OlderGeorge Clooney: I Am Not the Godfather
Mon, 07 April 2008 at 3:11 pm
George Clooney is denying reports he will be the godfather to his pal Brad Pitt’s fifth child with Angelina Jolie.
Recently, Clooney reportedly joked to paparazzi outside a Los Angeles restaurant that he had been asked by the celebrity couple to be godfather to their child.
Clooney’s rep made a clarification and said that the Leatherheads star was only joking. “He was just having a joke,” said the rep.
Leatherheads made around $13.5 million in ticket sales in its opening weekend, failing to meet expectations of $16 million set by the studio.

Thanks JJ. Now I have 3 threads to catch up on.
I can’t believe news sources were using paparazzi for sources in the first place.
George is everywhere nowadays. Too much publicity is not a good thing!!!!!! Looks what happened to his movie LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice seeing these three….
Why does he even feel it necessary to respond to stupidity? He needs to take a page out of Angelina and Brad’s playbook. Otherwise it just looks like he’s using the Brangelina baby to try and deflect attention from the galpal’s exploits.
IS THIS CONSIDERED A BRAD THREAD?
I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO POST!
yeah but he looks like he could play one in the movies. LOL
i knew he was kidding as soon as i read the quote from the paps
they asked clooney, “are you the godfather?”
and he said, “yes, i am”
OBVIOUSLY he was just joking!
Amy Winehouse Giorgio Armani Gig ($1 MILLION)! George Clooney and Julia Roberts offer Winehouse Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Celebrity May Gala

LALATE can now tell you that Giorgio Armani, host of the biggest social event the spring, has asked his co-chairs George Clooney and Julia Roberts to get Amy for $1 million!
The event is the celebrity smash gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute, New York, on May 5.
AWWWWW, THAT SUCKS!

Clooney is Not Kidman’s Baby’s Godfather:
There were reports last week that Nicole Kidman had asked George to be the Godfather of her child but Clooney’s rep says, “They are friends, but George was not asked to be the godfather.”
Its a shame about Leatherheads! I thought it looked quite good =]
wtf ,this is not a Brad thread, it is a george thread. I am back to Brad thread.
I have noticed at Blockbuster’s lately that George Clooneys latest movie is just sitting on the shelf-no takers! All that joking and laughing isn’t this how Tom Cruise started his down fall? And George, you could take some acting lessons from Mr. Heston films, instead of bashing him…shame on you!
George’s ex was much prettier than his current one.
Do their other kids have godparents?!
Clooney = Mr. Box Office prison
yahh…. I love his pay attenend joke to reporter…. Good joker person LOL
I know that this guy likes to talk, but I don’t think I am gonna believe what comes out of George’s mouth, unless I will want to.
Who thought he was anyway?!

clooney is an artist. he’s really a good writer and can really direct. If I were and up and coming actor/actress, I would try to cozy up to him. he’s connected up the ying yang and can get dumb movies greenlit. dont hate the playa hate the game.
I still wonder why he was the “sexiest man alive” once or twice. Not a fan of his facial features.
Can he be my godfather?
George Clooney Julia Roberts Amy Winehouse Performance Invitation $1 Million: Amy Winehouse Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Performance $1 Million
George Clooney and Julia Roberts have tapped twenty-four year old Grammy winner Amy Winehouse for a $1 million performance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute 2008 Spring exhibit on superhero fashion. The May 5th benefit gala, to be chaired by legendary designer Giorgio Armani, with George, Julia, and Vogue editor Anna Wintour sitting in as co-chairs, will feature more than seventy costumes and couture designs from the virtual world of supernatural fashions.
“Amy was taken a back when she learned that Clooney and Roberts were after her….She hasn’t really taken it in - and keeps saying that her life is getting more surreal by the second.”
“After the Grammys, it was expected Amy would be in demand. Clooney and Roberts’ reps have been phoning her offices and sending dozens of emails to convince her to take part. She’s seriously considering their generous offer.”
“Giorgio has made no secret to his friends that he would love to work with Amy. He sees this party as an ideal opportunity to sound her out about future projects together.”
HE NEEDS TO STOP TALKING ABOUT BRANGELINA EVERYWHERE HE GOES.
He’s the Cary Grant of our times and that’s saying a lot.
People magazine : Clooney not sexy.
Time magazine : Clooney can’t act.
Porgie probably made the story up to drum up some interest in his new dud of a movie. He knew darned good and well the razzi were going to report what he said. He could have said at the time that he was joking, but it kept his name in the news for a few days, “…and by the way, I have a new movie coming out on April 4!” That’s what famewh#re’s do and Porgie is nothing if not a first class famewh#re.
