As I covered yesterday, Amal and George Clooney had a second wedding reception in England over the weekend. The invites were sent out by Amal’s parents, and as it turns out, most of the guests at the second reception were friends or family of the Alamuddin clan. For what it’s worth, almost everyone who saw the photos of Amal and George in the car on the way to the Danesfield House thought they both looked kind of “over it.” Like, George wished he could be back in LA, partying with Rande and Cindy. Amal looked like she bit off more than she could chew. Is the bloom already off the rose? HA! Of course not. Because George Clooney is perfect and he would only marry a perfect woman. Anyway, People Mag had some details and I just thought you would enjoy:
The party’s not over for George and Amal Clooney. Nearly one month after their wedding in Venice, the newlyweds celebrated again, this time with a party on Amal’s home turf. The Saturday night bash was hosted by the bride’s parents, Baria and Ramzi Alamuddin, at the historic Danesfield House Hotel and Spa 40 miles outside London in Buckinghamshire.
On the guest list: more than 200 friends and family members – more than attended the wedding itself – many of whom traveled from Amal’s native Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Among them were CNN’s Hala Gorani, former Lebanese prime minister Saad Hariri, government ministers and ambassadors from several Middle Eastern nations and colleagues from Amal’s legal firm, Doughty Street Chambers.
“We’re so proud to have George in the family that I’m traveling from Beirut to London just to kiss him and say, ‘Welcome!’ ” one family member told PEOPLE.
Ramzi Alamuddin spoke first to welcome guests and thank them for making the trip to London, according to a source. He then introduced George, who joked to the crowd: “Being Irish, I’m used to large families but this is the first time in my life I’ve seen a family as big as this one.”
“George was very nice, absolutely adorable. Amal looked incredible and they seem very, very much in love,” adds the source. “George went from table to table to meet everyone and at more than one table, when he noticed glasses were empty, he got a bottle and poured wine into everyone’s glasses.”
‘It was a very sympathique soiree,” says a guest. “Very polished and a little low-key than you thought it might be.” Adds another source: “There were no other famous people. It was 90 percent her family. It was a lovely family celebration.”
The Clooneys have both been back to work since the multi-day wedding celebration, which quickly established Amal as a fashion force. No gondolas were involved in the British bash, but it didn’t lack for glamour. Located on 65 acres of formal English gardens overlooking the Thames River, Danesfield House, which dates to 1725, features fairy-tale Tudor-style towers, historic tapestries and ornate ceilings. Guests arrived via a hedge-lined path leading to a doorway decorated with orchids draped over a tree stump. After a reception in the hotel’s main hall – with a high vaulted wooden ceiling and a vast fireplace at one end – festivities moved to a large tent, where tables were set for dinner with black tablecloths, centerpieces of leafy branches and, in a quirky touch, ceramic cockatoos. Potted laurel trees and white roses also decorated the party.
The menu came from the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant, with choices of foie gras or smoked salmon starters; roasted filet of beef, sea bass or a risotto for mains; and mousse au chocolat or a strawberry tart for dessert. The couple also served his-and-hers signature drinks: a cocktail made with tequila, citron vodka, lime juice and ginger ale for him; one with vanilla vodka, passion fruit liqueur and lime juice for her.
Of course George’s signature drink involved tequila (CASAMIGOS TEQUILA IS THE REASON FOR ALL OF THIS!). But I’m shocked (!!) that Amal didn’t bother adding tequila to her “signature drink.” Doesn’t she know that tequila shilling is the reason for all of this?! Divorce in 3…2…1…
Oh, and Amal’s mom Baria Alamuddin apparently hopes that this will become an annual thing – they want George and Amal to “renew their vows” every year at the Danesfield. Yeah, that would be amazing.
Anyway, even though I joke… I think it’s probably a good sign that George flew in to England just for this, what amounted to a Alamuddin family reunion. The marriage is still going strong, one month on!

I really enjoyed this very special episode of Keeping Up with the Klooneys.
Yes and Amal’s mother, pimp momma baria wants this to happen every year!
