BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) – Bono will donate one of his guitars to benefit Brazil’s Zero Hunger campaign, the government’s official news agency said Monday.

The guitar will be auctioned off after U2’s concerts this week in Sao Paulo’s Morumbi soccer stadium, according to Agencia Brasil.

The Zero Hunger campaign’s goal is to ensure all Brazilians have three meals a day by the end of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s presidential term Dec. 31.

The rock star-activist met with Silva at the Granja do Torto presidential resort to talk about the government’s efforts to reduce hunger and develop renewable energy sources.

Lenny Kravitz donated one of his guitars to the Zero Hunger program last year, bringing in about $132,000 at auction.

Vince Gill to host TV special

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Country singer Vince Gill will host a television special next month with an unlikely combination of subject and venue: “The Grand Ole Opry at Carnegie Hall.”

The two-hour show March 12 on the Great American Country cable network will feature performances by Gill, Brad Paisley, Alison Krauss, Trisha Yearwood, Alan Jackson, Martina McBride, Trace Adkins and others.

It captures a Grand Ole Opry show presented at New York’s Carnegie Hall in November – the first time the radio program had visited the hall in 44 years. It was part of the Opry’s 80th anniversary celebration last year.

The first broadcast of the Grand Ole Opry, then called the WSM Barn Dance, was Nov. 28, 1925. It is the longest continuously running radio show in the country.

Brit rocker charged with contact with 2 minors

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) – Former British rocker Gary Glitter will stand trial March 2 on charges he committed obscene acts with two underaged Vietnamese girls, the presiding judge said Monday.

Glitter, 61, who won fame as a flamboyant glam rocker in the 1970s, has been accused of kissing and fondling a 10-year-old and 11-year-old and “engaging in other physical acts” at his rental home in the coastal resort city of Vung Tau last year.

If convicted, he faces three to seven years in prison.

Glitter, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, has been in police custody since Nov. 19, when he was seized in Ho Chi Minh City trying to board a flight out of the country.

He is perhaps best known for his song “Rock and Roll (Part 2),” often played at sporting events.

He was convicted in Britain in 1999 of possessing child pornography and served half of a four-month jail term. He later went to Cambodia and was permanently expelled in 2002, but Cambodian officials did not specify any crime or file charges.

Bee Gees reunite after death of brother

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Barry and Robin Gibb, two-thirds of the Bee Gees, reunited on stage for a Miami charity concert, their first performance since the death of brother Maurice three years ago.

The Gibb brothers performed a private concert Saturday night at the Diplomat Hotel to raise money for the Diabetes Research Institute at an annual benefit for the organization, Paul Bloch, Barry Gibb’s publicist, said Sunday.

The brothers performed dozens of Bee Gees hits spanning 35 years, including “Stayin’ Alive,” “Massachusetts,” “How Deep is Your Love” and what Bloch called a stunning tribute to Maurice with the song “Don’t Forget to Remember.”

Maurice Gibb died at age 53 in January 2003 after emergency surgery for an intestinal blockage. He had been admitted to Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami four days earlier and had suffered cardiac arrest before the operation.

The Bee Gees’ younger brother, Andy, who had a successful solo career, died in 1988 at age 30 of a heart ailment.

The Bee Gees had nine No. 1 songs and have sold more than 110 million records, placing them fifth in pop history behind Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney.
