Amal Clooney brings some glamour to her English wedding reception: fab or fug?

FFN_Clooney_Amal_FLYUK_102514_51567738

Amal Clooney brought the “gangster’s mistress” glamour to her second wedding celebration/reception in England on Saturday. As widely reported late last week, George Clooney, Amal and her parents did some sort of private celebration for about 90 guests at the Danesfield House Hotel in Marlow, England. I guess her parents sent out the invites? And George had to fly in from LA just for this. Amal and George’s honeymoon was pretty brief – they both went back to work quickly and it seems they’re already doing the separate-lives thing. It also seems like most of the guests were from Amal’s circle, her friends and family.

These are some pics from George and Amal’s entrance to the Danesfield House – the paps got shots of them in the car. As I said, I think Amal looks glamorous, but she is giving me an old-school gangster’s girlfriend vibe. I think it’s the hair, the strong makeup and the gold dress. Plus, I think she’s wearing a fur coat.

Meanwhile, Rande Gerber told People Magazine that Amal is perfect for George because of course. Amal is perfect. She’s self-confident without being conceited, she has a “devastating” sense of humor, she’s stylish, she has a law degree, she has great hair, she’s a loving aunt and marrying George Clooney was only a minor interruption from her brilliant legal career. It’s like Amal was built in a factory!

Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber spent a raucous three days in Italy celebrating George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin’s wedding. And by the end of it, they knew they were looking at a couple of soul mates.

“I’ve been friends with George probably half my life. And it’s just great that he found someone,” Gerber told PEOPLE Thursday at the opening of photographer Brian Bowen Smith’s first solo show in West Hollywood.

Gerber, 52, and Crawford, 48, married since 1998, looked like a couple of newlyweds themselves as they stole kisses on their way into the show. And Gerber – longtime BFFs with Clooney, and vacation neighbors in Mexico – also expounded on why he thinks Amal is so great for George.

“She’s really perfect for him,” he said. “She’s smart and she’s beautiful, engaging. She is, again … smart, but she doesn’t make you feel stupid! She’s a great girl, and together I think they can do some incredible things.”

[From People]

But is she “smart”? Yeah, I actually believe she IS a smart lady. Which makes me wonder what Amal and George will really have in common in the long run. George is “Hollywood smart,” meaning he’s smarter than the average movie star. But I do wonder if George is smart enough to keep up with Amal long-term.

      • Celia says:

        I don’t believe that Amal Alamuddin is truly a great or nice person at all.

      • FLORC says:

        Celia
        At this point that;s really hard to tell. As of now no one has come forward telling tales of mean girl Amal and her crumby personality. And while I think if there was a story like that out it would have out by now. I also believe George might have squashed it before it went to print. But to not even hear a hint of that so far makes me think she’s nice enough.

        I don’t believe she’s as great as the pr is making her out to be, but more because they’re approaching sainthood in the descriptions.

      • Celia says:

        No “mean girl” stories? LOL. I guess if not being a nice person automatically qualifies you as a mean girl. I don’t think that she is really a very nice person.

    • Mallory says:

      Lol so true!

    • boredblond says:

      Kinda? Looks like it came from the bunny ranch garage sale.

    • Elle says:

      Holy hell. It’s the lost Kardashian …

    • MariPoodle says:

      I’m sure in real life she’s a nice person, but the title of this website is CeleBITCHY and I come here because the comments are hilarious and entertaining. In no way to I take any of it to heart or do I feel it is a comment on her real worth as a human being. But you have to realize there were probably a few very well paid stylists and designers putting together her outfits, doing her makeup, hair, mani/pedi and the entire package. We’re snarking on them as much as anything.
      *snaps* in the air, tosses head and walks away with best Drag Queen attitude

    • karen scharps says:

      She looks like an old hooker in these pictures.

    • Alice says:

      She’s dressed for the Middle Eastern crowd, would be my guess. Having been to a few weddings of that sort (and a fashion show or two in the ME), their idea of glamour is rather different than ours. This party is put on by her parents for, in part, the ME family. Giving them what they expect, ME glamour-wise, is probably a nod of respect/prestige towards her parents rather than what she would probably wear otherwise.

      Trust me, she could have done way worse in that respect, this is conservative and tasteful if you take into account ME tastes.

  2. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    She looks about as excited for yet another wedding festivity as I am.

    • Abbott says:

      Bingo, GNaT. Looks like she’s not happy about another Casamigos Presents wedding event.

    • Aussie girl says:

      Is it possible that she is as over it as we are…?

      • Sullivan says:

        Yeah, they may still be celebrating the marriage, but the honeymoon is over.

      • LuluBelle says:

        At this point they are just ridiculous. I think this is a business arrangement. What happened to,low key, private George?

      • We Are All Made of Stars says:

        Low-key private George was never really low key or private. As a grade-A closet case, he has always had to charm the media while simultaneously keeping them at a distance in order to live his happy life. He has clearly always had a Clintonesque love of the camera. He can’t do this one in a low-key manner since the entire point of it was to radically alter his public image.

      • Mallory says:

        Are you serious? She is as over the publicity as the Kardashians are. Ergo not at all.

      • Mallory says:

        Agreed Lulubelle, Amal is making Clooney look like a cheap publicity seeking fool. Sorry, but I think she is dragging him down. Next she’ll be suggesting to George that they do a reality show. If she hasn’t pitched the idea already.

      • Santolina says:

        Agree with Stars, above. Cloo-set Case is trying to walk a fine line between keeping the media at bay and using them to manage his image. The whole shaky house of cards depends on people buyin’ it. Is anyone buyin’ it?

