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.

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..

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.
Scottie @ 04/07/2008 at 7:53 pm 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. . .

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.

^^^
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

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.:-)
