Well, there’s nothing like beating around the bush! (No pun intended)

THE STROKES drummer FABRIZIO MORETTI cut short his appearance at the NME awards in London last night, so he could return home to have sex with girlfriend DREW BARRYMORE.

After a busy schedule promoting the band’s new album, the couple have been apart for a month – so Moretti was desperate to seek out his belle.

He told reporters, “I’m rushing back to Drew ‘cos I haven’t had sex in a month.”
