Saint Bono the Tightwad

U2 frontman Bono faced court in Dublin today to give evidence at an appeal launched by the band's former stylist in a bid to keep a Stetson hat she claims the band gave her.

Lola Cassman says she was given the hat and other memorabilia as gifts during U2's Joshua Tree tour in 1987.

But the band successfully sued last year for the recovery of the hat, a pair of metal hooped earrings, a green sweatshirt and a pair of black trousers, which they said she took without permission.

For fuck's sake. You make millions of dollars a year and you're suing someone for pinching a pair of pants and a hat in 1987! What are you doing you idiot? I've seen that hat in the Rattle and Hum video. It makes you look like a homosexual horse whisperer. Let it go man.
