Bono helped his wife, Ali Hewson, celebrate her 50th birthday at Michael White‘s Osteria Morini on Saturday night with 20 guests, including Michael Stipe, The Edge and Helena Christensen. After dining on the rustic Italian fare, Bono emerged on the street to see if he could give away some records for Stipe’s band, R.E.M. A spy reports, “He was asking people loitering outside if they wanted a CD. Bono was largely ignored, with some looking at him like he was a crazy person until one girl recognized him and snapped up the disc.” Just as well he wasn’t giving out “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” tickets.
