OlderGeorge 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.”

Give it a break - Clooney and Pitt are really good friends - they rag on each other and play practical jokes — why not on tv — stops them from having to be too personal about other things — it’s fun and they enjoy it as do the masses. George Clooney isn’t using Brad Pitt- Clooney doesn’t need any media help from another celeb and niether does Pitt.

Thank you! Well said and I SO totally agree. I’m fatiqued with the tude that GC can’t say his friends name without it meaning a plug for himself. If anything I think it’s a plug FOR Brad, and displays the opposite of what haters want people to believe which is George and Brad AREN’T close, and that its because GC took some kind of issue with BP’s leaving the past and choosing a new future. They’re friends and people need to cease tripping about that.

Insecure? The man just exudes confidence…isn’t that why some people don’t like him? Oh PT…admit it, you want him. Ha! Ha! Well you can’t have him coz the boy is mine. Why do I get the urge to start belting Monica and Brandy’s “The Boy is mine” (don’t ask how I know that song).

Hey Alex, how are you? Saw your IM this morning, sorry I missed you. I couldn’t get a moment to myself all day yesterday. Anyway, how is your day looking? I hope not as busy as mine was yesterday.

Lol….thank you. I just don’t think this GC thing is that serious. They have a history of playing pranks with each other. When GC said BP was just his Hollywood friend, the press was pressing him for intimate details about BP’s relationship with AJ. Anything he said would have been twisted to fit the scenerio they want…even now, aren’t his words being twisted? This is George Clooney….okay, maybe he hasn’t been tabloid fooder for the past year, it doesn’t mean he is lacking publicity.
********************************
I think their little pranks are funny. “Rev. Ted” lol Oh that Brad. :)
George and Jon should be very entertaining tonight considering Jon’s “crush” on him lol Did you see him in the opening skit when Jon hosted the Oscars? They were in bed together :)
I never hear men gush about their friends…I can’t ever imagine George or Brad saying, “Yeah, we’re total BFFs!” :lol:
good morning everybody! since i see AG is around, i’ll stifle the clooney jokes (heaven knows i’ve got thousands!). i see there’s minivan talk, famewhoring, new orleans rumors, etc. etc. in the middle of all this, i have a simple request: folks can we please take just a few moments and give a big hand of appreciation to Father Time? seriously. these early pictures of brad are cutesy and almost nauseating. but hasn’t Father Time worked some marvelous magic on this overly pretty boy and turned him into a jaw-dropping, panty-steaming, delicious feast of a man? i mean, old FT even did a little good with clooney along the way…
bravo! bravo! Father Time your magic worked very well on braddy!
I saw it last night and it was fun. Brad taking out an ad while he was in India, priceless LOL!!!! It’s not that serious people, it’s just a running gag Brad & George has had for yeaaaaars. How some of you can’t see it is beyond me. And anger towards George, please he’s the last person in Hollywood to be angry with. There are plenty of, miserable, humorless actors in Hollywood (*cough* Jude Law, Tom Cruise *cough) who swear they are the second coming of Sir Laurence Olivier, please get over yourselves and crack a real smile. George’s “fame” came late in life so he has a cynical view about the whole system.
George & Brad are part of a group of A list actor’s that get along and have respect for each other. It’s natural that they would speak about each other. It’s like the years of friendship that Robert Redford & Paul Newman has and they are still at it with the gags to this day. I can’t imagine a fan of Robert Redfords blasting into Paul Newman and calling him a fameho because Neman described the latest prank Redford pulled on him. OY!
I still think that Oprah should have the principal cast of The Good Shepherd. She would have 3 of the most interesting people in the film industry on her show at one time.
gitane ITA Father Time!
Brad has matured into a very attractive man, AFTER he hooked up with Angie and became a father. He also became more masculine looking, not pretty. If you spend 24/7 with the epitome of femininity, Angie, there is no way a man can stay pretty LOL She is no doubt by far the most beautiful woman inside and out, Brad has ever been with. Well done, Brad!