      • DrM says:

        Yup and thank you! When I saw the pics I thought “girlfriend looks pissed”. I mean C’MON! they got married!!!! it isn’t a cure for dementia (though this constant coverage might cause it), George is no fool. I have always thought this whole marriage and quite possibly a baby gig was fueled by his desire to run for some kind of political office. Not that that is such a bad thing. The whole romantic ideology around marriage is pretty recent- strategic marriages have been going on for centuries. Good luck to them.

    • Kiddo says:

      But is she perfect for him? Do we know if she’s smart? Can she be smart without making people feel stupid? So many unanswered questions. We must remain vigilant for important details that we haven’t heard before.

      • Abbott says:

        Yes, Kiddo! More details! How did George find this ethereal nymph lawyer? Will the galaxy collapse under her beauty? What’s her favorite celebrity tequila brand?

      • Aussie girl says:

        You crack me up kiddo. You engage me, your funny and smart. By George, you would have been perfect for Clooney.!

      • Abbott says:

        Kiddo Klooney!

      • Kiddo says:

        Abbottuddin (A)Malooney-McLooney!

        Aussie girl, You sound smart without making me feel stupid.

      • mia girl says:

        I just want to know if Bill Murray was there.
        Otherwise, Amalooney is not meeting the contractual arrangement we have that states I continue to be interested in their parties as long as they continue to have Bill Murray as a guest.

      • mimif says:

        SORRY MIA GIRL, BILL MURRAY WAS NOT THERE.

        *burns contracts in Brazilian blowout formaldehyde formula*

      • Vampi says:

        These may be (ARE) the funniest comments in a string of replies I have ever seen!!! My cheeks hurt from laughing!!

      • mia girl says:

        mimif – that sound you hear in the distance is me screaming up to the heavens…
        “Nooooooooooooooooooo!!”

        Bill Murray is EVERYTHING and must be at all parties.
        I am contacting my attorney post-haste.
        I am SO AlmaDONE with these two.

        EDIT – My cracker-jack lawyer was already on the case! He’s informed me that for their breach of contract, Almalooney want to pay me in Tequila and free legal representation should I ever commit an International Crime.

      • mimif says:

        *restores quiet dignity to mia girl*

        ETA: So which International Crime are you planning to commit? Do tell. I can’t wait for the pap* walk!

        *sponsored post

      • mia girl says:

        Thank you. I have composed myself.

        As for my life of international crime, I’m not quite sure.
        But at first thought – it will likely be conspiratorial, involve the Beygency and possibly The Palins and Russian poatoes.. oh and smuggling of tequila across international borders.

    • Kiddo says:

      Since I have been throughly schooled in this subject, allow me to pass on my education. In summation:

      1.They can do WHAT THEY WANT; family party, and so on, and so forth. THIS is NOT your business.
      2.Someone or other, NOT THEM, called the paps. Definitely not them. But even if they did, George didn’t have quiet dignity, going back to the 80’s. I think maybe it had something to do with The Facts of Life. Mrs Garrrett was a scoundrel who hung out with sea urchins, after all.
      3. They LURV each other deeply, and are equals. Cindy Crawford’s mole said so, forcrissakes.
      4. No one kares what you or anyone else on the internet thinks.
      5. Also, you’re probably obsessed with clothes.
      5. You are misinformed. The end.

      • mimif says:

        Florida Mom does not approve of this relationship. She wants these figurines pulled from the public eye immediately, as she does not want her children exposed to this grotesque display of blow outs, overhyped tequila, and the dangerous degeneration of quiet dignity. You can sign her petition here:

        change.org/keepingupwiththeklooneysiskillingme

      • Vampi says:

        You guys are killing me here!!! LOL!

      • Abbott says:

        Mimif! I was waiting for Florida Mom to chime in on the subject. I swear, this marriage is littered with more conspiracy theories than Big Foot’s winter home in Area 51.

      • mimif says:

        I like Kiddo’s Jawbreaker theory. She makes me feel snart without sounding too stupid. And if I ever see you emphatically asking for more details! again, Abbot, I’m sending you a case of Caseofthememegos tequila and a gift certificate for your own certified paparazzo.

      • Kiddo says:

        *Thoroughly*; sorry, tequila Breakfast at GeorgAmaliffany’s.

    • Mallory says:

      Oh please! Clooney starts dating her and then marries her and they are continually doing attention-seeking antics. George was not like this before her. She is the mastermind of all these pr stunts. She loves it all.

  3. aemish says:

    He’s old and they live in two different countries. I don’t get this relationship.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      He’s not “old.” How rude.

      • JudyK says:

        Yes, it is rude, and he is not old.

      • BNA FAN says:

        George is looking much older than his wife because he’s about 17 years older than his 36 yo wife. Also, GC likes to drink a lot and he suffers from some kind of back problem, that’s what I read somewhere.

      • We Are All Made of Stars says:

        I’m going to have to agree with the OP, at least in the subjective sense of the term “old.” Look at him in that picture at the Comic Con or whatever conference it was from a few days back, or even the picture in this post. I used to look at him and think he was an attractive older man, but now he just looks like an old man, plain and simple. Oddly enough, my sixty-three year old mother just told me she had the same reaction just this afternoon.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        He’s 52. He may look older than that, but he is not old. There is no room for debate. I am right about this and I have proof. He’s younger than I am. Lol. So there. Whippersnappers. Get off my lawn.

      • Beep says:

        He just looks old.

