Sobre Robbie, Take That y los Brits

Robbie snubbed by Brits Williams snubbed by awards for second year in a row
10/01/2008

Pop stars are set to sweep the boards at this year's Brits, with one notable exception - poor old Robbie Williams.
We can reveal that, once again, the Robster has been Rudely snubbed by the prestigious music awards.
Although his dire Rudebox album somehow made the final eligibility list for Best Male and Best Album, it will be dropped from the final shortlist when it is announced on Monday.
And it looks like the only way Robbie will get an invite to the starstudded ceremony - held at London's Earls Court on February 20 - is if he asks his old mates Take That if he can tag along with them.
The Brits are rapidly becoming Robbie's nemesis.
Last year's ceremony - at which he lost out to Muse in the Best Live Act category - coincided with him going to rehab.
Since then he has sunk deeper into obscurity, while his former bandmates are on a high.
Take That's comeback album, Beautiful World, has been a sensational success and they are favourites to win British Group at this year's Brits.
Although indie acts have dominated the awards in the past - with Arctic Monkeys and The Killers being last year's big winners - TV insiders hint that Take That aren't the only pop act set to bag a coveted statue.

A tv insider says: "This year there's been a resurgence in pop acts. The return of the Spice Girls and Take That has whetted everyone's appetite for fun.
"The charts have been full of serious indie bands. Babyshambles and Arctic Monkeys might get a look in, but it's time that pop had a comeback."
The full list of nominees will be revealed by Kelly Osbourne on Monday night, live on ITV2 from 9pm. Can't wait until then? Here's our top tips on who will be on that hot list. Look away now, Robbie...