OMG PT you better hide yourself when the promotions for Burn After Reading start because you obviously can’t handle George just being himslef. You are gonna go bat chit caca when you see the both of them promoting the movie. You will be seeing and hearing all kinds of real and imagined things.from George.
I meant himself.

At least someone still believes in god. Unlike the rest of the scientology crew. What do these children of science have? Bill Nye the science-father?

If your IQ is over 60 it’s always pretty obvious when he’s answering in a sarcastic tone.
And the movie was actually good. The only reason it didn’t attract much of the 30 and below crowd is nothing blew up, got chased through the woods by something trying to kill it, it didn’t have an explicit sex scene, or someone having to remove their own limb with a power tool.
God forbid anyone know and appreciate the classics like Bringing Up Baby or His Girl Friday.
It was obvious he was joking. I don’t see anything wrong with George being George and I’m not going to dissect and find “motives” behind everything
thanks for the new thread, jj!
but I don’t think the kids have god-parents; considering they’re not catholic…I know the JP’s chose many religions to introduce to their children; not just catholicism/christianity.
They prob. think of him as Uncle George
Thanks JJ. I’m a GC fan and it’s cool how he, BP, MD and DC all enjoy what in my opinion is a genuine friendship amongst themselves. I pat them all on the backs for always willingly giving of their time & support to each others various humanitarian works, and I love the Rat Pack pt 2 offscreen/onscreen comraderie. I adore George’s dad more, but GC is up there lol.
jpf
At least George is class have a lot of sense of humour and is more intelligent than the idiot pitt Bull, something the bull doesn’t have and could never equal.
George is show business royalty.
His cousin Migeuel Ferrer isn’t too shabby either with his branch of the tree.
Have you guys been following the situation over at clooneystudio.com? such drama. To make it brief, she’s been running a beautiful and informative website for about 3 years then she said enough. In essence it seems like some seedy publications and gossip writers have been pilfering from her site with her not being credited. This is significant because George’s press agent had officially been sending that site exclusives, for the site only. It seems like a lot of nastiness went down behind the scences with these news organizations in addition to her just being paint tired. That site was not her source of income, it was hobby. Sounds like jealousy to me on the part of other bloggers and catty gossip hounds.. She said nothing will change her mind about reopening/updating the site.
Somebody Has to Be in Control
The effort behind George Clooney’s effortless charm.
by Ian Parker
April 14, 2008
George Clooney was at home in Los Angeles one afternoon in mid-January, a few days before he flew to Sudan in his new role as a United Nations “Messenger of Peace” (an appointment that overlooked reports of a recent public scuffle with Fabio, the leonine model). Clooney, who is unusual in being both very famous and, apparently, at ease with the fact—he can sometimes look like a spokesman for celebrity itself—was sitting on a long pale sofa, alongside Sarah Larson, his girlfriend.
His manner—nonchalance underpinned, it seemed, by vigilance and self-scrutiny—carried the suggestion that almost any divergence from banter was unforgivable artsy narcissism.
This is probably the performance for which Clooney, now forty-six, is still best known, even as he has become a Hollywood emperor, not to mention a left-leaning activist and a friend of Senator Barack Obama’s. Clooney is America’s national flirt, a pitchman on talk shows and red carpets who, against the background hum of the world’s lust and envy, is lightly ironic, clever, and self-deprecating, with furrowed brow and bobbing head, and a gyration in the lower jaw suggesting something being moved around under his tongue.
Clooney is one of a very small group of people who, when asked to consider the most satisfying parts of their lives, begin to describe business meetings: “Sitting in a room with a bunch of people who don’t want to make a film that you know is the right film to make. You’ll say, ‘You guys are going to hate this.’ I never thought I’d be in a position to say to someone, ‘I know you don’t want to make this movie, but if I’m doing it for free I can get it done somewhere.’ ” One can imagine the avidity with which Clooney began a career in film directing. He said to me that directing was “a thousand times” as satisfying as acting; “I consider my life as being a director.”

The last word from http://www.clooneystudio.com was that she was working on something and the site wasn’t closed down indefinitely. Maybe you should e-mail her before you start spreading things, she’s good with responding to fans. I do miss the site, it was excellent. The funny thing is she always included links or sources to where she received the information, she just wanted everyone to do the same. Maybe she is waiting for George Clooney to come to his senses and get rid of the problem girlfriend, then there will be less gossip mags stealing info or coming there for info.
I think Clooney’s jokes are getting stale!
I still think George is quite the man. He’s obviously aging but I think that has more to do with his health problems which really take their toll. Still, he can pull it together and look gorgeous.
I enjoy his sense of humor and manner while acknowledging that he’s far from perfect. But I think he has a decent heart and he seems to be trying to handle his celebrity with a certain amount of grace and humor. So he falls flat sometimes, at least he’s in the game.
