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.

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.:-)
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.
