MR OBNOXIOUS: Paranoid Bono

WE ALL know Bono takes himself far too seriously, but his latest antics show a stunning lack of self-awareness – even by his standards! The U2 star, right, invited an uncle of model Olivier Geraghty, his next door neighbour, over for a cup of tea but asked him to sign a non-disclosure agreement – presumably to stop him spilling the beans about anything he spotted Chez Bono.

Tea was offered after Olivier’s uncle returned a prized pair of peacocks that escaped from the rocker’s garden at his seaside home near Dublin. Olivier tells me at the Biltmore Hotel: ‘Bono invited my uncle to his house. When he got to the door they wanted him to sign an NDA before going in and asked to take his phone. He said no thanks and didn’t sign it. If you were in that situation, you wouldn’t sign it either.’ Quite right!