Why wait a whole year? Bimonthly seems reasonable to me.
Kris has kompetition.
Pimp Mama Baria. This is such an appropriate moniker for someone who seems to rank right up there in the hall of fame of stage mother fameho crazy. Like where she says in the article Kaiser linked to:
“When a departing guest said the couple should hold a similar event every year, Mrs Alamuddin replied: “They renew vows these days, maybe we can.”
We? Good luck with that George. Errr…maybe next time Clooney will learn not to hire what was obviously John McCain’s contractual other vetting team.
Girlfriend is OVER it. We’re not in Oxford anymore, y’all.
I give it 2 yrs tops.
Could that be her Halloween costume? It’s so overdone that it almost seems like a joke.
And those earrings – I have those things on some cabinet pulls and they’re outdated even there.
More on point, why would a 36 year old adult have a signature drink. Isn’t that for frothy 20 somehhings?
“I have those things on some cabinet pulls and they’re outdated even there.”
Best line in this thread. Hilarious.
Something so utterly objectionable about this couple, much more so than the Kardashians.
I stupidly thinks they should know better, and disappointingly do not.
I think this is lovely.
God, People could suck the chrome off a fender.
This just made my morning GNAT.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You officially made my day with your comment.
You win, GNAT. Everyone else can stop trying.
I am more shocked that somebody would drink vanilla vodka – it is THE WORST! Bleh. :/
VODKA SHAMER!
Jk, but I think whipped cream vodka beats out vanilla vodka as the worst.
D: I drink whipped cream vodka with orange soda when I want a sugar buzz along with the booze buzz. I like it. But I haven’t tried it in anything else that I can recall.
I’m pretty content with non-flavored vodka, really.
Hahah, no seriously, I am all for flavoured vodka (watermelon! pear! raspberry! yum!!), but vanilla makes me gag. Yuck!
Funny enough vanilla is the subtle flavor in many items we consume.
And also funny… a popular source of where the flavor comes from isn’t from the bean… Cough*beaverbutt*Cough.
I like flavored vodkas a lot. Which is why I won’t drink them. All I need is 1 bad time of too many drinks to associate my pain with a once beloved flavor.
Sigh, *Goes and sits in the corner with her bottle of Caramel Vodka and 2 shot glasses in case someone want to join me.
Oh come on, cheer up. To each their own, and all that.
*does caramel vodka shooter with SuePerb*
*patiently waits for her to pour another*
🙂
Pours mimif another and gets a bottle of Almirante Ron Miel and bottle of Mojito out of her handbag. Let’s party on sickly sweet sticky stuff. Such Fun!!
🙂
*hurriedly takes one of those pre-drinking hangover preventers & gets the Excedrin Migraine bottle out in preparation for expectant hangover.
Cheers, Sue!
mimif – what is this magical hangover preventer you speak of?? is that a real thing? *fingers crossed its real*
Mimif/Jedi
The charcopills? Are those still around?
“Guests arrived via a hedge-lined path leading to a doorway decorated with orchids draped over a tree stump.”
There was a tree stump in the doorway?
Fancy people and their f****** fancy tree stumps!
That’s it. I’m through with you Clooney!!!!
You’ll be back jaderu, we all say we had enough and that we won’t be back. But we always come back. We’ve all be through so much with the clooneys.
But…ceramic cockatoos. CERAMIC FREAKIN’ COCKATOOS!
Oh. There were ceramic cockatoos? I didn’t read that far.
OK, nevermind, I’m back now.
#Amalooney5ever
To be fair kiddo, this is their 76th wedding party celebrations and they are probably running out of ideas for decorations.
Why not Breaking Bad action figures?
CockaCloonies! (Raises shot of Patrón in toast.)
…and if WE’RE through with them already, just think how they must be feeling.
What I wouldn’t give to see a full length photo of that Studio 54, Sharon Stone-esque, Goldmember piece she’s wearing! SHE’S FOXY CLEOPATRA AND SHE’S A WHOLE LOTTA WOMAN.
