George Clooney was on “The Today Show” this morning and Meredith Viera said she was going to ask him about his relationship and sounded all serious about it. She then showed photos of him with Brad Pitt and said “I call that a bromance.” Clooney admitted Pitt was “very handsome.” Viera asked “do you have a bromance?” and Clooney didn’t give a direct answer and said that there is a story that he’s going to be godfather to Brad’s children, and that it’s not true but “I do enjoy hearing it.”
Then Clooney told the story about how he fooled the paparazzi after it was rumored that Brad and Angelina were getting married at his Lake Como estate.
“Two years ago there was a story that he was going to get married at my house. In Italy. In February you would never go to Lake Como in February, it’s kind of rainy. You certainly wouldn’t have an outdoor…
But once the story started all these people started showing up, and I mean hundreds and hundreds of press people outside the house, including people from the entertainment shows.
So I called and ordered high top tables and had ‘em all put out on the front lawn. Helicopters were flying – it went on for two weeks.”
That’s hysterical! Clooney’s much better at fooling the press than some other celebrity whose reality tv show is about to be canceled.
Clooney admitted in March, 2006 that he wanted to rent tables, saying back then “I wanted to rent a bunch of tables and put them outside and get a bunch of kids or something dressed up in tuxes and watch all the cameras come by.” So did he actually do it? He says now that he did and I remember seeing tables on the lawn.
Here’s the clip, thanks to Monkeyboy on Redlasso:

I want George to stop recycling old stories and presenting them as fresh and new and amusing to sychophantic interviewers whose brains seem to turn to mush when they interview him. Tired and cheesy.

Personally, I am sick of all these celebs ‘tricking’ the paparazzi. Whether it’s just for a gag, or for a TV show, it’s boring! If celebs don’t want their picture taken, and they don’t want to be hounded by photogs, then GET OUT OF THE BUSINESS! I realize the press can be a pain in the butt, however it’s what they ‘sign on’ for when they become famous!

I am so tired and bored with George Clooney. I know that some ladies have this thing about George but that is exactly what inflates his ego even further. He really needs to retire because he is just getting too old and pathetic and I know some of you ladies might not like this if you like him but George is a total SKANK.

Hehe, I think its funny as hell. That kind of thing is totally different than “Pop Fiction”. On PF celebs publicly go out of their way to plant fake stories (ie Avril) George, however, put up some tables on his private property. He didn’t court the photographers

George Clooney might be a bit of a man whore, but this joke is funny. The media makes such a big deal out of nothing and he was giving them what they wanted.

watching the interview it was hard to believe it was the same guy who used to bore me. was it during early e.r. that he had his little julius caesar bangs and looked like such an empty headed doof? now he’s charming and funny. i especially liked his comment about having an expiration date on his butt, but that he couldn’t let meredith see it because it was expired. the man was self-depreciating in a humorous way, gave credit to his co-stars, and was polite, well-groomed and well-dressed. (if only some other hollywoodites would follow suit.)
and you can’t say you don’t know what you’re getting with him. any woman who got involved with geo thinking she could change him into happily-ever-after-prince-charming needs her head examined. george is george.

Journey, right on.
He’s funny and SMART. jesus, if 20% of celebrities were as entertaining as him….I wouldn’t be bitching so much on a damn blog about them!
Speaking of avril I hope she chokes on a deserted island with ashton and naomi and the other self-important, egotistical maniacs without talent.

Fraid I gotta give Georgie the old two thumbs up myself. The guy is gracious to a fault, excellent sense of humor, very good looking (however thats more heredity then anything else, so no credit given there), and is really a throwback to how the old hollywood stars, in my opinion used to be,,,Sinatra, Deano, Gable,,et al. George is just enjoying the ride and he doesnt seem too caught up in it or too pretentious. He has also made a few movies that I really enjoyed. Can’t really say I enjoyed his stint on tv because I loath broadcast television for the most part. That is all thank you.
