I got totally turned off going to see this one when I read that on Monday, Bono kept giving shout outs to his celebrity fans in attendance...that's really lame if true...

I think I'd have to leave & go to the box-office and demand my money back. They're all in Toronto for the Film Festival and they're comp'd the best seats and suites in the ACC. Sucks.

Here's a story from an Irish subscription news site about one of those celebrities that he probably doesn't shout out to...

Madonna gets Bono booted out of hotel
Thursday September 15th 2005

He may be a rock God, but Bono is no match for the Queen of Pop.
The U2 singer joined hundreds of superstars on the red carpet for the Toronto International Film Festival this week.

But while Bono may be feted amongst world leaders, he was reportedly pushed aside by Madonna for the use of one of Torontos finest hotels.

The 47-year-old singer joined her husband Guy Richie for the premiere of his new movie, Revolver.

Wearing a sling as a result of a horse riding accident earlier this month, the singer was said to be visibly frail.

But she was still strong enough to order that the staff of the Soho Metropolitan Hotel in Toronto boot Bono out of the penthouse and hand the keys to her instead.

Built across two floors the apartment is one of the finest in the city with spectacular views and several hot tubs. Bono was originally supposed to stay in the plush suite but Madge used her charm to get in before him.

He wasnt the only Irish name at the world famous festival, with several stars of Patrick McCabes Breakfast at Pluto jetting in for the screenings.

The film is packed with Irish acting royalty and counts Cillian Murphy, Liam Neeson, Brendan Gleeson, Bryan Ferry and Stephen Rea amongst its stars.

Gavin Friday even pops in for an appearance as leader singer of a glitter band.

Other Hollywood greats who graced the red carpet included Johnny Depp, Susan Sarandon, Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom.

But neither Bono nor Madonna paid much attention to the other celebs. While Bono sorted out his accommodation worries, the mother-of-two sent out her security staff to sniff out some eateries around the city.

Despite telling reporters that she was fine after her accident, she had to be helped up the restaurant steps by her hubby. He was really taking care of her, said Pierre Jutras about her hubby. The co-owner of the restaurant Nectar co-owner said that Richie was a real gentleman.

But after her earlier stunt its unlikely that Bono thinks Guys wife is a lady.
