Alien Vs. Robbie Williams: Requiem
After a nearly decade of trying to get America to give a shit about him, British superstar Robbie Williams has started claiming his new ambition is hunting UFOs. While a step down from his plans to build a multi-million dollar observatory and start his own cult, he will get to explore his otherworldly interests in a radio documentary titled Journey To The Other Side. I want to believe.
BBC Radio 4 is to air a documentary about UFOs co-presented by the unlikely pairing of the pop star Robbie Williams and the documentary-maker Jon Ronson.
The pair have collaborated on Robbie Williams and Jon Ronson Journey to the Other Side, in which they visit a UFO conference in Laughlin, Nevada, for three days.
Radio 4 listeners will hear Williams and Ronson meet a doctor who claims to have 15 metallic objects that are “not earthly”.
They also encounter a British woman, Ann Andrews, who believes that her youngest son, Jason, is an “indigo child” – an infant abducted by extraterrestrials while in the womb and sent back to Earth to save the planet.
After seeing the intro to his ’06 “Close Encounters” tour, I actually kind of hope he gets his cult off the ground. This would make for a pretty entertaining superchurch.
Top that, Xenu!
