Charlie Sheen’s Friends Feared He Would Die

Charlie Sheen has been hanging out with some “bad people” over the last few months — and some people who were trying to save him felt he might die … this according to multiple sources connected to the actor.

Our sources say Sheen — who is currently hospitalized after a drinking binge that ended with Charlie allegedly trashing his NYC hotel room — has been having renewed substance abuse problems since August, shortly after he entered his guilty plea in the Aspen domestic violence case.

We’re told several people came into Charlie’s life soon after the court case ended that took him “in a bad direction.” We’re told when Charlie was at the Playboy mansion in August, he was already drinking again.

One source who has been working with Charlie recently says he’s been “a tortured soul for months” and his friends openly talked about how they feared for his life. Another source very close to Charlie echoed the fear that Charlie’s most recent downturn could end tragically.

Robbie Williams uses sex to keep himself trim.

The 36-year-old singer – who has famously battled with his weight throughout his career – insists his new toned physique is all down to bedroom antics with fiancee .

When questioned about his new buff body, Robbie said: “You’re talking abut sex now. Yes we do it, we do it, we really do it!”

However, it isn’t just sex that keeps him slim – the ‘Bodies’ singer also finds the time to run every day – and has used his celebrity-filled Soccer Aid charity event, which takes place on Sunday (06.06.10) as a target for getting fitter.

He told the Daily Star newspaper: “I’ve been running six or seven miles a day, playing a couple of 90 minute games a week, so I am knackered.

“I don’t think I’ve lost weight but I have toned up. It’s been a good process and it’s been great to have something to aim for.”

Robbie isn’t the only celebrity who uses to sex to look good – ‘Shrek Forever After’ star Cameron Diaz also credits it as keeping her youthful.

The 37-year-old beauty said: “I don’t want to look 25 again. The fountain of youth for me, let’s see. I guess it’s exercise, healthy diet, lots of water, lots of laughter, lots of sex – yes, sex, we need that as human beings. It’s healthy, it’s natural, it’s what we are here to do!“

The 35-year-old singer admits he and girlfriend Ayda Field have discussed starting a family and expect it to happen in the near future as they are ready to settle down.

He said: “That’s definitely on the agenda – little monkeys running around. It’s about time. I’ve had a good innings.”

Despite proposing to 30-year-old Ayda live on Australian radio last month, Robbie insists it was just a joke and he and the actress have no plans to marry.

He told Closer magazine: “I’ve been going out with her for nearly three years and solidly for a year and a half. But I want us to play around and have more fun and not be grown-ups yet.”

The ‘Bodies’ star is content with his relationship with Ayda and believes they would still be together even if he wasn’t famous.

He added: “She digs me and I dig her, she knows who I am and I know who she is.

“I trust her 100 per cent and there isn’t even a glimmer of worry of her only liking me for all this singing thing.

“I’m a pretty cool guy without all of that anyway!”

When asked the secret to their long relationship, Robbie says it is “the little things like cuddles and tickles” and insists they never fight.

He said: “We never fall out, we just get on and make each other laugh. We’re a good team.”

The ‘Bodies’ singer – who is dating actress Ayda Field – has revealed his mother Janet is so desperate for him to settle down and start a family, she told people he was already engaged to try and hurry him along.

He said: “I’m probably going to get married but I didn’t get engaged on the radio the other week. It was just part of the interview. Then my mum went, ‘Oh yes, oh yes. I’ve bought the hat, I’ve bought a card.’ She just wants grandkids. She just wants to speed up the process.”

Last month, Robbie jokingly proposed to his lover of three-years during a live interview with an Australian radio station.

He said to Ayda: “Will you marry me, baby? Ayda Field, I love you so much, would you mind being my betrothed until the end of time?”

The 30-year-old beauty replied: “Yes, I’ll marry you.”

The next day, Janet claimed the engagement was real and admitted she was “excited” about seeing her son getting wed.

She said: “It’s a lovely match. She’s a lovely girl.

“We don’t always have to have the ring, but there is one. I’m very excited.”

The ‘Bodies’ singer – who released new album ‘Reality Killed the Video Star’ in November – wants to hit the road in Britain in the next two years.

He said: “I will be going on tour. That will be happening. When, where, I don’t know. But it will be happening. Definitely before 2012.”

The 35-year-old star – who rose to fame aged 16 when he joined boy band Take That – also hinted again he is to rejoin his former bandmates, Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald, for a new project.

He said: “Am I going to rejoin Take That? I don’t know what’s happening. Something is in the offing. We have been spending a lot of time together. I’m a big fan of them and the band.

“I want to be involved someway, somehow. But I don’t know how that’s going to work.”

The ‘Bodies’ singer arrived in Sydney this week with girlfriend Ayda Field to promote his new album, ‘Reality Killed the Video Star’, and will also use the trip as an opportunity to find a property in the Australian Outback.