Unfortunately, every clip or promo for Leatherheads that I’ve seen looks awful. Downright embarrassing. I kept thinking is this the BEST of the movie? Yikes. I was sort of looking forward to seeing it at least on DVD, so glad to hear someone enjoyed it. I hated Brother Where Art Thou (whatever its title). Just hated it.
As for his women - who cares? Not my problem. I don’t see a gun at either of their heads.
Interesting “hey fans” I am a regular at all the Clooney sites and I never heard the behind the scenes chatter. What is your source of information? I understand Clooneystudio closed her site down for lack of time to commit to it. As sad as we were to see it go, we respected her decision and wish her well.
Thanks for the new George thread Jared. I saw the video where George answered the paps question about being the new baby’s God parent. It is funny to me anyone is making a big deal about it. Looked like George gapped off his question and responded just to shut him up.
I can’t imagine the Jolie/Pitts would need God parents for their children. If they don’t believe in marriage, can’t imagine Christening their child would be high priority to either of them.
God parents are in place so if anything happens to the parents, the God parents would step forward, I can’t imagine George with 5 children suddenly. Hopefully if the Jolie/Pitt’s do have God parents, they will choose the members of Brad’s family over their celebrity friends.
Darn! I think he would do a good job!!!

Thanks!!
thank goodness!
Angelina has talked about Maddox’ s godmothers but I don’t know abut the rest of the kids.
tiger #44 “Godparent ” is not a legally recognized relationship in any of the United States. It is strictly an honorary position. If you want your children’s godparents to raise them after you’re gone you have to put it in a legal will.
oi leaderbrain thread!
haha yes I know Nonny Mouse.But, thanks for the legal tip.
although he’s very talented and hot as hell, I can’t seem to like him,
I don’t know why…
something feels off.
I hope I’m wrong.
His girlfriend is being exposed to many humiliations—he’s silent. He doesn’t say “F*CK OFF, she’ my love”
BUT when he’s exposed to a gossip where he’s talked about as the godfather of Brad and Angie’s child, he immediately responds :
“No, I’m not the Godfather”
WTF are you talking about Clooney?
PS: excuse the typos, I’m tipys tonite and English is my second language
CLINIQUA @ 04/07/2008 at 3:20 pm
Why does he even feel it necessary to respond to stupidity? He needs to take a page out of Angelina and Brad’s playbook. Otherwise it just looks like he’s using the Brangelina baby to try and deflect attention from the galpal’s exploits.
______________________________________________________
I agree. I would like for him to stick to his life and leave these people alone. He mentions them so much Brad and Angie’s ears must be burning all the time (old superstition that when people talk about you, your ears burn or itch) smile Geez if he was the Godfather he would never stop talking, as it is he brings them up constantly. Hope he never becomes a godfather to any of their children.
Trust me I do love George, but I wish he would stop riding Brad’s coat tail, He has a nice gig of his own.
Its a joke people!

Well said,
With regards to George Clooney’s acting chops he is an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award-winning American actor, a director, producer, and screenwriter. Not too shabby . . .
He is also and out spoken social activist and environmentalist, an in 2007 he and fellow actor Don Cheadle were presented with the Summit Peace Award by the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates at the 8th Annual Summit of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates in Rome.
Also, George has been extremely active in advocating a resolution of the tragic Darfur conflict. Not only has he visited the devastated and dangerous area, he has also spoken out on Oprah and was a speaker at the Save Darfur rally in Washington, D.C. In 2006 because of his tireless humanitarian work he was named by the United Nations in January of 2008 as a “Messenger of Peace”
His latest movie Leather Heads was a clever movie, entertaining and well done. . . not some shoot’em, kill’ em, sex-dripping, mindless bloodbath. I enjoyed it ~
But with all his outstanding qualities and accomplishments. . . .George does seems to have constant bad taste in women. . .
Scottie @ 04/07/2008 at 7:53 pm

nobody –
ok.
let’s say I AM not talking about his accomplishments right now. This is about somethng else.. Dig it?
I say good for him….
But as much as I can see, he’s not as smart as he seems.
I’ve got MANY other things to say about him..
But I’ll keep silent..
For now.
LOL.
*Hides face in shame because her loverman does not know when to shut up*
Why…GC why do you insist on giving people all the ammo they need to use against you?!!!!
A’ight PT…go ahead, i totally wash my hands off him. Oh who am i kidding…he’s in my blood like a bad virus. Guess, we’ll just keep the status quo, where you keep insulting him and I pretend you are showering him with praises. Hey have I told you that everytime I see the word Porgie, it reads Hunk to me?
You know george has been though a lot healthwise the past couple of years not including the motorcycle accident. He’s had problems recently recently with his teeth (that’s why they looked so brown) where he explained the almost medieval way they pulled out one of his tooth. He has an implant in that tooth and it’s been hel* for him painwise. I actually think living in Italy does wonders for him and is a place where he can recharge his batteries..
