Bono's Here, There...and Everywhere

Bono has spent the week rocking all over America in an effort to drum up support for tackling Third World hunger.

First the U2 frontman joined wrinkly rockers the Rolling Stones on stage in Chicago. After surprising concert-goers by performing a quick duet with old friend Mick Jagger he was back on the road. Next day the 42-year-old star appeared with chat show queen Oprah Winfrey and poured his heart out about the plight of the Third World.

And Oprah couldn't hide her passion for the Irish rock icon as she stole his trademark shades and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

But there was no stopping Dubliner Bono as he then rushed to New York to party with his friends in the fashion world after Brazilian designer Rosa Cha invited Bono to the unveiling of his spring and summer collection.

One onlooker said: "Bono was the centre of attention everywhere he went. I don't know how he keeps going at that pace but he is a man on a mission to help the world's hungry."

And after all that the family man still had time to spend with his wife Ali Hewson.
