Of the big-budget movie, which will see a CGI monkey playing him, Robbie, who hasn’t released an album since 2022, said: “Big film companies are putting money into it and lots of big American film companies are putting money into the marketing – they’re talking about awards season.
“I think I am about to get lucky again but I don’t know if I’ll be winning an Oscar.”
We’re backing you all the way, Robbie.

Robbie Williams hints at shock career move during interview
He added on Elizabeth Day’s How To Fail podcast: “I was in the middle of a protracted breakdown and PTSD. Imagine having panic attacks 24 hours a day.
“I see it as probably the hardest point of my career.”
Will is back to his best now and is heading out on a 50-date UK tour in September, with tickets on sale tomorrow.
FILM director Taika Waititi has turned to Future to help him tease Belvedere Vodka’s luxury Belvedere 10 edition.
The rapper said: “There is no doubt Belvedere is one of the coolest alcohol brands in the world.”
Aitch’s one for the ladies
MY favourite rapper Aitch releases new track Famous Girl today – and if you’re a famous woman, you’re going to want to listen to see if he gives you a shout out.
Stars including Michelle Keegan, Katy Perry and Lizzo get name-checked in the song, which comes out at 7:30pm tonight.

Pop star Anne-Marie – who he collaborated with on her hit Psycho – also gets a nod from the Manchester-born star, along with Megan Thee Stallion, Dua Lipa and Kylie Minogue.
Aitch went on to make it clear he’s got his eyes on Raye, who he thinks is “sexy as s***.”
I can’t say I’m not jealous. I am jealous as hell. Aitch, I’ve got a mad crush on you.

We revealed yesterday how Dua was working on one of the most ambitious sets in Worthy Farm history.
She is heading into tough rehearsals in the coming days and won’t be distracted after handing control of her social media to her team.
Dua said of not having access to X: “It was a hindrance to my confidence, getting up on stage and thinking people didn’t like me or they hated the music . . . I work so hard, why should I not be able to enjoy it?”
Camila’s Cat tail
CAMILA CABELLO’s latest modelling job is out there.
The singer posed in swimming goggles and a weird plastic hat for one snap, then on all fours with a blonde tail which looks like it was borrowed from Doja Cat's outfit at Coachella.

IT’S CRAWL OVER NOW AS ANTS HIT STONES GIG
YOU might be one of the biggest bands on the planet, but You Cant Always Get What You Want.
Roadies working on the first night of the Rolling Stones’ Hackney Diamonds tour in the US say the NRG stadium in Houston, Texas, has had an invasion of critters.
One staffer, who shared a backstage catering document, revealed “rampant ants” were on the loose.
Another warning sign on handouts for the roadies warns them to “pay attention for ants” – which I have no doubt will get Sir Mick Jagger moving with more vigour than usual.
Alongside Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood, Mick will take to the stage for the first night on Sunday before playing 18 more dates across America, wrapping up the shows in California on July 17.
I’ll be putting on my best cowboy hat and boots on Saturday and will fly out to Houston to watch them in action, which you can read all about next week. I’ve packed some Raid . . . just in case.
Lily’s rapper fling hit a bum note
LILY ALLEN is like a brilliant broken tap – once you turn her on she just won’t stop.
The actress and singer has confessed to telling a hilarious porky to one of her conquests because she didn’t want to admit that she had cosmetic surgery.

She said: “I once got off with a rapper and we were in a hotel room. He was behind me.
“Well, I’d had lipo-suction in my early twenties on my bum and my thighs, and I have a couple of scars.
“He was behind me and remarked on the scars. He said, ‘What are those from?’
“I was too embarrassed to reveal that I had had liposuction, so I said I had a hip replacement – somehow thinking that was sexier than lipo.”

Her weird fib is the kind of thing I would blurt out, so I’m glad to see I’m not alone.
