SEAN OF THE DEAD
Retired Rocker Sean stars with Rocker daughter Eve
U2 SUPERSTAR Bono's stunning daughter Eve Hewson strolls among the headstones of an Irish graveyard with heavily disguised Hollywood star Sean Penn.
The scene captured by a Sunday World photographer is from new €20m movie, This Must Be The Place, currently being shot in Dublin.
The flick stars Bono's pal Penn as a retired rock star who becomes fixated on pursuing the Nazi criminal who tormented his father in a concentration camp.
This scene was being shot in St Fintan's Cemetery, Sutton, where Penn played rock star Cheyenne visiting the grave of his father, who had been a Holocaust survivor.
Budding 18-year-old actress Eve Hewson, who is also a talented drummer according to Bono, plays a gothic-punk music fan who is a close friend of Penn's character.
Home-grown actor Simon Delaney also makes an appearance in the movie which has been supported by the Irish Film Board to the tune of €500,000.
Eve has previously appeared in the indie film, The 27 Club, and currently stars in hit Irish band The Script's new video, For The First Time.
Singer Danny O'Donoghue said: "It was the director's idea to approach Eve. We'd seen her in a showreel and she's a fellow Irish person, so we thought, 'Yeah'.
"For The First Time is a six-minute short about two people from Ireland living in America. We hired actors because we wanted a great performance."
Penn's movie, This Must Be The Place, will be released worldwide next year. The American actor also celebrated his 50th birthday in Dublin with Bono and legendary country singer Kris Kristofferson, all of whom enjoyed dinner at the city's La Stampa restaurant

OFFICE ROMANCE!
Hormones run high among contestants trying to bag a job with Bill in TV smash
LOVE has already blossomed on the new series of TV3's hit show 'The Apprentice' weeks before it is due to go on air, TV insiders have revealed.
As the eight men and eight women contestants were unveiled this weekend, we can exclusively reveal that two of them have eyes for more than the €100,000 top prize.
There are a number of hot singletons among the 16 who have made it onto the show. And only two of them are female.
Among them are Sarah O'Neill, a 30-year old blonde from Dublin's East Wall, who admires strong female figures such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
"She's amazing," Sarah declared.
"She is a strong woman in a male dominated environment. That's applaudable."
Sarah said she could bring a creative edge to Cullen's business and has a good idea of what's relevant to the markets.
The other shapely figure to enter the boardroom, which male fans will definitely take a liking to is Caroline McHugh (26), a newly qualified solicitor from Roscommon.
Dressed to impress in figure-hugging short dresses, the "people person" as she described herself, is sure to attract a lot of attention when the show goes on air later this month. Caroline is also single and she considered becoming a vet or a nurse before she decided to pursue law.
She believes her legal background and great communication skills will propel her to the top of the heap.
Bubbly
"I'm bubbly and a people person so that will stand to me in the competition," she said.
Her role model is Victoria Beckerman who she looks up to because: "She didn't study business but she managed to build an empire.
"In the long term, I would love to be an agent to celebrities and manage them," she added.
Among the other female contestants are an identical twin, a 34-year-old mother of two, an English-born sales whizz and a Waterford woman who was born to an Irish mum and Libyan father.
However, all eyes will be on Caroline and Sarah, to see which one has already found love on the show.
Among the male contestants that one of the women has hooked up with is a would-be pilot, an auctioneering course drop-out and a determined young man of 22 who wants the prize money and a job with Cullen to help put his sisters through school.
Panos Zambetaki does not indicate in his profile if he is in a relationship.
The 33-year-old was born in Greece and was interested in becoming a pilot before being distracted by the fashion world. But he ended up in sales for Google, before walking away from his high paying job for a shot at becoming Bill Cullen's latest right hand man.
Panos, who has been living in Dublin for four years, said he wanted a different challenge with more managerial responsibility.
"I bring a lot of skills to the table," he added.
"I'm good at sales, marketing and my PR and communications are second to none."
Another male wannabe tycoon with ambitions to become a top businessman is Will McCreevy, who at 22 is the youngest male competitor. Will left school to go straight into the bank to make money to pay for his sisters to go to school.
"I need to start to make a wage as neither of my parents worked so I worked my way up the corporate ladder while sending money home to put my sisters through school," he said.
Stronger
The big-hearted young man is determined to win the competition.
"I'm a grafter and a team player and I believe that what won't kill you will make you stronger."
Another alpha male due to make his mark under Cullen's watchful gaze will be Dave Cashman, a 26-year-old Corkman who dropped out of a course in auctioneering to enter the world of entertainment.
He brought English musical acts over to Ireland before realising that he wanted to run his own business.
His working hero is Michael O'Leary of Ryanair who Dave thinks is a genius with "fantastic marketing tactics".
As for what other tactics will be employed by the two love birds on the new show, viewers will have to wait and see when the show airs.

DRAMA QUEENS
Extra brings soap star to tears after mocking
FORMER Emmerdale star Jenna Louise Coleman was at the centre of her own real life drama this week when she was reduced to tears by an extra on the Dublin set of her latest movie on Monday.
The brunette, who played Jasmine Thomas in the hit soap, found herself weeping after she felt she was being mocked by the actor.
Jenna Louise was at the centre of several controversial storylines on the hit soap.
Extra brings soap star to tears after mocking Leeds based Jenna Louise is currently in Dublin working on the film "This is a Test", which is being helmed by Irish Oscar nominated director Ruairi Robinson.
This is Jenna's first feature film.
Retakes
Dublin-based extra 30-year-old Amanda Walsh was an extra in scenes which were being filmed in Dublin city centre.
Waiting around while the crew set up a scene, she decided to amuse her colleagues claiming that she knew all Jenna Louise's lines having heard them so often in retakes.
She then reeled off the script not realising that Jenna Louise was standing right behind her. The stunning actress looked visibly upset.
Miss Walsh returned to the supporting cast green room and told film bosses what had happened.
Shortly afterwards, one of the crew gave a stern lecture to the group comparing Amanda's actions to talking about someone behind their back.
After her initial upset was over Amanda declared that "all those actors are f****** divas" before admitting it was her own fault.
Ironically, earlier in the day Jenna had been all smiles as she posed with Amanda for a picture before filming began.
A bystander claimed: "There was no malice in what she was doing and she didn't realise Jenna Louise was behind her.
However, others decried her actions as "stupid" and "unprofessional."
Amanda Walsh was unavailable for comment when Sunday World tried to contact her last week.
