Robbie Williams A success story of purely British proportions, Robbie Williams went from being a teen pinup in the U.K's version of New Kids on the Block (Take That) to being a teen pinup for the post-Brit Pop generation. After the demise of Take That, Robbie "The Tough One" Williams took to hardening his image by surrounding himself with drugs, solo records, and Oasis. His singles have been the perfect blend of teen-pop all dressed up in lad-rock clothing. His smirking confidence, roguish good looks and genuine stage presence have seen him do surprisingly well with the American market.

Robbiewilliams American 360 owners likely won't care too much, but a Robbie Williams theme and videos are now available on Xbox Live. "She's Madonna," "A Place to Crash," and "Lovelight," will all run you 280 Microsoft points, unless you want to slum it with standard definition, in which case they're a mere 230.

"Robbie Williams has today been admitted into a treatment center in America for his dependency on prescription drugs," his public relations agent in London said. "There will be no further comment on this matter."

The well known photographer took a picture of naked Robbie together with Leonardo Di Caprio’s girl-friend Gisele, who had a swim suit on. The picture was taken for the cover of the American fashion magazine Vogue. After the session Testino offered Williams to get dressed. Robbie refused in the beginning, but then put the clothes back on, although without any strong wish for that. The photographs, made during that photo session, can be seen in Testino’s personal gallery in London’s National Portrait Gallery.
Robbie ended tabloid speculation about his sexuality by winning a libel case against MGN and Northern & Shell in December 2005 relating to articles which had reported he was a secret homosexual. A report in The People, owned by MGN Limited, in August 2004 and another in Star and Hot Stars magazines, owned by Northern & Shell plc, in September 2004 said Mr. Williams was about to deceive the public with the publication of a book, Feel, that would say he only had sex with women, despite spending an entire decade dropping unsubtle hints to the effect that he was gay.
