Robbie Williams in Drag?
This brief video shows Robbie Williams dressed in drag in what I assume is a fake Portugese interview. It is another clever exercise in viral marketing to promote the singer's new album "Rudebox" that hasn't done so well in the charts.
I find it ironic that Williams chose to show himself in drag. After the success of "Sing When You're Winning" and "Escapology," the singer has clearly been struggling with his (musical) identity.
I have only one question to ask: Will the real Robbie Williams please stand up? I don't know who he is anymore. (Thanks to Jon for the heads up.)

how has he "clearly been struggling with his musical identity"?
INTENSIVE CARE has sold as much, if not more, than Escapology.
isn't it always the most interesting (and talented) artists who constantly re-invent themselves, and their sound? RUDEBOX is an explosive blend of dance, pop, and hip hop.
the drag interview bit is a teaser for his new video, the PSB collabo SHE'S MADONNA.

Maybe Rudebox isn't doing so well in sales, but I love it from start to finish! Glad to hear She's Madonna is the next single as well.