      • Antonym says:

        GNAT – I accept your empirical evidence. George is not old. By(e) George!

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        Thank you, Antonym! I love you.

      • FLORC says:

        He’s not old, but he has many issues that come up with age. His back for 1. He could easily have difficulty keeping up with his younger wife physically.
        In that sense referencing his age to her youth does make sense.
        And whenever I hear about age regarding relationships it often is because there’s a gap in physical abilities. And mental finctions.

    • Sullivan says:

      He’s had a bit of an aging-spurt lately. Some people look the same age for years and then it all seems to kind of catch-up with them overnight.

      • GingerCrunch says:

        AGING-SPURT! Hilarious! Although I’d never say it to anyone, boy will I be thinking it as I suffer my 50-something “friends” plastering their photos all over FB. Thanks for the laugh!

      • sienna says:

        You are so right, I just went through one. I looked late twenties for ages and all of a sudden I look at least 5 years older. I blame it on lost sleep!

      • Christin says:

        The term aging spurt is so right. It happens.

      • Samia says:

        Ageing spurt, coincidence? it started last year round the same time he met AAC.
        May be she can be a bit rough, you know in her hi powered job taking notes and looking for marbles, and takes that work home with her. And gets George all Greeced up and down on the floor trying to find marbles too.

    • PunkyMomma says:

      I think he’s ill. Back issues, malaria and who knows what else. In some of the wedding pics, his face looked ashen, even with the tan.

      • melain says:

        I noticed the ash color as well. Which is the impetus for my new and improved conspiracy theory: I think you may be right. George is unwell. And because he has no children, he decided to leave his estate to a woman who would not squander it, but would use it to do some good or at least guide his fortune as he wishes. He also wants to establish his posthumous reputation which will be in good hands with this woman as his wife–or at least in more well educated hands, than, let’s say, a wrestler’s hands. And by marrying, he avoids the legal battles that seem to follow the disposition of many large estates. And this solution was the brainchild of the PR genius he hired to orchestrate his legacy: Amal’s mother. Or maybe it’s time for me to join the fiction writer’s club.

      • Artemis says:

        I bet some moisturizer and 3l of water would do wonders instead of paryting until the late hours (seriously, the dude is like Lohan during promotion tours – without the falling and sh-t). Also, he spends a lot of time in Italy so maybe sun damage on top of the rest isn’t doing him any favours.

        I do think it’s funny that he looked handsome when dating his GFs and the relationship that ends marriage makes him look haggard as f—. Dead.

      • KellyBee says:

        I doubt that if he was ill he wouldn’t be drinking up a storm which he has been doing. Then again his drinking could be the reason why he looks the way he dose lately.

      • Flower says:

        George had (maybe still has) a bleeding stomach ulcer he mentioned it in a magazine article about a decade ago , that never seemed to stop him drinking. At the moment he suffers from splitting headaches, all day every day from the spinal cord injury he suffered during the making of Syriana and still has regular surgery on it.

    • Anne tommy says:

      Wow. He’s old? At what age should all interest in the opposite sex (or same sex if that’s your thing) cease I wonder. Presumably before one reaches George’s methuselah-like level of decrepitude. That said, she does not look classy here and she is very welcome to him.

    • Ruth Dunbar says:

      He’s old(er), wealthy, and they live in two different countries.

      I would sign up for this.

    • siri says:

      He isn’t old- he LOOKS old. I believe he has some sort of an alcohol problem, and combined with the painkillers he takes for his back injury, that can cause trouble with the liver. That ashen/yellowish look he has sometimes might be a sign. He’s probably an on-off drinker, but when he hits the bottle, he hits it hard. Somebody here said aging sometimes comes ‘overnight’- I have the same experience. One morning you wake up , and all of a sudden, you find yourself looking noticeably older than the day before. Very strange, but some ‘damage’ to our cells probably accumulates, and at a certain point becomes unmistakenly visible. I just notice how uplifting this is 🙂 @melain: I strongly recommend you to follow your ambitions as a fiction writer 🙂 Amal is book smart, but real life decisions are probably better left in the hands of women like Stacy. The latter at least seems to have a good heart, while with Amal I would agree, her mother would be the one gladly taking care of George’s ‘assets’. But then he would have to stick with this marriage for good, and that might be a true challenge for him. He married not only a whole family, but a whole region as well. Wonder if he’s aware of that…yet.

  4. Toot says:

    She looks annoyed to me in those pics. It could be from the paps, but her and George just look disconnected. I mean they’re not even looking at each other.

    • Abbott says:

      They were in the same car??!?

      • Toot says:

        I thought they were, but if they weren’t that makes no sense either. It would explain the total disconnect though and her annoyed look.

        ETA: Yeah, they’re in the same care. On Daily Mail you can see their drivers.

      • Abbott says:

        Good looking out, Toot. I guess someone didn’t want to put on their Casamigos tshirt for the ride over.

    • Aussie girl says:

      Toot, I thought the same thing. It could be the paps but they look very disconnected in the car. Maybe we are looking to much into their body language and facial expressions. Or maybe George let one rip in the back..? Lol

      • Jen2 says:

        I try not to read too much into a couple of seconds worth of photos, but these are probably the first set of photos of them not posed and set up for public consumption and they got caught off guard and brother they do not look thrilled and she just looks down right annoyed. But again, it is just a couple of seconds. I am sure the “real” photos with PDA will show up soon.

