Carl Barat reportedly shot down any hopes of a long term Libertines reunion. After his appearance with former band mate Pete Doherty raised hopes of further collaboration, Barat appears to be set on continuing with his current band Dirty Pretty Things. Barat is quoted as saying "Are they any plans for any more reunions? Not really. I'm really into the new stuff I'm writing."

Perhaps Barat realizes that Doherty, while showing signs of getting his act together, is not completely out of the woods. Reports show Doherty's touring has actually lost money during the last year. In fairness to Pete, some of that, if the reports are accurate, is due to gig cancellations of the past and not necessarily indicative of things to come. Of course, having a millionaire supermodel girlfriend like Kate Moss isn't a bad fall back position in the event things don't pick up.
