6. Who could forget Nadia Forde’s bio when she was in the jungle

7. And this source wasn’t exactly a solid basis for that info, in fairness
8. When this (entirely accurate) edit was made to Bono’s page
The evolution of Bono’s nicknames:
The gang had a ritual of nickname-giving. Bono had several names: first, he was “Steinhegvanhuysenolegbangbangbang”, then just “Huyseman”, followed by “Houseman”, “Bon Murray”, “Bono Vox of O’Connell Street”, and finally just “Bono”.
9. This anecdote about Brian O’Driscoll at Oxegen 2009 is why Wikipedia is the best
Whoops!

Thank you to the hero who got around to updating it:
Rugby union player Brian O’Driscoll and his actress friend Amy Huberman were in attendance, camping in a Winnebago. Upon trying to view Kings of Leon on a platform he was turned back by security as he did not have the correct wristband. Annoyed at this rejection, O’Driscoll left the festival early and flew to Dublin’s RDS venue for a Bruce Springsteen concert, where he had a much more enjoyable time and cried when The Boss complimented him on stage on his sporting prowess. Pete Doherty, Kelly Jones and Natalie Portman, the latter of whom was seen buying pasta at one point,also attended the Kings of Leon show at Oxegen 2009.
