jUst because Clooney is gayer than gay doesn’t mean other men can’t enjoy being married.
Maybe one day it will be legal for Clooney to marry his boyfrined so he can quit hiding behind his fake bartender girlfriends and not be jeolous of other people getting married.

Not funny, he is just showing what a jerk he is, Clooney and Wahlberg fell out sometime ago and are just acquaintances now, not close friends. how sensitive of him to send a gift like this. Did he even bother to turn up at his own parents 50th wedding anniversary which was last Thursday or was he too busy playing ‘booty” with his latest disposable topless model Italian floozy.

He has told everyone for years he will never marry again, so what, that’s his choice but it would be nice to show some respect for other peoples choices as well, by sending this gift he is making fun of the fact that two people wish to make a life time commitment and want to get married. Did I hear him making fun of gays wanting to marry, No? I thought not, he actually got on his PR podium and said it was a basic right. For some people his own parents for example marriage is a very important step a vow to honour and love each other. Something George is obviously incapable of. He screwed up his own marriage so he is blaming his own inadequacies on the piece of paper.

People need to lighten up and get a sense of humor. The gift was for his guy friend, not both of them. Hello this is the guy whose bachelor life is portrayed on Entourage. I’m sure his wife could care less and probably laughed tool. These “insiders” are like the tooth fairy. They don’t exist.

The argument that marriage is only a piece of paper makes sense to people who truly believe and are committed. However, the thought of marriage to Mark may be that he isn’t fully committed until he is to married, hence the ball and chain referrence.

Look, within the brethren, that’s what I’m calling their good ‘ol boy Hollywood man club, this is high jinx and hilarity at it’s best. It seems this is what they all do and it’s expected, excepted and to not reciprocate in kind would probably get one kicked out of the club. Yes, they’re just boys at best, but this is what they allow themselves to do to each other. The women in their lives must have to either go along with it or keep mum on the juvenile behavior.
All that being said, I actually think it’s funny.

If it’s just a piece of paper, then why not do it?

If it were just done as a gag gift, it’s fine, I guess. More than a little warmed-over, but by this point, so is Clooney. At any rate, maybe there was a ‘real’ gift, but if not, it’s not like they’re hurting for funds or shotgun supplies. Maybe he should’ve sent some prophylactics and a diaphragm.

If they have a close enough friendship that he’s invited to the wedding, the family likely knows him, and his sense of humour.

If anything is ‘trapping’ Wahlberg, it’s his ‘can’t-shake-it-off’ erstwhile rap dalliance.

All told, I see the ‘perpetual bachelor who is so dapper and ankle-deep in the lady love–and is so much FREER than you, SQUARE’ much in the same way as I see the ‘my life is soooooo much more important than yours because I spread ‘em and sat on a pillow, Dame Loneliness’ character types. Which is, with an ear to the pounding surf. Anything to drown out the sound of so much self-involved speechifying.

I think this comment has doubled over and fallen back on me, because I’ve gone from ‘eh,’ to ‘spare us another performance of ‘this is my life philosophy’, let’s re-focus on me’.

Wait, what?

I don’t like that you’ve written

“And why shouldn’t Mark marry Rhea, if that’s what she wanted?”

I don’t think its a case of what SHE wants, its what THEY want, as a couple.

I think that phrasing only furthers misogynistic assumptions about women and marriage.
