Don’t know if you’ve seen any of the footage of this at all .....as part of the EMAs - U2 have played a mini-concert in Berlin.
Ahead of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall - they played six songs at the historic Brandenburg Gate in front of 10 thousand people.
I’m still smirking at the fact organisers were so frightened more than the 10 thousand they could cope with were going to turn up....they put up a wall to keep them out.
Brilliant.
Nothing lost in the moment there then.
If you want to see the performance check out below.....
The Brandenburg Gate will always be a spectacular backdrop for anything.
Showing this week around town.....all of these are new to Aberdeen
The Men Who Stare At Goats, Jennifer's Body, and A Christmas Carol 3D
The Men Who Stare At Goats stars Ewan McGregor as a small time journalist who encounters George Clooney's military officer character , one of a group of so-called psychic spies, who were trained to develop super powers.
This is getting mixed reviews.....critics seems to really like it....but Joe Punter ain't so sure. It's got this horrible look about it that all the good gags may be in the trailer and it's got nothing left to give once you reach the cinema. Decent line up though, including George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges, and a goat.....how can it really go that badly wrong?
Jennifer's Body stars Megan Fox as a very evil man eating high school girl....and when I say man eating....she's literally chowing down. Sounds like a great way to go, if you ask me.
It's a comedy horror flick, and if you're the right age you're gonna love it. Also stars the very talented Adam Brody, Seth from The OC, who I've always though has a massive future ahead of him.
There's a massive backlash against Megan Fox in America, and I've never really been entirely sure why. I think this one looks OK for a fun night out.
Lastly for today, we'll look at A Christmas Carol 3D, about a month too early, but what do I know.
Hollywood director Robert Zemeckis is the latest to have a go at adapting the classic that is A Christmas Carol.
This one is 3D CGI and stars Jim Carrey as Scrooge, and features the uber-talented Gary Oldman as Bob Cratchitt and Marley's ghost.
Carrey is barely recognisable.....does a passable English accent, but adaptations of A Christmas Carol are only ever as good as their Scrooge, and Carrey seems restrained slightly by the format of it.
Plus, it's out a month too early. Bring me cinema screenings of Miracle On 34th Street with Dicky Attenborough, and It's A Wonderful Life.
Get me those in the cinema, on the big screen for Christmas....and I promise I'll sell you out the door. How about it Cineworld.
Just when you thought it was virtually impossible to hate Russell Brand more.....his friends think he might be about to propose to Katy Perry.
I think I’ll hurl...I don’t like it.
Reports say Russell has settled down quickly with Katy - and he could be all set to take her up the aisle.
Oh.
Can someone file this copy with the clarification bureau please.....
He may simply be flying her to a remote island north of their present location.
His friends say the new faithful Russell is someone they hardly recognize - and wouldn't be surprised if the pair announced a shotgun Las Vegas wedding sometime soon.
The only way I can get on board with this is if he has a bath first.
Victoria Beckham has reportedly bought David a couple of micro-pigs for Christmas.
May sound odd, but I can think of at least one of my friends who would love that as a present.
The rest of them would love it in a sandwich.
How much d you think they cost?
Reportedly...a grand and a half.
Posh, took delivery of the nine-inch, 13 pound pigs earlier this week...and has already nicknamed them Elton and David.
Poor Elt....kick a man when he’s down with EColi.
It must absolutely suck being famous and trying to buy your other half something exclusive and different as a gift....but not get discovered doing it.
And live animals of any kind would be the most incredible thing to stash away between now and Christmas.
“Babe, I just went into the cupboard for my pigskin trousers and they grunted at me. I don’t think they’re dead. I’m taking them back. What if they run off when I‘m wearing them”
She can’t be expecting to keep them hidden for that length of time, surely.
And with no-one to look after them.
Hey - I’m not saying she’s cruel....just that she won’t hire another nanny.
Only Gordon Brown could take Alan Sugar and make him a disaster.
Business tsar Alan Sugar was under siege last night after dismissing struggling small firms as 'moaners' who lived in 'Disney World'.
What I want to know is...does he get in on cabinet meetings, and if so....does he make everyone sit in front of him instead of Gordon...ooh...and does his chair have a booster seat?
I have to say - I really, REALLY hate questionnaires of any kind. But...here goes. I'm married to my beautiful wife Lynne. We have a little boy, Joshua, who was born on the 27th September 2006, and two border collies, (a girl and a boy)Bracken and Bailey. Got the daily radio show to keep me busy...and now this. Love weekends at the football doing the matchday announcing at Pittodrie. Outside work I spend as much time with my (small, but perfectly formed)family as possible, with the exception of Wizardora, the mother in law, who I tend to try and avoid as though she was an outbreak of the Bubonic plague.
