Take That

Robbie Williams Bloody Loves Marijuana

by Matthew Laidlow

We’ll tell you what he loves what he really really loves. Oops, wrong band there, and completely the wrong gender. Saying that though, some of The Spice Girls looked like they could have been closet transsexuals didn’t they? Elsewhere, we had Take That – a watered down music act for girls to love. Instead of [...]

Take That Once Had A Mega-Exciting Wank-Time Fun Together

by Matthew Laidlow

That’s about it. There’s nothing that we can add to this story apart from involuntary shuddering.

Team hecklerspray likes to bond over a game of croquet and snifter of port, but not Take That. Take That like group wanking sessions. Or at least they did. Honestly.

Because Take That’s fans were all twelve when they split up, it probably wasn’t best letting that sort of sordid information cripple their ears. But we’re all grown up now so, yes, Take That did all used to masturbate furiously together. Happy now?

Badvertising: Marks & Spencer, Take That

by Stuart Heritage

Christmas is a time to spend with family and friends. Or, failing that, a rubbishy old boyband from the 1990s and a gaggle of neatly age-diverse supermodels. And if you could spend it in what’s basically the hotel from The Shining just to make it even more super-depressing, why that’d be just dandy too.

Apparently this is a desire that many of us share, which is why M&S has decided to ward off economic collapse by advertising Christmas using its normal collection of models in conjunction with Take That, who Happen To Have An Album Out. And what fun they all seem to be having – look, there’s Twiggy greeting the boys with a welcome note that looks like used to be used for holding children to ransom! Look, there’s Mark Owen trying to distract everyone from the fact he resembles Old Man Steptoe more and more with every passing day by cuddling a tinselly puppy!

Look, there’s the startlingly masculine model acting out Bernie Clifton: The Motion Picture during a game of charades! Look, there’s everyone getting progressively drunker and drunker until they inevitably end up in a disgusting swingers’ orgy where Lily Cole will have to end up with the tinselly dog because Robbie Williams isn’t in the band any more!

Look, M&S, you’ve gone about this all wrong. Christmas is about goodwill to all men. And what sort of goodwill do you think you’re promoting by waiting a full 77 seconds before letting Noemi Lenoir get her bra out? You utter sods.

Leona Lewis Wins Just About Zero Brit Awards

by Stuart Heritage

The Osbournes hosted the Brit awards last night, so the show promised to be jam-packed with enough controversy to turn your granny blue.

Is that what happened, though? No – thanks to the Brits’ stringent ‘don’t let Ozzy Osbourne say more than three words in a row’ policy, the only vaguely controversial thing the Osbournes brought to the Brit awards was the way that Sharon Osbourne’s face looked as if it had been attacked by jellyfish in her sleep.

Oh, and Leona Lewis didn’t win any of the four Brit awards she was nominated for. That’s sort of controversial, isn’t it? Anyone?

Take That Get A Bewildering Amount Of Brits Noms

by Stuart Heritage

Take That, the group of four 50-year-old men who get paid to sing the soundtrack to TV ads for low-rent supermarkets – have got a lot of Brit Award nominations.

In fact, all the acts that scooped the most Brit Award nominations are just sugar-free versions of older performers. The three biggest Brit nod-getters were Mika (Freddie Mercury lite), Leona Lewis (Whitney Houston lite) and Take That (Take That lite).

But don’t worry – the Brits also had something for you indie kids too. The Eagles are up for Best International Album. That’s The Eagles.

Hecklergigs: Take That, O2

by hecklerspray staff

Like most heterosexual males, seeing Take That in concert is not at the top of this writer’s life experiences, but last week that exactly thing happened when a girlfriend situation forced us to attend their latest concert on their Beautiful World tour.

We found ourselves surrounded by thousands of women, baying for the blood of the objects of their desires. The gig began with support coming from an unnamed woman, whose talent with a saxophone and vocals proved far superior than the other supporting act; Sophie Ellis Bextor (yes, she is still trying to give this singing lark a go) who was living off past glories for duration of her set, the only song garnering any kind of crowd reaction was the 2000 summer hit Groovejet, a collaboration with that household name DJ Spiller.

Robbie Williams Might Rejoin Take That: His Mum

by hecklerspray staff

After constantly denying any interest in rejoining his nemeses in Take That, it looks like Robbie Williams now may return to the group.

Robbie’s biggest fan is his mum, and she spoke to the illustrious Stoke Sentinel about Robbie’s Take That return. She’s probably a more reliable source of information than Robbie Williams, too, because we’ve always got the feeling he’d say he went down on a horse if it gave him an ounce of extra publicity.