        I also think she looks over made up and I could be wrong, but I don’t think it is her midriff in that photo but her hand. The dress reminds me of the rather tacky gold lamey (sp) clothing from the sixties and though I am sure this dress cost a ton of money, it looks kind of cheap. Need to see a full length picture.

      • SuePerb says:

        I don’t think they got caught off guard, the paps were all over the front of the venue. On the Daily Mail and Just Jared, the driver looks like he is struggling to see through the flashes. The guy in the passenger front is George’s bodyguard isn’t he? And he is holding a torch, is he using that to try and neutralise the flashes? He looks worried out of his mind. Were the paps jumping in front of the car to get those photos? Maybe they were scared they were going to hit someone at the time the photos were taken

      • Lahdidahbaby says:

        She’s punishing him for something. It’s all over her face and in her posture. He looks beaten. Whatever he did (or didn’t do), he will make very sure not to do it again. At least not just before a papwalk.

    • lisa2 says:

      Why would they or she be annoyed at the paps all of a sudden. They were waving at them a few weeks ago.

      People were commenting about how she handled it all. smiling at the camera. So comfortable with the attention. And that was also before the wedding.

    • Candy Love says:

      I don’t thinks it’s the Paps, they been loving the attention and putting on a show for the media. It seems unlikely that they would be botherd by the Paps now when someone from their camp put out the information of a second wedding to the media.

    • LuluBelle says:

      They are LOVING and looking for all this attention from the paps or they wouldn’t be constantly making announcement and releasing all the detIls of their wedding. Sick of them.

    • Angie says:

      ITA, Toot–they look unhappy and annoyed with each other. Did Klooney castigate his new bride and her in laws for being too overtly Kartrashian with yet another wedding party? Does she resent him for it? Or is she just upset because he didn’t wear his Bugsy Siegal costume to go with her Virginia Hill get up?

    • LonnieTinks says:

      I totally agree. They look like they were fighting. She looks annoyed and disappointed. I remember looking that same way when I realized a guy I was dating at the time, was a total douche tool. I wonder if she is beginning to realize that he is not the prince charming she had expected.

      • Judy says:

        I’m pissed at my husband for at least 10 minutes out of every single day. Last night he was MIA for a good hour and we missed our dinner reservation. You can be pissed at your spouse without it being the end of the relationship, you know that right?

      • LonnieTinks says:

        Of course I know that you can be pissed at your spouse without it being over, Judy, I am very happily married. But sweetheart, if you think it is normal to be pissed at your husband for at least 10 minutes a day, I don’t know what to tell you, there is nothing normal about that. Sorry you are so unhappily married, but no need to troll.

  5. Sarah says:

    I’d like to see a full length of the dress, it shows a good deal of midriff but also has a full slit almost up to the hoo-ha.
    Not exactly what you would expect from her, but I’m wondering if she is letting her true colors show.

  6. Senaber says:

    I hope that’s not a real fur. I know it’s probably “vintage,” but it would ruin my impression of her as a cool, smart, modern woman. Real women of substance need not wear real fur, IMO.

    • PennyLane says:

      It looks like synthetic fur, but without a better quality photo it’s hard to tell…although, I doubt it’s real. She’s no fool, as the writer of this piece pointed out, and it would make no sense to alienate a bunch of people over a pretty coat.

  7. lucky says:

    Her mom has just told The Telegraph that they are now famous.

    • dipptydo says:

      haha people were making fun of the mom’s comment .
      This family is totally in love with celebrity.
      I’m starting to wonder if the star chaser’s story was true.

    • Mallory says:

      I said a while ago on here that Amal is just after celebrity and people came out saying how smart she is etc etc. Nope, I was right. She is just a desperate attention seeker, she is a publicity whore and if its true her mother made that comment, that backs me up. When will we get the Keeping up with the Clooneys show?

    • Ag-UK says:

      Yes I saw that comment as well, my mother would have silent treatment for a few days repeating that comment. They all are loving it.

  8. Sarah says:

    This was also a big, expensive party thrown by her parents, who aren’t that wealthy. They seem hungry for fame, they said in print they “guess they’re famous now” and it seems like the neverending parties are a way to keep the spotlight and perhaps mingle with celebrities.

    • kibbles says:

      Reminds me of the Middleton family. New money folks who invest a ton more than they should on their daughters’ relationships with rich and famous men.

  10. Rita says:

    I’m dressing up as a “gangster’s mistress” for Halloween……..always wanted to be one. Got a toy gun to tuck into my garter. “Forget about it” (Al Pacino in Donnie Brasco).

  11. DenG says:

    She looks bored already. “Are we done yet?”

    • Kiddo says:

      Maybe she’s simply enjoying a Jawbreaker.

      • Sullivan says:

        ^ this made me chuckle.

      • Lahdidahbaby says:

        Dammit, kiddo, you got me again. I effed up my back last night (not in a fun way) and it hurts like hell to laugh, so what happens? I read yr jawbreaker crack with the pic of Amal pulling a long face still fresh in my mind, and almost totaled myself. I doff my hot-water bottle to ya. Now please for the love of god, stop. For the safety of those who live with or near you, I hope you wear a warning label.

    • BNA FAN says:

      She looks bored because her husband left her two weeks after their wedding and spend to next weeks away from her. He came back the night before the other celebration to prove how much in love they are. By the look on her face she’s not buying what he’s selling, jmo.

      • dipptydo says:

        She looks ANGRY. imo

      • Nan says:

        It looks to me like they were having a disagreement and holding it in. Like they were either angry at each other or both annoyed together about something else. There’s a definite unhappy and disconnected vibe. Wow.

