DISSAPOINTING SELL-OUT OF THE WEEK: Amazing British DJ's UNDERWORLD are set to collaborate with not-so-amazing "look at us were are techno now!" rockers U2 later on this year. Both groups have met to discuss working together on new tracks. Meanwhile, Belfast DJ DAVID HOLMES has been approached to support U2 on part of their PopMart nworld tour. Will the madness never end?? REM singer MICHAEL STIPE is recording a track with British dance stars UNDERWORLD for the new BATMAN AND ROBIN soundtrack. A friend of the BORN SLIPPY band says they are hoping Stipe's voice will gel with that of Underworld vocalist KARL HYDE. The film - starring GEORGE CLOONEY and UMA THURMAN - and soundtrack are due out later this year. We had also reported that the techno savants would be collaborating with U2 in the near future, but we have since learned that perhaps we were hasty in our reporting of this. A source close to Underworld has said, "They are being very cagey about it until the track's mixed and approved by everyone involved." Probably a wise move for both band's reputations. THE PRODIGY have been hit by festival fever - and it's dragging them across the world. The FIRESTARTER group are already signed up for a series of massive outdoor shows in Britain this summer - including Glastonbury and the V97 events, and with more expected to follow. Now LIAM HOWLETT and co. are off to America to appear on the seventh annual LOLLAPALOOZA tour, alongside fellow British dance star TRICKY and SNOOP DOGGY DOGG, BLUR, JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION, TOOL and KORN. The group can't even complete the whole series of shows because of other festival commitments - but organizers are so keen to sign the band up, they're prepared to let them leave half way through. The Prodigy spokesperson CHRIS SHARP says, "The band have got to the stage where they can only do something if the time is right, and they just can't stay out on the road in America for almost three months. They'll be jetting everywhere this summer, and trying to fit in as much as they can in the time." The Prodigy are also expected to appear on the American CHAOTICA tour, appearing alongside Fellow British acts THE ORB and the CHEMICAL BROTHERS. Can't wait for that!! SPEAKING OF TRICKY? The British dance star has just become a movie star - he's in the new BRUCE WILLIS film THE FIFTH ELEMENT. The hip hop maestro plays GARY OLDMAN's sidekick in the futuristic thriller which opens in England in June. He became involved in the production after meeting Willis when the actor played a gig at THE FORUM, London last year. He's also an old friend of Oldman. The film is the most expensive ever made in Britain, costing more than $100 million.
