Liam Gallagher has branded Robbie Williams a "f***ing drama queen" for checking into rehab.

The Oasis frontman has blasted his rival for seeking help for his prescription drugs addiction on the eve of the BRIT Awards, and says he only did it to be on the "f***ing front pages" of newspapers.

Speaking backstage at Wednesday night's (14.02.07) star-studded ceremony, Liam ranted: "What's his f***ing problem, man? We all know what it is - he's a f***ing drama f***ing queen. If you've got a problem why do you want the whole world to know about it? He has to be on the front f***ing pages, doesn't he? Just sort your f***ing self out man.

"If you take drugs you end up in rehab unless you're like me."

The 'Cigarettes and Alcohol' singer - who along with the rest of Oasis picked up the Outstanding Contribution To Music award at the BRITs - believes Robbie is hooked on pills because he can't cope with the criticism levelled against his last album 'Rudebox'.

Liam added: "You make a crap album and then you want everyone to feel f***ing sorry for you. F***ing t***er!"

Although they were briefly friends in the mid-90s, Liam and Robbie have been feuding for years since Liam's brother Noel labelled the 'Angels' singer "the fat dancer from Take That" in 2000.

Liam is engaged to Robbie's ex-girlfriend, former All Saints singer Nicole Appleton, and the pair have a son, Gene.

Robbie checked himself into The Meadows rehab centre on Tuesday (13.02.07), on his 33rd birthday.

He is believed to be hooked on anti-depressant Seroxat, anti-anxiety relaxant Xanax and the painkiller Vicodin.
