                        <description><![CDATA[ <p>
Here is the trailer for 'U2 3D', the first ever live-action concert film in 3-D, which is heading for cinemas later this year.

</div>

<p>
Bono will present 'U2 3D' at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival later this month, where a 55 minute preview of the movie will be shown.
</p>

<p>
To watch the film viewers need to wear special 3-D glasses, and only specialist 3-D cinemas will be able to screen it.
</p>

<p>
But that's worth it says Catherine Owens, who directed the movie:
</p>

<blockquote><p>
There is no comparison with a traditional concert film seen in 2D. One minute you are on stage with the band and the next you are at the back of the stadium.<br />
<br />
The best way I can describe it for the viewer is that it's like being on the wings of a bird flying around the concert stadium - it's really something else.</p></blockquote>

<p>
IGN has an <a href="http://movies.ign.com/articles/784/784033p1.html"  title="" target='_blank'>in-depth article</a> about the state of the art 3-D technology used for this movie.</p> ]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[ <p>
U2's Bono and The Edge have signed up to write the music and lyrics for a forthcoming Spiderman Broadway musical.
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.u2boy.nl/u2_news/images/spiderman.jpg" style="border:0px solid" title="Bono and The Edge are writing music for a Spiderman musical" alt="Bono and The Edge are writing music for a Spiderman musical" class="pivot-image" /></p>

<p>
Auditions have started, but no date has been set for the show's debut.
</p>

<p>
It's not the first time that Bono and Edge write for the stage, in 1990 they composed songs for for a Royal Shakespeare Company production of 'A Clockwork Orange'.</p> ]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[ <p>
U2 have announced that they have begun work on their new album.
</p>

<p>
Guitarist The Edge says that the band are working with producer Rick Rubin on the follow up to 2004's 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb'.
</p>


<blockquote><p>We're working on new songs and getting lost in the music, I don't think we're going to try and think too much about what we're going to do with it yet, we're just going to do a lot of writing and just see what gives.<br />
<br />
We're giving ourselves the luxury of just working on the songs. There's some amazing things coming through.</p></blockquote> ]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[ <p>
Bono has been named a 'Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire' in an informal, laugh-filled ceremony in the Dublin home of British Ambassador David Reddaway.
</p>

<blockquote><p>What a great year for an Irishman to receive an award from Great Britain...I couldn't be more proud. I would like to thank Her Majesty's Ambassador for pinning this award on me in my home town, and the band for not bursting my balloon.</p></blockquote>

                        <description><![CDATA[ <p>
According to reports in the Irish media the engagement between Adam Clayton and his fiance Susie Smith has been called off.
</p>

<p>
Last year the couple <a href="http://www.u2boy.nl/u2_news/pivot/entry.php?id=77"  title="Adam Clayton is engaged to Susie Smith" target='_blank'>announced</a> that they were planning to marry this year, but now it seems that their eight-year romance has ended. Sources say that the couple has separated amicably and that they hope to remain friends.</p>

<p>
Smith, a London-based record company executive, met Clayton when she worked as an assistant to U2 manager Paul McGuinness.
</p>

<p>
It's Adam's second broken-off engagement, in 1993 he was briefly engaged to supermodel Naomi Campbell.</p> ]]></description>
