Booyakasha! Is that Ali G's grandfather? Nope, just U2 guitarist The Edge at the European premiere of U2 3D in Dublin.

In keeping with the group's legacy of innovation, their latest concert flick, directed by Katherine Owens, is the first live-action movie to be shot, produced and screened exclusively with digital 3-D technology.

This not only allows the audience to revel in the full scope of U2's dynamic live performances, but offers the most comprehensive view of singer Bono's ego to date.

Oh well; we're sure that the proceeds for the night went to a worthy charity. If there's one thing we know about U2, it's that they really, really care. A lot.

We were just starting to get over the fact that Vanessa Minnillo is so much prettier than us, and so much more successful than us, and is dating a total dreamboat like Nick Lachey.

Now there's another reason for us to feel totally inferior to the Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer extra: She's apparently more generous than us too.

Nessa was out for an afternoon lunch with a friend at New York's Pastis Restaurant yesterday when she was approached by a homeless fellow.  The philanthropic beauty reached into her purse and handed over a $20 bill!  Kudos to Vanessa.  It's always nice to see a celeb spread the wealth, even when (unlike some stars) her purse probably isn't worth more than some countries' GDP.

And he was dragging it all over Los Angeles International Airport earlier today.

There's no telling what the Grey's Anatomy star and budding gay icon was carting around in that huge box marked "Fragile." GLAAD Image Award? A dozen new banjos? Make-up gift from Isaiah Washington?

Whatever it is, it must be pretty important to T.R., for him to lug it through the airport and load it into the car himself like that. And his hands-on approach certainly conveys a masculine, burly image.

The adorable little turquoise basket he was also toting around? Not so much. But hey--Rome wasn't built in a day.

Stars (British and American and Irish and...) put on their loudest outfits to stroll the red carpet on their way into the BRIT Awards tonight at London's Earls Court.

At today's BRIT Awards (for pop music), the red carpet saw some pretty "interesting" fashions (that post coming soon).  Among those, we were particularly struck by what can best be described as complete opposites when it comes to lipstick, exemplified by the above.
