Robbie Williams is not dead

As if the Vodafones and the MOBOs wasn't enough, we're now getting the first burblings about the 2008 Brit Awards. Newton is reporting that Kylie and Robbie Williams are being lined up for the festivities next year.

Now, Kylie - who, by then, will have done the rousing comeback album - makes sense. But in a celebration of this year's music, what place does Robbie Williams have?

It gets worse:

Brits bosses have also come up with a brilliant idea to bring back Robbie “from the dead” by having him rise from a coffin on stage.

Oh, yes, he's going to go along with that dig at his reduced celebrity circumstances, isn't he? Presumably during rehearsals they'd sidle up to him and say "actually, Rob, how do you feel about emerging from a toilet, instead?"