One of Robbie’s team has already been to visit the Holiday Park, in Wycliffe Well, which has more reported UFO sightings than any other place in Australia.

Lew Farkas, the owner of the Holiday Park, told the Courier News newspaper: “A mate of his came and stayed here and was telling me how Robbie was right into UFOs and was a real buff on the subject. He said he would let him know about Wycliffe Well and the UFO element.

“Being the UFO buff that he is, it would fit in with his way of thinking. Maybe it could be a joint venture. He might want to invest in it and I could look after it.”

Wycliffe Well is ranked 5th in the world for reported UFO sightings which date as far back as World War II when serving armed forces recorded strange things in the sky.

Robbie – who became interested in aliens while living in Los Angeles – recently revealed he had a premonition he would eventually live Down Under.

He said: “I’m thinking of coming down there. I have been looking for places out in the Outback, maybe a farm.

Robbie, 35, claims he has had had three alien encounters in his lifetime.

He says the first was when he saw a “square thing” passed 300 feet above his head while he relaxed on a sun lounger at the Beverley Hills hotel in California. The second was while he was playing a song he wrote about alien contact called ‘Arizona’.

Robbie who also says while he was in a recording studio a “big strip of black light” miraculously appeared in the room.

The ‘Bodies’ singer was on the Kyle and Jackie O breakfast show on Sydney’s 2DayFM to promote his new album ‘Reality Killed the Video Star’ and decided it was time to pop the question.

Ayda, 30, was in the studio with him when Jackie asked Robbie if there was any news he wanted to share.

The British singer turned to Ayda and said: “Is there anyone you want to get married to? Will you marry me?”

Ayda – who has been dating the ‘Angels’ singer for the past two years – said ‘yes’, although Robbie hadn’t prepared for the proposal and had to slip Jackie’s ring onto her finger.

A spokesperson for Robbie is yet to confirm whether the engagement is genuine.

During the interview, Robbie also revealed he misses being in Take That.

He said: “I’ve always wanted to be in a band ever since I left Take That and looking at the love they’ve all got for each other, I fancy a bit of that myself.”

The ‘Empire State of Mind’ rapper has been signed up to star at the 2010 ceremony where he will perform a medley of his biggest hits and a duet with a surprise artist – believed to be his wife Beyonce Knowles, Alicia Keys or Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.

A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Jay-Z is confirmed as one of the key performers. In weak years there have been problems securing the big international artists. But knowing Jay-Z was there will help to secure other big acts.”

It has already been revealed ‘Bodies’ star Robbie Williams will close the awards show after being receiving Outstanding Contribution To Music prize, for his work with Take That and as a solo star.

Robbie has already won more BRITs than any other artist and will be presented his 16th honour at the event which takes place at London’s Earls Court Exhibition Centre on February 16 2010.

British comedian Peter Kay has also been signed up to host the ceremony.

The ‘Bodies’ singer cried as he was reunited with his former bandmates – Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen – onstage last night (12.11.08) for the first time in 15 years and revealed plans are in place for them to enter the studio together.

He said to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “The ball is rolling for a Take That album with me. I was tearing up when I was onstage with the lads.”

Robbie joined the group and a host of other stars including Lily Allen to sing Beatles classic ‘Hey Jude’ – led by the song’s original singer, Sir Paul McCartney at London’s Royal Albert hall for the charity concert.

Gary – who organised the concert in aid of Children In Need – performed arm-in-arm with Robbie, and said he felt like the old line-up was back together again.

Speaking afterwards, he said: “He was the last one I was hoping to get here. He was the icing on the cake of the whole thing for me.

“When we were all stood in a line we didn’t want to leave … it felt great having him back. It feels like he’s back, it does.”

Robbie also admitted he wished they could have stayed onstage for longer and sung one of Take That’s old hits.

He said: “We should have milked it for a lot longer. I was trying to call them back and do a bow. It’s the first time in 15 years we were together, we should have at least stayed for 15 minutes.

“While they were singing I wanted to grab a mic and start singing too. It would have to have been ‘Back For Good’.”

Take That opened the show before opening the stage up for their former bandmate.

After performing their hit ‘Greatest Day’, Gary then said: “What a perfect night for us to introduce an old friend.”

However, fans hoping for a full reunion were left disappointed when the group departed the stage, leaving Robbie alone to sing two tracks from his new album ‘Reality Killed The Video Star’.

Other performers at the event included Snow Patrol and Cheryl Cole, Leona Lewis, Annie Lennox and Dizzee Rascal.

The British singer – who dons a bunny costume for the promotional video for his new single ‘You Know Me’ -  claims lover Ayda Field insisted he kept the outfit and even bought a matching one for herself to wear in their home.

He confessed: “I’ve kept the rabbit costume, and she’s got a girl’s rabbit costume.”

