Mobile games firm Artificial Life has announced a deal to make an official Robbie Williams iPhone game, due for release later this year. The as-yet unnamed game will tie in with Williams’ new Reality Killed The Video Star album, and will thus include music and artwork from the album within the game. It’s not a music game along the lines of the Lady GaGa Revenge and Coldplay Revenge titles made by US firm Tapulous, though. Instead, Artificial Life’s Robbie game will be a 3D rally racing title.

The3Heroes herewith regret having sent a proposal for an official chatroom to Robbie Williams. Immediately upon receipt The3Heroes’ Ms Crämer was called by the now former director of Robbie Williams Com Ltd.
The director and her talked about dangers coming from fans and the closure of several chat rooms. At that time Ms Crämer was unaware about the extreme violence that was still going on within the Robbie Williams fan-scene. Unfortunately it is still violent. Ms Crämer regrets that she was unable to seeing the dangers coming from the Robbie Williams ‘fan-base as was foreseen by Robbie Williams Com Ltd.
Shortly after the conversation one fansite, that now no longer exists, ran into great controversy because of bestiality and other perversion in text form in the message board. Charges were pressed. According to a Düsseldorf police officer, the British based website could have been suspected of distribution of pornography, bestiality, and glorification of violence. Because of the server being in the UK nothing could be done.
In Germany, such a crime can be charged with 3 years in prison or a heavy fine. Only recently a Robbie Williams “fan” suggested to sing that loud with fellow fans that Robbie Williams shall suffer an acute hearing loss during his next tour. They disbelieve the terror alerts for the UK singer.
Ms Crämer’s former business partners are no longer part of The3Heroes and ended partnership in December 2005. Today The3Heroes offer PR and editorial services and live moderation. These services have nothing do with moderation of chats or message boards.
Likely “fans” damaged the car of Ms Crämer. Photography can be found on the The3Heroes website www.the3heroes.com.

Robbie Williams has a long tradition of delivering iconic videos for his tracks. ‘She’s Madonna’s accompanying clip is no exception and shows Robbie as we have never seem him before. It was shot recently in Los Angeles during a break before the final Australasian leg of his world tour. The video features appearances from some of LA’s most famous and infamous drag queens including most notably Alexis Arquette (brother of the famed Arquette family acting siblings Patricia, Rosanna & David) and was made with Swedish director Johan Renck, whose previous video credits include William’s ‘Trippin’’ promo and acclaimed video for the likes of Beyonce, The Streets and Madonna herself.
‘She’s Madonna’ is released on March 5th on Chrysalis/EMI, and is taken from his recent and acclaimed ‘Rudebox’ album released in late 2006. Robbie Williams has just completed the final leg of his record breaking ‘Close Encounters’ World tour, playing to over 3 million people along the way.
‘She’s Madonna’ is released on March 5th on Chrysalis / EMI Records. ‘Rudebox’ – the album – is out now.
