Never Meet Your Heroes
They're bound to disappoint - like the time we booked Wayne Hussey for the B3ta Radio Show. Five minutes before we're due to record, Wayne
phones, lost on the M25 with his Brazilian wife screaming in the background. Not so much the King of Goth, as a hen-pecked flake.

Robbie Williams
Completely true, I promise.
Just over a month ago i was in Dubai visiting my sister whom is a journalist for a magazine that publishes events going on in dubai on a weekly basis (London has one and new york if you catch my drift). Whilst there Robbie himself would be performing and the whole city was going mental over the fact that the "pop god" himself was gracing them with his prescence.
However, one week before this magazine ran a story about him. As he hates jounalists, he refused to be interviewed. So the guy (James) doing the piece wrote his summary of Robbie. To be fair the guy was neither nasty or very praising of Robbie. It was a long piece and in it he mentions Robbie has sold 35million records worldwide and His most famous song is Angels. All pretty normal.
However the day comes when Robbie arrives at his hotel (can't remember the name), with his entourage of around 30 people and James and his editor are there. They greet him with a friendly handshake and he mutters something to his entourage and the guy starts laughing at the two Journalists. Robbie then walks off.
So James walks over to the bar they were at to pay their bill. However Robbie comes back and says to James' boss, "give this to James for me", giving him a piece of paper.
On it it says,
"James you are a cunt, I have sold 42million albums worldwide, as for good songs Rock DJ and Millenium to name but 2 more!"
Apparently he reads all articles about himself and takes them very seriously!!
They wanted to run an article with the piece of paper in it, but apparently it was a bit risky.
Then my sister and girlfriend went to see him perform and have declared their undying love to the complete twat!!!
