Bono caught with his hands in the cookie jar?

This is interesting. Wonder if it might bring "Saint Bono" down to earth with the rest of us. Seems kinda creepy to me.

Can you blame him? That brunette is amazing. I'd have no problem taking a picture with her.

He is married, that girl is half his age, and he is up there with the Pope in terms of image. No problem taking pics, but she should have put some clothes on and he didnt need to have her on his lap with his hand on her bare waist.

All of a sudden the name "Bono" sounds controversial.

That was kinda my point. On the surface he's done nothing wrong that a million married men have done before him. Just because you pose for a pic don't make it cheating...that's the problem with the flaccid public wanting to take a celeb "hapenning" & make it more than it is. Bored star gazers. No offense man. Is it skeevy? Sure. But really, scandalous?

And I always found Bono to be insipid & pious...I mean I like the music, but compared to the Pope? Puh-leeeeze. That's Perez Hilton for ya.

Agreed, of course I can't even stand their music. Being charitable is great, but you don't have to make a public spectacle of it.

I think you missed the point of my comment. His hand was on her waist. it was no where near the cookies or the jar.

Page title says it all.

"Celebrity gossip juicy celebrity rumors"

Big deal. I've put my arm around many a young lady's waist for a picture (especially at a gig). My wife has yet to shoot me.

The bigger question is why the hell they'd want a picture with ME.

From the thread title I expected an embezzling scandal.
'Fingering the frosting' would be more accurate, IMO.

I feel dirty now. Not because of the pictures (much ado over very little), but because I clicked on perezhilton.com.

Yea, I definitely see nothing wrong with this.

Everyone has to blow everything out of proportion.
