Monkey chums hate Chung

According to The Sun, friends of Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner dislike his girlfriend Alexa Chung, cringing at their public displays of affection and her use of his full name.

Friends of Arctic Monkeys and Last Shadow Puppets frontman Alex Turner apparently don't like his girlfriend, Alexa Chung. According to The Sun, the couple's "slushy smooching" has led friends to hide "behind pub sofas cringing", and they have also taken exception to Chung's tendency to refer to Alex as Alexander. It all sounds quite petty to me. Though one of said friends reportedly said: "It's not very rock n roll", and they have a point. I mean, how many other rock stars do you know who have a girlfriend. Or a name. Not one.
