The rumours of Robbie attending the Cannes Film Festival and concert are getting stronger by the day.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was just told c/o a very good conncetion link to EMI France that it is 99 % for sure that Rob will be in Cannes on May 22nd for the Cannes Film Festival and the De-lovely premiere and of course aftershow concert.
I hope that some TV stations here in Europe will show him at the premiere and the concert!!!!!
thanks to Nesti at the robbiewilliamssite.com
Fine then. I'll pack my bag ;)
Sorry for being thick, but when is the Cannes festival?
The premiere of De-Lovely and his performance are on the 22 May. But it makes no sense to travel to Cannes. It will be a one-day-trip for him, means arriving and departing the same day.
That idea didn't even pop into my head, but seeing it's the 22nd Jonathan could join him ;)
Why am I not loaded??

Karin, didn´t mean you specifically, but people in general. Should have expressed myself a bit more clearly, sorry (@)

I didn't take any offence though, don't worry!
oh for that lottery win!
I wonder how big the lottery win it would have to be to get Robbie to perform in my front room (or possibly some other room in my flat.)
I guess a performance in your bedroom would come for free .... oooopss.... sorry... couldn't resist. :D :D

lol
Even if I had the money to got to Cannes it wouldn't be worth the effort probably... Hopefully we'll get to see him on telly or something!

That's just what I wanted to say! :D
I guess"Performance"is the right word for Rob...... ;)
No, it wouldn't pay off to go there. He probably won't be seen much anyway. I'll be happy if I see him in a few news reports.
I just want a day off work and a holiday

4 more weeks Joanne, you'll be fine!
If I was very rich I would probably fly into Cannes for the day, as it wouldn't really matter then if I'd get to see him or not. Just the whole circus alone would be fun to watch.
Yeah sigh, if I was rich, I'd go to many places including Cannes. Wouldn't we all? ;)
You don't need to be rich to go to places, you just need to work for an airline ;) #)
Yeah, just go on and tease BB. !@#$
do I gather thats what you do Sandra?
Yup, that's what I do. :D
And NO, I'm NOT a flight attendant.
So then are you gonna be in Cannes to welcome Mr. Williams :? ;)
Uhm, no, I don't really like France, and I think Mr Williams can live without me there... ;)
I have just found this - thanks to robbiewilliamslive.
2 confirms Cannes
published by Sébastien, Thursday May 6th, 2004
The French radio station, RTL 2, is making a contest next week : you can win a special Cannes package...
Next week (beginning Monday 10th may), French people can win a great package : a travel to Cannes, with transport by plane, hotel, places for "De-Lovely" on the big screen, and a private gig with many artists... One of them is called Robbie Williams !
~0 What do you think is he going to be there ~0
A private gig??? What the ****??? ~0
Yeah, well isn't that where he's 'supposed to' duet with Alanis Morissette? Some of the artists in the film singing the songs from the soundtrack.
maybe its why he's had his hair cut.. in preparation for being seen out in public!

Guess he has to look decent. ;) :D
and from those pics that were printed last weekend from Matt Lucas' party.. looking decent indeed!!
Decent enough for me! :D
yeh he'll do... he scrubs up well doesnt he?? ;)
The chance to see him at the festival is very small as long as you don't have a invitation yourself. Security and press will be all around and even at the red carpet you hardly get to see who's coming.
Here is the listing for the Cannes timetable - if I lived in France I would defo go - just to show our love and appreciation of Robbie, it might upset a few of the Hollywood set :D and I am all for doing that. I am afraid it is a bit long, but special notice to be taken for the 22nd May everyone.
Some confirmation on Cannes:
PARIS -- After heavy criticism of last year's event, the Cannes Film Festival is pulling out all the stops to revamp its closing weekend.
Organizers said Monday that jury topper Quentin Tarantino will announce the Palme d'Or and other prize winners a day earlier than in previous years, at a ceremony on Saturday, May 22.
The evening will continue with a world premiere screening of an as-yet-unannounced film, followed by a fireworks display and an awards night party.
Festgoers who would rather watch movies than party can go to screenings of all the prize-winning films.
Sunday night will be devoted to the Palme d'Or, with a gala screening of the winning film. To lend more pomp to the occasion, the fest jury will greet the film crew at the top of the red carpet.
All of the officially selected films will also be rescreened during the day.
"We realized that by holding the prize-giving on a Sunday night, when people were packing their bags and getting ready to leave, we were not making the most of the occasion," a Cannes spokesman said. "The prize-giving on Saturday night will be a real celebration, a big party in honor of the prize winners."
Organizers also hope the change of date will boost media coverage. When the winners were announced on a Sunday, the fest missed out on coverage in the Sunday papers.
"That wasn't our reason for bringing forward the prize-giving, but if a Saturday night is more convenient for the media, so much the better," said the spokesman.
Fest runs May 12-23.

