Ok....newspaper headlines - the FOBS (thats Friends of Bono)
Some of his famous pals (and there are photos of Bono and that person beside each text, but really ones you mighta seen before - no scanner - sorry! ) - ANYHOW!
Bono and Bill Clinton
HOW THEY MET: In 1992, they were in the same hotel and Bono tried to wake Bill in the early hours - for a chat. But the secret service stopped him. The next morning, Clinton went to Bono's door - for a chat. They've been friends ever since.
MOST RECENT DATE: Bono brought Bill on a tour of Dublin last June, taking in the exclusive Spy Club and dinner in the Clarence Hotel.
WHAT BILL DOES FOR BONO: Gives him credibility on the political A-list.
WHAT BONO DOES FOR BILL: Gives him credibility in the MTV generation.
Bono and Luciano Pavarotti
WHEN THEY MET: Over a meal in Sicily cooked by the tenor who urged Bono to write a song for him.
NEXT DATE: At the end of this month, they will put on a charity gig for Iraqi victims of the war.
WHAT PAVAROTTI GETS FROM BONO: Adulation from his partner, Nicoletta Mantovani, who told him that Bono was her hero.
WHAT BONO GETS FROM PAVAROTTI: Pasta dinners?
Bono and Bob Geldolf
HOW THEY MET: On the London-Irish music scene in the late '70s. Bob and Phil Lynott regularly partied with the young Bono.
MOST RECENT DATE: They often meet to talk about their Drop The Debt campaign.
WHAT BONO DOES FOR BOB: Gives him creative credibility with a bolthole in a crisis such as when Paula Yates's affair with Michael Hutchence was exposed.
WHAT BOB DOES FOR BONO: Brings passion to Bono's ramblings about Third World poverty.
Bono and Salmon Rushdie
HOW THEY MET: On the international party circuit where Rushdie is a regular.
MOST RECENT DATE: Since Rushdie moved to America, the pair see less on one another.
WHAT BONO DOES FOR RUSHDIE: Sticks up for him when Islamic enemies declare a fatwa on the controversial writer.
WHAT SALMAN DOES FOR BONO: Guest appearances. In 1993, when the author was in hiding, he appeared on stage at a U2 gig in Wembley to let everyone know he was OK.
Bono and Naomi Campbell
HOW THEY MET: Through U2 badboy Adam Clayton in 1993, who was briefly engaged to the stroppy supermodel (Bono's daughter was going to be a flowergirl at the wedding).
MOST RECENT DATE: At the supermodel show at the Point this year. Most of the models stayed in hotels but Naomi overnighted with Bono and Ali.
WHAT NAOMI DOES FOR BONO: Provides serious glamour. Christy Turlington and Bono's newest buddy, Robert De Niro (an old flame), were introduced by Naomi. She also turns up religiously for Ali's fund-raising extravaganzas.
WHAT BONO DOES FOR NAOMI: Acts as a surrogate parent for Naomi and helps her fight her serious drug demons.
Bono and Winona Ryder
HOW THEY MET: During U2's Zoo TV tour of the US in the early '90s. She fell for his messianic thing.
LAST DATE: When U2 played in LA in late 2001, loyal Winona turned up to support her favourite band.

WHAT WINONA DOES FOR BONO: Proves he's great.

MOST RECENT DATE: Last October, Woody flew to Dublin for an art show opening. Bono introduced him to The Corrs and Christy Moore.
WHAT BONO DOES FOR WOODY: Agrees with him. Harrelson is an anti-war, anti-sanctions, anti-Third World debt proclaimist.
WHAT WOODY DOES FOR BONO: Makes him look cool. A Texan vegan and self-proclaimed 'grass activist', he's worshipped by the hip crowd.
Bono and Robbie Williams
HOW THEY MET: On the celeb party circuit.
MOST MEMORABLE DATE: At a party, Robbie was staring at a painting and said: 'This is incredible.' Bono replied: 'That's the window, Robbie'.
- if its true!
WHAT ROBBIE DOES FOR BONO: Difficult to say, he once described U2 as the world's worst rock band.
WHAT BONO DOES FOR ROBBIE: Helps him battle his booze problems.
Bono and Helena Christiansen

and finally:
Bono and Courtney Love
HOW THEY MET: Through REM frontman Michael Stipe who introduced Bono to the late Kurt Cobain and his wife.
LAST DATE: Last year, when he agreed to support her plans to sue Nirvana members for ownership of the band's recordings.
