George Clooney must be one of the nicest guys around. It turns out, parts of his medical records were leaked by as many as 40 hospital personnel after his motorcycle accident last month. More than two dozen employees have been suspended without pay, and at least sixteen more are being investigated in the incident. While most people would be outraged and threatening legal action, Clooney wasn’t thrilled by the incident but said that he hoped it could be settled without suspending medical workers. His “E.R.” loyalty must run deep.

“‘This is the first I’ve heard of it,’ Clooney, 46, said in a statement Tuesday. ‘And while I very much believe in a patient’s right to privacy, I would hope that this could be settled without suspending medical workers.’

“Suspicions were raised shortly after the accident when the press had details about the couple’s medial conditions – Clooney suffered a fractured rib and Larson broke her big toe – WCBS 2 in New Jersey reports. Leaking confidential information is a violation of federal law. According to WCBS, hospital employees who were not treating Clooney themselves accessed his medical records via the hospital computer system, with one security guard going so far as to give out the phone number of one of Clooney’s family members.”

That’s pretty big of George Clooney. I’d be spiting mad and wanting names. It seems like he has a good perspective and understands that he’s pretty lucky that he and his girlfriend walked away from their accident with relatively minor injuries. I wish I was as magnanimous as George, but I really think these people should be in a lot of trouble. It shows a lack of good judgment and ethics, and that’s pretty important for healthcare workers.

George also mentioned that he’s not done with his motorcycling ways. He noted: “‘I’ve been riding for 30 years, and I’ve had three accidents, which isn’t bad odds. I’ll keep riding,’ he said last week.” Um, way to go? I don’t know if that’s smart or stupid, but he seems to be holding up pretty well, so maybe it’s good for him.

Everyone is all atwitter that George Clooney was seen carrying a “sex ramp,” and he definitely was. It’s called the Liberator (link NSFW!) and is supposed to raise the womans hips for a more pleasurable angle and facilitate different positions or something. I’ve actually heard of it before because one of our advertisers on Celebitchy, Black Label Adult Shop, had these for a while, but Clooney must have snapped them all up because they’re sold out now.

It seems to be more evidence that Clooney is into some kinky shit in the bedroom, and commentors on Gossip Rocks were going back and forth about whether it could be used for massage therapy for his recent injury or if it was indeed a sex ramp. The purple color gives it away and there’s no mistaking what it is.

The picture that has everyone talking is of Clooney in casual-looking clothes looking like he’s carrrying the thing out to a waiting cab where his girl toy is about to be spirited to the airport and back to her bleak existence as a Vegas cocktail waitress, the sex ramp a sad reminder of the price she had to pay for a few weeks of premieres and expensive restaurants. Unfortunately that’s not the case and the photo was taken on the NY set of Clooney’s new film, Burn After Reading.

Splash News give this picture description:

George Clooney pretends to hurt his leg on the set of his new movie. The actor was waiting to shoot a scene when he jokingly kicked a moving car and pretended to hurt his knee. He turned around and smiled at the director. In the scene George was carring a large purple triangle that he pulled out from a parked car. He is in New York at the moment filming ‘Burn After Reading’.

Unlike Madonna and the purple penetrator, this isn’t really evidence that Clooney is anything but a good employee just doing his job.

If you want to purchase something similar to spice things up in the bedroom you’re better off heading to your local medical supply store and getting an orthopedic wedge. It might not be exactly the same incline, but it’s about $100 cheaper and you can be creative. When I was pregnant I slept with one of these and found it very comfortable. I never knew how versatile it was.

Picture below from Jezebel.com, and you can also tell Clooney is on set because he was sporting that same outfit in other photos that came out of him filming this week. The photos of Clooney on set in a suit are thanks to Splash News.

Man, the gavel of justice is really coming down hard on celebrities lately. Not that that’s a bad thing – it’s a good thing that they’re being held accountable for their actions like the rest of us. Well, that they’re at least increasingly being held accountable. It’s not great that celebrities, young and old, seem to be getting into a lot of trouble lately. But let’s be honest – we hope they live and all, but it’s all right when they add a little drama to our lives. Better they end up in rehab than us, am I right? Is that silence? Okay it’s just me then. Carrying on. George Clooney might be joining the ranks of Britney, Paris, and Lindsay. Yes, it’s the long, bleached blond hair, but he also might see himself in a criminal court of law soon. As Celebitchy reported, Clooney crashed his motorcycle on Friday in Weehaweken, New Jersey. He said that a car cut him off by making a right turn from the left lane, but the other driver said it was Clooney who was driving erratically.

