George Clooney: I Am Not the Godfather

George Clooney: I Am Not the Godfather

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.

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 :)

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.

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. . .

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..

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.

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.

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!)
