Robbie Williams Says Courtney Love Is Too Busted For Him

Courtney Love – who has been linked to a number of British celebrities – apparently draws the line at Robbie Williams. When the former Hole singer rejected him at first sight, the Robster had a comeback ready, and it was a doozy:

“I met Courtney Love and she said she’d like to sleep with me, but couldn’t because of my pop star thing. So I said I couldn’t sleep with her either because of the ugly thing.”

That’s enough to make me fall in love with Robbie Williams again. All is forgiven, Robbie. Thank God someone has standards in Hollyweird.
