George Clooney Rags on Brad Pitt
George Clooney playfully ragged on good friend Brad Pitt on last night’s The Late Show with David Letterman. George knocked Brad for also winning the title of “People’s Sexiest Man” twice. George joked of Brad: “He was a little upset. It sort of knocked his thing down a notch.”
Brad congratulated George’s win by taking out full-page ads in Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, which read:
Dear George,
Congratulations on being People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive.
[insert cornball picture of George from 1985]
Your Friend,
“The Reverend Ted”
Yes, it’s in reference to that Ted. The Ted Haggard who was guilty of “sexually immoral conduct” and ex-pastor of mega-church New Life Church.
George retaliated on Letterman by showing old school pictures of Brad wearing tapered pants and a beret. Above is George imitating one of Brad’s cheesy poses.
George also joked of Matt Damon: “We felt bad for Matt Damon because he really wanted it. He campaigned hard for it but we think he just came up short.”

I just want to add my vote to the view that the most mums I know like Angelinaj - even when the Break Up first occurred. Of course, most mums I know are over 40 and frankly, have lived a bit in their lives. They are happy and secure in themselves and their relationships.
I genuinely believe that those who continue to dislike Brad and Angelina 2 years and 3 kids after separation are people who
(a) have a victim mentality;
(b) don’t really think but react to their feelings.(I feel therefore I am)
(c) and the more vitriolic they are, the more they hate themselves, and the awful lives they live.
Don’t get me wrong, these people may, be objective standards, have a really good life but something stops them from enjoying their own lives. Always, something eats away at their soul so they hate whoever symbolises their fears, their insecurities.
Most people don’t live like that - thank goodness.

You pointed out something that reminds me about the Donald Trump incident. One begin to wonder why he did what he did. Aside from getting publicity and to share in the popularity of the J-Ps what’s in it for him? It certainly not for altruistic reasons. I don’t know much about him but he sure does appear to have some vested interest in bashing Angie and acts as if its his moral right. Unfortunately for him, he doesn’t have the credibility to get the mud he threw to stick. Angie’s discord with her father and her taking a firm stand touches a nerve. He’s probably afraid one of his children will do the same. Angie sharing her fortune goes against his personal mantra of amassing his fortune. You’re suppose to hoard it, build from it and not give it away.
So, same as thru applies to the people who were subjected to the hard selling tactics of the concept that Aniston is the poster girl of the “mini-van majority”. Some took it as gospel because it validates/justifies what you have stated in your post. Sadly, the entertainment media left it from there and made conclusions and still based their stories on those conclusions. What’s unfortunate is that, that biased perception infiltrated into some of the mainstream media. Its also unfortunate that very same media who forced fed that concept conveniently forgot to take into account that those who were lumped as the “mini-van majority” are beginning to question the validity of that claim that Aniston is their poster girl.
Who on earth votes for Cloony as Sexiest man alive??
He looks like a 60 year old gibsy.
So now he´s got the title two times, and Brad got it two times…..so who do you think will get it next?
The Rev Ted reference is from a line in Ocean’s that George says to Brad :
“Ted Nugent called he wants his shirt back”
Anyway, George is a tool. He’s whored his relationship out with Brad forever and a day but when it came time for George pimping himself out for Oscar he’s suddenly only ‘work friends’ with Brad. Which in reality is all he ever really was anyway. When it suits Clooney Brad’s the greatest but when Clooney wants to talk about himself he really doesn’t know Brad.
I also wanted to mention that the whole point of the ad was because George had contacted Variety and wanted to put a “For your consideration” ad in the paper for Matt Damon for Sexiest Man Alive. Variety told him NO! They were a serious newspaper and do not run things like that. Clooney told Brad and Brad contacted Variety and they gladly ran the ad for Brad.
Good Morning. This was posted on bradforums.

Are Americans Cheap?
By John Stossel
The New York Times and Washington Post editorialize about America’s “stinginess.” Former President Jimmy Carter says when it comes to helping others, “The rich states don’t give a damn.” Standing outside the White House, the singer Bono told the press that America doesn’t do enough to help the needy:
“It’s the crumbs off our tables that we offer these countries.”
It seems obvious to Bono and President Carter that America offers “crumbs” because the governments of most other wealthy countries distribute a larger percentage of their nations’ wealth in foreign aid. Yes, the U.S. government gave out $20 billion last year, much more than other countries give, but that’s only because we are so stupendously wealthy. If you calculate foreign aid as a percentage of our wealth, the United States gives much less than others.
Actress Angelina Jolie calls that “really disgusting” in my new TV special, titled “Cheap in America.” “ABC News” will broadcast it tonight (Wednesday, Nov. 29 at 10 p.m. — sorry — I know some of you are reading this column after that). Jolie goes on to say, “I think most American people, you know, really do think we give more. And I know that they would if they could understand how little they give and how much more we can afford to give, absolutely, without even noticing.”
But wait a second … when talking aid, why do Jolie and the others talk just about what the government gives? Why conflate America with our government? America is the people.
Jolie could look to herself as an example of the generous American. She gives weeks of her time and millions of her own dollars to charities.
That’s an old quote from Angelina and it’s reference to the American Goverment, not the people.
I also wanted to mention that the whole point of the ad was because George had contacted Variety and wanted to put a “For your consideration” ad in the paper for Matt Damon for Sexiest Man Alive. Variety told him NO! They were a serious newspaper and do not run things like that. Clooney told Brad and Brad contacted Variety and they gladly ran the ad for Brad.

