Robbie Williams bids to end planning feud with Led Zeppelin star neighbour Jimmy Page
ROBBIE WILLIAMS is showering warring neighbour Jimmy Page with a Whole Lotta Love in a desperate bid to end their five-year property feud.
I can reveal Robbie has written a heartfelt note to the Led Zeppelin legend — and offered to team up on a song after the pair were ordered to clear the air by their local council.
The singer dropped the letter through Jimmy’s door offering to talk about their bitter property dispute — and the guitarist is happy to meet up.
A source said: “Robbie accepts this had gone on too long so decided to offer an olive branch.
“He does not want to be in a dispute with an elderly rock legend.
“His wife Ayda thought it was a good idea to write the note.
“He’s invited Jimmy and his partner Scarlett Sabet over to discuss it. Robbie kept it upbeat and friendly and even mentioned doing a song together.”
If the talks prevail, it will close a fraught chapter for the pair.
They have been rowing over Robbie’s plans to build an underground gym and pool at his £17.5million 46-room mansion next door to Jimmy’s in Holland Park, west London. The source added: “Robbie can be a wind-up merchant, but he is taking this seriously and wants to get it sorted.
ROBBIE AND JIMMY'S TOP 5 POSSIBLE DUETS
Robbie kept his letter to Jimmy upbeat and friendly and even mentioned doing a song together.” Here are few suggestions we have for the pair...
1. Led Me Entertain You
2. Dazed And Confeud
3. Ruck DJ
4. Houses Of The Unholy
5. Immirant Song
“Jimmy can be set in his ways and feels Robbie should have more respect for him, which he seems to be showing.”
Robbie submitted his plans in 2014 and Kensington and Chelsea Council finally approved them last December.
Last month it was reported Robbie had “rebuffed” Jimmy’s attempts to meet up for a cup of tea to discuss the issues.
During the row, Robbie accused Jimmy of being “obsessed” with him and suffering from a “mental illness”, comments he apologised for.
Jimmy accused Robbie of playing loud music by Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and Deep Purple to annoy him — and of dressing in a blond wig.
Robbie can rule out any covers of those if they do eventually team up.

Hailey tells familiar tail
IF a remake of Eighties film Splash was ever on the cards, Hailey Baldwin would be up for the lead role.
The model, right, whose wide-legged trousers made her look like a mermaid – just as Daryl Hannah played in the movie – was shooting a new campaign on the beach for surfwear brand Roxy.
Meanwhile, her singer husband Justin Bieber was also stripping off on the sand.
But with so many inkings, I’m not so sure the hitmaker could make waves as the new Tom Hanks.
BRAVO, OHH, YESSS, JACK!
IT looks like Paris Hilton’s going to have to stick to getting her thrills from her lavish lifestyle.
The billionaire’s new love interest Jack Whitehall has admitted he’s rubbish in the bedroom, claiming he’s “too British” to have good sex.
During his routine at a low-key comedy club in LA, Jack said: “I’m too British to have sex – that’s what I’ve decided, seriously.
“Sex with me is like arriving late at the theatre and trying to find your seat.
“There’s a lot of shuffling, a bit of shushing, a pause and then, from somewhere in the darkness, just a whispered, ‘I’m sorry.’
“This voice is not a good voice to hear in the throes of passion. I said the most British thing that’s ever been said in the bedroom the other day – this was f***ing awful. I said, ‘Bravo!’
“I laughed to myself. Too awkward.”
His confession comes after The Sun revealed that he had moved on from Kate Beckinsale with Paris. He flew to California for the US socialite’s belated 38th birthday party at her Beverly Hills mansion, after they got to know each other in the past few weeks.
Brits host Jack was later overheard backstage at his gig admitting he didn’t dare address his romance with Hollywood actress Kate during his show – lest his jokes weren’t as good as those of her new boyfriend, comedian Pete Davidson. Well played.
Liam getting really pally with Harry
IF Liam Gallagher wanted to give his brother Noel some fresh ammunition, Liam’s latest bromance should fire him up.
He has forged a bond with Noel’s musical nemesis Harry Styles after working with the One Direction singer’s producers on his debut solo album As You Were.
The unlikely pals spent Monday night boozing at The Spaniards Inn in Hampstead, North London, but refused to pose for photos – with Liam wanting to keep the friendship under the radar to avoid an obvious ribbing from his bro.
A source said: “Unlike Noel, Liam has respect for Harry as a decent artist and likes his music.
“They met at the pub and were both on great form signing autographs for fans but didn’t allow any photos. Harry’s really quite mature for his age and what you see is what you get. Liam likes that sort of attitude.
“There was no chatting shop or any talk of collaboration but who knows what could happen in the future?” Last year Liam went as far as to praise Harry’s tunes, saying: “I can spot a fake a mile off and Harry Styles seems like he wants to bring real music and change his direction.”
Polar-opposite Noel had very different feelings, previously claiming his cat could write better tunes than Harry.
He’ll no doubt be sharpening his claws now.
Adele’s on the Jen and tonics
ADELE is getting in some practice for when she organises best pal Jennifer Lawrence’s hen-do.
Just a month after I revealed she had been entrusted with the role, she and J Law were seen getting sloshed with drag queens at New York gay bar Pieces.
Footage shows Jennifer establishing herself as the superior boozer as the competitive pair played drinking games, necked shots and accepted forfeits.
Adele is called up on stage and introduces herself as a stay-at-home mum – then is later seen tripping up.
Referencing her engagement to art gallery director Cooke Maroney, Jen is filmed declaring that being a bride-to-be has “nothing to do with her drinking abilities” as she throws her hands in the air and shouts in Adele’s face: “You lose!”
Adele shouts back: “You’re f***ing engaged, you’re not even relevant to be here”.
I also told how the pals have discussed Adele officiating at Jen’s wedding after she got ordained to wed pal Alan Carr and Paul Drayton last year.
She might want to avoid the tequila shots on J Law’s big day.
I’ve always been able to cry. I’ve heard that that’s hard – some have onions. But if I have to cry in a scene it’s got to be deserved
Ricky Gervais on turning on the waterworks in his Netflix phenomenon After Life
CAN LIAM BEAR TO GO? ER... YES
LIAM PAYNE doesn’t seem one for birthdays – he missed son Bear’s special day for the second year.
The One Direction singer – who split with Cheryl Tweedy months after their boy turned one – instead spent his Friday engrossed with his phone at Heathrow. He was heading to Dubai to perform alongside Little Mix and Rita Ora at the Global Teacher Prize Assembly concert last night.
Last year, he spent his son’s birthday performing in Japan. Let’s hope it’s third time lucky for Bear.
Miley sheds tears
MILEY CYRUS shows what she thinks of her critics by pretending to chuck her drink on them and calling it “holy water”.
Posting on Instagram, the singer also snapped herself tipping a glass over her chest – joking that it contained Drake’s tear.
The picture made fans wonder if the pair are collaborating on new music.
Let’s just hope the rapper isn’t picking up the drinks bill.
