Bye, Robb?

A visit to Robb's Celebrities and Celebrity 00ps! has been a rite of passage for male users of the internet for many, many years. Who among us hasn't typed the name of our favourite female celebrity into a search engine and eventually ended up at Robb's site? For years, Robb has happily gone about his business archiving photos of female celebrities exposing various bits of their anatomy, whether intentional or not. The site has remained defiantly old school in it's design, eschewing new-fangled innovations like CSS and Flash in favour of tried and trusted HTML and - shock! - frames.

Well, today's Popbitch newsletter carried the news that Robb himself had died. His site carried an announcement that Robb was sorry but he couldn't update the site anymore because he was dead (well, words to the effect). Sad news indeed. However, the anouncement has now disappeared so we're left wondering if Robb is really dead or not. Has he perhaps been resurrected? Did he arrive at the pearly gates ony to be told that his commitment to the finer female form was still required and that he would have to come back later?

I'm sure all will be revealed in due course...