George Clooney is one of the most interesting people in hollywood right now.It’s always fun to watch him because he is really smart and funny.I like the way he likes to make fun of himself and this all star-system he lives in.As for his relationship with Brad ,i like the way they tease each other,it shows that they both have humor.Let’s not forget that both of them have the best to say for each other in every opportunity,like here:
CLOONEY: A great guy. I mean a great, truly great guy.
KING: Do you like working with him?
CLOONEY: Love working with him.
They are both respectful actors with many serious interests in their lives,and i don’t think that anyone could believe that they truly care about whose got the “sexiest man alive”title.They just joke about it and that’s all.A joke.
I love the jokes between the two of them

Thanks B12. I frankly think the ref to Ted Nugent is better than to Haggard. Do you think Clooney just did not understand that “Rev Ted” is sometimes what Nugent used to call himself.
I bet Brad loved that he could get the ad in Variety when Clooney couldn’t.

George Clooney is one of the most interesting people in hollywood right now
======================================================
Are you serious? Clooney has got to be one of the most boring people in HW right now. Clooney goes on interviews and says the same damn thing every.single.time. I think I’ve heard that Matt campaigned hard for SMA thing about 5x’s now.
The Good German is going to be another bomb for Clooney. The movie is horrible to the point of people in the screenings laughing out loud at it.
Clooney’s a poser. His whole trip to Darfur wasn’t because he all of a sudden decided he wanted to go. He went because George wants in with the Bono’s , Brad’s and Angelina’s. Hell, Matt Damon went to Africa so George had to go. Always on someone else’s urging or coat tails. Just watch how comitted Clooney will be for Africa and specifically Darfur. That will be his father Nick’s cause not George’s.
Clooney is a famwhore of the highest order.
gdtert
Huh? Says
That’s your opinion and i respect that.Mine is different.
I bet Brad loved that he could get the ad in Variety when Clooney couldn’t.
====================================================
I think that was the whole point. Remember who the big dog really is, George. heh
I have to agree about George though, he is a bit of the famwhore. He campaigned so hard for that Oscar, his covers on VF and the SMA title. I also get the vibe that George has this weird love/hate thing with Brad. I think he likes him, wants to be like him, and yet is jealous of the attention and respect that Brad receives.
Brad has been extremly succesful with his production company, George had to close his and start anew, etc., etc.
Oops..meant famewhore…not fam-***** (read the post above) like in family which we know George doesn’t want. lol.
Clooney is also a DRUNK too
I also get the vibe that George has this weird love/hate thing with Brad.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I agree with this. The public loves Brad in a way that George has never experienced. I think too that Clooney is stuck in that frat boy mentality while everyone around him has moved on with family and kids. Clooney is looking to stay relevant so he attaches himself to these people’s causes.
live them alone, he and brad are one of the tre men left in hollywood
true men
Haha, I love George, he’s hilarious. :D
Clooney’s an a**!
Enough with him already. He’s so overexposed. He doesn’t know when to stop. Clooney’s an older Ben Affleck to me.
haven’t read the thread yet but I’d like to say……
Listen, you dried up coon-eyed closet homo’ I don’t even want to begin to know WHY you’re once again the sexiest man alive, concidering that you look like you’re on the worst side of 50. And I don’t know WHO you had to gratify orally to get it. Nor do I care how chummy you and Brad may be *cough* NOT *cough*
But let me tell you, you acted like the immature d*uche that you are. All that “we joke with each other’, Brad is used to this back and forth childish game
and no doubt had a laugh. But I’m NOT Brad, I’m a fan, I don’t like this last media stunt that you pulled. Nationwide. Reminds me too much of someone else. See, Brad doesn’t need the publicty like you do, that’s why you escalated it the way you did.
You made fun of his old pictures, fine we all do that with our old yearbooks, but you come acoss as a childish jealous man, got a mancrush do we? ANY picture of his looks 10 xs better than you look, haved looked or ever WILL look in your life. LEAVE MY BRADLEY ALONE!
You think you’re the head of this century’s “Rat Pack” but look out, you’ll be marching alone
Please people, PEOPLE. George has been politically active and an outspoken progressive for as long as he’s been famous. He is always the first to go toe to toe with anyone who steps outta line, he’s smacked Bill O’Reilly upside the head enumerable times, he was the first to address the papzi’s getting out of control (re Princess Diana’s death), he started talking about Darfur long before others were — his films Syriana was an expose of the whole govt/oil/war deal, Good Night and Good Luck inspired many to start speaking out about BushCo (see Keith Olberman), he’s always entered the political fray without a second’s hesitation…and he does it for several reasons…he’s smart, he cares about people, and he loves his country. I’d advise everyone to read George’s GQ interview from a few years back to get the gist of the man…he’s from a good family that was morally conscientious and sensitive to race and social issues, in Kentucky of all places..his father Nick is his hero (as a kid, George remembers his Dad, a local newscaster, cussing people out and getting up from parties and leaving when someone would say the n-word, or something else particularly racist) - his Dad was a stand-up guy and that’s who he most admires. He is friends with people that are very much like his Dad, politically aware, socially conscious good men like Brad, like Matt. He’s not too hard to figure out. I for one, have always loved George.
I just wish he’d get his damn teeth fixed.
Sorry AG, lolol.
They’re done. They won’t be doing any Ocean’s movies anymore and if Brad hadn’t agreed to do this last one it wouldn’t of gotten made. George did it for the money. It’s the only film that’s ever made $$ for him. George’s films always flop with the exception of The Perfect Storm.
Clooney hasn’t figured out yet that just because you own a production company doesn’t mean you have to star in almost every single film. I saw George’s Syriana DVD on sale for $3.99. LMAO
The Good German looks horrible and poor Cate she’s going to get raked over the coals for this one.
