Yes, I know he doesn’t know I am alive. And yes, I know that even if he did it’s unlikley that he would give me more than the time of day (if that). Still, I joined millions of other women around the world in breathing a sigh of relief when h-h-h-HOTtie George Clooney split with uber-gorgeous model Sarah Larson a few weeks back.

According to reports, the “Leatherheads” star was the one who ended the relationship with the stunning Larson. So what was … Continue reading →

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.

Turns out this one is pure rumor. But, oh how I wish this one was true.

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 →
