Bono Gossip
Bono Bono gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Dear Gossips,
This weekend marks the end of Pride Month but, of course, never the end of Pride. Pride Month is June, as we know, because Stonewall happened in June, 50 years ago now; as a matter of fact, the exact anniversary was today and through the weekend. Read Full Intro

The 3rd Annual Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation Saint Tropez Gala happened last night. This is when Leo invites a handful of movie stars and celebrities and several handfuls of models to mingle with European billionaires to raise money for environmental causes. Full Story
Martin Lawrence gets papped

Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin have been creeped at a restaurant once I think by another patron. And one time she was walking backstage at a Coldplay show and in the background you could see him. But there’s never been a pap shot of them in the same frame with both their faces before. Full Story

Leonardo DiCaprio hosted a fundraiser last night in Saint Tropez to raise money for his foundation. It’s a gala. And he still looks gross. Many of Leo’s celebrity friends showed up to support him. Jared Leto was there. Bono performed (he owns an estate nearby) and so did Robin Thicke. Full Story
Taylor Swift: Globes longest train

Taylor Swift wore Carolina Herrera. I don’t think I saw a dress with a longer train. Guess what I don’t like about it. Yes. It’s taffeta. And she’s meeting her prince with a sash across his chest who’s carrying a sword on his way to rescue her. OK so that makes total sense. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Many thanks to the major players for their Christmas kindness - no eloping, no divorcing, no adopting, no getting caught cheating, no super scandal to interrupt the long holiday weekend giving the gossip business an extended break. Is Matthew McConaughey considered a Major Player anymore? Was he ever? Not being facetious. Just really curious about how you’d rank him. In some conversations, “Major Player” includes a Kardashian. I’d like to believe that that sh-t peaked in 2011.
It’ll be a light week of posting until everyone resumes a normal schedule right after the New Year. For those of you who keep asking about Blake and Ryan though, and there are a lot of you, yes, I do have exclusive details about their multi-destination Christmas. More on that later.
Wouldn’t it have been great to have been in Ireland, at the entrance to St Stephen’s Park in Dublin, to see Bono and Glen Hansard busking for charity on Christmas Eve?
Yours in gossip,
Lainey
From The Sky Down
You’ll have to excuse the huge Canadian flag plastered all over this article. It’s just... there was a lot of swagger to go around last night at the opening of the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival as Bono and the Edge arrived to screen Davis Guggenheim’s From The Sky Down, a documentary about Achtung Baby, the album that brought the band back from the brink. Full Story
A face untouched
Christy Turlington attended the Modelinia Beautiful Friends Forever Bracelets event in NY yesterday to Benefit Save The Children. We debate a lot about who’s had what done and how etc etc etc and we disagree on a lot too but can we agree to agree all the time, every single day that this is all natural and perfect? Always? I will FIGHT you on it. Full Story
Madonna, Sean, and Elvis
I always wished Madonna’s birthday was not on August 16. Because August 16 is when Elvis died. It seemed like bad luck to me. I’ve mentioned my Elvis obsession when I was younger, right? One of the details that always upset me was how heavy his coffin was. Oh Elvis. Anyway, today is Madonna’s 52nd. Full Story
Bono on break
As you know, Bono had emergency back surgery in May necessitating the postponement of the North American leg of the U2 360 Degree tour until fall. He’s been convalescing at his home Eze-sur-Mer but on Sunday borrowed Sir Philip Green’s (Topshop) helicopter to go house shopping in Nice close to where the Brange and the Beckhams live. Full Story
Ben Barnes, Oscar Wilde, CS Lewis, and Bono
Movie release dates are very confusing. I thought Dorian Gray was out a long time ago. And it’s available now on Air Canada, at least it was when we flew Toronto to Frankfurt en route to Nice. So I thought it had already opened in North America but now I’m not entirely sure since Ben Barnes was promoting it today in Spain. Full Story
