Penn announces decision to divorce

Actor Sean Penn is to divorce his wife Robin Wright Penn after 11 years of marriage.
A spokesperson for the couple confirmed the split to People magazine, but she did not give any further details about the decision.
The couple, who began dating in the early 1990s before tying the knot in 1996, have two children aged 14 and 16.
Actor-director Penn, 47, who won a Best Actor Academy Award in 2004 for his anguished performance in 'Mystic River', starred alongside his 41-year-old wife in several films, including 'State of Grace', 'Hurlyburly' and 'She's So Lovely'.
"Marriage ain't easy, but it's great most of the time,' Penn once told an interviewer. "I love Robin. I've always loved her."
Penn's relationship with Wright Penn was his second marriage. He was previously married to pop icon Madonna from 1985 to 1989.
Wright Penn was previously married to the actor Dane Witherspoon from 1986 to 1988.
Penn is currently basking in critical acclaim for directing the film 'Into the Wild', which is nominated for four prizes at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, regarded as a key Oscars indicator.

U2 3D concert film to get cinema release

U2 have confirmed details of the release of their much-anticipated 3D concert film, 'U2 3D'.
The film, which is the first digital 3D, multi-camera, real-time production, will be shown at Cineworld, Movies at Dundrum and Movies at Swords - all in Dublin - from 22 February. It will also be screened at SGC Dungarvan. 
Directed by Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington, the film was shot in Buenos Aires during the South American leg of the Irish band's 'Vertigo' world tour in 2006.
Nine digital 3D cameras were used to capture over 100 hours of 3D footage, which includes performances of U2 classics such as 'One', 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' and 'Pride (In the Name of Love)'.
Along with the 3D digital imagery, the film features 5.1 Surround Sound in a bid to give fans a cinematic experience that is as close as possible to seeing the band live.
'U2 3D' will receive its world premiere at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival on 19 January.
