Jerry Seinfeld and George Clooney Returning to Primetime

I’m not sure which one I am more thrilled about. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry Seinfeld is finally returning to the small screen after more than a decade’s absence. According to reports, the popular comedian turned actor is planning to star in a new sitcom for NBC called The Marriage Ref. In an interview with Variety, the Seinfeld star show will tackle the highs and lows of married life. “This is not a therapy show, it’s a comedy show,” Seinfeld bemused. “After nine years of marriage, I have discovered that the comedic potential of this subject is quite rich.” The series, which … Continue reading

George Clooney the Peacemaker

In 1997 George Clooney starred in a movie with Nicole Kidman called “The Peacemaker.” In the film Kidman plays a nuclear expert and Clooney a Special Forces Intelligence Officer. Both are called to investigate a train crash in Russia that includes a nuclear payload, only neither Clooney nor Kidman’s characters believe the crash was an “accident.” It was a sleeper of a movie, but its title is quite fitting to describe the role Clooney is now playing in the real life drama that involves two rival Hollywood actors unions. The handsome star is pleading with the warring factions to put … Continue reading

George Clooney—–Peace Keeper

He has been called many a name in his lifetime (most of the negative ones came courtesy of Fabio), but George Clooney says “peace keeper” is not one he is referred to very often. However, if the shoe fits… The handsome actor is back in the headlines again today after donating $5.6 million to help the United Nations peacekeeping force in war-torn Sudan buy a fleet of helicopters. How’s that for digging deep? Clooney, who was recently named a U.N. Messenger of Peace, has been one of the most outspoken celebrity advocates for the victims in the impoverished Darfur region. … Continue reading

REAL or RUMOR? Clooney Heading Back to “ER” and Madonna Getting Divorced

CLOONEY HEADING BACK TO “ER” He has won an Oscar and a Golden Globe since leaving “ER” nearly a decade ago and now rumors are circulating that George Clooney might be heading back to the show that helped make him famous. Turns out this one is pure rumor. But, oh how I wish this one was true. I really haven’t watched the hit NBC drama series since Clooney’s character, the hunky Dr. Doug “you-can-examine-me-anytime” Ross, left in 1999. Clooney tells TV’s “Entertainment Tonight” that the story came out of nowhere and took on a life of its own. Bottom line, … Continue reading

Pop Culture Potpourri: Actor’s Dogs are Not Killers and Clooney’s Latest Award

Ving Rhames’ dogs didn’t kill anyone. Or so claims a new report that was compiled after an exhaustive five-month investigation. According to the Los Angeles Department of Coroner, 40-year-old Jacob Adams, the man who was found dead on the front lawn of the actor’s L.A. home back in August was not mauled to death by Rhames’ dogs as police first reported. Rather, the coroner found that Adams “died because of a preexisting heart problem.” As for the dog bites found on him the coroner determined they were “non-fatal.” Rhames was out of the country filming a movie when his friend … Continue reading

George Clooney Nobel Peace Prize Winner?

It appears he may be well on his way. The handsome actor who has graced many a magazine cover is making headlines again—-this time though, it has nothing to do with his relationship with Fabio or his comments about Britney Spears. George Clooney along with celeb pal Don Cheadle are being honored for their efforts to bring peace to Africa’s war-torn Darfur region. But the honor is not being bestowed upon the two actors by just anyone. Clooney and Cheadle will be flying to Rome next month to accept the 2007 Peace Summit Award from the 8th World Summit of … Continue reading

George Clooney Defends Britney Spears

George Clooney doesn’t have much to say about Britney Spears’ parenting skills (or lack there of), but he is coming to her defense regarding the way the paparazzi hounds her. The former “ER” hunk went public with harsh remarks aimed at the paparazzi during a recent interview with news reporters. Last week the 46-year-old actor pulled off to the side of an L.A. street while he was riding his motorcycle with his girlfriend, Sarah Larson. He then spent 10 minutes admonishing the paps for getting too close for comfort. In a video clip posted on TMZ.com Clooney lays into the … Continue reading

Celebrity Updates: Fabio vs. George Fallout and “Hannah Montana” Sky High Ticket Prices

George Clooney is a “low-class scumbag.” At least according to the famous longhaired literary lover Fabio. As you’ll recall from my previous blog, the actor (best known for his role in those butter substitute commercials) and movie star George Clooney recently got into a scuffle at a Beverly Hills restaurant after the former “Facts of Life” star allegedly insulted some of Fabio’s female companions. The romance novel icon stunned diners at the upscale eatery when he exchanged fighting words with Clooney before both men started to get unflatteringly physical with each other. Now Fabio is going on the record, defending … Continue reading