  12. loli says:

    OMG! you can see right up her ‘skirt?’ wt living f is she wearing??

    • Jayna says:

      It looks like a long dress that has a split that probably looks fine when standing, but sitting down low in a car, all the folds come open all the way up. You hardly expect to have a photographer get a shot low into the middle of the back of the car like that straight on. I would like to see the gown with her standing. It looks like it might be really beautiful, but I can’t tell. At first I thought her stomach was showing, but that’s arm on her lap.

      • LAK says:

        The daily mail is guess-identifying it as Donna Karan New York – modern icons degrade collection

        The one in the DM’s picture is a strapless, draped and sequined jersey long gown with a thigh high slit.

    • Dany says:

      i agree with Jayna´s observation it looks as if this dress has a long split and the “middle skin-part” ist just her hand on her lap

    • Someonestolemyname says:

      But seated you can see up the split skirt, ….

      Amal is not a babe in the woods either, she should know to be careful.

    She looks like AnnE Hathaway reading her google alerts.
    Cheer up Amal. You got The Cloonarooney AND a lifetime supply of tequila.

  14. Hazel says:

    These are party people! If it were me, having a big party in a big, ol’ country estate-turned-hotel, I’d want the party in one of the original ballrooms–I bet they’re fantastic!–not some musty, old, rent-a-party tent. Bleh. And if the answer is, the ballroom couldn’t accommodate the number of guests, I’d slash the guest list. As for Amal’s look for the evening–y’all have nailed it. It’s Michelle Pfeiffer’s look from the Scarface remake.

  15. Madly says:

    I think she is book smart, but street stupid.

  16. tracking says:

    Maybe she’s not excited to hang out with her parent’s friends? Seems like this party was for the parents. Who knows. But the fact that they seem to spend little time together screams “arrangement.”

  17. Hissyfit says:

    She looks like a drag queen in the first photo. Mr. Bean-ish again.

  18. Renee says:

    I love this – George is “Hollywood smart”, quelle diss, lol!!!!

  19. lisa2 says:

    I don’t think it is fair to write a narrative from a picture taken in a second.

    I have said before that George and Amal have not had the real chance to live as a married couple. Their time together has seemed all vacation and wedding. Fun Fun Fun.

    Now the work of a marriage is not that. It is all those little day to day things that a couple faces. and even if you have tons of money there are still going to be challenges. They have yet to live together and build a life. It is the beginning. And still they have not been together in the same place for a month. I’m sure they are finding things about each other that they haven’t seen or noticed. But if George has to leave and she goes off somewhere then nothing get resolved. They have taken a difficult road to make a marriage of this distance work. One of them is going to have to stay in one place and I don’t know if that is going to happen.

    • Christin says:

      They really have a long list of potential issues. They have financial and career security, but that really seems to be it. If one or both of them are headstrong, set-in-their-ways types, then this is going to be an uphill battle. Two massive egos have a hard time co-existing.

      Add to that what appears to be an overly involved mother-in-law situation, and it looks even more challenging.

      • Jen2 says:

        I think the “we are celebrities now” mom is going to be interesting. Maybe George bought the big mansion in the country so she and Amal could have all the posh parties and entertain and he will live in LA and fly back to show his face every now and again and bring the occasional movie star so they can be in the magazines. It is one thing to get married to someone you really don’t know well (and I am not sure how well these folks really know each other) and live your life quietly somewhere, get to know them, and get over the bumps, but these folks have made their lives a public spectacle and suddenly becoming private is going to be difficult.

        Every expression, every move will be scrutinized and that may not be as glowing as things are now in the press and they are going to have to have some serious asbestos underwear to fend off the flaming they might get down the line. It might be harder for her since this is new, but it won’t always be this love fest in the press.

      • lisa2 says:

        perfect point Jen.

        such is life as a celebrity. Build you up.. then tear you down. You have to have a strong foundation as a couple to handle that. Smarts doesn’t mean squat. You have to be there for each other. Especially when the outside comes gunning for you. They don’t have that foundation yet. Can’t at such an early start.
        I wonder how this will affect her professionally. This situation is different when you have 2 people in Entertainment. Actors/Actresses. This kind of thing is a part of being in entertainment. Most celebrities that have spouses in other fields are not in the spotlight like Amal is. There are many actors and actresses whose husbands or wives have high profile jobs. They are not the lead stories on gossip sites. George and Amal have put themselves out there front and center. Not sure why. But they did and with that comes a lot of backlash and scrutiny. The public likes the new of it and then they get tired of reading about you and then the negative comes. She is not a well established lawyer. She is a junior partner in a firm that does some humanitarian cases and some high profile money cases. I don’t get why people are making her out to be the lead counsel of her firm. this could be positive or negative for her in the long run. Time will tell.
        She and George hopefully have something strong together because as time progresses they are going to need it.

      • Someonestolemyname says:

        These two barely know each other. I agree, most of the months they spent together was sporadic and seemed like holiday hookups and parties from the little Howard Stern discussed on his radio show, where he met her at a party. That might be why George chose her specifically, he can live away from her and return back to the UK for visits and he won’t have to actually live as a daily married couple under one roof. Maybe its just registering to Amal that George’s behavior the first weeks of marriage may be a foreshadowing of how he plans to treat the marriage?

        I wonder if it was George’s plan the entire time to be a drop in husband, while Amal goes about her own business and her mother keeps her company out at the British Estate he bought for her.
        I found it telling that he headed right off to NYC comic con and LA ,having nights out with Randi and pals, just after his wedding, even if it was for work, the film production could have given George two, three weeks even a month ,to spend time with his new wifey. George is a producer on some of his movies, so Im sure he could have worked out some free time with new wife, just after the wedding if he wanted to.
        JMO.

