Robbie Williams

I love Robbie Williams. I think he's massively talented, funny and has created some great music.
But his latest feud with Britpop bands means he makes the Bell-end list for today.
His latest dig is that his nan could be in Blur.
Now, I know nothing of his nan's musical abilities. His nan might be Brian May for all I know, but he shouldn't be touting her as a new member of one of the best Britpop bands of the entire movement.
I think Robbie should be above this sniping among people who are all professionals after all. He should be crediting these people for slicing through the boy-band apathy that had descended upon British music during the nineties - an apathy he is partly responsible for. These bands made British music edgy again. They were the perfect anathema for the sugary, safe pop music that all but threatened to turn British music into a laughing stock.
Give credit where it's due, Robbie. Remember you once sang "Do what you like", the video for which couldn't have been more gay if Elton John bummed the entire band one after the other.
