Arctic Monkeys say they're planning to refuse TV interviews in future, because their previous TV appearances have been abysmal, and because it all gets too political. According to the band's fansite mardy-bum.com, drummer Matt Helders said: "The TV interviews we did were abysmal. We just don't want to do it. We don't think we should have to do that stuff just because we're in a band. You can't win - either you're a knobhead for not doing stuff, or you bore people if they see your face everyday."
Frontman Alex Turner added: "And then there's the politics. You can't do one TV show without doing the other."
Elsewhere in Alex Turner news, serial rock star progenitor Lisa Moorish, mother, as previously reported, to children by both Liam Gallagher and Pete Doherty, is, according to The Sun, seeking to add the baby frontman to that lineup, if her behaviour at the NME awards is anything to go by. An 'onlooker' claims: "It was obvious Lisa was on the prowl. She was all over the kid - but she's nearly old enough to be his mother. Lisa wrote her number on a scrap of paper and forced it on Alex, telling him to ring her. He went red and shoved it in his pocket."
