Robbie Williams is not expecting a package

The most interesting of tonight's NME awards has been leaked, as it seems Robbie Williams has waltzed the worst album prize:

"People voted in their thousands with nearly every vote directed at Robbie's feeble offering," reveals our source. Never in the history of the Shockwaves NME Awards has there been such a concerted effort to get one album-named at the worst."

The history of the Shockwaves NME award goes back, what, one year? The inclusion of the sponsor's name in that quote suggests it was an intentional leak to promote the awards.

There are, apparently, plans to Fed-Ex Robbie's prize to his "rehab" clinic, but since they won't even let him have get well soon cards delivered to him, IPC might be better off keeping its cash in its pocket.

The real scandal, of course, is how Johnny Borrell came to be so badly robbed in this category.

The odd thing is that Rudebox was very, very good, better than any other Robbie album. Of course, whenever there's voting for a "worst _____" usually people vote based on buzz...like on IMDB, there's no way enough people actually say Gigli or From Justin To Kelly to give it so many low votes.

Anon... "better than any other Robbie album" is barely setting the bar very high, is it?
