BRITNEY SNUBS BONO'S KIDS

Pop princess Britney Spears snubbed rock legend Bono after a gig in Ireland last week, by refusing to meet his kids.

The U2 frontman took his four children to Britney's sell-out concert in Dublin and they were desperate to meet the star backstage.

But an insider tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Britney was having none of it. She just point-blank refused to meet them and they were very disappointed.

"She made some excuse about being too tired. It's ridiculous if she thinks she's too important to meet the offspring of a legend like Bono."

However, the singer was less evasive to some special guests -- according to sources she welcomed Colin Farrell and his pals backstage with open arms.

The insider adds, "Some of Farrell's neighbors were there with their children and Britney had them ushered straight inside."

But where does it end? Do you have to meet his mum, his neices and nephews, his cousins, his second and third cousins, their friends? You know what I mean?

THAT'S A BRIT RUDE!

Stroppy Spears blanks Bono's kids

HERE'S nobody quite like Britney Spears when it comes to erratic behaviour.

According to our spies, the 22-year-old diva "had a turn" following one of her gigs in Dublin last week.

And who was it that rattled the poor poppet? Step forward the children of rock legend and all-round decent bloke Bono.

The U2 frontman's kids were at the concert and wanted to meet Brit backstage after the gig. As it turned out, that was easier said than done.

"Britney was having none of it," an insider reveals. "She just point-blank refused to meet them and they were very disappointed.

"She made some excuse about being too tired. It's ridiculous if she thinks she's too important to meet the offspring of a legend like Bono."

Interestingly, the pop princess managed to perk up quickly - and not everyone was turned away from her holiness.

Our source added: "Some of Colin Farrell's neighbours were there with their children and Britney had them ushered straight inside."

Perhaps the change in attitude had something to do with Britney's fling with 28-year-old Farrell last year.

"He's a great looking guy," says our insider. "Colin's hot property right now. So who could blame Britney if she still has a soft spot for him and wants to make a good impression on his neighbours?"

Hmm, one person who might mind is current lover Kevin Federline. The loved-up couple had arrived in Ireland by private jet, before being whisked to the plush Westbury Hotel in a blacked-out limo.

They then spent days holed up in their room. How romantic... just Brit, Kevin, her credit card, 50 assistants, her minders and family.

According to our source: "She arrived in Ireland with 10 bouncers and they guarded her hotel room round the clock.

"It seemed like the only time she left was to perform and to shop."

The star even had designer store Brown Thomas open just for her.

"The visit and details of what she bought had to be kept secret," added our insider.

"Kevin's main role appeared to be chief bag carrier."

So let's get this straight, Brit... you snubbed Ireland's rock royalty, hardly left your room and only sneaked into stores when your fans weren't around.

Enjoy your visit to the Emerald Isle, did you?
