Rob's Vienna Whirl -thanks to Jackie
Williams pulls Austrian beauty with football fib.
ONE minute he's completely off women and the next minute he wants a wife.
Now, it seems, Robbie Williams is road-testing candidates for the position.
And first up is 35-year-old Austrian Eveline Savara.
Robbie - who is currently touring Europe - wooed the former underwear model earlier this month in Vienna's Hotel Triest.
Eveline, dressed casually in a track suit, was having a drink at the bar with her sister when the 29-year-old singer worked his famous Casanova charm.
At the time, Eveline, who has a 12-year-old daughter, wasn't a fan... but she sure is hooked now.
She says: "He came up, tapped me on the shoulder and said, 'Hi, I'm Robbie.' I told him I hadn't had a very good day. He said he often had those kinds of days but still wanted to talk to me."
Talk? Yeah, right.
The cheeky Robster then persuaded her to go up to his room in order to get better acquainted.
She admits: "He gave me a look that went right through me. Then he told me his room number and invited me to come up."
But instead of relying on his fame to seal the deal, Robbie pretended he managed a football team.
Eveline decided the offer was there for the taking and rushed up to his boudoir where the pair remained for three hours.
"There was no security around," she claims. "And when I knocked on the door I was simply told to come in and make myself at home by a member of Robbie's staff. He was working on his laptop.
"It was all so normal. Robbie then told me he managed a Scottish football team."
After winning her over by declaring he is desperate to find the right woman and fall madly in love, Stoke-born Robbie made his move.
"He asked if he could kiss me," Eveline told Austria News magazine. "That's never happened to me before - he was a real gentleman.
"Then we had a really long kiss. It was really beautiful, with so much feeling. It really moved me."
Oh please.
Eveline insists she didn't make the beast with two backs but she did let slip she had seen his new tattoo - two swallows near his groin.
Insert your own gag here!
According to Eveline, Robbie asked her to meet him the following night but when she tried she couldn't get passed his security.
However, the gallant chap did ring her a few days later but she claims she blew him out because she didn't want to be just another notch on his bedpost.
"He's really knocked me for six," she says. "He's just so endearing."
Endearing? If you say so, love...
After watching his flatmate Jonathan Wilkes in The Rocky Horror Show in London a few weeks ago, he picked out a brunette in a sleek black flowery dress, marched up to her and asked: "Did you chose your eye shadow to match the flowery pattern? It looks so pretty."

Review from Austria gig -thanks to Elisabeth from www.robbiewilliams.net.tf
First I want to tell you that this day was the best day in my life! It was my first Robbie concert, and I'll never forget it!
I was standing in the 1st row and had a great view. At about nine o'clock, suddenly Robbie was floating from the top of the stage...it really looked amazing!
He of course started with Let me entertain you, a great bouncing session
I think I don't have to tell you a lot about the show, it was pure entertainment!
Before singing 'she's the one', he asked a young couple: 'Are you married?', he said 'no', she said 'yes'...Robbie: 'There's something you don't konow!!' Then he told them to kiss, and they of course did *g*. After 'Feel' he nearly started to cry, but he did hold it back this time. Then he sang the chorus again with us...really beautiful....Then he went off stage, but he said he'd come back...while he was backstage, everbody screamed 'Robbie! Robbie!' really loudly.
When he came back, he was wearing a red t-shirt and a skirt (very sweet)!
And after 'Angels' he begann to cry!! It was really sweet...Then he started to sing the chorus of Angels a capella again...much more beautiful *g*...After it he said: 'My work is done for today' and left. At the beginnig of the gig, he said his last concert in Vienna 2 years ago, was the best gig he ever had...and after this one he said, that this gig was much more better then the last time! He was really brilliant!
