George Clooney dumped his girlfriend over engagement rumors, but took her back

gla-003176.jpg
George Clooney is said to have dumped his girlfriend of a record-breaking ten months, Sarah Larson, after hearing rumors that they were engaged. Clooney, 46, suspected that Larson, 29, had a hand in the engagement gossip in order to pressure him into proposing. He promptly dumped her, but took her back a few days later.

Larson is supposedly jealous of Clooney’s working relationship with Renee Zellweger, and Clooney thought that might have prompted her to start the rumor:

“He suspected Sarah leaked the rumor - hoping to push him into a proposal. So he dumped her…”

But the actor knew Sarah was jealous of former girlfriend Renee Zellweger, and he had been seeing a lot of Renee, working together on his new flick “Leatherheads.”

“George figured Sarah hinted they were engaged to keep everyone away - especially Renee,” said the insider.

“Sarah broke down in tears trying to convince George she didn’t plant the rumor, but he didn’t buy it.”

The angry actor gave the beauty her walking papers, but within a few days, called…

“George ended up getting back together with her - on one condition. He made it clear - no wedding ever - and she said she understood.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, April 14, 2007]

This is George Clooney we’re talking about, so if he shows up at events with a woman several months in a row of course there are going to be rumors that he’s engaged. I’m just surprised these two lasted this long. If it wasn’t for that motorcycle accident that made Clooney think about his own mortality I doubt they would have made it past the four month mark.

Another story that tends to corroborate this is that Clooney was seen flirting with another woman on March 5 at a bar at a hotel. In Touch reported:

George “was really friendly with everyone, but one brunette was just his type and he focused his attention on her,” says an eyewitness. “The girl was obviously into him, too.” [He] couldn’t keep his eyes off the sexy woman all night, according to the witness.

[From In Touch, print edition, March 31, 2008]

If that story about George flirting is true, it happened five days before the engagement rumors broke, so he didn’t really have an excuse and maybe he was getting tired of Larson. Still, the hot and humorous bachelor just might be ready to settle down - into a long term relationship that doesn’t threaten his finances or lifestyle.

George and Sarah are shown at the “Leatherheads” premiere on 3/31/08, thanks to PRPhotos.

George Clooney’s girlfriend Sarah Larson bikini wrestling past

George Clooney’s girlfriend Sarah Larson always looks so well put together and seems rather demur and classy. But it’s been clear from the time she and George began attending events together that she’s definitely a girl with a wild side. Supposedly the pair met when he dined at a Las Vegas restaurant where Sarah was a waitress. But the beautiful brunette has a history that’s much more colorful than all that. According to Star, Sarah worked as a go-go dancer and was often paid to attend parties and look pretty with her sexy girlfriends. Wow, there wasn’t a single part of that sentence that didn’t make me want to throw up.

“Sarah looks like she totally belongs, walking down the red carpet on George’s arm,” a source close to her tells Star. “She’s even been described as having a successful runway and print modeling career. But until recently, her modeling career consisted mostly of being paid by promoters for clubs, magazines and radio stations to attend special events in sexy outfits and party with her wild girlfriends! “Sarah is outgoing and fun and loves to drink. She likes to get wasted when she goes out — but hey, that’s what Vegas is all about!”

In one risqué set of photos taken in July 2007 — one month after she first met George, 46, at the Palms resort — Sarah, 29, is wearing a short dress and has her legs wrapped around a man holding her up against a wall in the middle of a crowded Vegas nightclub. The next day, Sarah — who appears to be drunk — is pictured wearing a bikini at a huge, outdoor pool party at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, kneeling on all fours with her backside in the air as she licks the cover of a magazine lying on the ground. She’s also shown rolling around on the floor as she wrestles a bikini-clad blonde!

[From Star]

Somehow this version of Sarah Larson makes a lot more sense to me, in terms of George Clooney. Sure George seems to place the most emphasis on beauty, but the demure type just doesn’t seem to hold his attention for long. And for ten months is probably some sort of record. Who wouldn’t like a girl who let strangers dry hump them against a wall and faux-wrestles other bikini-clad girls in the sand? I don’t want to know. Enjoy the semi-gratuitous photos. Via IDLYITW.