BBL,
you “brangelina” fans are weirdos. “he sould take a page out of brangelinas notebook” and “he needs to quit talking about them everywhere he goes” ?? lol. you guys are really weird. I am not a fan of either party, idk why im even reading this.. Just thought Id point out that those people are super odd.

if I start to tell you about the things I’ve been going through honey/…….
OH WELLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!
thanks for the good intentions ha??
BB L,
god knows if I ever want to be on this thread again.
I AIN’T NO MONEY MACHINE FOR FOR THIS CLOONEY GUY!!!
I truly admire George Clooney for all his work for Darfur. And his acting HAS won him many awards. He is handsome and funny and seems uneffected by alot of Hollywood’s shallowness. But I have to agree his taste in woman is pretty shakey. This last bimbo is almost young enough to be his daughter and it makes him look like the creepy old uncle at the family reunion that keeps eye-balling and hanging around all the young girls.
Just so people will know, you can’t bequeath your children to people in your will. They are not property. You can and should make known your wishes in your wills. A court would certainly consider those wishes especially if you explain the reasons for your decision. But it is the court in the end that grants custody and that decision is supposed to be determined by what is in the best interests of the child(ren).
As far as George’s choice in women that is just personal and there is no explaining why people like who they do. Perhaps as you get older you will appreciate how age has no place in the consideration of whom you love. I have been in long term relationships with partners way older and way younger. The love and commitment was not diminished in any way by an age difference. If you think about it, breaking the tired old age barrier opens up a whole other world of possibilities for you. That’s a wonderful prospect.

He got all this but was stump and unable to carry on in a UN press release. I can’t believe a man who is THAT accomplish had nothing..quickly…to say..and aboivd an embarrasing moment but to turn to the*same old same old* card - Brad Pitt this and Brad Pitt that…in the UN press release.
UN people…imagine that!
I mean talk about someone who does not know why he IS even there if all he got was to resort to hisd olde tired game of Brad Pitt this and Brad Pitt that…
No wonder some of the diplomats i.e. French and Russian made it known that they wanted nothing to do with him…and this was WAY BEFORE his press conference.
_________________
Let us go back to one of his Hollywood friendsL
Brad Pitt on Clonney - “he is good at playing the Hollywood game”
What Brad is saying is that…George is good at playing the game, presenting a certani image, saying this and that but when the going get tough or when he is called on to say something that requires him to rely on his intelligent, know-how other than the manufactured Hollywood a la the UN meeting that he did last year - all of a sudden he does not know what to do and therefore goes back to his old ways…”Brad this Brad that”
Yup yup..that is the class, activist(cough cough) highly respected man in Hollywood ..until you look closely…
P.S I am not PT.
lookwhaticando @ 04/07/2008 at 7:43 pm Trust me I do love George, but I wish he would stop riding Brad’s coat tail, He has a nice gig of his own.
I promised myself I wouldnt get caught up in all this again and I won’t, but it bugs me when I read things like GC riding BP’s coattails simply because he mentions his friend. Damon does it also, and BP in turn brings them into conversations here and there by the same token. I’m just not getting and have never gotten why the major negative tude about the man when it comes to BP. It’s not like he speaks ill of him, or is tearing him down at every turn, or at ANY turn for that matter. George doesn’t need to ride Brad’s coattails anymore than Brad needs to ride his or Matt’s or Don’s. I’m not suggesting anyone doesn’t have a right to their opinion about him, or a negative one at that, I’m just puzzled by how one or two disliking the guy got turned into what now seems the anti George Clooney league.
JMO
jpf
and to think he is older that Brad and all he does is during his promotions, vacays, red carpets…is the same old sh**t
Brad this
Brad that
talk about a 50 year old coat-tail rider.
Btw, has he uttered the name Brad in the same sentence as his latest box office? Cause, he can’t blame Pitt for that….
I want to share this with you because it feels good knowing that somebody who herself is intelligent, famous, accomplished & regarded as a very good role model in the Philippines also looks up to Angelina Jolie.
Excerpts from Manila Bulletin, p. D-8, March 26, 2008:
Among celebrity men & women - who is sexy to you & why?
“…ANGELINA JOLIE. Intelligence, motherhood, an all-embracing compassion, big soulful eyes, and the most beautiful lips on any human.” — LEA SALONGA (Internationally acclaimed Filipino stage actress/singer who won a Tony, Laurence Olivier, Outer Critics Circle, Theater World, etc.)
Why, everytime somebody mentioned BP or AJ’s name has to be coat ridden?
Why, does it sound like blasphemy if somebody even has the idea of blaming them?
why, can we not be free from the thought of it is only a name? A friend’s name? It is neither mantra or magical spell?
