"The song "White As Snow" from U2's latest album No Line on the Horizon, has been called their most intimate song and is a hymnal to a soldier dying in Afghanistan. It was written specifically for "Brothers" (Sheridan and Bono - Irish brethren - have a long history together, including Bono co-penning songs from "In America" and "In The Name of The Father"), but the band decided to release it on their new record after the film's many delays. The Guardian U.K. calls it, "unadorned, evocative and suggestive. And you don't even have to know what it's about to feel its quiet power or sense its sadness." Presumably it'll be featured in the film's credits.
Update: Apparently there's another song in "Brothers" written by U2 during the Horizon sessions that hasn't been released yet called, "Winter". The track can evidently be heard on the short film directed by Anton Corbijn that accompanies the album in the digipack format".

"Actor Sean Penn filed for “legal separation” from his wife Robin Wright Penn after 13 years of marriage Friday.
The couple are no stranger to break ups and make ups. Penn filed for divorce back in 2007, according to a report in Us magazine, but the petition was later dismissed. Just 3 days later, Wright Penn, 43, filed for divorce.
But in April of last year, the couple requested that authorities dismiss their petition.
It seemed the two Hollywood heavyweights were intent upon reconciling, even attending the Oscars together in February where Penn took home his second Academy Award for his performance in the film “Milk”.

Keira Knightley and James McAvoy Empire Magazine’s 20th Anniversary. "JAMES MCAVOY could soon be a father - he and his actress wife ANNE-MARIE DUFF are hoping to start a family. The pair met on the set of U.K. TV comedy Shameless before falling in love and tying the knot in 2006. And now Duff, who lives in London with MCAvoy, is hoping to extend their family by becoming a first-time mother". Source: www.contactmusic.com Duff is clever, open and thinks carefully about every question you ask her. Except, that is, when you mention anything about McAvoy. What’s it like, living a relationship in the public eye, I venture. “I deal with it by not assuming it’s a relationship in the public eye. You just have to be a married couple.”Is it ever a worry when McAvoy, eight and a half years her junior, goes off to work with the likes of Angelina Jolie? “You have to trust each other. I’ve kissed plenty of handsome fellas in my work, too," she shoots back indignantly. Like who? “Well, Michael Caine, for one". Source: women.timesonline.co.uk

"Variety reports that Natalie Portman and Brad Pitt will star in adaptation of Leanne Shapton's book, "Important Artifacts and Personal Property From the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion and Jewelry". It's a project that won't only merge their acting talents, but also their production houses -- both Handsomecharlie Films and Plan B will produce. Both Pitt and Portman are at their most charming when they're a little out of mainstream focus, whether that be as a head-bopping fitness nut in Burn After Reading, or a rapper on SNL. Together, with a story that's got some damned solid reviews, there's a lot of promise. Now I'm just hoping that Portman grabs Wes Anderson along for the ride -- a Royal Tennenbaums for a slightly different crowd". Source: www.cinematical.com
