DVD
If a fan could create the ultimate Irish rock concert, Greatest Irish Bands (Hip-O/UTV Records), released February 24, 2004, just three weeks before St. Patrick’s Day, would be that Celtic rockfest. With signature songs from U2, Sinéad O’Connor, The Pogues, Van Morrison, Thin Lizzy, The Corrs, Stiff Little Fingers, Hothouse Flowers, The Undertones, Boomtown Rats, The Cranberries, Rory Gallagher, and Clannad featuring Bono plus the bonus DVD short film Sightings Of Bono, a must-have-for-any-U2-fan available for the first time, Greatest Irish Bands rocks the Emerald Isle and beyond. U2 is heard with "Where The Streets Have No Name," the Top 20 hit from 1987’s The Joshua Tree, the band’s first #1 album.
Bono is also part of Sightings Of Bono, a seven-minute film shot in Dublin in 2000 (based on a short story by Irish writer Gerard Beirne) about a girl who sees the U2 lead singer everywhere until she eventually meets him in the shop where she works. The short was seen in a few theaters and on the Internet but has never been released elsewhere until now.

Rumours
Bono pays Stipe's £6,000 bill...
U2 singer Bono forked out £6,000 for the bill last week for the 40th birthday party of Julia, Michael Stipe from REM's bestfriend. The party in a Dublin restaurant was last weekend and 20 top stars enjoyed 8 bottles of Crystal and a bill came to £300 a head which the U2 singer Bono paid without a second glance.
Among the guests were REM's Michael Stipe, Bono and his wife Ali, supermodel Helena Christenson and the father of her child Norman Reedus, Bono's bestfriend Gavin Friday and REM's bassist Mike Mills to name but a few.
The party went on to just before 2am. The following day Bono didn't turn up until the evening to shoot his new work of art. A short film called "Sightings of Bono."
Taking a break the star popped into the new VIVA bar on South William Street for a wake up cure before popping into Lillies Bordello nightclub on Sunday night. All before another day of filming on Monday.