Tess you know the press so well!!! or perhaps you know Robbie so well ;)

Robbie: Cannes I be in a movie?
ROBBIE WILLIAMS is determined to show he’s a class act – and is jetting to the Cannes film festival to prove it.
The pop superstar plans to fly to the South of France next week to meet as many Hollywood moguls as possible.
Pals say the buzz of his cameo appearance as a singer in new film musical De-Lovely has given him cravings to be a movie star.
Officially, he is in Cannes to promote the film.
But aides say he will be talking to the biggest names in the business in a bid to secure meaty acting roles.
He will belt out a song on the beach with ALANIS MORISSETTE and then mingle with such influential figures as Troy director WOLFGANG PETERSEN.
A pal of Robbie’s said last night: “He would love a stab at acting in a film. He’s a very intelligent and witty person and he would be brilliant in front of the camera. He’s confident this could lead to other things.”
Robbie’s in England at the moment writing new songs.
But the source added: “He was asked to fly out and do some work for the movie he appears briefly in.
“He loves singing and has achieved more than he could ever dream of as a performer but he also wants to try his hand at different things.
“Cannes is a good chance to shake the right hands.”
Robbie shot the scene for De-Lovely a year ago in an English country mansion.
The movie is based on a Hollywood production about the life and loves of controversial songwriter Cole Porter.
He plays a Thirties crooner who sings one of Porter’s classics, It’s De-Lovely.
He earned the role by covering another Porter hit, Well Did You Evah?, on his 2001 album Swing When You’re Winning.
The movie’s director, IRWIN WINKLER, says: “With some of the most spectacular music ever written, we’ll be able to introduce Cole Porter to a whole new generation.”
Let’s just hope Robbie’s bid for glory on the silver screen goes swingingly.
Ok you beat me to it! :D
the mysterious friends are talking again!
Robbie: Cannes I be in a movie?
What a pun! %)
Nooo, LOL, Tess, that is so funny. You're either psychic, or you're secretly working for the SUN ;)
LOL, this is funny. We could have imagined the Sun would jump on this story. How many times has he got to say he doesn't want to act (at least not for now) lol? %)
well they have to write something about him as he doesnt do anything dodgy enough for them to comment on at the minute
from Ananova:
Robbie off to Cannes in movie search
Robbie Williams is off to Cannes in an effort to meet as many Hollywood film bosses as possible.
The Sun says friends have claimed the buzz of his cameo appearance as a singer in new film musical De-Lovely has given him cravings to be a film star.
The paper says he's officially in Cannes to promote the film, but aides say he'll be talking to the biggest names in the business in a bid to secure acting roles.

I feel like saying this about all the crap written in the tabloids:
Bla bla bla bla bla bla.... :D
German/French TV channel ARTE has reports about Cannes every night at 8.15 until the 22nd.
I'm not sure Rob will be there before the 22nd though... ?
I should imagine BB that he will go before the concert - he has to meet all those top bods ;) I should imagine as well that he would have to do some rehearsals for the duet, I wonder if he is singing more than one song?
A clean cut Robbie usually mean he's ready to work! :D
I have to start watching Arte one of these days...
