"She's the greatest actor of her generation ... She has a very pure spirit and a very bright mind." --Bono

In a recent interview about U2's upcoming 'Spider-Man' musical, the singer insisted actress Evan Rachel Wood, who will play MJ, "sings like a bird" and is "the one to watch."

Typical hollywood lib. It costs $90-$100 to see one of their shows, but he guilt trips everyone into spending their own money on HIS projects.

Bono is a F**KING idiot that needs to go home and keep his F**KING mouth shut!!! I'll never understand why anyone gives a F**K what singers and actors say. Their just as stupid as the rest of the dumb ass F**KERS that think these fools are GOD!!!!!!!!

"U2's upcoming 'Spider-Man' musical."
...am I missing something? That sounds like a Madlib. Lol. I can almost picture it now. The standard issued "change the world" lyrics set to a recycled guitar riff and nondescript melody, all against the backdrop of a misfit Hollywood bluckbuster in stretchy pants. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the man's efforts, they're incredibly noble. I just think he should help the less fortunate through a different medium unless he plans on making music worth listening to.

Since when does being a singer or actor qualify you to be an expert on anything other than what you do . I wish they all would just do their job and go home at the end of the day like all the rest of us . I can't believe the idiots who's lives hang on the actions and opnions of celebrities . Most celebrities show up at benefits and causes to be seen and market themselves . The only one that thinks Bono is cool , is Bono !
