Jen Tile: Straight out of Norwood

Hello folks,

Amidst all the hoopla of the Oscars I stumbled across a rather interesting story involving the hunky Robbie Williams (sorry Danny K – you’re still my favourite but Mr. Williams is a bit of a dish).

It appears that the UK’s biggest export since the English language (which ironically, many people in the UK don’t have a great command of) had a few issues with his weight last year. How does a singer who regularly plays soccer and gives one of the most energy filled stage shows pick up the pounds?

According to a recent interview, the answer to that question is cannabis. Robbie told a reporter that he liked to smoke it up and afterwards gorge himself on food. I had a good chuckle because it is only a rock star who could give such an answer.

Imagine telling your personal trainer at the gym, “Gee, the week long booze bender didn’t do much for my waistline”. Or how about telling your hubby, “It’s not these pants that make me look fat – it’s the weed”?

Nobody seemed too shocked when Robbie Williams admitted that his waistline fluctuated more than stock-market shares because of unsavoury lifestyle choices. But I am willing to bet if you or I looked like the “Before” picture in those annoying weight-loss product infomercials, and admitted that it was due to intoxicants, we might find ourselves in trouble with everyone from our partners, our families, our friends, our doctors, our employers and the law to the guy who sells a lifetime supply of coat hangers at the intersection.

This is possibly the REAL reason people want to become famous. It has nothing to do with money, it’s about being able to make a total moron of yourself and still find that millions adore you. Look at Tom Cruise.