George Clooney to be godfather of Nicole Kidman’s baby (update: not true)

spx-016107.jpg

Asking George Clooney to be the godfather to your kid could either be a very good or a very bad thing – but I’m pretty sure it’s nothing in the middle. It’s either the best idea ever, or the stupidest thing a person could do. George is supposedly pretty fun, would probably buy the kid a lot of great stuffed animals (do kids still like those?) and has a great house on Lake Como. All essential qualities for an awesome godparent. On the other hand, George is a notorious playboy with a penchant for women much younger than him. So if you end up having a daughter, you’d have to keep a close eye on her after her eighteenth birthday. And really, isn’t that the age at which you’d like to start relaxing a little? But Nicole Kidman is either quite sure she’s having a boy, or she really wants access to that Lake Como house, because she’s named George Clooney as her future kid’s godfather.

Nicole Kidman doesn’t know if she is having a baby boy or girl with husband Keith Urban, but she’s already picked out a godfather for the tot - her good pal George Clooney! Now that she’s no longer married to Tom Cruise, Nicole has abandoned the Church of Scientology and has embraced her Catholic roots, so she is planning on having the baby baptized in the Catholic Church, an insider tells Star. “Nicole asked George to be her baby’s godfather, and he agreed.” Nicole has been good friends with George since they starred together in “The Peacemaker” in 1997.

[Star Magazine, print edition, March 24, 2008]

All kidding aside, George strikes me as the kind of guy who’d make a perfect godfather. In fact he kind of makes more sense in that role – or as a cool uncle - than he does as an actual father. Again, probably due to the excessive womanizing and general playboy/bachelor lifestyle. Right after Nicole announced her pregnancy, George told People magazine that she’ll make a perfect mother. The phrasing seemed to ignore the fact that Nicole already is a mother to her two adopted children with ex-husband Tom Cruise, but point taken. Having George as a godfather seems like the perfect counterweight to having Nicole as a mother. One will be a little strict, the other will probably give you a few spoonfuls of champagne at your fifth birthday party. Either way, you’re a pretty lucky kid.

Update: George Clooney’s rep has said that this rumor is not true and that he will not be the godfather for Nicole’s upcoming baby. [In US Weekly, print edition, April 7, 2008]

Esquire journalist gets George Clooney to watch “2 Girls, 1 Cup”


Esquire has a new interview with George Clooney and it’s so fun to read that I would recommend you buy the magazine. The interview involves the journalist showing Clooney some of the many web sites and comments about him online, and his responses are priceless. He comes across as unbothered and rather amused by the criticism and wild stories on the Internet.

At one point author A.J. Jacobs shows Clooney a Facebook group called “George Clooney is NOT the sexiest man alive”

“Ninety-four members,” says Clooney as he looks at the photo of himself with a red X through it. “What the fuck?”

He reads the site’s manifesto aloud:
Ok so i for one am sick and tired of George Clooney thinking hes the sexiest man alive, like jesus hes so old!Its just not right. That man is so full of himself it isnt funny. Anyways join this group if you totally agree with me =)

“Should I defend myself in this one?”

Clooney dictates and I type:

That’s bullshit. He looks great for a 70-year-old.

[From Esquire, print edition, April, 2008]

I checked and that comment by Jacobs is actually on that Facebook group.

The George Clooney plastic surgery story prompts Clooney to explain that when he made the joke to Julia Roberts on Oprah that “I got my eyes done, what do you think?” it got widely disseminated and printed as truth. He said that “They used to say you can’t make a joke in print, but you can get away with it on film. But now you can’t get away with it there.”

As for what he will admit to, he jokes “I did get my balls done, though. I got them unwrinkled. It’s the new thing in Hollywood - ball ironing.”

Clooney says he doesn’t have hair plugs as is rumored and that his hair is growing too fast in the front, which is why people might get that impression. He insisted that Jacobs feel the stubble growing at the front of his hairline, which he has to shave regularly.

Jacobs shows Clooney fan fiction featuring his character from ER, Doug Ross, getting it on with Juliana Margulies’ character in a hot tub and he quips “I think this was actually taken out of Bill O’Reilly’s novel.” (O’Reilly wrote a 2004 thriller called Those Who Trespess which had similar soft core passages.)

Clooney addresses those pesky rumors that he’s gay with his typical tongue-in-check response. The journalist shows him the a bulletin board, (which is now unavailable) called “George Clooney is GAY GAY GAY” and Clooney says “No. I’m gay, gay. The third gay - that was pushing it.”

The best moment comes at the end of the interview when Jacobs asks him if he’s seen that “2 Girls 1 Cup” video, but then quickly realizes he’s made a grave error in even mentioning it. (I have made a conscious decision to never watch this video. Here is the Wikipedia description - warning on even the description. My husband made me stop talking when I tried to explain it to him.)

