Rompin' Robbie takes revenge on moaners -Daily Star
Robbie Williams was nearly thrown out of a top hotel - for making too much noise romping with a girl in his room. Staff at the five-star Westin Palace Hotel in Madrid had to call his suite TEN times, to order him to keep the noise down. But the hot-blooded singer got his revenge, by asking thousands of fans at a live concert to phone the hotel manager to complain on his behalf. The star branded the hotel as "the worst in the world" during his Madrid concert - and displayed the hotel phone number on a large electronic screen on stage. Robbie told his fans: "I'm very sad tonight because last night I stayed in the worst hotel in the world. Thet treated me very badly. Thet phoned me up 10 times to complain about the noise." Then he joked: "She just wouldn't shut up!" One woman in the auditorium phoned the hotel on her mobile and haded it the former Take That star. Robbie then told fans: "I've told them we're going to have a big party there tonight. I want to see all of you down there later on." Later he again urged them to phone and displayed the word "s**t" in Spanish on his screen. Management at the hotel refused to comment on Robbie's allegations, but a doorman denied the singer had been having "noisy sex" in his room. He said the noise was actually "very loud music" and staff had called to ask if he would "turn it down a little". It is thought Robbie was staying in the hotel's exclusive Royal Suite. The room, which costs 2,500 euros per night, is described as a "miniature kingdom" with a sauna, pop-up TV, Bang & Olufsen hi-fi and butler service. After the show, Robbie arrived at the hotel in a pin-stripe suit and was greeted by four police officers who were posted on the door to stop trouble. But only a handful of concertgoers showed up - and star-struck fans were too busy drinking in the hotel bar to make a fuss. They sat alongside Real Madrid and Portugal star Luis Figo, who was staying at the hotel with his wife and four friends. Robbie told Figo he had earlier gone to see him play alongside David Beckham and Ronaldo for Real Madrid in the Champions League, but had to leave before half-time to make sure he made it to his own concert.
