The first prospective buyer who came to look at the house where Michael Jackson died was singer Robbie Williams ... and who knew he was so loaded?

Our spies saw Robbie roll up to the house Thursday afternoon in his Range Rover.

The house was just listed -- again -- this time the asking price is $23.9 million.

We know anyone who looks at the estate has to pre-qualify ... meaning they have to show they can afford the steep purchase price.

As for Robbie, a London newspaper estimates his 2011 net worth at $149 mil. Robbie currently owns a home in the Beverly Hills area -- he paid $16 mil back in 2008. And he bought a house down the street and uses the land as a soccer field. Now that's rich.

As for the Holmby Hills estate -- Michael was renting it from Hubert Guez, the CFO of Ed Hardy. The house is 17,000 square feet, with 7 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms.

As for whether Robbie is interested in making an offer ... his rep had no comment.

Someone should tell Christina Aguilera the only people who go to Hyde anymore are Sean Stewart and Jack Osbourne.

Also in L.A.: Robbie Williams was "heavily medicated," Jason Castro dodged the paps and Benji Madden just wanted a little private time.

In NY: Rhianna and Mike Myers worked the TRL crowd, Billy Ray Cyrus was off to see Miley, LL Cool J's wife rocked a gold crutch and Rachel Bilson was cute as ever.

Robbie Williams loves himself a little Carrie Underwood, and he doesn't care who knows about it.

Also in L.A.: Milla Jovovich and her incredibly adorable daughter Ever, actually married Mekhi Phifer said he was "practically married," Cheri Oteri offered her couch to Ed McMahon and Jacqueline Bisset showed off her killer stems.

In NY: Ashley Olsen tried to be sneaky with Justin Bartha, we sent our regards to Nick Lachey with brother Drew, and Kate Hudson spent the night with her long-haired son, Ryder.

International pop star (i.e., not in America) Robbie Williams likes to get down and dirty in the sack! Take that!


The 33-year-old rehabbed rocker was snapped outside the Chateau Marmont on Tuesday, when he jokingly revealed to TMZ that his favorite pastimes are "wanking and shooting heroin." For the love of Pete Doherty!

The former boybander went on to profess his love for "bum sex." Don't ask, don't tell!

Robbie Williams is a big star in the UK, but his popularity across the pond was tested last night when a passerby had no clue who he was.


TMZ caught the "Rock DJ" singer outside the El Rey after the Mark Ronson concert, where after getting into his SUV, a man on the street started asking our cameraman, "Who is that?"

Even after being told "Robbie Williams," the guy was clueless. Guess he's not a Take That fan.

As British pop powerhouse Robbie Williams can attest, even TMZ gets it wrong every now and then.


The "Take That" crooner was spotted outside Ketchup last night and ignored a TMZ camera -- until asked about L.A. Galaxy's newest player: "David Geffen." Oops! Robbie was quick to laugh at the cameraman's blunder, correcting the photog's renewed attempts to get the question right.

Cheeky!

In New York, it seems that face contortionist John Mayer took a break from hammerin' Cameron to contemplate the automatic trunk on his truck. Close sesame!


Mother lovin' Jeremy Piven was seen backin' dat truck up, after a trip to Colony Plaza in Malibu to buy an L.A. Times. Maybe he was checkin' to see if anyone gave "Smokin' Aces" a good review yet. Nope.

Outside of Chateau Marmont, Ashley Olsen got the Good Samaritan award for not running over any bumper humpin' photogs, and English bulldog Robbie Williams wagged his tuxedo tails and said, "I don't go to clubs anymore ... I don't like music or people." Take that!

Sean "Brick Brat" Stewart kept his mortar cannons in check while entering Il Sole, and an illin' solo Byron Allen and a date-laden Bill Maher grubbed it up at Mr. Chow.

Russell Simmons is on the just-divorced diet -- eating a tofu dinner at Koi. At Club Opera, the Black Eyed Peas court composer Allan Pineda Lindo said he's taking a break from the studio to chill -- while Fergie is busy stayin' hot!

All this and more in today's healthy choices edition of Star Catcher!

British pop star Robbie Williams cheerily flipped cameras the bird in the Hollywood Hills on Tuesday. Love you too, mate!

Williams was wearing a hoodie and shorts with the L.A. Vale Football Club logo, an 11-a-side soccer team for celebs and athletes that he founded in 2005. Rockers need their exercise too!

The L.A. Vale FC are currently ranked Number 1 in the L.A. Premier League. The club competes in Santa Monica; so if you're in the neighborhood, cheer Robbie on with a hand gesture!

Rehabbed Robbie Williams hit up Koi Saturday night -- where someone inside was creepily posing as his father.

TMZ spotted the recovering UK pop star outside the restaurant where, after announcing he'd finally "found the right medication," a woman came up to him asking if he knew Gene Carrier -- a person claiming to be Robbie's father. A visibly confused Williams responded, "Is that a joke? Not a clue who he is."

Here's a tip for potential impostors: Try to get the person's name right. Robbie's dad is comedian Pete Conway.

Robbie Williams is out of rehab and already breakin' hearts in Los Angeles.

TMZ spotted the British pop star locking lips with an unknown brunette inside BOULEVARD3 last night, and then just minutes later, hitting on a stacked blonde outside the club.

A recently rehabbed Robbie also proclaimed, "I'm almost off all drugs," before telling the blonde, "I like this country ... not as much as I like your breasts though."

As smooth as Williams was, he still opted to go home alone.
