Da's Katilce Miranda, met Bono op het podium tijdens With or Without in Sao Paulo. Ze is daardoor bijna een beroemdheid geworden in Brazilië.

Ze heeft talloze interviews gegeven, op haar profiel op orkut heeft ze dik 3 miljoen (!! ) reacties gekregen, Playboy heeft haar een aanbod gedaan, een TV zender heeft ook al intresse..

En dat allemaal omdat ze Bono een kus heeft gegeven.

News: Achtung! Zoo TV DVD in October
@U2 / U2achtung.com
May 11, 2006

Our friends at U2achtung.com are reporting confirmation from Universal Music France today that a Zoo TV Tour DVD will be released this October in two versions: standard and limited edition with bonus features. It's safe to assume this will be the Sydney concert, but Universal didn't confirm that.

Wenn es nicht ein so heisses Thema wäre, wäre es ja ganz lustig. Aber mittlerweile wurden schon zu viele Bits und Bytes im Internet über dieses Thema verschwendet, und immer wieder wurden U2 Fans auf der ganzen Welt auf das Tiefste entäuscht. Die letzte News dieser Art trug den Titel: 'Universal Release-Folge 452. Heute: PopMart Tour DVD'. Wir denken es ist gerechtfertigt, bei 453. weiterzumachen. Universal Frankreich versendete in ihrem dieswöchigen Newsletter die frohe Botschaft, dass Zoo TV Live From Sydney im Oktober 2006 als DVD erscheinen soll. In einfacher und limitierter Version mit umfangreichem Bonusmaterial. Dies soll nun auch in einem Telefonat bestätigt worden sein. u2tour.de ist jedoch gemein und dämpft die Vorfreude. Auch wir glauben es erst, wenn wir die DVD für ein Review in Händen halten, zu umfangreich waren die Entäuschungen in den vergangenen Jahren zu diesem Thema

Giorgio and Condoleezza, edited by Bono
Published: 13 May 2006
On Tuesday, The Independent is to turn RED, and half of all the revenues from that day's newspaper will be donated to fighting Aids in Africa. The paper will be edited by the U2 frontman and activist Bono, who, along with the leading American philanthropist, Bobby Shriver, set up the Product RED partnership.

The RED initiative is designed to throw the weight of the corporate world behind the battle against the disease that will kill two million Africans this year alone. Big high-street names, including American Express, Gap, Converse and Giorgio Armani, have already signed up to the scheme, in which companies create specifically designed products and donate a percentage of the profits to programmes for women and children with Aids in Africa. The Independent is the first media organisation to sign up to the scheme.

Simon Kelner, editor-in-chief of The Independent, said yesterday: "We are delighted to be involved with RED, and I am thrilled to be handing over the editor's desk for a day to Bono. His perspective on world affairs is unique, his access to world leaders is second to none, and he shares the sensibilities of our newspaper. I am certain that the paper he will produce for Tuesday will be, in the traditions of The Independent, challenging, entertaining and illuminating."

Bono has already been at work, commissioning a number of features for Tuesday. The structure of the paper will be familiar to regular readers - there will be a 16-page motoring section as normal, for instance - but there will also be a host of special events, from an interview between Stella McCartney and Giorgio Armani, to the first, exclusive view of new photographs by the artist Sam Taylor-Wood, to a conversation between Bono and the comedian Eddie Izzard. Oh, and Condoleezza Rice has chosen that day's Ten Best.

"We know from the terrific response to our annual charity appeals that our readers have a great interest in, and concern for, Africa," said Mr Kelner.

Tuesday's paper has a twin mission: to shine a light on the issues affecting Africa, and to raise money to help alleviate the continent's Aids crisis.

"We are trying to make it really easy for people to help," added Bono, activist, singer and, for a day, editor.

Introducing Bono, the new editor of 'The Independent'
... and Condoleezza Rice, the music critic. The frontman of the biggest rock band in the world is taking over our sister paper for a day, and bringing in some friends
By Cole Moreton
Published: 14 May 2006
The Independent will get a new editor tomorrow. He is a short, talkative pop star who wears sunglasses indoors. But he can argue with economics professors and has persuaded right-wing American politicians to give billions of dollars to Africa.

Bono, the lead singer of U2, will be putting together a special edition of our sister paper to be published on Tuesday, highlighting the issues facing Africa and raising money to help fight the continent's Aids crisis.

Half the newspaper's revenue that day will go to the Product RED partnership he set up with the American philanthropist Bobby Shriver to fund programmes for women and children with Aids in Africa. Two million people there will die of the disease this year. The Independent is the first media organisation to join global brands such as Gap and American Express in designing and selling special products for RED.

Bono's one-day editorship has become a worldwide media story in its own right, attracting attention from America to the Far East. "It might be difficult fitting in everything he wants to do," said one source for the singer, lyricist and compulsive communicator. "He's no minimiser, that's for sure."

The only person ever to be nominated for a Grammy, an Oscar and the Nobel Peace Prize, Bono is the singer with the biggest band in the world (170m albums sold to date) but also one of the planet's most successful lobbyists. Last year, for example, he was credited with personally persuading President Bush to put up US donations to Africa by $2bn.

Tomorrow he expects to do everything an editor does, from chairing the morning editorial conference to writing headlines and choosing pictures. Some features have already been commissioned, including conversations between the designers Stella McCartney and Giorgio Armani, and Bono and Eddie Izzard. New photographs by the artist Sam Taylor-Wood will be published for the first time. And perhaps most surprising of all, the US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, will choose her Ten Best pieces of music.

Simon Kelner, editor-in-chief of The Independent, said: "Bono was very excited about doing this, right from the start. He had hundreds of ideas and has brought many of them to fruition already. He has already been working hard, and is taking it very seriously."

Bono will stay in the office until the front page has gone to press. But after that the 44-year-old's life as a global superstar and campaigner will return to normal - with a car to the airport, and an evening flight to Africa.