Are our brains tuned on the BP/AJ note? Are our brains and feelings chained and sucked and can not get free of speaking?
This tall dark handsome man….may be not your type, he’s not mine either, but he is a free-spirit man, intelligent, having sense of humour, and making a hell of excellent films. BP….hmh…until I see him again playing just like in “Kalifornia”…I prefer to be silence………..
rien:
did you ever read the posts above?????????
Ok let me take a WILD guess!!!
georgi boy THINKS that he wants Angie
BUT
he might be lusting after Brad.
(I said MIGHT you sucka!)
It´s funny how people seem to believe that Brad and George are so close, when they really don´t talk or even hang around much outside of their job.
@ ha? #71
Yes, I read it. I also read the other 69 posts. Maybe I am wrong, but every time somebody said something that included BP or AJ, then some people always have the idea that this person used BP/AJ’s name for their own benefit. Well, may be the way I said confused you, pardon me Gentle Sir/Lady.
Just read the last 3 rows, then you know that I talked about Clooney. If in this thread somebody even talk about AJ’s plan for a godmother for Maddox, GC’s health, the way GC treated his girlfriends, the situation of a GC’s fansite, his last movie, well, I think I can talk about some reactions towards the usage of BP/AJ’s name. GC made a “joke” about being Godfather for BP/AJ future’s child/en, didn’t he? BP??AJ??? And the alarm went on….
@ha?
Please do not misunderstand me. I think for many people, BP/AJ is an inspiration (my inspiration is somebody else). I only think we -fan or no fan - shall be lightened up a little bit. Especially if the”news” is from tab. IF George can not even make a joke that has something to with BP/AJ, pure joke -bad or good - what it shall be? I thought, they were friends. Real Friendship can stand almost anything, can’t it?
Or, somebody named “Orchid” gave me a good advice: If a post annoyes you, just skip it. It works for me! (Thanks, Orchid!)
black @ 04/08/2008 at 5:20 am It´s funny how people seem to believe that Brad and George are so close, when they really don´t talk or even hang around much outside of their job.
All respects to you Black, but they are. Being under one another’s behinds at every turn doesn’t cancel out the fact that they are great friends. I live now, and grew up for the most part in a town that tends to report every move George and his family makes, every relationship he shares (romantic or not), and a town in which he is still very much involved with various people who sometimes one or more “by nature” sometimes talk to much about things like who George considers close personal friends. In and of itself, it’s not a big deal since you nor I know him on a personal level, that said, I do know those who do and I repeat, he and Brad as well as Matt and Don are more than professional comrades whether you or anyone accepts that or not.
jpf
^^^
Make that “NOT being under one another’s behinds.”
jpf
the MSNBC story is NOT true.
AJ is in D.C. today
George é maravilhoso, inteligente, sedutor, carismático.
Pelo jeito não se importa muito com o que pensam sobre sua namorada.
apesar de sua idade (46 anos) ele tem capacidade para conquistar qualquer mulher, jovem ou não.
as pessoas que afirmam que ele é gay, e que ele parece um velho com meninas mais jovens, são uns invejosos!!
I love George

http://world.altavista.com/tr
Hey, I just found out his movie is landed in third place raking $12.7M, not as second place as previously reported. Nim’s island is now second place behind 21. Go to website rottentomato.com and find out.
Personally, I wait for it to come out video.
I just read that 11 page article on him!!! First of all who gets an 11 page article written about themselves? I guess George Clooney does. Facinating. It was like reading a book about him. I’m surpirsed no one has done so.
I got a better sense about who he is.
Basically he’s a old time Southern gentleman.
hmm. @ 04/07/2008 at 8:48 pm you “brangelina” fans are weirdos. “he sould take a page out of brangelinas notebook” and “he needs to quit talking about them everywhere he goes” ?? lol. you guys are really weird. I am not a fan of either party, idk why im even reading this.. Just thought Id point out that those people are super odd.
============
I think ur the one who is a weird because …. you said it yourself you’re not a fan and yet you’re on defense regarding clooney or maybe you’re a BIG LIAR and just ashamed to admit that you’re a Clooney fans YOU WIERDO!!!
from the new yorker article:
He then carefully made the point that none of his closest friends are movie stars. “There are people you spend a lot of time with, and people you enjoy seeing at the office party,” he said—the office party, in this context, being the Venice Film Festival. Speaking of his “Ocean’s” co-stars Brad Pitt and Matt Damon, he said, “Brad and I talk, and Matt and I talk, on a fairly regular basis—text each other, give each other ****.” But, he continued, “I have my friends, nine guys for twenty-five years; they’re the guys I see every Sunday.”
