Fans of U2 will have five different options when it comes to picking up what version of the band's upcoming album No Line on the Horizon they want.
According to Billboard.com, the record will come in the regular CD format and also a double-vinyl version.
However, three additional versions will also be available. A special digi-pack version ($35.98 US) includes the album, 36-page booklet, a poster as well as a film from director Anton Corbijn featuring music from the group.
As well, a magazine version ($49.98 US) contains the album contained in a 60-page "soft cover magazine-style book" and a downloadable version of Corbijn's film.
Finally, a box set edition ($96 US) contains a 60-page hardcover book, two posters and the Corbijn film on DVD.
The group is expected to launch a world tour in support of the record, the band's followup to 2004's How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.

Katie Holmes loves jungle gyms
Katie Holmes has developed quite a love for childrens playgrounds. Since spending so much time at the park with daughter Suri, she finds herself noticing details that make her want to create a jungle gym herself.
"We were in Berlin and I was impressed with their playgrounds," she told the New York Daily News, femalefirst.co.uk reported.
"It's amazing what you become aware of as a mother. You think, 'Nice wood on that swing set!'" She added: "I've been to the (Home) Depot many times with other moms. I know how to push a cart. I'm not a wimpy girl!"

"I'm not dying"
Through an oddly named spokesman, Michael Jackson released a statement last night denying he is ailing from a rare lung condition and needs to undergo a transplant.
Earlier yesterday, Internet sites around the world picked up a story from In Touch magazine in which author Ian Halperin claimed the King of Pop is suffering from Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, a condition that can be fatal.
Halperin is the author of a new unauthorized biography on the 50-year-old pop star.
"He's had (the condition) for years, but it's gotten worse," Halperin told In Touch. "He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. It's the bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him."
Halperin also said Jackson "can barely speak" and is 95% blind in his left eye.
But Jackson's "official and sole spokesperson" identified as "Dr. Tohme Tohme" said Jackson is in fine health, and is "finalizing" negotiations with a major entertainment company and TV network for a world tour and series of specials.
"Concerning this author's allegations, we would hope in the future that legitimate media will not continue to be exploited by such an obvious attempt to promote this unauthorized 'biography,' " the statement quotes Tohme as saying.

Santa's A Canadian Citizen?
Santa's a Canadian, according to the federal government.
Jason Kenney, the minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, has formally awarded Canadian citizenship status to Santa Claus, the government announced Tuesday.
“The Government of Canada wishes Santa the very best in his Christmas Eve duties and wants to let him know that, as a Canadian citizen, he has the automatic right to re-enter Canada once his trip around the world is complete,” Kenney said in an official statement.
Just three weeks ago, the Conservative government proposed legislation to expand the country's sovereignty over Arctic waters. International law at present states that no country has dominion over the North Pole, but the United States, Russia, Norway, Denmark and Canada have been pushing their claim to the area long believed to be the location of Santa's office and residence.

Duff Denies Virgin Claim
It seems Hilary Duff wants to keep her options open.
In an interview that accompanies a saucy photo spread for the men's magazine Maxim January issue, the 21-year-old Duff denies ever saying that she was a virgin. Not that she's saying that she isn't one now, because "that's nobody's business but my own."
Of course, a popstarlet's virtue status can always be in flux but an interview Duff gave to Elle in 2006 appears to be what's stamped her with the letter "V." In the article, Duff was quoted saying, "[Virginity] is definitely something I like about myself. It doesn't mean I haven't thought about sex, because everyone I know has had it and you want to fit in."
So, to catch up, while Duff may or may not be a virgin, she denies ever saying that she was one (According to the New York Daily News, Elle is looking into the matter). Still, regardless of her real or perceived innocence, Duff tells Maxim that wilder stories about her are equally untrue.
"I've been accused by the press of giving lap dances at clubs. I mean, little ol' me?" she says. "And they're so descriptive about these lap dances. I don't even know how to do a lap dance!"

Perry received a yellow diamond promise ring from her partner this summer and was subsequently forced to deny engagement rumors after she was spotted wearing the gem.