Clooney of course says he’s up to seeing the worst video in the history of the Internet, and there’s no going back from there. Jacobs should have known better, because when he asked Clooney if he went online he said he did and found that video of the monkey passing out from smelling his butt so funny:

Clooney’s been pretty comfortable with all this so far. He’s not easily thrown by his own fame or by the brutal assessments of the fame obsessed. But what about the larger dangers of the Web? I realize that I’ve spent a couple of hours showing Clooney sites about the Clooney, but I haven’t asked him, Does he ever go on the Internet?

“I go on YouTube when somebody says to look something up,” he answers. “There was one a few years ago that killed me. Look up ‘monkey smells butt.’”

I type it in. Up pops a video of a chimp sticking his finger up his butt, smelling it, then promptly passing out.

Clooney roars with laughter. “He just smells it and goes wooo-ah and flops off to the side. That always kills me.”

At this point, I make a segue that seemed relevant at the time, but in retrospect was probably a very bad idea. “You know,” I tell him, “I asked the guy who does the Esquire Web site what I should show George Clooney, and he said ‘Show him 2 Girls 1 Cup.’”

“What’s thats?”

“It’s the most disturbing video in the history of videos.”

“Show it to me.”

“Really? I don’t know.”

“I can take it,” Clooney says. “I’m a grown-up. We’re all grown-ups.”

“It’s scarring. It’ll scar you forever.”

“Is it long?” he asks.

“No,” I tell him, “but it’s so disturbing. I saw it once and can never get it out of my mind. I can’t watch it again.”

“I want to see it.”

Well, he asked. After a bit of searching, I find the link. I click it.

After several seconds: “It’s not so bad,” he says.

Three seconds later: “Oh.”

Another two seconds
: “Oh, my GOD! Oh, my God!! Oh, my God!”

Clooney puts his hand over his mouth like he’s going to throw up. He bolts from his chair and walks out of the room.

[From Esquire, print edition, April, 2008]

Clooney’s PR rep is in the room and then he insists on seeing the video too, saying he can watch it longer than Clooney did. He only lasted three seconds though, and Clooney laughs his ass off:

Clooney’s longtime PR guy, Stan Rosenfeld, wants to know what the fuss is about. Clooney tells him he just watched the most repulsive video he’s ever seen. Rosenfeld wants to see it.

“I want to go at least one second more than George.”

“I’ve got to watch Stan watch it,” Clooney says, recomposing himself. “It’s like the rodeo - see how long you can last.”

Rosenfeld lasts three full seconds before walking out.

Clooney, having regarded himself all morning, now just watches, doubled over with laughter.

[From Esquire, print edition, April, 2008]

If only these moments were captured on tape like all the other “2 Girls 1 Cup” reactions now available on YouTube. Clooney’s reaction was pretty typical, but that doesn’t make it any less hysterical. Monkeys smelling their butts pale in comparison to the pure humor of people gagging and covering their faces in horror.

Many thanks to Stacie for these scans.

Jennifer Aniston snubs George Clooney

All of Hollywood is abuzz! The gossip blogs are literally on fire as I type. Jennifer Aniston did not, I repeat NOT – want to hang out with her ex-husband-who-left-her-for-some-hotter-chick’s best friend. Can you believe it? In the snub of all Hollywood snubs, Jennifer apparently doesn’t want anything to do with George Clooney’s attempts to be friendly. George and Brad Pitt are BFF you know. According to OK! (and just about every other magazine in existence) George and Jennifer both attended the Night Before gala, an annual party held the (you guessed it) night before the Oscars. When George went up to Jen to say hello and have a little conversation, things got tense.

Oscar winner George Clooney certainly has his fair share of female fans, but OK! has learned you probably shouldn’t count Jennifer Aniston among them! The handsome Michael Clayton star — who just happens to be best buds with Jen’s ex Brad Pitt — sauntered up to the actress at last Saturday’s Night Before gala in Beverly Hills, where she was busy chatting with Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Orlando Bloom, Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, Susan, outside of Bar Nineteen12.

“George attempted to be friendly, but Jen wasn’t having it,” one eyewitness tells OK!. “After enduring a few minutes of the actor’s presence, Jen turned on her heels and made a beeline for the Sunset Ballroom, where most of the guests were mingling.”

Courteney, naturally, joined Jen, leaving her affable husband, David, to make awkward small talk with George!

[From OK!]

