British entertainer, Robbie Williams who once dated, Scotland’s rock crooner Rod Stewart’s ex-wife, Kiwi supermodel, Rachel Hunter, is a record breaking entertainer in the UK.
Williams star power has been clocked by the Guiness Book of Records as Reuters notes by reporting via The Hollywood Reporter that:
A performance by British pop star Robbie Williams, broadcast to more than 250 theatres around the world, set a world record on Tuesday by having the largest number of screenings of a live concert in theaters.
“BBC Worldwide’s live show of Williams’ sold-out “Electric Proms” show, beamed to 23 countries, marked the “most simultaneous cinematic screenings of a live concert” in history. The concert was shown via satelitte in movie theaters. Innovative TV broadcasting.
Germany, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland all participated. And, Mexico City, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and other countries are in next for the concert experience treat. It’s really how Michael Jackson should have ‘toured.’
In addition: “Williams holds another Guinness World Record as Robbie’s 2009 “Close Encounters” tour sold 1.6 million tickets in a single day.”
Though underrated in America, a market he has never had success in, Robbie Williams is the Michael Jackson of the UK. Live in concert, Williams is brills! I once went to see Robbie live in Auckland City with Trinity Brookes, when Lady Paticria Thorp gave us tickets. Patricia was just so kinda all sorts of connected for a ‘good governance granny!’ She was a sweetheart and Trin loved her grandma’s taste in rockers at the concert. Robbie Williams killed it.
Anyway, Robbie just starts a song, and we his fans, finish off all the lyrics. It is like a sing-a-long where Williams plays conducter in a kilt, doc martins, a black wife beater that reveals his ta moko artistry (his Maori tattoo). He’s awesome.
Has he just reinvented how artists ‘tour’? Robbie Williams doesn’t even need to.
Go here to hear Robbie Williams Angels song, live in Berlin. Love him! Only an angel could get paid, for other people to sing all their songs at a concert. Britney Spears can do this too, in concert. True stars.

THE HORIWOOD TOP TEN – CRUMPET SUPERMODEL KIWI ACTION – 3.22.11
In 1985 one school girl brought a nation to a stand still eating an ice cream called a crumpet. Millions of pine trees trembled because they knew they were about to be turned into kleenex. This was the case. The young lady would win hearts the world over.
Her name was Rachel. She is the lamb who is also a hunter. Years later, she’d go on to wow the fashion runways of the world, wind up the boys of the UK who had to have her zeal and zest for life beside them. She’d mother amazing children and lead with her refreshing spirit, her natural beauty, her courage to remain sweet and legs that only a supermodel would know what to do with. She’s our girl, here in both California, New Zealand and also Aussie and the UK.