how he met his girlfriend:
Sarah Larson joined us. She is twenty-nine (or, as he later put it, “Her grandmother has posters of me”), and she first met Clooney three years ago, in Las Vegas, where she was working as a hostess at Gerber’s Whiskey Bar, but she has been a public part of his life only since last September, when she broke some toes, and Clooney a rib, in a motorcycle accident in New Jersey. “You can’t outrun paparazzi on crutches,” she later said. She still has a home in Vegas, but now spends a large part of her time with Clooney.
about theat voicemail message about Sarah:
The message was perhaps fan mail of a perverse kind, from a Clooney admirer in some way disappointed with Larson—for being young, or for being a non-celebrity and therefore an interloper. (There’s been some unpleasant press, and Larson brought it up with me: “They say that I’m a stripper. There’s a ton of stuff about that. I’ve never been a stripper. You know, just because I’m from Las Vegas I must be a stripper. Because I’m a cocktail server that means I’m an escort.”) Or it might have been a wrong number. Larson was not aghast, but she did not seem quite comfortable, either. Clooney, though, was punchy, seeming to accept the voicemail as no more than a test of his good humor: a chance to reconfirm his efficient, uncomplaining handling of the complications of a public life.
He is an awful and expressionless actor. I can’t remember even one film where his performance made a lasting impression. He is all looks without any substance or talent to go with it. He always makes sure there is a new opinionated little message out there so he’s not forgotten. I wish he would take his former escort girlfriend and just go away.
Brad Pitt on Clonney - “he is good at playing the Hollywood game”
If Brad really made that statement he has the same, exact impression of Clooney that I have. He is hypocritical, fake and narcissistic. The only thing George Clooney fears and cares about is indifference, and being in the media constantly is what matters to him. Being ignored is his only fear. I thinks he comes across as a complete phony, and apparently Brad agrees. What matters most is the fact that he cannot act. He is a worthless actor with great looks.
By the way, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if George reads these threads. He probably has his own fake ID here, writing positive opinions about himself. lol
If there is one actor in Hollywood who would do such a thing it is he.
OMG he is still sexy! I want to marry him. Georgeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Hey trista, if that is how you feel, why are you here? You are an embarrassment if George would ever take the time to read here.
And just so you know, I disagree with you. George has an amazing charisma on and off screen.
Get lost if you don’t like George.
Why? I have a right to my opinion, and this is not his fan board, you know.
George Clooney is an attention seeking, hypocritical and superficial actor, with great looks. He is all appearance and no substance. Everything he does is for PR. He has never made a lasting impression or a good performance in any film he is in. He is a great example of a shallow, American Hollywood style actor, without depth, personal character, or talent. As Brad Pitt said, “He is good at playing the Hollywood game”. That says it all. Are you George, by the way? lol
He never made a lasting appearance in any movie? How did he recieve an Oscar?
It is to his benefit that he knows how to play the Hollywood game better then any other actor living in that fishbowl. So, why single out George? All of the actors and actresses in Hollywood are attention seeking, all about appearance and no substance media whores. Some of them even involve innocent children in that game. Honestly, how sad is that?
You say that he is “without depth, personal character, or talent.” . I have to wonder, how did he get so famous without depth, personal character, or talent? He must be a master at playing that Hollywood game to reach such super stardom.Speaks volumes about all of them who have gained such a level of fame.I bet that has a pretty high price tag on it. I wonder if it is worth selling your soul? They all sure like to present it as such.
Oh and am I George? Not last time I checked, I have all female body parts.Lay off the bong trista, it has made you paranoid.:-)
Agree with you, Tiger. I saw Clooney for a long time, already, since he played a detective in a tele-series. I can say he changes through the years. Except Ocean 11-12-13, his films mostly have something to say. Expressionless? Wow, Trista must have known better about acting skill than the Jury in Oscar Award.
BTW, why do they have to report how much a film earns? Are we watching an entertainment or a stock market report? Are they trying to tell us, that a well-earned film is always a good film, so we have to watch it?
If Brad Pitt really said that, maybe it was some kind of admiration to his pal, and not irony?
Hi rien. I have to admit, George in the Oceans is my all time favorite work for him. He was great in Solaris and IC but, something about Danny Ocean was too close to the man I believe him to be. The man I image him to be. Loyal and crafty. And he is obviously a crook the way he took over Hollywood. LOL
Tinsel Town never knew what hit them when George stepped into the light. It loved him so much, it stayed focused on him. Brad Pitt has the same charisma. The light loves him. So in return, whoever is on the arm of these two men will always reap of benefits of standing beside them.