“Lucky to be alive, Hollywood actor George Clooney could face dangerous driving charges in connection with the motorcycle crash he and his girlfriend were involved in on Friday. According to Weehawken Police Sergeant Sean Kelly, Clooney might have caused his New Jersey accident by attempting to pass a car which tried to take a right hand turn from the left lane. ‘It’s a he-said, she-said right now, but you can’t pass on the right in Weehawken or anywhere in Jersey,’ Kelly said. ‘If he was passing on the right, that’s a moving violation,’ Hudson County Prosecutor Ed Defazio said yesterday.

“While the Mazda driver, identified as Sciancaledore, 27, insists it was Clooney’s fault, the actor’s publicist said ‘The car signaled left. George was riding to the right. The driver decided to make an abrupt right turn and clipped George.’ Sciancalepore was fined for not having his registration with him at the time of the accident, Weehawken Public Safety Director Jeff Welz said.”

I’m guessing no matter what happens, Clooney will end up in court on the business end of a lawsuit. I’m sure while that other guy was being rammed, he had little dollar signs floating out of his ears. Probably dreaming about Clooney’s famed Lake Como estate, which will now be the guy’s summer home.

The only happy thing about this story? This sentence: “The 46-year-old star suffered a fractured rib while his 28-year-old girlfriend, a former reality TV contestant and cocktail waitress, broke at least two tows.” Yes that’s right, poor George Clooney’s girlfriend broke her tows. Now I don’t know how big her feet would have to be two support at least two tows. She might have more than two, we only know for sure that two were broken. All five of her toes might actually be tows, for all we know. But can you imagine the snowshoe-sized footwear this woman must have to lug around to hide her two tows? That’s probably what really caused the accident. George Clooney’s girlfriend’s tows threw off the motorcycle’s center of gravity.

George Clooney has been dating a 28 year-old cocktail waitress that he met at the Palms hotel this June at the Oceans Thirteen premiere. Sarah Larson worked as a hostess and waitress at club Moon in the Palms, and recently quit after Clooney started squiring her around the world. He brought her with him to the Deauville and Venice film festivals and is even said to have moved her into his place.

Showing the type of blind ambition that it must take to hook up with one of the world’s most notorious womanizers, Ms. Larson was once a contestant on the skeeve-fest that is Fear Factor. In 2005 she appeared on the game show, winning $50k with her then-boyfriend. She didn’t shy away from drinking blood or ingesting a cocktail with a scorpion in it. When it came time to commit to her boyfriend, though, she got scared and left to pursue her dream of star f&**ing:

In 2005, and her boyfriend at the time, waiter Dan Randolph, decided to go on the TV program “Fear Factor” as a couple.

Sarah’s challenges on the show included downing a martini with a scorpion in it and swallowing blood.

The pair won $50,00 on the show, but reportedly ended up losing half of it gambling on blackjack at the end.

They took the remaining money and used it as a down payment on a house.

“Dan wanted to settle down with Sarah, get married and have kids,” said [a] pal. “But she had other ideas. They split up soon after they moved in, and Sarah was dead-set on becoming rich and famous.

“Now that she’s living with George, it looks like she may be on her way to becoming both.

“George took her to Europe with him right away, and they spent most of the summer together there.

“When Sarah wanted to head back to the states, George begged her to stay – and she’s been living with him ever since.”

Maybe I’m so harsh on her because I’m one of those people that can’t even watch Fear Factor. I’m half in awe of and half disgusted by the contestants who actually go through with the ridiculous dares in the name of entertainment. Being humiliated like that on national television should be worth a hell of a lot more than $25k a head, and that’s only for the people who win the challenges. Aren’t there contestants that eat bugs and entrails and end up going home penniless and sick to their stomachs?

I wonder if dating Clooney is anything like being a contestant on that show. He’s said to be a moderately kinky guy. It must take a certain kind of daredevil to put up with his demands in the bedroom, realizing that they’re taking their chances with ever winning the prize of commitment, even for a month or two. Then again, there are always women who are up for challenge, and letting Clooney have his way with you must be more pleasant than eating scorpions.

People magazine has released their annual best dressed list, ahead of the best dressed issue of their magazine. Then again, with a stylist in tow it’s easy to gain best dressed kudos, so the worst dressed is probably more interesting! I wish that list was longer.

Why have best dressed men lists? Even the most stylish man just tends to walk around in either a tuxedo or a t-shirt. There’s not much complicated about men’s dressing, why not have best punk rocker style for say, Pete Wentz? Or Best male use of make up, which would probably also be won by Pete Wentz.

I’m also confused about the criteria: Avril Lavinge’s lace dress and combat boots is a style no-no, but Lily Allen’s signature look is a dress and hi-top sneakers (Lily is mentioned in a British best dressed section of the magazine). Aren’t these just different versions of the same look? And none of the women on the best dressed list are cleavage shy, but it’s not okay for Hilary Clinton to show off her assets?

