I am always amazed how "stars" freely move around the world when they have certain convictions against them...do they queue up for their waivers like the rest of us?

I remember hearing Adam Clayton from U2 talking about having to get a special visa to tour the U.S. as he has a drug conviction or something along those lines. They would only allow him to remain in the U.S. for 6 weeks at a time. He also said they (the interviewing officers) were always so rude to him.

coke is good to keep a model slim but it's bad when it causes you to be so aggressive that you hit a flight attendant..

This sounds familiar to me, too. Ewen would know the details. We heart Adam Clayton.

No, his visa does not limit him to a stay of 6 weeks (U2's US tour legs are far longer than that), it's that he has to apply 6 weeks in advance of wanting to go to the US.

These days, Adam Clayton no longer keeps a home in New York. A drug bust in the early '90s had begun to cause him increasing grief with the U.S. immigration authorities in the wake of 9/11. "I have to apply for a visa six weeks in advance of travelling and it makes it hard to be spontaneous," he explains. "Even when you do get a visa, when you arrive you get sent to a little back room where they basically humiliate you, then eventually look in your passport, stamp it and let you go. I just wonder if it happens to Paul McCartney?! Maybe not. Maybe being busted with a bag of grass in Japan is a different offence."

Just thought I'd clear that up, being a U2 fan.

A couple of months ago a "model" working with Univision (Spanish tv channel) was deported to Argentina for overestaying her visa.....

Welcome to America! Thanks for clearing up the U2 story! That's the same one I heard alright, but made a pig's ear out of it!!
