In the November 9 issue of NEWSWEEK, there is an article about Whitney
Houston and
Mariah Carey called "The Divas Were Divine" on page 59 (in the
Newsmakers section). The
U2 content is that Phil Joanou directed the video for their new single.
(You may remember that
Phil Joanou directed Rattle and Hum and some other things which involved
U2.)
You can find the article (with a picture of Whitney and Mariah) at
Newsweek online:

here is the full text of the article:
The Divas Were Divine
by Jean Seligmann, Alisha Davis, and
Allison Samuels
You could say it took an act of God to bring
Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston
together. Next week DreamWorks will
release their first duet, a syrupy ballad called
"When You Believe" for the animated
Biblical biopic "The Prince of Egypt."
There's a lot riding on the song's success: in
addition to being the first single off the
Moses epic's soundtrack, it's also the first
single on Carey's greatest-hits collection, "#1's,"
and on Houston's new
album, "My Love Is Your Love," both due Nov. 17. "A
lot of people
were expecting this to be a heavyweight prizefight:
two superstars in the
ring together," says the music video's director,
Phil Joanou. But through it
all, he says, the divas behaved like perfect
angels. Must have been the
divine inspiration.
U2 happiness,
Jane
