Yep, she's back. From today's Irish Independent:
Former U2 stylist heads to High Court over Stetson tug-of-war
CATHY MADDEN
SHE still hasn't found what she's looking for, but she's not giving up the ghost just yet. U2's former stylist Lola Cashman will make her long-awaited High Court challenge to the decision by a lower court that she must return items of wardrobe to the band, including a pair of Bono's trousers, on Tuesday.
The decision to bring the case to the High Court is a major move by Ms Cashman and her legal team because if they lose the case, Lola would face a substantial legal bill.
The band successfully sued Ms Cashman in the Circuit Court in June and July of last year over a pair of trousers, a sweatshirt, a Stetson hat and a pair of earrings that appeared for sale at Christies auction house in London.
The stylist had worked with the band during the Joshua Tree tour during the Eighties and claimed that the items had been given to her. U2 had written to the auction house to query the stylist's ownership of the items. That led to the court action during which both Bono and Larry Mullen Jnr appeared.
The case came before the Circuit Court president Judge Matthew Deery the morning after the band played Croke Park as part of their Vertigo World tour in the summer of 2005.
A jaded-looking Bono told the courtroom, packed with journalists and members of the legal profession eager to get a glimpse of the show, that the Stetson had taken on iconic status, and giving it away would be tantamount to the Edge giving away one of his guitars.
Judge Deery agreed, saying the weight of the evidence was against Ms Cashman's version of events. He also ordered her to hand over a special Christmas decoration, 88 Polaroid pictures and 117 other photographs of U2 members which were taken during their Joshua Tree tour in the late Eighties.
He was satisfied that the photographs had come into existence as a result of Ms Cashman's employment with the band, and the film used was purchased with money provided by U2.
Meanwhile the stylist has instituted parallel proceedings in the London courts alleging the letter the band wrote had defamed her.
The Circuit Court heard it claimed that the band had taken the action here to hamper those proceedings.
However Judge Deery said it was appropriate that the ownership of the items be resolved in an Irish court. He said the band seemed to be "extraordinarily successful", and it seemed unlikely to him that they would have pursued the claim if it wasn't important to them.
Ms Cashman's High Court appeal is listed for this Tuesday. It is not yet known if members of U2 will appear on the day as they are on a world tour, with three Tokyo gigs scheduled for next month.

, fighting over a pair of trouser in high court! 
In addditon to the incredible number of typos, it just wasn't very interesting. This was her tell all book? Bono obsessing over his height and Larry and Bono fighting over underpants? Oooh and they like to drink! She spend all time on the road with them and that's all she could come up with? My guess is that there is more to the story. Litigation over a pair of trousers just doesn't make sense. She probably knows more about them then they would like. Maybe that's what bono meant in the quote in Ralphie's post. I'm not saying they are bad things just probably private things that U2 don't feel the general public need to know. We know they are very protective of their pulic image. Fair enough. But really, 30 years and only one disgruntled employee? I say that's not bad!
) but got knocked back, maybe somewhat abruptly, and she wanted to get back at him anyway she could!?! A woman scorned and all that!! 
You know, this is probably the only time in the history of PLEBA that we'd want somebody to give Bono back his pants
