In what celebrity pundits are calling an amazing revelation, Bono, the lead singer of U2 has stated on the live broadcast of the Brits last night that he wants to join Girls Aloud.
Sporting a fetching shade of eye make up, lipstick and nail varnish, Bono admitted that joining the all girl group was his dream as he presented them with their award for Best Single.
It was revealed to the Irish Rock Legend that the group is called Girls Aloud because only girls are allowed to join.
He was heard to reply: "That's not a problem, the op is scheduled for next Thursday."
The Edge, and the other member of U2 that nobody can remember because he has a normal name, have admitted that Bono has been wearing women's clothes for some years now in private, and will be moving into the public eye shortly.
"In our next gig, Bono has been to the same dress maker as Kylie," said The Edge. "He's got seven dresses lined up and will be tottering around the stage like a butch Tina Turner - and that's butch!"
Adam Clayton (the other member of U2) was less than complimentary about Bono's latest revelation.
"The guy's a fecking idiot, if you ask me," Clayton said.
Larry Mullen, the drummer, was unavailable for comment, as he had not stopped laughing since he heard the news.
