Robbie Williams has had a hectic few days... the eyes never lie. He's had to deal with overly zealous X Factor contestants, and perform for the first time on English soil in three years. He then rounded off his album PR whirlwind by running over an 18-year-old photographer called Steven. OK, so he didn't personally run him down, but he was in the car in question.

According to WENN, as the singer was driven away from London's Fountain Studios last night, a young photographer was apparently pushed to the ground and his legs were reportedly run over by the vehicle. Security then busied themselves trying to manhandle Steven from under the wheels, but were soon stopped by witnesses who pointed out he should be left still in case he'd broken anything. Williams was said to have immediately exited the car ("crying", according to The Mirror), before making haste in another vehicle.

Judging by these photos, it was all a little too much for Mr. Williams. In fact, he looks like he's willing someone to beam him up.

In other X Factor news, the first act ousted from the show last night, Kandy Rain (yep, Jedward survived, and it has everything to do with their talent... nothing to do with X Factor bosses fearing "a hate-campagin could become too much for the 17-year-old twins")are a bit bitter they weren't appreciated for their (singing) talent. Azi (the wan from Doobalin) said: "I think the public didn't get to see enough of Kandy Rain before the live shows." To be honest, they saw too much, and that was the problem. Those outfits left little to the imagination. Frankly, I've seen enough gussets in the last six months to last me a lifetime.

Azi's cohort, Coco, continued with: "I think the comments we were given were unfair. They were commenting on our clothes and that is not what The X Factor is about. It is not a fashion show (clearly). We went out there to have fun with our outfits and we are proud of ourselves." Azi added: "Cheryl didn't understand Kandy Rain or the whole concept."

There's a concept? Really? Jeeeez, how embarrassing... I totally missed it, too. Might you run it past me, for I - ignorantly - just thought your shtick was "We're four curvaceous strumpets, who are mildly gifted in the vocal department, who favour bin liners instead of garments - TAADAA!" Lord, how could one get a concept so totally wrong. They'll never let me into the Tate again.
