KOOKS MISS OUT ON MEETING KYLIE

THE KOOKS were disappointed that they missed the chance to meet KYLIE MINOGUE after she did not allow them entry to her recent after-party.

The pop princess was celebrating the opening night of her X2008 tour in Paris and held a small party after the show, which the band, who were shooting a video in the French capital, hoped to attend.

Frontman LUKE PRITCHARD told the Sun newspaper: "We heard she was having a party and so asked if we could come."

However, the group are not letting one rejection hold them back, with Luke telling the publication: "We were gutted. I like her and her songs. I won't give up. We'll try again next time we're in the same city."

THE KOOKS were in Paris shooting the video for their latest single DO YOU WANNA.

The band closed the festivities on the final evening of One Big Weekend in Kent last night, treating fans to renditions of their hits SEASIDE and ALWAYS WHERE I NEED TO BE.

Luke finished the set by attempting to climb the barrier separating him from the crowd and had to be hauled back by security staff.
