(Letting it all hang out: Wearing a dark suit and gold tie, Bono left his shirt hanging loose - a tactic used by fat men everywhere to disguise a protruding pot belly)
Here he is:Bono the saint.The Mr anti-poverty looking a few extra pounds more than usual at the Elysée Palace hotel in Paris for a meeting about African development.It looks as if He may have had two Christmas number ones about feeding the world but it looks like Bono was the best fed person over the festive period himself.What's the point if you can't fatten yourself while you are trying convincing the poor you can pump up their hollow bellies as well.The man has got $2 Billion investment fund Elevation Partners in his piggy bank,meanwhile he's been feverishly asking others to empty their bank accounts.Irony just becomes Mr U2 himself.Plus he's not simply coming to France to be a charity missionary,he's hanging with some fit birds too.
U2 can hold my hand: Bono with model Helena Christensen and Penelope Cruz
We've got to hand it to them: Bono and Penelope step out on French sands
The pair as they leave the VIP Room
Up close and personal: Bono and Penelope
Penelope grasps Bono's hand tightly
Time for a Cruz: Penelope and Bono wait for their boat