    • noway says:

      I do agree, but who said gossip and “being famous” was fair. I wanted to stop reading these stories as I thought it was too much muchness, but the comments on here make me laugh so hard. So keep on keepin on.

  20. LAK says:

    She’s really striking. Can’t look away from her face in still photos.

    • jane16 says:

      Yes, striking is the perfect word to describe her. She’s not really a beauty. I don’t really like her look here, not into gold lame or whatever, and I think she looks better with more muted makeup. This get up reminds me more of her mom and sisters over-the-top style.

  21. Nene says:

    She looks like Anne Hathaway’s older, skinnier sister.
    And the above photos look like stills from an 80’s ganster classic what with the dress,make-up and suit and black cars with driver.

  22. Amelie says:

    The ‘gangster’s mistress’ comparison may fit. After all, the word for a gangster’s girlfriend in (American) English is “moll.” Get it? Amal is a moll?

  23. Jayna says:

    It looks like they had a fight before heading out. She was so irritated she wasn’t even doing her usual happy look for the cameras, which she knew were there. She’s usually caught looking over towards that cameras she loves her photo-ops so much. She wasn’t even hiding her feelings, whatever they were. George got back in town and they probably had a little fight about something and she wasn’t happy. She had her arm on her lap, no touching each other, even hand holding, and her looks each time were someone distant from their new husband in the car on the way to a dinner for them. Between her looks and he had no arm around her or his hand in hers, that’s an awfully strange interaction of a couple sitting together in a car just married and reuniting after a few weeks apart. Odd body language to go with her unhappy-looking face. The one where she looks over at him or in his direction, since you can’t see him, was priceless. I just think they had words earlier and she wasn’t happy and nor was he.

    • dipptydo says:

      Absolutely.

    • Christin says:

      Maybe because he had time to hang out with Rande and be papped in his tequila t-shirts earlier in the week?

    • MrsBPitt says:

      Maybe they had a fight because she is SO SMART….and George just said something SO STUPID! Amal is thinking, “How could a smart, smart woman, as myself, marry someone who just looked at me and said “pull my finger”!

  24. dipptydo says:

    They don’t look happy. She has b-tch face going on. She looks ticked off about something.
    George doesn’t look exactly beaming either.

    • Elle says:

      Perhaps the mid-life crisis is beginning to fade, and he realized that the PR maybe didn’t need to extend to actually getting married …

  25. sarah says:

    I like her makeup and hair a lot. Don’t like the black fur thing but overall she looks vibrant.

    • dipptydo says:

      Is she starting to do those Kate babyjane doll ringlets? I can’t really see her hair clearly in the photos on my screen.

  26. cody says:

    Her gown looks like a Barbie Doll outfit I just brought my niece. Too me,in the photos, Amal looks very aloof or maybe tired and spacey or she is sucking on a sour gum drop. `I read that they missed Randee and Cindy’s weekend costume party, for Casamigos Tequila, and that Elisabetta Canalis attended, which I find sort of strange. I wonder what George and Amal would have worn to the party?

  27. dipptydo says:

    Amal’s look in her eyes, could freeze the Venice Canals. She looks totally ticked off!

  28. Mallory says:

    Are these two the biggest publicity seekers ever? Especially Amal. The Kardashians are beginning to look normal, shy and reserved in comparison. Please, enough of the Amal/George attention-seeking antics. I am so over them its not funny. Disappear already! Next they’ll make a reality show. 🙁

    • Elle says:

      Frankly, I say let George’s fall from grace be complete, meaning he should star in a VH-1 reality show that airs immediately after the second season of Leann Rime’s reality show …

  29. MediaMaven says:

    I’m thinking there was probably a lot of “Casa Amigo” tequila reaching its expiration date – “GC: Hey Rande, let’s just keep have parties until it’s all gone”…….

  30. DavidBowie says:

    She doesn’t seem as into the attention this time around. Weird.

    • Elle says:

      Maybe she’s starting to realize that she lost a lot of respectability with this marriage and PR show. Lawyers are a conservative, old-fashioned bunch, and it’s still quite a bit of an old boys’ club. Her becoming the trophy wife to a playboy actor, well, I wouldn’t be surprised if that trumps a lot of her previous professional achievements.

      • Someonestolemyname says:

        Does Amal have the power in this marriage to reign George in and get things to HER liking in this marriage if he gets out of hand,hanging with pals instead of coming home?
        “IF” she desperately wanted All this and already signed a Prenup& Confidentiality agreement not to talk about their inner workings of their marriage and real personal life, he might have already gained what he wanted and might not care about her needs?
        Or is it a real love match and he can change his old ways and he’ll go home to wifey and set up home as a married couple living together?

        Just wondering?

      • Elle says:

        Who knows. My point was less about the legal aspects than my experience with the culture of attorneys (granted, not in London or international practice, but I’ve heard from others that it’s even more stilted than in general U.S. practice). The damage is already done: she’s that silly little girl who went off and married an old Hollywood actor. Even if they divorce now, there are still the pictures. And the ridiculous speeches. And Amal playing Trophy Wife Barbie. Maybe not to her face, but lawyers are a brutal group of gossips.

        If they had kept it more low-key, I think she could have gotten away with it a bit more, but the song-and-dance routine of the past few months? For two people who seemed to consider themselves “serious celebrities,” they’re laughingstocks now.

