Robbie Williams on X Factor
One of the hottest shows in the UK is X Factor, an Idol-like competition show with bands instead of individuals. Simon Cowell is negotiating hard to bring the U.S. its own version of the show -- in an attempt to recreate the success that Idol met when it crossed the pond. Until then, we only get Twitter buzz here -- and this past weekend, there was quite the buzz when guest Robbie Williams peformed his latest single, "Bodies." Williams is a mystery -- such a huge star in the UK, who never met the same success here. Odd -- because he has all the makings of a huge pop star.