Ha!
She looks a hell lot like Janice from Friends…OH.MY.GOD!
Lol, spot on! I can hear the laugh and everything!
Actually, Mia V., I’m kinda thinking she looks like Jeff Goldblum in drag. You know, “separated at birth”.
@PunkyMomma Yeah, she does!!!!
You can see the dress at Net-a-porter.com
Donna Karan New York have tweeted a confirmation. And a tumblr dedicated to all things Amal has a snippet of her attending THE MONUMENTS London premiere in the dress.
You found my Amal tumblr?
I knew that was you! Always asking for more details(!), encouraging others to press on through the incessant coverage, dissecting every theory…how could I not have seen it? Well played, Abbot, well played.
I think this was “mother of the bride” big night.
You know the things sometime to make your parents and a part of the family happy ? That would explain Amal pissed face,like “muuuum really ?”
I hope that story about how their reception party interfered with another customer’s ability to enjoy a tea with their family at Danesfield House gets more play in the media.
George is always going on about his humble Kentucky roots and such, but has no problem inconveniencing another paying customer that made reservation two month in advance to go to Danesfield and instead were told only a week before they were to visit the place that they were going to be downgraded to using the Spa area without restitution just because the Clooney reception was going to be held there.
Not only that, but someone on George/Amal’s team had the woman’s justified complaint removed from TripAdvisor and had her account deactivated. Can’t have the hoi polloi ruining the fairytale image.
+10000
Wow. That goes beyond the inconvenience when they apparently tried to make it disappear. I arrived in Vegas for a conference (my first trip there) and found out my room (reserved three months prior) had been downgraded. When I pushed for a reason, a staff member admitted that several already reserved rooms were redirected to a famous person’s golf tournament attendees. I did manage to get a normal sized room back, but it took some effort.
Her TripAdvisor comment was removed and account deactivated?? Nothing like free speech when in-Konveniencing the Klooneys!
From what I read, the hotel gave the woman a week notice and offered to have her tea party in the spa. I would be very happy to have my afternoon tea in a 5 star spa, they are gorgeous. The woman decided to go elsewhere, there are what, a thousand other places where she could have a special tea party in London. What hotel is going to let an afternoon tea reservation interfere with a major event that will bring them tens of thousands (or more) of pounds in revenue? Honestly, lets have some perspective here.
This is very Lebanese. They HAVE to have the huge wedding. Have to. It didn’t happen in Venice so it sure has hell will happen somewhere else! it will be Amal’s mother. Their social standing in Lebanon must be off the charts. If you have no idea about Lebanese culture – I cannot overestimate how important a huge wedding is to show off. The family will be dining off this forever! no wonder Amal looks fed up. 200 guests? pah that’s nothing! small!
how can Venice not be described as huge? Why weren’t all these guests invited to their wedding in the first place? something just smells a little off about this to me.
Plus wouldn’t it have been more convenient to have all of her family that live in the Middle East travel to Italy, which is closer to them, than England?
I don’t know. Maybe adding another 200 people to Venice would have been hard logistically? no idea. Lebanese families are huge. She may not have seen half of her relatives for years. Its a lot of politics. Perhaps she didn’t want distant relations that she has little contact with to the main ceremony in Venice but her mother wanted to do something for them anyway. Its hard to explain. The Alamuddin’s would have had to do something for extended family or it would have been really bad socially for them.
OK, but the point of marriage in any culture is union and ‘blending two into one.’ It strikes me that these two distinct celebrations appear to be ‘mine’ and ‘yours’ versus ‘ours.’ Compromise and giving is fundamental to marriage and IMO these initial actions on the parts of the spouses (George’s show in Italy and Amal’s in England) show more autonomy vs. beneficence. On another issue also important to marriage, acceptance of the other “as is,” as I have watched Amal’s physical transformation (not George’s), I remembered Shakespeare’s greatest love sonnet:
SONNET 116
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no; it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests, and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
From a distance whatever is going on with Amal & George is not what Will Shakespeare is talking about…
Spot on Louise. Their social standing is high. The guest list included Saad Hariri who is the 4th richest man in Lebanon and Amal is a prosecuting lawyer on his dad’s case (who was assasinated).
