It transpires that we might have been lying, with vicious intent I'm sure, when we said yesterday that Robbie Williams had been among the guests at Mark Owen's wedding at the weekend. Robbie's attendance at Owen's big day was widely reported, but yesterday afternoon Contactmusic published a quote from Williams denying he was there, explaining he couldn't attend because of promotional commitments around new album 'Reality Killed The Video Star'.
The Robster says: " absolutely fantastic. Really, really lovely. Can I just qualify - I wasn't there. I was in Germany doing a TV show but I did like reading that I had flown up on a plane and that I was going to be singing. I was like, 'Oh, really?'"
Perhaps Owen booked a Robbie look-a-like to attend the ceremony and fool the paps. I remember seeing a really good Robbie Williams look-a-like at a conference once - he had the whole image and performance down to a tee, except he kept insisting on hitting the high notes properly, which somewhat ruined the illusion.
