Bono making “demands” at NYC restaurant are way off key

“U2′s Bono makes diva demands while dining with the Edge at New York’s Butter restaurant,” reads the super long – and wrong – headline of a New York Daily News piece today.
Not leaving bad enough alone, the story begins: “Diva alert: U2 front man Bono dined with bandmate Edge at Butter… and another person dining there says he had more than a few demands.”
The paper reports that Bono “wanted Perrier, which they didn’t have, so a waiter actually ran across the street to a store and bought him a bottle.” That’s fairly accurate, though Bono didn’t demand that. The item also claims Bono “demanded that his salad be chopped.”
Bono didn’t demand that either. In fact, he asked that the salad be chopped, the same way anyone else would request, for instance, dressing on the side.
When Gossip Cop contacted Butter’s owner, we were told that, contrary to what “another person dining there” claimed, Bono ”could NOT have been nicer.” The restaurant’s owner further offered that U2′s lead singer “was gracious to [the] staff” and “tipped GREAT,” before hanging out for a while at the hotspot.
We doubt Bono would “demand” an apology from the person who spread this false report, though the socially conscious singer certainly deserves it.
