Bono pays Stipe's £6,000 bill...

U2 singer Bono forked out £6,000 for the bill last week for the 40th birthday party of Julia, Michael Stipe from REM's bestfriend. The party in a Dublin restaurant was last weekend and 20 top stars enjoyed 8 bottles of Crystal and a bill came to £300 a head which the U2 singer Bono paid without a second glance.

Among the guests were REM's Michael Stipe, Bono and his wife Ali, supermodel Helena Christenson and the father of her child Norman Reedus, Bono's bestfriend Gavin Friday and REM's bassist Mike Mills to name but a few.

The party went on to just before 2am. The following day Bono didn't turn up until the evening to shoot his new work of art. A short film called "Sightings of Bono."

Taking a break the star popped into the new VIVA bar on South William Street for a wake up cure before popping into Lillies Bordello nightclub on Sunday night. All before another day of filming on Monday.
