London – Robbie Williams ist zurück – und auch wieder abseits der Musik in alter Form. So kommentiert er die Trennung seiner alten Rivalen Liam und Noel Gallagher von Oasis mit harten Worten.

«Sie haben eine Ehrenrunde von 13 Jahren hinter sich. Da gab es den einen oder anderen Edelstein wie ‘The Importance of Being Idle’, aber das war es dann auch», zitiert das britische Boulevardblatt «The Sun» den britischen «Bodies»-Sänger. Die Brüder wären so störrisch und überhaupt besser ohne einander dran, so der 35-Jährige, der nach seinem Ausscheiden bei Take That 1995 sogar kurz Unterschlupf bei Oasis fand.

‘The Importance Of Being Idle’ is your choice

Oasis are celebrating after winning the Best Video prize tonight (February 23) at the ShockWaves NME Awards 2006.

The band’s clip for the single ‘The Importance Of Being Idle’ was victorious, beating Franz Ferdinand, Gorillaz, The Strokes and Kaiser Chiefs.

Oasis’ award, which was voted for by NME readers and MTV2 viewers, was picked-up on the band’s behalf by actor Rhys Ifans, who starred in the video as a lazy undertaker in a funeral parlour run by the Gallagher brothers.

He said: “Oasis can’t be here, there’s been a terible air accident and they’re all dead. Legends.”

The full nominations were:

• Franz Ferdinand – ‘Do You Want To’
• Gorillaz – ‘DARE’
• The Strokes – ‘Juicebox’
• Kaiser Chiefs – ‘I Predict A Riot’
• Oasis – ‘The Importance Of Being Idle’

Leading the way on the shortlist are the Kaiser Chiefs, who have bagged nominations in key categories Best British Band, Best Album, Best Live Band, Best Track, Best Video, Best Website and Best DVD.

“Obviously we’re very pleased,” said the band’s drummer Nick Hodgson after learning of his band’s nominations. “It all sounds brilliant. It’s great to be up for the album and live awards. It means people appreciate what you do.”

With the polls now open so you can vote for the final results, Hodgson added he was looking forward to the February 23 ceremony. “I hope people vote for us because we’ve never won anything we’ve been nominated for before,” he explained.

COLDPLAY’S X&Y has been named the best album of 2005.

LONDON (Reuters) - Oasis shot straight to the top of the pop charts on Sunday, one of seven new entries to burst into the top 10 this week, according to the Official UK Charts Company.

“The Importance of Being Idle” is the second top hit for the one-time bad boy Manchester band from their recent album “Don’t Believe The Truth” following on from the success of “Lyla”.

It is their eighth number one single.

In second spot was “Pon De Replay” by Caribbean-born star Rihanna while Canadian singer-songwriter Daniel Powter was unmoved in third place with “Bad Day” staying ahead of “Lay Your Hands”, a new entry from former Blue singer Simon Webbe.

Former number one James Blunt was down to fifth with “You’re Beautiful” with U.S. hip-hop act Black Eyed Peas debuting in sixth with “Don’t Lie”.

“Popstars” winners Girls Aloud were new in seventh with “Long Hot Summer”, with last week’s number one McFly dropping to eighth with “I’ll Be OK”.

Kaiser Chiefs were another new entry in ninth place with “I Predict A Riot” with “My Doorbell” from The White Stripes debuting in 10th.