Ooooohhhh, awkward. Does everyone in the world have to love George Clooney? I mean let’s say, just for argument’s sake, that Jennifer never liked George. Why the hell should she bother pretending otherwise for more than a few minutes if she doesn’t have to? And I’m not sure “making a beeline” for the ballroom is the greatest of snubs. She’s an actress. She’s classically trained in the art of throwing a glass of champagne in a man’s face, but she didn’t do it. If she really can’t stand George, I think she showed some restraint. Though I’m not sure Courteney Cox running after Jen to make sure their umbilical cord was still attached was the most mature move.

Here’s Jennifer Aniston at the People’s Choice Awards on January 9th. Images thanks to PR Photos.

George Clooney on the cover of “Time”; Talks about how he hates Bill O’Reilly

georgeclooney.jpg
Time Magazine has a new interview with George Clooney, in which he appears on the upcoming cover with the title “The Last Movie Star.” The article seems to say very little despite how long it is, and comes off as this fawning fanboy piece about how excited the journalist is to have Clooney come over to his house for dinner. Clooney is a nice guy and an old school movie star of the highest order, claims author Joel Stein, who is embarrassed that he didn’t cook the lamb properly when Clooney was over, helping with dinner and making him feel comfortable in his own home.

Clooney talked about how frustrated and depressed he was after going to Darfur as a UN representative, wondering if he made a difference or if he just made the places and people he visited targets for more violence:

“I’ve been very depressed since I got back. I’m terrified that it isn’t in any way helping. That bringing attention can cause more damage. You dig a well or build a health-care facility and they’re a target for somebody,” he says. “A lot more people know about Darfur, but absolutely nothing is different. Absolutely nothing.”

[From Time.com]

He also says that he is careful about the roles he takes because he doesn’t want to get pigeonholed:

“After Syriana and Good Night, and Good Luck I was offered the Richard Clarke book and every issues movie,” Clooney says. “I didn’t want to be the issues guy because if the issues change, you’re done. The Facts of Life is a good example. If you’re a young heartthrob—which I never caught on as—those fans not only abandon you, but they’re embarrassed to have liked you. It’s the same thing with issues movies. I want to just be a director.”

[From Time.com]

Clooney talks a lot about how he hates Bill O’Reilly, the abrasive and often inaccurate Fox News conservative commentator:

One person Clooney will mess with—the thing he keeps coming back to the more we drink—is what a massive loser Bill O’Reilly is. It’s an irrational feud because every time O’Reilly gets to be as important as Clooney, O’Reilly comes out way ahead. But Clooney can’t help himself. He keeps talking about O’Reilly, and the little traps he’s set for him and how thrilled he is when he falls into them. It’s as if Clooney loves O’Reilly because he gives him permission to be an irrational 8-year-old. Maybe that’s why anyone loves O’Reilly. But he is also the anti-Clooney, donning a public persona, one that’s humorless and incapable of self-effacement. It’s as if someone created for Clooney his own Elmer Fudd.

[From Time.com]

As for his night with Clooney, the journalist says they had two bottles of red wine and two bottles of dessert wine over pasta and undercooked lamb, and that at just after midnight they were “both pretty buzzed.” Then he tells this bizarre story about how Clooney climbed into the rafters over his ceiling trying to fix something.

It’s past midnight; we’re both pretty buzzed. He’s telling me how he wakes up every morning at 5:30 to the hoots of a giant owl and how he climbs into his hot tub so he can hoot back, mesmerized by nature, like Tony Soprano and his ducks, when this alarm starts shrieking. Clooney, not a man of inaction, especially in a moment of crisis like this, stands on my dining-room table, unscrews a panel in the ceiling and, finding nothing, makes me go outside and carry a huge ladder with him up two flights to my garage upstairs—where he climbs into an area I’ve never dared go, crawling along the beams with a screwdriver between his teeth. Finding nothing, he climbs down, knocks the dirt off his jeans, blows the dust out of his nose, rinses his hands and returns to the table. The shriek starts again, and Clooney thinks for a few seconds, ducks down and yanks the carbon monoxide detector out of the outlet. “Either it needs a battery,” he says, “or we have six seconds to live.”

[From Time.com]

Then Clooney drove home alone at 1:30 according to this article. If he was doing shit like climbing in the ceiling at midnight would he have been sober enough to drive by then?

He’s not my favorite actor, but he deserves credit for trying to make a difference in the world. He traveled to Africa using his own money. The trip must have been very difficult for him, and he sounds realistic about it. He does seem like a decent, albeit overly-smooth guy despite his womanizing ways. Whether he’s the “Last Movie Star” or not remains to be seen. He certainly knows how to work a journalist into writing a positive piece about him, that’s for sure.

