Eve Hewson, Bono's Daughter, Impresses Critics with New Film



LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Eve Hewson, Bono’s daughter, is impressing critics with This Must Be The Place, her new film screened this week in New York. Eve Hewson appears in the film alongside movie stars Sean Penn and Frances McDormand. But she tells news that she was left speechless once when her dad brought an unlikely friend home for dinner: Beyonce.

Eve is the second of four children between Bono and Ali Hewson. But when Eve approached her dad about pursing acting, her father was against it. She has appeared in the music video For The First Time. But now she is playing the friend of a rock star (Sean Penn).

Eve tells news that her father didn’t initially approve of her entering acing. “When I told my dad he was like, ‘I don’t want you to’, I was like ‘What the h–ll?” She said in a news interview with Rolling Stone that her father remarked “You of all people can’t tell me that. You didn’t listen to whoever told you that when you were 18. So you’re just going to have to deal with it’.”

And while she appears on-screen opposite some major film actors this year, she still was left speechless during one recent encounter. “I was in a pool with my friend Blue [daughter of the Edge] and we just went underwater and screamed and then got out of the pool and hid. So that’s when we used Dad. To get cute boys and Beyoncé.”

Bono Facebook Net Worth Surges From Elevation Partners Stake

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Bono’s Facebook net worth surged Friday. Bono’s net worth jumped today because of the number of Facebook shares Elevation Partners, Bono’s private equity firm, obtained from an investment in 2009. From David Choe, to Yuri Milner and Peter Thiel, Bono is one of the earlier investors who were impacted by today’s FB stock IPO. But news reports that Bono’s personal stake in Facebook is currently at $1.5 billion have seen been proven as simply false.

Yuri Milner and Peter Thiel are usually names mentioned in stories about initial Facebook investments. But other names included two artists being reference today.

Among them are David Choe. In 2005, Facebook hired the artist to paint part of the company’s first Facebook headquarters. Rather than get paid sixty-thousand dollars in cash, Choe asked for shares, and got them. Choe, a graffiti artist, is reportedly set to get a two hundred to five million dollar position with Facebook going public today. He once told Barbara Walters “It’s gonna sound horrible for me to say money is meaningless. But everyone’s like: ‘What are you gonna do now, now that you have all this money and freedom?’ I’m like, ‘I’m still gonna do whatever I want, except more people are just gonna bother me now.’ “

Bono, however, got his investment four years later. In 2009, his private equity firm, Elevation Partners, bought a 1.5 percent stake in Facebook. At the time, that investment was reportedly worth $90 million. News report claim that Elevation was able to increase its position to 2.3 percent thereafter.

While initial news reports today claimed that Bono’s personal Facebook position will be worth $1.5 billion, those reports have since been indicated as erroneous. Those reports mistakenly credited the entire Elevation position as being owned solely by Bono.

Bono NY Times

Bono has been hired by the NY Times. The New York Times Op-Ed has hired Bono. Bono’s editorial page column will start in 2009.

But will this be a Bono monthly column? No. Weekly column? No.

Rather Bono will deliver a mere six to ten articles the entire year. (Talk about lots of publicity and not many words.)

So how much is Bono getting paid for this few articles? “Nothing,” said Rosenthal of the Times to Radar.

Other former contributors included Bruce Springsteen and Larry David.

Bono United States of Africa

Posted: June 2nd, 2008 in Bono by LALATE

Bono

Bono is calling for the creation of the United States of Africa. The celebrity activist is calling for a pan-continental organization for Africa. He made the announcement this week during a conference in Japan.The U2 singer calls the creation of a United States of Africa “the dream”. “I think a kind of broader African identity is going to be very important to deal with tribal tensions” said Bono.

Bono explains his rationale for a United States of Africa:
“Irish people used to always have a little giggle when they would see Americans saluting their flags in schools, and then the whole standing there, singing the flag thing. But as you get to know a little bit more about things, you start to think, ah, there’s so many different tribal groups in the United States, that to create a national identity of that size, they had to really work at this kind of patriotism.”

Bono remains one of LALATE’s favorite celebrities because he has a meaning, not just in his music, but also his existence.

Celebrity Eco Christmas in Barneys Window

Posted: December 5th, 2007 in Al Gore, Bette Midler, Bono by LALATE



Al Gore and Bono are in your Christmas, literally, this Holiday Season at Barneys New York. The department opened their spectacular Holiday windows to shoppers with a suprising theme.

Barneys New York this year for Christmas is green, very green, featuring faces of celebs like Bette Midler, Bono, even Al Gore for an eco-themed Christmas! (You know Al Gore invented Christmas also, don’t you.)

The store’s theme this year is to be green, while spending green, featuring a tree fabricated from FSC-certified wood spreads (we have no idea what that is).

The windows yet again are designed by the brilliance of Barneys creative director Simon Doonan with an eco tree from “Green Depot” as the centerpiece of the holiday display.

“The window displays at Barneys set the creative bar for so many in the retail industry and the fact that they had an interest in using credible ‘green’ materials like Ivy Wood for this year’s construction is very gratifying,” says Green Depot founder Sarah Beatty.

The store ties in products with the same theme including organic denim and cashmere.

Nice!
