Bono Wilde at Book Signing ...

U2 frontman Bono is world renowned for his public persona and huge charisma once the cameras are pointed in his general direction so we were glad he didn't under-perform at a book signing at Easons on Saturday...

When the U2 machine rolls into town you can bet-your-bottom-dollar (and you'll need it) that Bono won't be afraid to ham-it-up and give the cameras another unique and spontaneous photo opportunity.

Last Saturday Mr. Vox didn't disappoint as he flitted around the media packed book store on O'Connell Street defacing posters of Irish literary giants James Joyce and Oscar Wilde.

The world renowned singer and human rights campaigner 'Bono-ized' two of our greatest sons giving Wilde a set of Fly Shades and Joyce what looked like a dubious Doobie!

The singer was out with Guggi at Lillies Bordello on Friday night with his head totally shaved - we wonder will Guggi now chop off his trademark blonde locks?