Update: Here’s the video, where Clooney was wandering around with a flashlight looking for the source of mysterious beeping.

George Clooney says Nicole Kidman will be a perfect mom

csh-035661.jpg

Nicole Kidman sometimes seems to act as though she doesn’t already have two kids. Vanity Fair did a really great cover story on her a few months ago, and while the article was very good, when Nicole talked about her desire to have a baby, her phrasing made it sound like she’d forgotten that she’s already had two. Coupled with the fact that she said her kids don’t call her mom – they call her Nicole – and she doesn’t seem to see a lot of them – it definitely seems like Conner and Isabella are more Tom’s kids that Nicole’s. Despite whatever issues she has going on with her two children, George Clooney seems to think she’ll make a great mom. And while George isn’t a parent, he’s got that avuncular quality that makes me trust his judgment.

Just hours after Nicole Kidman announced her pregnancy, George Clooney offered up his congratulations. “I’m thrilled for her,” he told PEOPLE at the picket-line-free Critics’ Choice Awards in L.A. Monday night. “[She’ll be] a perfect mother.”

(The two have been friends for years, dating back to their work in 1997’s The Peacemaker. Kidman and Clooney famously bet $10,000 on whether he would be married when he turned 40 in 2001. She lost, of course.)

“She’ll be great,” Clooney said of the Aussie actress, already mother to Isabella, 15, and Connor, 12, her adopted children with ex-husband Tom Cruise. “She’ll be a tall mother.”

[From People]

I didn’t realize height was an indicator of potential good parenting skills. That could explain some of the issues I have with my mother. That could also explain why it’s probably a good thing that George Clooney doesn’t have any kids of his own yet.

In other Clooney news, George lost out to Daniel Day Lewis for best actor at the Critic’s Choice Awards last night, but didn’t seem too stressed about it.

Clooney, who won a best supporting acting Oscar last year for Syriana, took it all in stride, noting, “[Being] a nominee, it’s fine. But when you’re a loser, you’re a loser.”

The actor was also on hand to present the first-annual Joel Siegel Award (named after the late ABC movie critic) to friend and former costar Don Cheadle for his humanitarian work. “The fact that [George] only charged me $1,500, I thought was really nice of him,” Cheadle joked in the press room. “Matt [Damon] was around $2,500, and what Denzel wanted, I won’t even mention.”

The Darfur activist did get serious for a minute, adding that “George is . . . someone who I’ve not only worked with onscreen, but we’ve also done things for the cause – and it’s great to have an ally.”

[From People]

Clooney is involved in a lot of charitable causes. Despite my joking, he seems like someone who’d be a good dad when he’s ready for it. Of course that means he’d probably have to stop dating a new girl every month… though if memory serves me, he’s been with the current one for almost half a year now. That’s got to be some kind of record. You never know, we may be making George Clooney-related pregnancy announcements sometime soon.

George Clooney Shares A Special Christmas Story


When it comes to Christmas I love the idea of spending time with family, and giving and receiving gifts, but I’m less fond of our Christmas tree. I much prefer a real tree but my fellow householders won’t hear of it. However, I think they might be won over by this story from George Clooney:

“Our neighbour was so proud of his garden, so when my dog got into it, he shot its butt full of pellets. Fortunately the dog didn’t die,” Contactmusic quoted Clooney, as saying.

“But in the middle of the neighbour’s garden was a manicured fir tree, so one Christmas Eve, I sawed it down and put it up in our house.

“No Christmas tree has ever meant so much to me,” he added

India Times

If only I could engineer a scenario like this one, I don’t think any Grinch could deny me my cheekily gained live Christmas tree in 2008. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I don’t have a dog, and my country frowns on casual gun ownership. The neighbours do have a few trees and I’ve got a cat, so maybe we could work something out. Or I could just buy a live tree and insist on keeping it, although that really seems to be taking the easy way out.

Note by Celebitchy: George Clooney planned to bring his new girlfriend, former Fear Factor winner Sarah Larson, home for Christmas with his family, according to OK! Magazine. They say that Sarah’s present to his father would be “a martini set with a limited-edition Rabbit corkscrew and a big bottle of wine.” Hopefully he doesn’t read OK! Magazine or he would have found out his gift ahead of time.

