With a new album and a biopic in the works, you’d think Robbie Williams would have his hands full.
But it turns out the former Take That singer is adding another string to his bow – by 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 imagination.
“It means having an irrational sense of optimism, which is very Robbie.
“It is a UK and US name brand and covers a range of skin care products including cleansers, serums and moisturisers. Fragrances are also included.
“Robbie has always had a ‘reach for the sky’ mentality and he is willing to give anything and everything.
“He likes to be busy and this new project is something he can really get into.
A film about Robbie’s life, Better Man, is currently filming in Australia, with The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracie overseeing the biopic.
Rob’s new album XXV is also out on September 9th.
The new work features 18 of his greatest songs, which he re-recorded with the Metropole Orkest – the world’s leading pop and jazz orchestra.
His new song Lost is part of the album.
Fans who purchase the deluxe version of XXV can hear three new tracks: Disco Symphony, More Than This and The World And Her Mother.
Robbie revealed earlier this year that he will also be hitting the road, but is trying to figure out how to make it work with his wife Ida Field and their four children bringing him along.
Rob said: “There’s a tour planned but I’m trying to figure out how to go on tour and be a dad.
“I was watching an interview with an actor and he said he didn’t see his kids grow up.
“Coming out of Covid – where I spent two-and-a-half years with them and now I’m going to do my job again – it’s like a Rubik’s cube that brings up new things that you have to understand.”
At least you can put on a fancy new face mask from your own brand and put your feet up while you’re doing it, Rob.
Billie new songs for shock ep
BILLIE EILISH shocked fans yesterday by releasing a surprise Guitar Songs EP featuring two new songs called TV and The 30th.
But the singer doesn’t want it to be long before she drops more music – and hopes to get back in the studio with her songwriter brother Phineas.

She told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1: “We’re hoping to do another album next year. I mean, it’s crazy.
“I hate to say it 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 really relevant to me. These are songs I want to say right now.
“I was talking to Phineas and I was like, ‘You know what, man? I don’t want to wait until the next album to put these songs on an album. 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 fuel when it comes to grabbing our attention in photo shoots.
She posed in lingerie and heels as she poured the contents of a can of petrol over herself to promote latest single Pressurelicious, which features rapper Future.

Megan became known for X-rated verses after the success of her collaboration with Cardi B WAP in 2020. But this new song takes the cake and practically doesn’t have clean enough lyrics to print in a family paper, other than the fact that she brags about “knocking the bed off its hinges.”
I’m not quite sure why she has hinges on her bed in the first place, but Megan better hope the guy she’s hooking up with is DIY-savvy.
TICKETS for Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band concerts in 2023 are selling out at lightning speed.

Taylor wore a black outfit matching that of sisters Haim Este, Danielle and Alana, to sing a mash-up of her song Love Story and their 2020 collaboration, Gasoline.
Taylor told the crowd: “When I heard my girls were playing in London at the O2 I thought, ‘I’m going to have to see this.’
“And it seems there are about 20,000 other people who thought that 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 number 29.
This is certainly another cause for celebration.
BRITISH success stories Joel Corey and Becky Hill have teamed up for a dance collaboration.
The pair plan to release the new tune, called History, in about two weeks after teasing it during some of their recent gigs.
Graceful movement
BEYONCE teams up with Grace Jones for a collaboration.
But I’m surprised they want to work together after what’s been said between them in the past.

Bey announced the Jamaican musician will feature 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 “are like me” anyway.
She wrote: “Trends come and people say, ‘Follow this trend.’
There’s a lot of that going on right now: ‘Be like Sasha Fierce (Beyoncé).
“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 like me.
She went on to say that artists like them have earned more than her from her work because she thinks about “art over money”.
The singer added: “I was so copied by these people who made a fortune that people thought I was so rich. But I did things for the excitement, the courage, the fact that it was new, not the money, and too many times I was the first, not the beneficiary.”
Let’s hope he gets a few quid from his involvement in what is sure to be a hugely successful album.
