in protest at what he claims is the British tabloid’s anti-Muslim propaganda, penning a letter to proprietor Richard Desmond which he also confessed to fabricating gossip about celebrities including and . The letter reads in part:

Daily Star favorite Kelly Brook recently said in an interview: “I do Google myself. Not that often, though, and the stories are always rubbish. There was a story that I’d seen a hypnotherapist to help me cut down on the time I take to get ready to go out. Where do they get it from?”

Maybe I should answer that one. I made it up. Not that it was my choice; I was told to. At 6pm and staring at a blank page I simply plucked it from my arse. Not that it was all bad. I pocketed a £150 bonus. You may have read some of my other earth-shattering exclusives.

‘Michael Jackson to attend Jade Goody’s funeral’. (He didn’t.) ‘Robbie pops ‘pill at heroes concert’. (He didn’t either.) ‘Matt Lucas on suicide watch’. (He wasn’t.) ‘Jordan turns to Buddha.’ (She might have, but I doubt it.)

I know showbiz is the sand on which your readership is built. And while I didn’t write tittle-tattle dreaming of Pulitzers, I never knew I’d fear a Booker Prize nomination instead.

Check out the entire letter here.

tells Q magazine he almost pulled out of the Take That reunion after suffering from severe toothache. “I wasn’t in the best frame of mind to meet anybody, let alone the band I used to be in,” he explained. “I was a hermit. I woke up that day with throbbing toothache. I’d taken some Vicodin and I was pretty monged. It was my missus who convinced me I should go.” The veteran boy band’s first album with Robbie in 15 years, ‘Progress’, is out November 22nd.

Take That Saved Robbie Williams From Quitting Music

Posted on October 13, 2010 by popdirt

says that had he not rejoined Take That, the 36-year-old may have retired from music. “If it wasn’t for the boys, I would probably be doing nothing because I quite enjoy doing nothing now,” Robbie said, according to The Sun. “It does feel like the end of one of the last chapters in the book and I do feel a bit spent to be honest with you. I’m loving what’s to come and I’m very excited being back with the boys, our album sounds amazing, I’m excited to do the tour and all that business… but I’m kind of still at a loose end figuring out what I want to do when I grow up.”

Robbie Williams with Take That

Newlyweds and Ayda were planning to jet off to a remote destination to celebrate their honeymoon but have canceled the plan at the last minute. The pair plan on a romantic vacation later when the attention from their nuptials dies down and they’d be less likely to be pestered by paparazzi. “They’ve chosen to stay at home. They were thinking of going away but decided to stay where they’re most comfortable – in the house with their dogs,” a source told The Sun. “They want to squeeze in a proper honeymoon later in the year once the hype about their wedding has died down. Robbie also didn’t want to run the risk of them being photographed on their romantic getaway either.”
