He was in town and I missed it? Oh yes, I was playing “Halo 3.” I knew I had my priorities straight. Anyway, Bono received the Liberty Medal in Philly for all his humanitarian work in Africa. He spouted some important-sounding hoo ha:

“Your America is where Neil Armstrong takes a walk on the moon,” Bono said. “Your America gave Europe the Marshall Plan. Your America gave the world the Peace Corps.

“America is not just a country, it’s an idea, isn’t it? It’s a great and powerful idea. The idea that all men are created equal, that we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

and then jetted off to go save other parts of the world. It’s what he does best, unlike, say, make interesting music anymore.

Oh, that John Lydon. What has he said now to stay in the limelight? Well, he ripped into a few celebs during a radio interview. He referred to Sting as “Stink,” saying “That’s like soggy old dead carcasses. You know, listening to Stink try to squeak through ‘Roxanne’ one more time, that’s not fun. It’s like letting air out of a balloon.” Oh, John, you are such a little devil still! Catch you in another few months when you feel like you need some more attention.

Hey, let’s give the gal some more coverage! Looks like the hammer has come down on Britney Spears once again as she has been ordered to submit to random drug tests. Both she and ex-hubby K-Fed are required “to refrain from drinking and using drugs around their two young children and 12 hours before either cares for them.” Of the two, only Britney was ordered to submit to the testing.

“Based on the evidence presented, the court finds that there is a habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol” by Spears, Superior Court Judge Scott M. Gordon said in court documents.

Lovely. The judge also ordered Spears to meet with a parenting coach for eight hours a week. Is it time to place Brit-Brit on an official deathwatch? Place yer bets…

Blah, blah, blah. Kanye West still can’t get over the VMAs and not being chosen to open the show, blah, blah, blah.