Isn’t this being a bit alarmist? Why would you fear for Angie in a live audience. Angelina might not be liked by some people, but beyond the tabloid world Angie is respected. I read this article today in Marie Claire written by Wentworth Ali, George Stephonopolous wife about celebrity advocating for their causes. For all the celebrities mentioned and praised, Angie was the only one singled out for gushing. The writer said she is so knowledgeable about her causes and that it is so funny seeing grown men rushing for their cell phones and bragging about who they just make. She said people in DC cannot wait for Jolie-Pitts to move to Georgetown not only because Angie has such succulent lips and a bod for sin, but because she knows how to get things done.
I say this because sometimes vocal minority are the loudest, that was why I started posting on this blog nearly two years ago, because I got tired of hearing how women hated Angie, and only one person that I know hated Angie because her husband is a dog and Angie is the unseen threat, besides her, most other women that I know like Angie even if they don’t care for her BBT days.
Serious minded people like Angelina and believe me the mini van sect are in the minority but they shriek the loudest. Nobody that I know will go on gossip blog, they don’t even know that I post on blogs and they think I am obssessed. Most people don’t care enough to go on blogs, but don’t be fooled, Brad and Angie are liked, admired and respected just not as loudly or as vocal as the non-fans.

Brava Indie! I’ve hated the phrase/label “minivan majority” ever since that gossip poacher Lainy first used it and it somehow tagged anyone who drives a van and watches Oprah as anti Angelina. I don’t drive a van, and I don’t watch Oprah enough to be called even a semi-regular, but I do know people who DO tool their kids around in SOCCER MOM-HONOR ROLL stickered guzzlers, and also never miss a day of genuflecting in front of the tube when OW is on her throne, and who also happen to love Angelina and will tell anyone who’ll listen they do. They love her for her care and concern of others and especially mothers and children. They get that. They admire her honesty about her life and her courage to do what she felt was right for her come what may. They love Angelina & Brad’s devotion to one another and the family they’ve created. Angelina I don’t think would have one problem showing up and dicussing the things important to her no matter the forum, and contrary to what some believe, or want to believe, she’d get the loudest applause, and probably a standing ovation, and the loudest to cheer, and first on their feet would no doubt in my mind be those from the “minivan majority.”

Thank you Jared for the video.He is so funny and cool.All this teasy game between him and Brad is just so amusing.

Brad has always been an attractive Man. Not just because of Angie.
above response to *Be Sane.
GC = Insecure lonely middle-aged man, whose only charm is expressed as smarm
How sad that he has to yet again refernce Brad Pitt, like they’re part of a Frat….but I guess GC’s maturity is at the level of insecure wannabes that exist in Frat Houses
How Sad!!
No matter how many of you, (mind you there seem to be only a handful here, at best) keep trying to endorse his “coolness” and “confidence”, video evidence and interviews reveal the deeper sense of this coat-tail riding smarmy media *****
Is the feeding frenzy of the piranhas over?