Lebanese do go over the top on weddings which generally run (in poor houses) over several days with several events.
You know it could have been worse they could have gone the whole hog. Started with a massive party at George’s home in LA, then on to Kentucky to pick up his family with another bash, then to London to get the Bride and her family (and another party, much bigger than the other 2), then to Lebanon to pick up more family (again, party party party) then on to the countries which relatives are living in exile because of the problems in Lebanon (more partying) before the entire massive wedding party arrived in Venice for the wedding, then back to London or somewhere else for the massive reception party complete with Zaffe in every entrance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDTwQVMMmuU Maybe George and Amal had a Zaffe entrance that is why his back is bad?
Jeez this sound like the WORST nightmare ever.
At least to me.
ha ha no! my husband would not do it. He could not face any of it! but how much fun are they?! Lebanese weddings are massive crazy affairs but the music and dancing are great. The cake cutting with a sword – hilarious too. I think Amal and George did that didn’t they? did I see that picture?
I didn’t realise Saad Hariri was there – very very major for the family to have him there. Huge. Yes, I know my Lebanese. worked in Dubai and married one!
Louise did you have a zaffe at your wedding? I went to a Lebanese wedding once a long time ago they are so great.
+1 caramel vodka shooter. Louise knows her Lebanese and yeah their wedding festivities are a lot of fun!
Clink! Here have a +2
Yep, Arabs have huge weddings.
It’s interesting this one was kept off the mags and the paparazzi weren’t invited. I wonder if it’s because clooney’s image machine couldnt handle the ‘middle easternness’ of this latest extravaganza.
Well, People might have some “exclusive photos” for this weeks edition, so we don’t know that yet.
Yeah I’m surprised more people haven’t brought this up. I went to a Lebanese wedding once and it was raise the roof fun. Very festive & entertaining, tons of delicious food, lots of singing and dancing, kinda raucous but in a great way. Even the old timers were getting up to celebrate. I’ve been snarking on this showmance with the best of ’em, but in this instance I totally agree with you, Louise.
Thank you. My husband is Lebanese, so I really do know what I am talking about!
The most basic Lebanese wedding has ice sculptures and doves released. Seriously! I know Lebanese culture. Everyone would been asking the mother what is happening and it would have looked bad for it not to have happened with extended family, even if she didn’t want to do it (which obviously she did!).
Lebanon is a very small country and like a large village. Everyone knows everyone else and family name is everything. Its an eye opener. Its a beautiful country but not modern in terms of social and relationships. No sex before marriage, that kind of thing. People only live together “under the table”.
I am surprised too that more people aren’t picking up on the Lebanese angle of it. Lebanese have a massive massive diaspora, so she may have an English accent but she is definitely Lebanese.
I forgot. One more thing. An average “normal” wedding is 400 people. If the last wedding you went to was 200 people, then you invite 250 people. Its such a huge part of their culture.
the media is downplaying the entire middle eastern angle in general, which I find rather sad. It made me like george clooney for a minute that he married a woman who comes from a family with one muslim parent, and in general, the lebanese mixed confessional culture is so interesting, and none of this made it into their carefully crafted Venetian story line. I dont think george wanted to be seen hobnobbing with saudis and a hariri.
Oops I meant to reply to your OP, Louise. Anyway, once again I totally agree with everything you wrote. My BFF is Lebanese (it was her wedding I mentioned) so I’m now familiar with a little bit of their culture. Her mother is from Lebanon, and a professor on ME affairs, so it’s always interesting to visit with her and watch her…what’s the word (I’m sleepy still)? Watch her navigate the modern world with a traditional Lebanese background. You’re very lucky to have married a Lebanese man! They are a beautiful group of people, IMO. 🙂
Yes, bros, I agree but I am sure its her accent that is making them “forget” she is really Lebanese. A huge proportion of Lebanese are brought up outside Lebanon/have second passports. They are all desperate to get a second passport. Brits and Americans I dont think can empathise what its like to have a crappy passport and actually see people panic about it.
