Celebrities like Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Cameron Diaz, Orlando Bloom, Salma Hayek, Al Pacino, Edward Norton, Penelope Cruz, Antonio Banderas, Ryan Gossling, P. Diddy, Justin Timberlake, and Kate Hudson have joined with Bono and are urging people to join their ‘one’ voice to ending poverty.
Started in 2004, the organization’s purpose is to “make poverty history.” In a new video on MySpace Celebrity Brad and other famous faces make the case that “every three seconds, one person dies,” and that aid groups all over the world are acting as one to “beat extreme poverty… starvation…AIDS.”
Let me preface this by saying that I do not personally believe there are any sort of shanagains going on here. But I would remiss in my responsibilities to you kids if I didn’t share these pictures of Bono with these two bikini-clad teenagers, that although they are old enough to be his daughters, they are not.
Last month, Bono went to St. Tropez in the south of France for some R&R. While he was there, he spent some time on luxury yacht with with 19-year olds Andrea Feick and Hannah Emerson. Of course these children felt the need to share with all their friends on Facebook these great pictures of their close, personal friend Bono.
The UK Daily Mail reached out to Feick and she told them she’s known Bono for a few years and that their relationship has never crossed the friendship line, “No…God no!’ (she laughed) God no! He’s a friend of mine and that’s pretty much it. I’m not going to get into details, but it’s a small world.”
I admit he does come off looking suspect…but he’s probably this chicks godfather or something. At least thats what I choose to believe. I can’t go on living in a world where Bono is boinking babies.
How cool is it to be Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt? Not only do they have the coolest and most gorgeous parents ever, they have Bono as their Godfather. Most of us have our parents college roommates or something but these kids get to call Bono when Brad and Angie piss them off.
“Brad and Angie think the world of Bono. They have been friends for years. Brad is a massive U2 fan and told Bono how much he admired him when they were introduced at a party a few years back. Since then, they’ve become very close, which Brad is thrilled about. Angelina is inspired by Bono’s humanitarian work and gets on with his wife Ali Hewson. Ali’s given Angelina some clothes from her ethical clothing range Edun.”
Aren’t they all just one big happy international humanitarian family? No word yet on who will be the twins godmother, although some sources report that it will be Angelina’s former lesbian lover Jenny Shimzu. That’s not cool, that’s weird and creepy.
Kate Moss and boyfriend (and possibly the father of her unborn child, if you believe the rumors) Pete Doherty have been inseparable lately. I guess Kate wasn’t at his show last night when he broke a microphone stand and brandished it at fans during a Babyshambles concert at the Piper club. These two have as much business bringing another child into the world as Britney and Kevin do. She may not be winning any mom of the year awards, but she sure does make a pretty clothes hanger.
Ugh! Could Bono just do one more good thing for the world to make us feel worse about apathetic selves? This time he is teamed up with The Oprah to do some Do-Goodin’. They are shopping for a cure for AIDS….CLICK HERE to read the story and realize you are a selfish, self centered slacker who reads celebrity gossip blogs at work all day. You could look inward and make some serious changes, but it’s much easier to just keep coming to see me everyday in hopes of seeing a picture of Madonna’s new African baby. Same time tomorrow?