Good morning everyone . Thank you for providiing me endless hours of great reading on this wonderful JJ site.
There are numerous discussions or writeup of how popular JA is compared to Angelina. I never really get it so I went on a fact finding mission . Would you like to know the true stats of popularity of Brad Angelina or JA . Not that is matters as we all know amongst BA fans that there are alot of silent majority who do not blog or read tabs . They do their own research . Here’re the data
ON GOOGLE : Angelina search volume doubles that of JA . This dates back to year 2004 and tallied to date. The only 2 events that resulted in JA overtaking AJ in serach volume were 1. BP&JA divorce news in Jan 2005 and 2. JA “topless” man of the year GQ news in Dec 2005 . For all other months , AJ’s search volume doubles than of JA .
ON YAHOO : AJ has been on the TOP 5 (1-5) buzz actor search list - AJ was on chart for 890 days . JA within the top 20 ( between 10-20) -JA was on chart for 178 days
** FYI - Brad isn’t on Yahoo Top 20 buzz actor search chart but BP is on Google, searches. Ranking 3 of them, AJ’s search volume doubles that of JA and BP search volume in between AJ and JA.
There data are used by Marketers throughout the world to position that marketing strategies. There you have it, the FACT remains why media , advertisers and others are still fasinated with Brad and Angelina because they are the movers and leaders of searches .
The real lou
He sucked his thumb? Awwww….that is just the cutest, cutest thing. GC a thumb sucker….can’t get over that.
Amaya
I know….GC is so playful, that’s what I find endearing about him. How do you survive a place like Hollywood if you don’t have your sense of humor intact? Honestly, to me GC and BP make sense as friends…now throw JS in the mix, well there is no telling what will happene. Has either GC or BP been on TDS? I’m thinking GC was when he promoted Goodnight and Good Luck…..I’m not sure.
Brad and George are both elite A-listers in Hollywood plus good friends thru the years since Ocean’s 11. I think that they have a lot of respect and loyalty to one another. Both are powerful hollywood players who knows the game. I hope someday George will direct Brad and maybe Angie.
You are too uncool to get it, huh? Better stay with the masses. The types that say that Brad has no personality of his own. This subject is too insider for you
george is funny and i like brad’s card
Clooney is a famewhore alright. He loves to be the center of attention and I cringe every time I hear him talk about pretty boy Pitt, or how Matt Damon campaigned so hard for the title over and over again, because ya know, if it’s important to George, it has to be important to everybody else. But…obviously Brad isn’t holding a grudge about that “showbiz friends” quote and they’re still playing pranks on each other, so I can let it go.
KAL honey, I hope you don’t write your papers in Law School the same you do over here, but something tells me your identity was just made up as you were writing along as it happens with deluded Aniston fans, or just Angelina bashers. They’re all smart, do plenty of volunteer work, all weight 115 lbs and their husbands adore them…yet don’t trouble themselves with making sense while writing because they’re too busy on hating. I’m just surprised KAL said she’s from Nigeria. Surely you mean Namibia….as in ***** yes! Nut all namibiaNs luv Anjelina!///!!!!
Mary, AG put it much better than I can. When you’re done visiting femalefirst and dlisted, then you can come here and be appalled by how we take others appart. Until then, shove it sister.
Brad was entered in the GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS as the most searched for actor in 2005.
Oprah has burnt her bridge with William Bradley.
Look, Brad was squirming in his chair when Oprah was interviewing him for ‘Troy,’ and fawning all over ‘The Man,’ (and he was still married to her at that time!) so imagine if you will, how an interview TODAY would go over with either Brad or Angie.
Answer: AWKWARD. Possibly two answers: AWKWARD & PHONEY. Oprah can do both very well when she wants to (see Oprah’s two Maniston interviews). But Brad and Angelina are very honest and genuine people, that in my opinion, don’t mesh very well with the Oprahs of this world (see phoney blowhards). Even when Brad was on her show back in the day, I sensed it. Those two are not a good fit, ditto Angelina and Oprah (she had AJ on once, a couple years ago via sattelite about Darfur refugees I think - AJ was mesmerizing to O’s audience, you could hear a pin drop…she spoke very eloquently about their plight and was quite emotional in her re-telling of what she had seen - she was on the verge of tears…) when she was done…they panned back to Oprah, and Oprah seemed disconnected and just ‘off’ to me — very businesslike, and boom then she was off to the next segment.
It’s funny…I have never fully analyzed why until now…it’s because Oprah is a phony, and I think Brad and Angie, being the genuine people they are have a difficult time playing games with phony people who are trying to present themselves a certain way.
How come we can’t post under the Brad thread?
Gitane
E tu Gitane? Oy…who is gonna be on my bridal train? Anyway, I agree with you about father time. I can’t look at those pictures, I fear I may get a toothache…that’s how sweet they are. Thank God for maturity and aging like fine wine.
BBL….and have fun ladies. Don’t be too harsh on my George Clooney.