I digress. I agree. Its a shame but I recognise it all. I would go far as to say that George had no choice for this one and did it for her parents and Amal could have done without it. People will disagree saying they are fame whores but for once I can see exactly how this has panned out.
No sex before marriage? Don’t be naive. You obviously don’t know much aboout Arabs. But yeah Arabs have huge weddings.
However, Amal was raised in London from the age of 2, so she isn’t typically Arab. Having said that, clearly her mother is.
Thank you! they are great fun to be around. They live for today and don’t care about tomorrow. They have a zest for life that is admirable. It rubs off on you. They are always positive.
Beirut is ok, its NOT like Lebanese describe it when you meet them outside Lebanon. They describe it like angels are stamping your passport at immigration. True! The country could be so much if they got their act together and could sort out the politics. The scenery is so beautiful. So beautiful. That part is true. But Lebanon is being left behind other ME countries like the UAE (places like Dubai) etc. It is just stuck.
Great food, great hospitality and they are super educated. Even the most basic Lebanese speaks French, Arabic and English very very well. I really do know how its all gone down with these weddings with George and Amal! ha ha
Where’s the pod? You are an imposter! I am now wrapping up ceramic cockatoos, with sexy moles, who sing the Facts of Life song, in a gold Lamé dress, for parcel delivery. The jawbreakers bubble wrap will protect everything.
Actually THIS will be perfect for you, AmalKlooneyif:
http://memorablemelbourne.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/cockatoo-dress.png
Shit! This whole time I thought they were cockatiels. Ugh. I’m always lowering the bar. 🐦
How else could you drink whilst laid out on the floor?
They served foie gras so this will be the last time I click on anything Amalooney. Disgusting human beings!
Maybe it was ethically sourced foie gras? You know, like from a cockatoo.
I know a couple that had three wedding ceremonies and I’m assuming the Clooney’s did it for the same reason.
Her parents insisted on a huge religious wedding which they capitulated to , they wanted a non religious wedding with their friends and family- they consider that their ‘real’ wedding day, third was a civil ceremony with just witnesses so that the forced service wasn’t the day they were legally bound.
Ceramic bird decorations?? Vanilla (vile) vodka?? A dress that even Vanna White (circa ’88) would have refused to wear while waving her arm and spinning the letters?? I am just…WTF’ing it big time.
So basically you’ve pinned this to your Pinterest wedding page.
I have no Pinterest in marriage, darling. I have pinned it to my Dong Posse Page under “Crap No Dong Posse Member Should Do”
Yasss! Now you just have to link it to Abbotttttt’s Amal tumblr.
How low have we set the bar. Married a month and going strong! Seriously, but lets not forget they haven’t been with each other for at least two weeks of their four week long marriage. Maybe we should wait two more weeks together for a full month celebrations with pink flamingos as the centerpieces now, since she likes pink and maybe we can add vanilla to it.
This time last year, I didn’t know that GC was this much of a famewhore. I think he beats the Kardashian at this point.
And his weddings have important people. OK??!!! Just in case you missed it. I’m surprised he hasn’t published guest lists.
I was going to disagree with they beat the Kardashian part but I get were your coming from we expect that behavior from the Kardashian but not from GC. For the last 7 months I’ve been like who are you and why are you trying so hard.
Within a year I’m expecting not only heavy baby speculation to continue after Amal stepping out in loose fitting tops. But also George to send out feelers on if he’ll run for a political office. You know it’s coming.
Maybe George is going after an international position, but I dont see how marrying Amal helps him in US politics at all. She has a lot of negatives which the entertainment press won’t dare mention right now because it is being fed by George’s PR team and so far this is just entertainment press, but if he ever does run for a office in the US, it is the political press and opposition which will have a field day with her familial links (Uncle) and some of her own clients ( Gadaffi’s, Assange and people who were involved in the Lockerbed bombings , who committed “terrorists acts” ,blowing up an airplane full of people) Amal has a lot of baggage which can and will be used by the political press. The political opposition wont be nice about her or dazzled her or by George, IMO with his own baggage.
