Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt are reportedly finding it increasingly difficult to get together in order to pen new material.

A source said: "The boys simply have different priorities now. Julian is in love with family life (he's had twins with his missus, Julia Davies of Nighty Night fame) and sees a wild night out as a pint in his local pub. Noel still loves the party scene. He also wants to get out to the US where the Boosh is a big hit on the Adult Swim network. Julian isn't as excited and fans are running a sweepstake on the The Mighty Boosh forum about him not showing up for their slot at the Comic-Con convention in San Diego on July 24 - which is sold out. Julian didn't even attend the debut screening of Boosh guru Paul King's new film The Bunny And The Bull earlier this month, despite starring alongside Noel in it. Meanwhile, Noel is writing some of the best material of his career for The Big Chill festival in Herefordshire in August."

OK, the next Gossip article to be posted here will be more upbeat in subject matter. Promise.