Brad is shy in his fame, with that comes the women (actresses) he embraces always try to steal his light, make out like they are the brighter star. Makes me laugh a when it comes to Brad because I think he could careless who is more famous. With George, he is the man in control, no woman could steal his light even if they bent over and exposed their crotch. Opps, what am I saying, his latest gal has done that. LOL
Still in his shadow, poor thang, you just gotta feel sorry for her.heehee
Tiger @ 12:33pm,
I agree with most of what you said but Angelina is the only one he’s been with that was already an A-list actress starring in her own successful movies (lara Croft etc..). George’s hook-up with Sarah is sort of like pretty woman , only sara is a ****-tail waitress and not a hooker. At least I think she’s not a hooker.
Hi Loveforfour. I don’t play video games so I don’t really know anything about Angelina or Lora Croft. If you say that makes her A list, I will take your word for it. I didn’t know the first thing about her until she hooked up with Brad. But, I must admit, I was so very tired of seeing JA’s face on every magazine cover. She was replaced by Angelina’s face after Brad hooked up with her, and to be completely honest, I am tired of seeing her face now too.
I remember back when he was with Gwennie, it was the same thing, she was everywhere. But, it really got weird when those two started to look alike with the same hairstyle and all. Imagine what would of happened if they had been married. Too scary to image.
On the other hand, I never really get tired of looking at George so I am thrilled his women don’t over shadow him. Funny,not even Julia could over shadow George and she is A list without a doubt and without a super star celebrity man on her arm. I guess she is the real Pretty Woman. George’s new gal could take a lesson or two from Julia and realize that George will always be the “center of attention” no matter who is on his arm.:-)
There is a picture of him on AOL’s entertainment page where he has a scruffy beard and a black tux on. Man oh man, I kid you you not, I about melted right out of my chair. So very fine.
To Tiger,
Angelina won an oscar, golden globe and many awards before ever co-starring with Brad in Mr and Mrs Smith. She had a successful career before meeting Brad. GP only won an oscar award for Shakespeare in Love after her break-up with Brad. Angie was already rich and equally well known as Brad. With Angie, Brad does’nt have to worry about being used because she was very well known before they got together. Her Lara craft movies were blockbusters. I only started watching Brad’s movies big-time after he got with Angie and was facinated by their stunning beauty. Like someone on VH1 said, “their beauty combined is so great it would set the world on fire” This is an exageration of course. It’s so funny because I can imagine these two mesmerized by each other’s outer and inner beauty.
@tiger
I think that is a man’s problem ;-)! If “the” woman steals the light, “the” man starts to be insecure…….But again, it depends on who the man is. Brad Pitt is a magnet for the camera. He can stay away from the water for weeks, still he looks good (I do not talk about the smell….). Since, not like GC, Pitt had only one woman (at time…sometimes it was too long…) we have to stand to see her face. JA is a very “special” case, because she did not change her style for many a time….GP is natural….too natural sometimes (I complain too much, I know). And then come AJ. The “fight” between JA and AJ…then..tuh, you have to stand “two faces” at once…
GC is different. He has a lot of women.Sometimes I think it is some kind of symbol of achievement, if you know what I mean… You will have no chance to see “a woman” in a long time. The last woman, if she makes him happy, I do not really bother what kind of Job she has. It is a job. It does not influence her character or love.
I read for quite some time, George was jealous with Danny. He called him “Julia’s cameraman” for quite a while. Why? Jealousy? Insecurity? Arrogance? If GC and JR were not only friend…what do you think would happen?
@Loveforfour
I watch Brad’s films for a long time. I stop watching them since Troy. I am a huge fan of Homer, and this film raped Homer’s book. I still can not forgive him. The last film (Jesse James) was tempting. But I saw the one with Henry Fonda already. So, I pass this film too.
And beauty is not my qualification for a good actor/actress. AJ is a good actress and I still watch her films…the changing performance in AMH is just amazing…and then she will be with James…(sigh)
Rien I think that is the point with George. I don’t believe he wants share his bright light of fame with anyone. He knows these common romances he has won’t amount to anything. And he gets the plug for making her famous. Interesting in Tinsel Town how you really don’t need any talent to be famous. It is all about appearence.
And loveforfour. I will agree that Brad and Angie make a spectacular looking couple. I hope they don’t set the world on fire because that would give evil the upper hand. But, I doubt that is their goal for this world. At least I hope not.
Of course they are mesmerized by one another. It is always about appearence for all of these celebrities. Could you ever imagine Brad or George with an unattractive woman? Could you picture Angie with a unattractive man? It wouldn’t fit in with their public image so of course appearence matters a great deal to all of them. I don’t know if that has anything to do with talent. I think talent is all in the eyes of the beholder. Angelina Jolie’s movies have never impressed me. For that matter George’s movies are too political to me at times. Brad had a run of movies that I enjoyed but since hooking up with Angelina, his private life completely over shadows all of his work in my opinion.
