U2 Are Infighting About Glastonbury Appearance

By Spinner Editors  Posted Jun 23rd 2011 01:30AM
BonoComing off the biggest, most profitable rock 'n' roll tour in history, U2 are sometimes considered the world's biggest band. But there's one thing they haven't done that most of the other "world's biggest bands" usually do, and that's headline major festivals.

Thus, as odd as it may seem to say it, they might actually be a little unprepared for their headlining slot at Glastonbury this coming Friday night.

Additionally, U2 have gotten used to letting the Claw -- their massive, custom-made, biggest-of-its-kind stadium set -- help them entertain audiences, with its double stages, state-of-the-art light rig and the largest video screen to ever tour with a band.

"[Glastonbury] is about a band being able to get up and play the music and there aren't bells and whistles, necessarily," drummer Larry Mullen Jr. tells BBC Radio 1. "That's a challenge for us and we've got something to prove."

Over 6,000 people have commented on the singer's photo in a variety of languages stating their discontent. According to The Daily Mail, Blunt actually stayed in a five-star hotel before his performance at the Life Festival in Poland.

Chris Brown has found himself in the midst of controversy yet again, this time after he was threatened with a parking ticket. According to TMZ, C-Breezy had parked his hot set of wheels illegally and was in the process of sweet-talking a female police officer into letting him off easy -- which succeeded.

However, after Chris was cleared by the meter maid, he dropped several racially insensitive and homophobic slurs at the cameramen and accused the present law enforcement of calling the paparazzi.

Reportedly, Brown said, "Y'all n----- is weak. Did you all call them to try and film me? Y'ALL N----- IS GAY."

No word on what exactly Brown was up to, but between breaking windows and dropping gay slurs on camera it seems that getting a parking ticket would've been a better choice. Click over to TMZ to watch the video of his rant.

Jennifer Aniston and new beau, Justin Theroux, are super snuggly in two new black and white photos of the couple released Wednesday. Photographer Terry Richardson posted the two photos of the couple on his website after recently dining with the pair. Aniston and Theroux look extremely cozy in the pics.

The photos were taken while out on Thompson Street in New York's SoHo neighborhood, according to Richardson's blog.

The couple recently raised some eyebrows when it was reported they started dating before Theroux had broken up with ex-girlfriend costume designer, Heidi Bivens.

"I know people are saying Jen broke them up, but they had been on-and-off for years," a Theroux pal told PEOPLE. Another source close to Aniston said: "Jen would never hook up with a guy who has a girlfriend."