I also doubt seriously that the Democrat powerbrokers see her as an asset , not with her representation of the Gaddaffi’s and Assange, way too many minefields waiting to be opened with this woman
She dressed flashy and George told her she looked like a hooker. She got ticked off and played Little Miss Pouty Face. Sometimes she dresses like a toddler. Apparently she acts like one too.
disagree – he wouldn’t buy her a new dress – this is a recycle from January in London at MM premiere – she had to give all the wedding in Italy clothes back to VOGUE
These are exactly the type of connections that Clooney would do well to cultivate, especially if he has his sights set on an Ambassadorship.
I kind of think he has his eye on running for president. I know he said he never would because he has too many skeletons in his closet, and he likes to drink too much blah blah blah, but I think physically, his body is breaking down and it is harder for him to do films studios want him to star in, and he doesn’t want to be like Leonardo DiCaprio, so he is gunning for something. Obviously not in 2016, but perhaps 2020. Let the marriage set and marinate for a few years.
So its harder for him to find films to star in, so he wants to be the number one star of the United States? President Clooney! We are all doomed!!
Agree with Mrs. BPitt. Being the US President is the most stressful job in the whole world. If he can’t take a few months of acting and following others instructions, I do not think he could handle four years of holy hell!!
No higher than a state senate. Let’s be realistic here. He might talk of more and not silence rumors, but he’ll take what he can get. We’ll all be choking on the smug.
She has way too many connections to terrorists to be considered a asset for US Politics. She represents the Gadaffi’s ,and people who blew up airplanes killing people, committing terrorrist acts, not to mention the representation of Assange.
This woman is not an asset for US politics, I doubt the Democratic powerbrokers will see her as one, especially with her representing Assange and the Gaddaffi’s.
George picked the wrong woman for a run at US politics. IMO She has way too much contorversial baggage in her client list and family and oh it will come out, if he attempts to stick his Tequilla soaked toes into a U.S. political run.
She looks like Joan Crawford and a bit of the late Benazir Bhutto. Benazir though, even in her aging years she was truly beautiful. Someone on Dlisted said she looks like Bob Loblaw.
Love the line about how there wasn’t another celeb in sight. As if George would ever subject his high-class celeb friends to a party with ceramic cockatoos and vanilla vodka (looks in vain for the sarcasm font on my computer.)
Seriously though, I think A-list celebs seldom mix with ‘normals’ at social functions – when Jimmy Kimmel got married he joked that he forbid his relatives from even speaking to his celeb friends who attended (the Afflecks and a few others) – and I think he may have only been half-joking. There’s even a photo of all the A-listers sitting together – separate and well away from the rest of the guests – sort of a VIP section as it were.
p.s. It sounds like it was quite a party and a Lebanese wedding might give a Chinese wedding a run for its money in the hootenanny category.
It makes perfect sense that Kimmel would want to provide his celebrity guests with some sort of safe-haven to enjoy his wedding reception.
If they then choose to mingle, dance, etc. they are free to do so without becoming overwhelmed for the entire event.
I read an story about barristers yesterday, and they ask, how does it comes, that Amal with her 36 years, can be in such a possition as a barrister. i dont know, how does it comes that she is doing all this stuff with only 36 years? im just wondering. Shes not the only great barrister from london.
Gulf Arab oil connections = $$$$$$ = Money talks in this world.
I read somewhere that her net worth-I guess prior to hooking up with George-was $2 million. I don’t know if pay scales for attorneys in Great Britain are different, but here in the U.S., an attorney out of law school 10 years or so would probably still be paying off their school loans; I suspect that wouldn’t be making more than $150K per year. So, I am wondering how much she charges for her apparently occasional work as a barrister?
