Alex Turner gives Kate Moss the cold shoulder.
Arctic Brush-off

Will Kate Moss not be satisfied until she's snared each and every one of our young pop hopes? Most recent on her saucy list of seduction is Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys. She approached him for his number backstage at an Arctics gig and rang him up soon after.

Fortunately, Alex had the wherewithal to seek advice from his mum before falling into the clutches of the wanton supermodel.

A friend of the band told The Sun: "He was home in Sheffield when the phone rang and this girl said 'Hi, it's Kate'. He thought it was one of the girls he used to go to school with asking for free tickets. When he asked 'Kate who?' he freaked out when she said it was Kate Moss. She asked him if he wanted to meet up and he mumbled something about being busy with the band and he'd have to see. Then she followed it up with a few texts and he panicked and told his mum Penny."

In true mum style, Mrs Turner put her foot down at the thought of her son getting up to shenanigans with Kate. We like to think that she wagged her finger while doing so.

Alex's friend explains: "She is a straight-laced teacher and had already warned him about getting mixed up with drugs while in the band. There was no way she wanted her son involved with Kate after all her cocaine carry on."

What happens next, makes our hearts swell with happiness:

"He was going out with someone else from school at the time so he ignored the texts. I think Kate got bored of asking in the end."

Come on people! Hold hands, close your eyes and pray, pray, pray that the Arctic Monkeys never change.
