Robbie Williams' Latest Bisexual Blurb
Although it was reported last December that singer Robbie Williams had won damages against a writer that suggested he was gay, it seems Williams does a pretty good job of doing that himself.
He recently said: "Living in Los Angeles, I've been on so many dates. I've developed relationships that have been short-lived, for whatever reason. The press have never found out. But I believe there's one person out there for everybody. I hope that she - whoever I choose - is a good 'un. Or he... you never know, you never know."
Today we have a special mix for Towleroad readers of Robbie's latest single "Rudebox".

Most people in America do not even know who Robbie is.
Though he is the most succesful and most awarded pop star in the world.
His success makes justin timberlake look like a pauper. Though most of America has no clue who he is.
Oh, and on the article itself....I would gladly do Robbie....help him out with his bisexualty. He isn't pretty, but he sure is sexy.

It's funny how Robbie has never made it big over here...would be interesting to know why that is -- no label support, or what have you. Not that anyone's going to mistake him for a great artist, but his music is pleasant enough ear candy -- certainly no more trivial than a great deal of what gets play here in the US -- and with his good looks and "colorful" personality, you would think he'd have made more of a splash here.

Not familiar with Mr. Williams himself, but what is he afraid of if he admits to having a bf? Are his fans mostly young women? Where does he tour? Last time I checked there were plenty of successful and out pop singers.

Robbie tours the world. Everywhere except the US.
He tried once or twice to hit it off over here, but it never panned out so he doesn't even try anymore with america.
Go to Europe, Japan, South America.....Robbie!!!! Aghhhhh justin who??? seriously that is the reaction you will get. He is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The guy has money shooting out of his arse.
His stuff has a euro sound to it is the onyl thing I can think of as to why he has never hit it off here. America has always had a strong anti-european mend set.

2 songs that you guys might have heard by him are
MILLENIUM (did get a lot of play time here in the states)
LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU (the video was played a lot here in the states because it was freaky cool.....women rip off Robbie's clothes/ he dances in his underware and then they rip off his skin....he dances around in just muscles and blood GROSS and no skin....a great comment on celebrity)

His video for Rock DJ got airplay here. It was one of the most creative videos I'd seen all that year.
American music scene seems to be more about image than music and I'm not sure EMI knows how to market Robbie here.
He's not that hot to me, but he's got SUCH charisma--which is even better than physical good looks in my opinion.

Wow. I love Soul Mekanik. This remix is pretty good. I'll be passing it on to my DJ friends.

Career! Career! Career! He wants to have a loyal gay following but that is not none to the straight public.
I've seen and heard him and he doesn't have a nice attitude. He seems to have a chip on his shoulder.

Robbie Williams is as queer as queer can get. All the Brits know it, he just isn't even famous enough in the US for anyone to care.
And he is a cutie too!

Speaking as an Englishman, I can give you a not-very-exciting exclusive and mention that Rudebox has gone down like a lead balloon in the UK. Currently number 4 in the charts, which isn't good for Robbie. Scissor Sisters are No.1 at the moment. It's true, we like our entertainers camp.
I'm in NYC next week. Very excited, first ever visit - can I get a good cup of earl grey out there? And what music is hot to trot in NYC right now?

I LOVE Robbie, and his Euro-sound. And I'm not American.