    • Ag-UK says:

      Jeez there is a blog about this woman good God.

    • Dany says:

      OMG someone is so obsessed with Amal that this person made a blog about everything Amal wears and does. This person even posts random advertising posters just because she/he thinks the model looks like Amal! Creepy obsession

      • Nati says:

        I am this person. Just surprised to read such non-sense comments. How many FB pages and websites there are about Kate Middleton ? That is creepy.

  31. kri says:

    You know, I am really sick of the cynicism and naked envy I am seeing from all of you concerning this true love story. If Rand e Gerber testifies, it IS the real deal. If he says she is smart 5 times in two sentences, then she is. She is a great, smart, great girl who doesn’t make him feel stupid. Leave them alone-they want their privacy so they can just love one another. Deeply. Forever”n”ever. He will visit KAY jewelers at least once a month, and she will help him soak in Epsom salts and it will all be so great. It’s a shame the Bard is no longer with us, because I’m sure he’d burn “Romeo& Juliet” and write “Amal’n’George”. So ease off, you common herd, cause that undercover Kardashian and that innocent boy are in lurrrrve.

  32. boredblond says:

    ‘They’ll do great things together’ doesn’t sound like luv..sounds like what was said when Ben met Jerry. If a Kardashian wore this hookerish get-up, you’d all call it trashy. Every move is pr, everything is conspicuously too much. These two just don’t exude an ounce of class.

    • Mallory says:

      ” ‘They’ll do great things together’ doesn’t sound like luv”. Yep. Sounds more like a business merger or some form of arranged marriage.

    • Jayna says:

      The link of the Donna Karan gown someone posted on herI think is pretty, far from hookerish.

    • Someonestolemyname says:

      That get up looks so Vegas cheap on Amal. Feathers and gold lame and with her crotch showing in the back seat, this woman needs to remember Papz will be aiming up her high split dresses and show her wazoo, if she’s not careful.

      Showgirl makeup and showgirl outfit, looks ready for Vegas stage show.

  33. Santolina says:

    Where’s Mrs. Happy Bride? These pics are capturing something we haven’t seen during the carefully choreographed engagement/wedding circus. Her angry bitchface and his distracted aloofness seem more true to the reality of this bizarre marriage that was clearly rushed into and manufactured for public consumption. Someday the truth behind this charade will come out. In the meantime, we’ll try to pretend that money and fame can buy happiness.

  34. TW says:

    Hope Mr. Gerber didn’t run that by his wife… “Does she make you feel smart without making you feel stupid, Cindy?”

  35. misstee says:

    LOL – hopefully we get to see what ‘repent at leisure’ looks like for these two in daily pap shots as they silently annoy the sh*t out of each other.

    After the last few months fiasco and constant media bombardment I couldn’t be more happy!

  36. OTHER RENEE says:

    … and it’s over in 3…2…1

    • Christin says:

      There is still time for an annulment party. I say that only half-jokingly. Does anyone remember Renee Z and Kenny? A quick wedding (though kept private) and an annulment 128 days later.

      Unless this really is a business arrangement, I’m not sure it’s going to last very long at all.

    • steviec says:

      Not so fast! I’ve got six months in the pool (and I was the most optimistic)

  37. maddelina says:

    I think she’s very striking. George doesn’t look so good. Age catching up with him.

    • BlueeJay says:

      Agree – Same with Brad Pitt. These two have had their day. Need to move over for the younger talent.

      • Someonestolemyname says:

        Brad still looks gorgeous and is gnetting better with age, IMO, I like Brad better now, I didnt get the hype when he was younger, I thought he was cute, but now I find Brad Pitt gorgeous. Also Brad’s body is still awesome.

        IMO Clooney is getting a bit of old man face around the mouth, it looks droopy or something and he doesnt have Brad’s body.
        George is an attractive man, but he is looking so ashen, his skin and hair all look the same color lately?

    • Mel says:

      George has a classically beautiful male face.
      Such beauty never really fades. It cannot.
      Very often, “age” only adds an extra edge or appeal to it.
      (Outside of the Hollywood plastic-fantastic culture , that is.)

  38. BlueeJay says:

    Whatever the reason George clearly wants to do everything right for this woman. Never seen him so head over heals before. Got to wonder what she has that the others didn’t.

    • misstee says:

      a penis? a closet full of whips? the ability to drink her own weight in cheap tequila?

      ..and that dress looks exactly like it was nicked from Stacy Keibers Oscars award season dress collection

    • Someonestolemyname says:

      …….Or what He has, that he needs or wants to do everything qucikly?

  39. Miss M says:

    The comments are killing me, lol.

    As for the photos and body language.. the cynical in me wants to think this is all staged, so people can relate to them and show how a real couple they are… I don’t believe in anything that comes from The Klooneys’ camp.

  40. Eileen says:

    When I see these two together it always reminds me of a Viagra commercial

  41. lisa says:

    i wonder what mr bean thinks of all of this

  42. littlestar says:

    I don’t know, I kinda like her outfit! Reminds me of flashy old school vegas, in a good way.

  43. Anotherdirtymartini says:

    All I can say is you guys (celebitchy posters) are cracking me up. SO funny!! Thanks for the laughs 🙂

    Oh yeah, and Amal looks thrilled. Wah-woh..

  44. Santolina says:

    Donna Karan called. She wants her dress back. “Wear my gowns and feel horrible” is not the message she’d hoped would be conveyed…

  45. Celia says:

    I don’t believe that Amal Alamuddin is truly a great or nice person at all.