George Clooney and Fabio in pushing match


George Clooney was out to dinner with his new cocktail waitress girlfriend and Fear Factor winner, Sarah Larson, in L.A. last Friday. 48 year Italian model Fabio was at the next table with a group of women, and one of them started taking pictures. Clooney got all upset thinking they were taking pictures of him, and Fabio told him not to be a diva. The two started arguing, then Clooney got up, said the F word and started pushing Fabio. Since Fabio is 6′3″ tall and Clooney is 5′11″ it could have ended badly for George:

According to numerous eyewitnesses, Clooney, assuming the woman was taking snaps of him, asked her to stop - prompting Fabio to explain that the shots were of his group, not Clooney, and to tell the superstar, “Stop being a diva.” Clooney started arguing back, and he and Fabio then got into a shoving match. “The waiters broke it up before it got out of hand,” a witness told In Touch. Clooney then paid his check and left before finishing his meal. According to another In Touch witness, Ron Marotto, “George looked annoyed when Fabio went to his table. George stood up, dropped the F-bomb and then went to push him . . . George was drinking . . . He wasn’t drunk, but he certainly wasn’t stone sober, either.” Fabio’s manager told the magazine, “George is lucky he didn’t end up in the ER.” Clooney’s rep declined to comment to Page Six.

[From PageSix via WeSmirch]

I love how Fabio’s rep says Clooney could have ended up in the ER, har har. In Touch sheds more light onto why Clooney may have been suspicious of the woman taking pictures - she was a professional photographer and Clooney probably recognized her high end equipment. Fabio is also an AV enthusiast, and Wikipedia quotes him as telling Stuff Magazine this year that he’s into gadgets.

As for Fabio’s career, he hasn’t really become the action hero he was hoping and has had to settle for dabbling in different fields. He was wildly successful with a line of women’s outerwear he designed for Sam’s Clubs in 2003, and has done plenty of TV talkshow and magazine interviews. Maybe this amusing fight with Clooney will help raise his profile a bit. Fabio certainly comes off as the less aggressive party in reports of the incident.

Fabio is shown on 9/4/07, thanks to WENN. Clooney is shown on 10/31/07 filming Burn After Reading, thanks to Splash News. 48 year-old Fabio still looks hot to me. Clooney is 46, and although he’s at a disadvantage in this photo because he’s sporting that beard and outfit for a role, I have to declare Fabio the winner in the looks department.

Brad Pitt & Matt Damon sent Clooney gag gift after accident

null
Brad Pitt and Matt Damon are said to have send their Ocean’s co-star George Clooney a “get well soon” present after his motorcycle mishap in New Jersey late last month. The pair didn’t send a bouquet of flowers or a sappy card, they sent over a gag gift that made fun of his accident. Since neither Clooney or his girlfriend of the moment, Sarah Larson, were seriously injured, it doesn’t sound that tasteless and I could see it happening:

Sympathetic buddies Brad Pitt and Matt Damon sent over a care package [to Clooney] containing a yellow plastic crash helmet topped by a flashing red light - and a beat-up leather jacket festooned with rips and skid marks. Adding insult to injury: His “Ocean’s” co-stars included a card that read “Get Well Soon, Skid Head!”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, Mike Walker’s column, October 22, 2007]

With all the pranks that Clooney likes to pull, and the way these three banter on The Oceans movies, I’m inclined to believe this story. Still, it would require a certain amount of coordination between Damon and Pitt to both sign the card within a short period of time. While Pitt was in NY at the time working on the same movie as Clooney, the last I heard of Damon he was back in Miami. It would be a more likely story if just one of them sent the gift.

Meanwhile Clooney and Pitt weren’t able to attend the American Cinematheque Awards on Friday, where their Oceans costar Julia Roberts was honored, but they did send over a funny video to add to the tribute.

In the clip, Clooney and Pitt run into each other in the bathroom, and Pitt’s foot is shown tapping in Clooney’s stall. This sounds pretty funny and I hope it “leaks” online:

In Clooney’s video, Roberts’ “Ocean’s Twelve” co-star was shown “hiding from fans” in a public bathroom stall. He suddenly feels a foot tapping his, a la Idaho Sen. Larry Craig. When he jumps out to see who’s in the next stall, he finds Pitt, who cries, “I have a wide stance!”

[From NYDailyNews]

Hopefully someone will come up with a better venue for this team than the Oceans movies. They were slick and fun, but they lacked a certain substance and the plots were hard to follow. Still, I would pay to see Clooney, Pitt and Damon read the phone book. They would have to be shirtless, though, with some homo-eroticism thrown in for good measure.

Pictures are of the Oceans 13 photocall and premiere at Cannes back in May. Thanks to INFDaily and Photorazzi.
