ROBBIE WILLIAMS WANTS TO PLAY VILLAGE PEOPLE STAR RANDY JONES IN MOVIE

Village People Icon Randy Jones

WONDERING what Robbie Williams might look like in cowboy drag? That fantasy might come true if reports of his desire to lens a film about the Village People are on the mark. According to England's Daily Star, the British superstar has offered 950,000 [pounds sterling] for the movie rights to the tale of the legendary disco act. Word has it that Williams has his heart set on donning the chaps and cowboy hat originally worn by the VP's original cowboy, Randy Jones. Unconfirmed reports have Williams, even from rehab, continuing to put out feelers attempting to secure the rights. American Music Award winner Jones, who is currently on tour promoting his new solo CD, "Ticket to the World" and celebrating the 30th anniversary of Village People. WWW.TimesSquareGossip.com called Randy Jones at home and he told us: " I personally think Robbie is hands-down, one of the sexiest and most talented entertainers on the planet today,. I'm confident that my cowboy character from Village People will be in good hands with Robbie. For my money, I couldn't possibly come up with a more bodacious bum to fill my jeans and portray me on the big screen. I would even be willing to donate my moustache,..if he needs it! And I'm sending him lots of good wishes while he's doing time in rehab." Some may think this is a smart move. But one thing's for sure; if Robbie wanted to get in America's face and hit the market with a bang, he will surely pull that off through this, to say the least. And although Williams admits that, "Some of the Village People were gay, some of them weren't," he feels that their story needs to be told nonetheless. We can name at least one demographic that Robbie will be popular with after this movie is released.