  46. racer says:

    She’s not smart, she’s educated

  47. rudy says:

    this is not a Relationship with a capital R.

    These two are NOT in love. It is so obvious. Take every single picture of them taken together and they look as in love as Kimye. The only difference is Amalooney smiles.

    I have no idea whatsoever why Clooney did this charade. He has lost all of my respect. A public spectacle made out of complete and utter nonsense. Maybe Amal was in De Nile. but…George orchestrated this mess and rowed them down the canal.

    He made his gondola and Amal will have to sit in it unfortunately. .Honesty is always the best policy in my book.

    • Someonestolemyname says:

      I think it will all come out in the wash one day, even if it takes a few years…..

      Somethings up with George and this does not look like two people in sync or in love, IMO.

  48. Kim1 says:

    You guys are just jealous of their love.Amal is experiencing morning sickness.Happy 1 month anniversary to the Klooneys,I mean Clooneys.
    I can’t wait until George is named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for a record third time.

    Yes I am just kidding

  49. jasmine says:

    oh my god, i’m so sick of her and her face! enough already jeez!

  50. Reece says:

    I like the shiny Vegas dress and gigantor earring(s)…but that’s some Middleton Eyeliner-Level of blush there.

  51. Karen says:

    She could have had a bad day of beauty. The Middle Eastern mothers in my town start waxing their young daughter’s eyebrows and arms as young as 5 years old. And the blowouts-they go to their own salons where it takes 2 or more hours to blow out their kinky frizzy hair. And nose jobs start at 16. Amal is a bit late to the game. This woman needs a staff of 10 to look they way she does-she is no natural beauty.

    • Nimbolicious says:

      You can take the girl out of the Middle East, but you can’t take the Middle East out of the girl. As a proud Lebanese gal myself, I can tell y’all it’s alllll there — the gold lame, the dramatic, harsh makeup, the fur, the constipated facial expression. He’s prolly pissed that he let her outta the manse lookin’ like that. Ten to one the whole fam was dressed pretty much the same…..

      • siri says:

        Ok, and what are the positives about being a Lebanese girl?

      • Someonestolemyname says:

        Her hair is gorgeous, but Im not sure about the ringlets, but I cant really see it clearly in photos on my computer. Is it like Kate’s ringlets?

      • Nimbolicious says:

        Siri: The food! Kebbeh! Fattet hummus! Shawarma! Ergo the facial expressions. We’re always holding in a bunch of gas….

      • siri says:

        @Nimbolicious: I LOVE that kind of food! Baba ghanoush,Baklava, yeah! But I couldn’t eat it every day- now I know, why 🙂 But I don’t think she eats a lot….

      • Nimbolicious says:

        Siri, methinks that mandatory eternal and extreme skinniness is a major component of the Klooney-tunes Kontract. Which merits a serious side-eye from me. Why does a dude need his chick to be that thin, anyway?

      • siri says:

        @Nimbolicious: true, it really seems George likes the girls very thin. Keibler, too, lost quite a few pounds when with him, made her look much older. I don’t know why he finds this attractive, but it sure is a boyish/manly look he prefers…I mean, Cindy Crawford also starts looking this way…Canalis has this look. But if I think of Lisa Snowdon…she has a very feminine frame&face…George remains a mystery 🙂

  52. Synon says:

    I find her incredibly annoying and smug about all the attention. I don’t find her interesting and I’m not impressed by her human rights law career.

  53. Altariel says:

    What’s with the look on George? Has it settled in that he has to actually stay with this one? A wedding is not just a weekend-long party George! It also comes with a (gasp) marriage, Clooless! They parted ways so quickly after wedding. He looks annoyed his fun in the States got cut short, and that he has to play husband again…but not as annoyed as her, lol. But that’s the face we’re used to on him, but not on her…she’s been so happy. Poor girl, if he actually did dupe her into all this. He certainly worked overtime to convince her, and/or the world that this is true love.

    • Someonestolemyname says:

      I wonder if maybe he got the confidentiality agreement and since the prenup is all signed, maybe he has the upperhand and just has turned into the old George and she could see that when he went off to LA to hang with pals.

      People who know George (Randi, Howard Stern 🙂 ) seem to speak highly of her, but George seems to barely have spent much time with her since the marriage.

  54. KayLastima says:

    I am already sick to death of this woman. Just pay her off Goerge and get her the hell off the stage because I don’t have two sh*ts to give about what she wears, where she has been, or where she is going. She is a bore and it is pretty clear to me now that she is a star fu*ker, albeit a “married” one.

  55. csc5 says:

    And the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars is…AmALooney!

  56. siri says:

    She looks annoyed, and I thought he might have told her something not so nice about that outfit/makeup of her’s. It’s all a bit too much of everything. And as we know, George loves the subtle chique. Or, second option, he mentioned that his return ticket is scheduled for the day after already. He travelled with light luggage. But that’s just what she probably comes to realize by now- it always has been, and is, about HIM, and his image.

  57. lisa2 says:

    I wonder why none of his family was at the event. I didn’t see any pictures of his parents.

    • Jen2 says:

      I think the Venice Spectacle was for George’s family and famous friends and this one was for her family and friends and they “allowed” George to attend. It almost seems like two completely separate events for the two families.

  58. Nya says:

    I like how so many of the longest comments in the posts about these two are from people who claim they “don’t care”

  59. scout says:

    I reached for my computer screen to flick the crumb off of her upper lip and then instinctively grabbed a tub of moisturizer for Georgie boy! Sigh!! Mother of two syndrome!!