Ayda loves dressing up so much, she has even bought ballet dancer outfits for their pet dogs and plans to show them off in the coming months.

Robbie added: “We just had all the dogs fitted with tutus. It’s not me, it’s her but I’ve been dragged along and have no say in the matter. I think we’ll do a Christmas Card or something. Don’t pretend it’s normal, it’s mental. I had nothing to do with it!”

The ‘Bodies’ hitmaker dotes on his pet pooches and even dedicated a song he was performing to his puppy Poopette, admitting he often sings to the hound at home.

Explaining why he was doing a version of The Killers’ hit ‘Human’, he told BBC Radio 1 DJ Fearne Cotton: “It’s my favourite song of this year. It’s a song that I actually sing to our little Maltipoo, Poopette, while she’s in my arms and I give her a nice little tickle.

“I change some of the lyrics to a dog style, I’m going to do that today as an ode to Poopette. If she can put her little doggy ear to a speaker I’ll sing the first chorus to her.”

Robbie then went on to perform the track, changing the chorus line to:  “You’re on your back being tickled by a dancer, daddy don’t suffer with pet dander.”

The ‘Bodies’ hitmaker – who left the group in 1995 following a rift with his bandmates – has reportedly agreed to perform with Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen for the first time in 15 years for British charity Children In Need.

Former Beatles star Sir Paul McCartney is also believed to be joining the band on stage at London’s Royal Albert Hall, though the supergroup are still discussing what to sing.

A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “The reunion is go. Robbie is utterly thrilled about it. He’s been dreaming of performing with Take That again for years and now it’s going to happen.

“Gary is looking forward to singing with Rob again, but landing Paul McCartney is without doubt his biggest coup. They haven’t decided what they are going to sing together, but something will take shape in rehearsals.”

Other performers at the charity event include Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole, ‘Bleeding Love’ hitmaker Leona Lewis and ‘Bonkers’ rapper Dizzee Rascal.

Robbie – who has previously battled alcohol and drug addictions – walked out on the band in 1995 and famously refused to speak to bandmate Gary for 10 years.

But in 2005 the pair made contact and have since been writing together.

Meanwhile, Take That bandmate Mark got his sister to sing at his wedding.

The pintsized star asked Tracy to perform with a choir when he tied the knot last weekend to Emma Ferguson, and she wowed the congregation with a rendition of Judy Collins’ version of Amazing Grace

A source at the service said of Tracy’s performance: “She was amazing. Singing definitely runs in the family.”

The ‘Rock DJ’ singer – who is currently trying to make his way back to the top of the pop charts after a three year break from music – made just £269,000 last year, down from £1 million in 2007 and a massive drop from the staggering £32 million he generated from record sales, concerts and merchandising in 2006.

Robbie’s spokesperson said they had “no comment to make” on the figures, which are revealed in accounts for his firm The In Good Company Co Ltd.

While Robbie’s income has fallen, it hasn’t curbed the generous streak in the 35-year-old former Take That star.

The ‘Bodies’ singer reportedly put his lavish UK home – which he bought for £8 million earlier this year – up for sale when he and girlfriend Ayda Field moved back to Los Angeles in order to pay off the actress’ mother Gwen’s debts.

A friend previously said: “Debtors are literally on Gwen’s doorstep. Her house has been threatened with foreclosure. She doesn’t work and has relied on money from her divorce and from family to fund her lifestyle.

“But things have been getting tricky recently and she’s worried about the future. Robbie has already been extremely generous.”

The ‘Bodies’ hitmaker – who left the group in 1995 and embarked on a successful solo career – has revealed he has been meeting up with former bandmates Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen to work on a secret project.

When asked if he’ll be performing with the foursome again, he said: “We’ve got together, done bits and bobs. I can’t say much, but yes, I hope so.”

The 35-year-old singer – who has previously battled alcohol and drug addictions – also spoke candidly about how he was forced to stop performing in 2007 when his personal problems began to spiral out of control.

In an episode of TV talk show ‘Friday Night With Jonathan Ross’ due to air in the UK on Friday (06.11.09), he said: “The decision to quit playing live was made for me, I’ve always been very nervous… 80,000 people, it’s an unnatural thing to do. You don’t know what’s going on in my head.

“It’s traumatic, really scary. I ended up in rehab again, it was ‘What are you doing to yourself?’ I thought it’s time to break the cycle.”

Robbie is now determined to remain sober for his girlfriend of three years, Ayda Field, so they can start a family together.

He added: “I’ve taken the pressure off myself, it’s a part-time thing these days. The missus keeps me grounded. There’s no need to take myself out of my mind any more.

“I thought I was going to be a bachelor but I was introduced to Ayda and things just changed. She’s a wonderful person and I’m in love. She’s really broody and I’m getting there.”

Robbie sparked speculation he was working with the group again after they were all spotted at New York’s Electric Lady Studio while the band were in America for Mark’s bachelor party.
