Clothing giant Gap has been teamed up with Bono’s (Product) RED campaign for a few years. The organization works to fight AIDS in Africa and raise awareness throughout the world. For summer, Gap has asked several artists and designers to put their stamp on a tee and fifty percent of the profits will go to The Global Fund. Some of the shirts are making there way to stores and online now, others will show up as autumn approaches. I love the red butterfly (pictured above) by James Jean and the tree branch tee by Nomoco. Grab them (here!) while they last

Actress Evan Rachel Wood had a few suggestions for U2’s, Bono and The Edge when they first met. It seems that she thinks their music is a bit depressing.

I was like, ‘Bono, I know you want to save the world and everything, but in this song you’re talking about poverty and world hunger and it’s Broadway. Can we lighten this up a bit, can I just not sing this?’

“He was like, ‘You’re right, I know, we have to try, we have to try’.?

The girl who once dated Marilyn Manson thinks that Bono and Edge are too depressing?

Bono and The Edge are writing the musical version of the Broadway play Spiderman, and Evan will be playing Mary Jane Watson which will debut February 10, 2010.

While U2 may be a band that’s so iconic they’ve inspired thousands themselves, they’re not above publicly declaring inspiration from two of hip-hop’s biggest names - Kanye West and Jay-Z.

Learning from West is easy because he has what the rockers call “the whole equation.”

“I think with Kanye, his understanding of what music, about what fashion, about what politics is — they are all each other,” Bono explained. “Understanding the whole equation is understanding where your song sits in the world. Kanye knows where it sits.”

“This is similar for Jay-Z. He just zones in on the text and he hangs onto the text, the words. That’s his life,” Bono said. “I learned that my melodies — because they were more operatic — my melodies were spoiling my chances to use a certain vocabulary.”

It shouldn’t be any surprise to regular readers that I am no fan of Chris Martin/Coldplay nor Bono/U2.  To me, they are two sides of the same annoyingly pretentious coin.  So when I read this story last night, I literally laughed until my face hurt.

Seems Bono got on British radio to promote U2’s upcoming album, No Line On The Horizon.  Not even two minutes into a live interview, DJ Jo Whiley

asked Bono if he thought that Martin - the husband of actress Gwyneth Paltrow - was as talented as Paul McCartney.

Bono replied: ‘I think he’s that good a melodist, but he’s a w*****.’

For American audiences, those asterisks spell “wanker,” which is apparently serious cussing in England.   Whiley was shocked, and asked Bono if he’d like to apologize.  Instead, Bono just made things worse:

He said: ‘He’s [Martin] obviously a completely dysfunctional character and a cretin”

Wanker?  Cretin?  That’s what I’ve been saying about Chris Martin all along, I just haven’t ever had the opportunity to say it on live radio.  Even though the irony is astounding, I’ll gladly accept Bono as my mouthpiece.

By the way, Bono eventually did apologize, saying he was “joking.”   Sure you were, Bono.  Sure you were.

Shows up and down Broadway are closing daily, but that’s not stopping the producers of a new musical based on Spider-Man from moving forward with their plans.

Spider-Man:  Turn Off The Dark will be directed by Julie Taymor (of The Lion King fame).  The book was written by Glen Berger, and the music and lyrics?  None other than U-2’s own Bono and The Edge.

The $40 million effort, reportedly the most expensive Broadway production ever, will make its debut in the Hilton Theatre, the only venue big enough to allow the superhero room to spin his way around the sprawling skyscraper sets while duking it out with various bad guys.

The show will open next February.  No cast information is yet available.

What.  The.  Heck.   U-2 and Spider-Man are not two great tastes that go great together!  One I love (Spider-Man), and one I cannot stand (U-2).   I actually think the idea of a comic book musical is insanely cool - but I can’t stop shaking my head at this one.

We’d heard whisperings that Bono and the boys of U2 were heading back into the studio but who knew they’d be blessing us with a new release so soon?  Well, they did.

No Line on the Horizon will be hitting record store shelves March 3rd!  The new album recorded all over the world (which began in Fez, Morocco and bounced between their native Ireland, London, and New York) will be the group’s 12th studio album!

As though Bono doesn’t have enough stages on which to flap his jaw, he has now been offered the opportunity to become a columnist for the venerable New York Times.  A spokesperson said:

“We have asked Bono to write an occasional column for the paper next year, covering a range of subjects, but are still finalizing the details.”

Bono would write six to ten pieces for the Op-Ed page, focusing on his “longtime pet causes” - Africa and global poverty.

If he were paid for the gig (and that’s not clear yet), the funds would be donated directly to his charity.

In my opinion, this is the newspaper version of stunt casting.  Is the  Times that desperate for readership?

A-List babies need A-List godparents, and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sure have chosen one for their new twins, Vivienne and Knox.   According to the Daily Mirror, Brangelina have chosen Bono as the newest Jolie-Pitts’ godfather.

Reports say that this is a way to thank Bono for letting him chill at his place in the south of France.   Some house guests leave you flowers or bring you a bottle of wine.  Very few will make you their kids’ godfather!
