Adam Clayton of U2 has taken legal steps against a personal assistant he maintains assisted herself to millions of his earnings.  The court order blocks Carol Hawkins from selling off assets that would reduce her net worth below $2.9 million, the amount the bass player's attorney's contend she may have misappropriated from Clayton. Hawkins was dismissed in November after she reportedly confessed to unauthorized use of his credit and debit cards to make purchases for herself and her family.  One of the purchases may have been a New York City apartment.
