MAYBE Pierce Brosnan needs a stint on Dancing With the Stars. The Co. Meath native, who’s currently working on his co-starring role alongside Meryl Streep in the movie version of the hit ABBA musical Mamma Mia, says his dance moves aren’t quite up to scratch. Speaking of co-star Colin Firth, he says, “Colin’s a lot more nimble than me.

It’s going to be a real battle. I’m just concentrating on getting it right.” He’s certainly moving in a good direction with regards to philanthropy, though. Pierce and his wife Keely recently donated $100,000 to fix up a deteriorating school playground at a school on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, where they own a home . . .SINEAD O’Connor says she hocked a few loogies on the petite Prince many years ago during her first brush with stardom courtesy of the single “Nothing Compares 2 U,” which Prince penned. ‘’At the time he had a lot of female protégés and I had covered his song without having anything to do with him,’’ O’Connor said.

“He invited me to his house in Los Angeles and started to give out to me for swearing in interviews. When I told him to go (bleep) himself he got very upset and became quite threatening, physically. I ended up having to escape.’’ The little guy, Sinead says, knows how to duke it out. “He can pack a punch. A few blows were exchanged. All I could do was spit. I spat on him quite a bit.’’
