Former Take That singer Robbie Williams follows him at second place, with Welsh crooner Tom Jones coming in third, reports The Sun.

 

Among the females, British television presenter Mariella Frostrup topped the list, followed by British actress Joanna Lumley in second place.

He said from the very beginning he had wanted to do two versions of the movie, including a comedy, and also wanted to do an extra take to achieve this.

 

'I've always wanted to do two versions of the movie. From the very beginning, I decided I wanted to do this, and I never really got to do it. I wanted to do an extra take, which was a comedy take, so that then I could cut together the whole movie as a comedy,' The Sun quoted him as saying.

 

'There have been a lot of great send-ups and parodies. It's fun. We used to say we were just making the movies so they could be parodied in Mad magazine, that's the only reason we're here,'  he added.

'My mom and I are going to start talking about ideas this week for the baby's room. She is so gifted in decorating and interior design and I'm grateful to have her help,' Britney writes on her web site.

 

'I've also been thinking of different ideas for the prayer and meditation room. Everything is going so well lately -- it literally brings me to my knees,' she adds.
