Bono pens Spice Girl song Irish rocker Bono has written
a song for reuniting popstars The Spice Girls which will be included in
the group’s forthcoming greatest hits album and performed on their
up-coming world tour.
Record label bosses are said to be getting jittery about how well the
album will perform when it hits the shops and 47-year-old Bono was asked
to help out with the re-launch of the five-piece outfit.
Posh is already close to the rocker, whose Red campaign raises money to
help victims of aids, and hubby David Beckham has also helped out when
he appeared in a TV advert for Motorola’s Red Razor phone.
The name of the song is a closely-guarded secret but tickets for the girls’
London gig at the O2 Arena in December sold within 36 seconds, with additional
dates having to be added.

DE NIRO ANCESTRY
Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro has revealed that he has Irish ancestry
on his father’s side and has vowed to research his Irish roots in
depth.
Speaking of his love for Ireland, De Niro recalled how in 1962, at the
age of 19, he hitchhiked across the country going from Dublin to Galway
and then took a ferry out to the Aran Islands.
While the actor admits his Irish roots have become a little undefined,
he plans to investigate his Irish ancestry and map his father’s
journey from Ireland to America. |
