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.

We can name at least one demographic that Robbie will be popular with after this movie is released.
