Today is Robbie Williams birthday, and he s celebrating in a time-honoured way - by realising that he s got a huge dependency on prescription medication and clattering off to rehab before anyone can say Of course, Gary Barlow was always the talented one.
According to a brief statement by one of his spokespeople, Robbie Williams had admitted himself to an unknown rehab facility in America to battle another round of substance abuse problems - this time it s apparently prescription medication that Robbie is trying to kick. The timing of Robbie Williams newest stint in rehab literally couldn t have been worse - not because of Take That s career rebirth or the effect it ll have on the promotion of his new album, but because we only just sent him a giftwrapped gigantopack of Dilaudid for his birthday.

In retrospect we should have probably got Robbie a Build-A-Bear Workshop voucher instead.

For instance, if the naming a track on his new album Dickhead and then shrieking I ve got a bucket of shit six times in a row during it didn t make you think that something might be amiss, then Robbie Williams ruining everyone s Christmas by probably did.

Either way, things seemed to be piling up on Robbie Williams towards the end of last year - and got all the love for once, Robbie s Asian tours were cancelled due to stress and his Rudebox single was called the worst song ever by the frightening-looking woman who works for The Sun. And now Robbie Williams has landed himself in rehab, as a statement from spokeswoman Bryony Watts said:
Robbie Williams has today been admitted into a treatment center in America for his dependency on prescription drugs. There will be no further comment on this matter.

It s actually quite refreshing for a celebrity to go to rehab for a treatable cause for once, instead of an or for . Compared to that, Robbie Williams treatment for prescription medication addiction should be a breeze. Just look at only cost him three whole months of his life, a and the respect that comes from not .

Unless this is all part of a disgusting plan where Robbie Williams got himself hooked on prescription drugs just so that he could try it on with fellow , of course. Which it might be. In which case we kinda wish we thought of it first.