Oh god the whole lawyer thing again..in England, a law degree is a three year undergrad thing, not a post grad degree as it is here. She’s a second chair, and according to the brit papers that formerly swooned got the Greek gig just for the celeb factor–her performance was questioned. In the US if you didn’t have a thicker resume at her age (even allowing for the extra years of education needed) you wouldn’t be considered on track for advancement. As far as money, evidently she’s always lived with her mom, owns no property, so probably has substantial savings.
+1 A voice of reason, who sees past the PR.
Just to clarify…
“The average salary for a Barrister is £48,601(approx. $77k USD) per year. For the first five to ten years in this position, pay increases sharply, but any additional experience does not have a big effect on pay. Most people move on to other jobs if they have more than 20 years’ experience in this career.”
My point in mentioning this is that I agree with the previous poster about Amal’s connections to monied people.
She TOTALLY got work done on her nose! What a difference!
Oh, I see where Amal is getting all her leverage from: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Hariri (whose everyone suspects was the King of Saudi Arabia’s son), etc. Sounds like a typical spoiled brat whose connections got her real far.
That’s what I’m thinking as well.
Yep, a spoiled, coddled rich girl whose opportunities have come through privilege and family connections.
I can’t believe they had signature drinks!
Amal: Honey, what are you drinking? George: HIS cocktail. A: Sweetie, it’s OUR party, you can have your own! G: I HAVE my HIS cocktail! A: Yours, or his? G: Mine. HIS. A: Georgie, what do you think of my dress?? G.: Hmmm…it’s festive, VERY festive….A: You don’t like it?? G: Well, festive is good…I guess. It glitters. Just like Christmas. You are my special Christmas tree! A: Gawhd…, I just wanted to be beautiful for you! G: I think I want another HIS cocktail! A: Please, sweethart, don’t drink other people’s cocktails!
i love the look on her face in all the photos. somebody is NOT amused.
Maybe George finally told her the “real” reason he proposed.
Wow she’s so lovely and accomplished and so is George. I see that the Brange weren’t invited AGAIN even though I read that BP said if they were invited to this bash, they’d go. I suppose Ange feels pretty inferior to this gorgeous, educated and accomplished woman and rightly so. But the point is moot because it’s obvious Brange is not considered to be a friend to GC. Brad seems to be shunned now, like his not legal new “wife.” 😃
This bash sounds like it was just for her family, so why would they invite the Brange? They aren’t related to Amal. Why people care if those two show up to these events is beyond my understanding, especially since both Brad and George admitted to not being real friends just the occasional work colleague.
ohhh.. poor Brad and Angie
Seriously you Jolie-Pitt haters.. and yes the adjective is appropriate after reading that comment need to get a grip.
Brad never said anything about going to George’s party. IN FACT Brad hasn’t spoken much about George..and he and Angie are doing just fine.
Angelina has nothing to feel inferior to regarding Amal. But it seems you are more obsessed with them then they are with George.
I think George should be happy he was invited!!!..since they did not want any celebrities. He probably was upset he missed the ever so classy Halloween Party with his buddy Rande. His “smart, smart” wife probably made him feel stupid.
Good one, Brodie. For a second there I thought you were serious.
there is a video of her wearing this outfit at the premier of The Monuments Men. Same dress. She is walking with her mother.
Difference is no one knows who she is. no flashing lights.. no one calling or screaming her name.
What a difference a year makes.
http://george-clooney.us/video-amal-was-at-the-london-premiere-of-monuments-men/
Wow, thanks for the find! Yes, it’s this dress. So she had to see this rather bad movie twice- the other time being at the White House screening.
She should have stuck with the hair/makeup/stylist folks who were on hand in Venice. Demeanor-wise, this chick appears to have only two settings thus far — on-camera it’s the I’m-the-greatest mugging and posing, and off-camera (or so she thinks) it’s the get-away-from-me-old-man pissy face. So far, neither appeals.
Amal’s face is cracking me up. That is hands down the expression my sister wore in the days immediately following her wedding before everybody went home and she was sick of playing hostess. Weddings are great if you’re a guest, but they can be exhausting for the couple involved.
Michael Jackson!
