U2 Singer Receives Peace Honor

Bono has been presented with the Man of Peace prize by the Nobel Peace laureates for helping to tackle African debt, poverty and disease. The singer said that it is a very big award for him, and added that it is the closest a rock star can get to the Nobel Peace Prize.

Last year's recipients of the award include Hollywood actor George Cloony.

Pop fans listen up! British starlet Lily Allen has recorded a cover of a Britney Spears song.

Lily has recorded a cover of Britney's smash hit "Womanizer." The rendition was debuted on her record producer Mark Ronson's weekly show last week. Lily Allen has a habit of making such bootlegs, previously recording a cover of Kaiser Chief's "Oh My God."

The British singer's new album is set for release in February next year.