George Clooney showed up at a restaurant at which the entire cast of ER had gathered to celebrate Parminda Nagra’s 31st birthday last October. The show ER refuses to die, and helped launch Clooney’s career when he starred as hot doctor Doug Ross from 1994 to 1999.

When the time came to pay the bill for 20 people, everyone was delighted to hear that Clooney had already taken care of it:

When Parminda Nagra had a birthday in October, the entire cast too her out to swanky Firefly in Studio City – and even ex-doc George Clooney showed up to join the group of 20 that included John Stamos, Maura Tierney, Goran Visnjic, Shane West…. Clooney breezed out after sharing several bottles of $300-pluss wine – but when the “ER” gang called for the bill, amount to several thousand dollars, they were told: “Compliments of Dr. Clooney.”

[From The National Enquirer print edition, Mike Walker's column. February 19, 2007]

It’s nice to read a positive story about Clooney, since the press still holds a grudge against him for that Princess Diana paparazzi rant he had at the time. Janet Charlton reports it was misguided anger on Clooney’s part for the fact that all the gossip rags were paying attention to all the women he was banging for convenience sake. She seems pretty conservative to me in saying Clooney eroded freedom of the press, and I don’t agree with her. Clooney was just dealing with Diana’s death in his own way and it happened over ten years ago. He’s just another hot-looking cad, although he seems to be a generous one at that.

Whenever I come across new pictures of Brad Pitt I hear this little high note in my brain like angels singing. No matter if you’re into skinny or beefy guys, blondes or brunettes, Brad Pitt is your type.

Brad Pitt is planning to collaborate with Sacha Baron Cohen, aka Ali G/Borat, on a new project. He loved the Borat movie and has reportedly spoken to Cohen about working together on a film in the future.

He is also co-producing a TV show with Nip/Tuck creator Ryan Murphy about the life of a married transsexual sportswriter. Yes, it sounds odd but it could be good:

With all this work coming up, it’s no wonder the gossip rags are reporting that Brad is burning the candle at both ends. Life and Style says that Brad is so exhausted and overwhelmed that George Clooney has been giving him advice on how to slow down. They say he fell asleep on his trailer on the “Oceans 13″ set and that Clooney told him to rest up. They’re most likely basing their conclusions on candids of Brad like they usually do.

Thanks to SimplyBrad.com for these pictures.

George Clooney broke his poor neighbor Teri Hatcher’s fragile heart, and now he’s proven yet again that he takes whatever’s closest at hand by shacking up with Ellen Barkin, who earned a pity role in “Oceans 13″ as Matt Damon’s love interest after getting dumped by her billionaire husband. Yes, that’s right, Clooney’s screwing Ellen Barkin.

That last line about Brad Pitt introducing Barkin to Jolie is pretty much bullshit, you can count on it. The Mirror makes shit up a lot and I would be surprised if that’s true. I buy this Clooney and Ellen Barkin story wholesale, though, because it sounds just like him.

This is not going to last more than a month, ladies, so manage to get yourself within easy ongoing access of Clooney for a while and you too can have a whirlwind affair with the liberal Oscar winner. Just be prepared to get your ass dumped without an explanation after 4-6 weeks. It doesn’t matter how coy you play it, or really how cute or young you are, since Clooney doesn’t seem to give a shit. Just make sure you’re around, and can fit into his schedule for a little while. He’ll go back home to his pot bellied pig afterwards.

Why does Brad Pitt smoke? Is he addicted and/or does he think it looks cool? He could eat his boogers and it would look cool, but smoking is just a nasty habit. It’s not like he’s succumbing to peer pressure on set since he’s hanging with Clooney outside their trailers and Clooney’s got a mouthful of gum.

I live in Switzerland, where everything is clean and healthy except for the damn cigarettes. It’s not taboo to smoke here like it is in America. There’s often no non-smoking section in restaurants, and smoking in public is not frowned upon. Unfortunately that’s changed my opinion of smoking a bit, although I still hate to be around the smoke. Celebrities don’t set a good example by smoking, but they’re just hanging out and don’t intend to be photographed so who am I to judge?

The latest non-news on the Jolie-Pitt relationship claims that Angelina wants to get married at this point, and not in some freaky non-binding ceremony, but for real, while Brad is holding off. They’re also supposedly fighting a lot, with people saying that Angelina’s crazy need to escape is getting on Brad’s nerves.

Now Life and Style is reporting that Brad’s reaching out to his ex Jennifer Aniston, which enrages Angelina:

That sounds like bullshit. People really want to know the dirt on the world’s most famous beautiful couple, and it’s quite easily manufactured for our consumption. Then again, I didn’t believe they were going to Africa until they actually did it, either.