Bottomline is, when it comes to these celebrities, unless you have a huge bank account or a perfect face and body, I doubt any of them would give anyone who is a part of the general public the time of day. As long as they entertain with the drama in their private lives and dazzle the public with their beauty the public will buy into the image they are selling. Look at George’s new gal and the press she gets from sticking her ass in the air and showing off her female assets. She uses them to the full extent and honestly, I think George gets off on having men lust over his woman. He likes that playboy image. With Brad, he gets off on having the “it” girl in Hollywood on his arm. I doubt he would ever settle for anything less. Appearence is so very important to all of them, the women included.
@tiger
“Behind the phony tinsel of Hollywood lies the real tinsel,” Is this “The Tinsel Town” you mean?
That is why I love “actors/actresses” or even “directors” who can touch my heart with their works, such as: Ed Norton, Gary Oldman, Jude Law Helen Mirren, My beloved Anthony Minghella, Clint Eastwood, Glenn Close……
Clooney , his films give me reason to think. Not yet melts my heart though….
His personal life? Frankly my dear, I don;t give a damn!
And Brad Pitt, unless he plays just like in “12 Monkeys” or “Kalifornia”, I will give him a chance again (as if he cared!)
His Personal life? You know the answer already.
Which Ed Norton movie touched you rien?
I agree, Brad was great in Kalifornia. The one role I believe he should of won an Oscar for but, maybe it was too early in his career.
And rien, George didn’t melt your heart as Batman? I would go for a spin in the batmobile with him. “Fire up those engines Batman!!” I would be helpless to that ride!!
Can you give me an easier question?
I do not have to see his face to know that King Baldwin IV (Kingdom of Heaven) is Edward! Did you hear the sadness in his voice? Did you see the embracing power of death in his blue eyes?
I cried when he hugged Ed Furlong in American History X.
I cried when he sang with David Morse in Down in the Valley
And thrilled by his anger in Primal Fear.
And I wanted to fly to Shanghai to hug him in Painted Veil
So again, can you give me an easier question?
So George? Okay, the car yes, but George? To be honest? Ah, better not honest……Eh..I dunno.
I haven’t seen Kingdom of Heaven yet. I have tried to watch it a couple of times, but, it is a movie that takes a specific mood for me to sit through it. I want to check it out, hopefully it will be on when I am in the mood to watch it. LOL
I saw American History X. Ed Norton as amazing in that one. Real emotion came through on both sides of his character. I love when an actor can portray that in a character. At the beginning of the movie, his hatred. Man, it was almost chilling to watch his character. He deserved an Oscar for that one in my opinion.
Primal Fear, another one where I stopped and noticed this talented actor. He was really good in that one too. I loved him with Brad Pitt in Fight Club as well. Those two had an amazing on screen chemistry. George and Brad did too. It would be interesting to see if George and Ed would have it. What do you think rien?
If you do watch the film, try to get the director’s cut. Even Orlando looked different!
I could really smash his face in American History X (If his eyes did not melt my heart first…). He could be hated with passion! But then, at the end I cried with him, understood the pain that he’s been going through….
Did I tell you the ones I despised so much? WORM! (ROUNDERS). God, how can somebody so low like that exist! And JACK TELLER (THE SCORE). Arrogant and cold. But, big but, he ate Robert De Niro alive!! De Niro looked so pale in this film.
Yes, I like The Fight Club, too. Brad Pitt looked good in this film. I would like to see George and Edward together. The screen will be busted out because of their magnetisms! For sure!
What I like about Edward is that he doesn’t have to be in the central of attention to get one. In Primal Fear, Gere had all the lines for himself. But there is a split moment, when Edward changed his character, the whole screen was stolen!
So, Tiger. I have to warn you. Knowing that George loves the attention, don’t be disappointed when “my Edward” steals the whole screen…quietly, or even secretly. And knowing Edward, he will have no mercy!!
You are right about Ed Norton, he blends in. That is a gift for sure. More so once they have achieved fame.
Has Ed Norton ever won an Oscar? I don’t follow his work close enough to know.
The ones who are the true talents are the ones who can blend in. They don’t need to feed off their private life to stay active in the Hollywood game. They use their talent to keep them there. So very interesting to watch from a distance.They hold onto fame so tight, the art of the craft is lost. And so is the talent. Bizarre to say the least!
Not that I know. He won Golden Globe for his role in Primal Fear. 2x nomination. I though Painted Veil was nominated, but I guess I was wrong. What a shame, Scorcesse won for a re-make film! I like the original one better.
The problem with Edward is, that he is a pain in the ass, so they say. I see it as an artist tries to keep his integrity. If you follow the wish of the producers all the time, by the end of your carrier you will not recognize yourself any more. I think Edward doesn’t want that. May be he does not make so many blockbuster, but hey, since it is a film, an art, then it does not have to be. Matrix was a blo
