Singer Robbie Williams holds up a pair of his tiger motif underpants as worn in the 'Rock-DJ' video, after they were auctioned to raise money for Comic Relief at Sotheby's, London. He told people at the auction house that he was speechless to have raised so much money. * In total 138,900 was made for the singer's own Give It Sum charity which funds projects in his home town of Stoke on Trent, Great Ormond Street Hospital and UNICEF. 01/06/01: Williams has topped the charts again this time after being voted the sexiest man in the world. It is the third year running that the 27-year-old rock idol has pushed Brad Pitt into second place after the only previous polls all put the chart-topper at Number 1. Among the surprises in the poll, which surveyed more than 5,000 Company readers, were Channel 4's youth TV presenter, Dermot O'Leary, who makes his debut in the three-year-old poll at number four, behind actor Jude Law, and 10th-placed Tomorrow's World presenter Craig Doyle. 9/9/01: Robbie Williams used to try to have sex with people every evening in toilets after taking drugs, according to his own account published. He said he gave up drink and drugs on the tour and wanted to substitute it with something else, so he had sex.
