They hit the top of the charts across the world with their last release, 2008’s Only By The Night, and now Tennessee four-piece Kings Of Leon are gearing up for the highly anticipated (currently untitled) release of album number six, due out in mid October.

But while the “Sex Of Fire” outfit have been fighting off claims of selling out after their stadium-rock record became a smash hit, turns out the Followill clan isn’t up for everything...

Frontman Caleb Followill has confessed that the band turned down the opportunity to have their songs feature on two of America’s biggest TV shows: high school musical sitcom “Glee”, and feel-good rom-com “Ugly Betty”. While “Glee” has been good enough for the likes of Madonna, Britney Spears and Lady Gaga, the southern rockers say they’re not interested in showcasing their tunes in the hit show, no matter if “apparently everybody loves it.”

Mind you, before Only By The Night really broke big the band did allow three of their songs to appear in hit show “Gossip Girl”. Hollywood can also wait in line, Followill claims. “We had some people call us up wanting to know if we’d allow ‘Use Somebody’ to appear in the trailer for their next movie, and we turned them down,” he recently revealed. “Next day, they called back and tried to put us through to the star of the movie – I won’t name names, but he’s an incredibly famous actor – to let him try to convince us to agree to do it. I was like, ‘Man, don’t even waste your energy.’”
