One might think that a 53 year old man with a bad back who just got engaged to that rarest of birds, “a woman at his level,” would probably not want some debauched bachelor party. After all, George Clooney’s life for the past two decades has been something of a non-stop bachelor party. And now that he’s with his intellectual equal (eye-roll), wouldn’t he realize the shallowness of all that boozing and partying? Maybe, maybe not. According to In Touch Weekly, George’s bros are planning an X-rated bachelor party:
George Clooney’s A-list friends are planning the ultimate bachelor party for him, In Touch Weekly has exclusively learned. And it won’t be just any typical send-off, especially when you were known as the world’s most famous bachelor!
“His friends were talking about strippers, alcohol and barhopping,” an eyewitness at Tre Lune in Montecito, Calif., who heard George discussing the bash with his pals, tells In Touch. “He seemed thrilled to hear that his buddies were preparing an X-rated celebration!”
Although the wedding is set to be in Italy in September, a source tells the mag that the bachelor party will likely occur in the U.S. prior to the nuptials.
One possible location for the event? The nearby Spearmint Rhino Gentleman’s Club in Santa Barbara, according to the source, but George is trying to keep plans hush-hush.
“George kept telling his buds to keep the plans on the down low,” the eyewitness tells In Touch. And that includes keeping them hidden from George himself. “George said more than once, ‘Am I supposed to be hearing all this? Just surprise me!’” the eyewitness shares.
Hm. I do wonder if George is having some buyer’s remorse about the whole engagement rollout with Amal Alamuddin, or even some hesitation in general about marriage. Granted, George wants people to stop laughing at him and joking about how he could never make it work with a woman of substance. But as I keep saying… he actually enjoyed the relationships he had with his C-list girlfriends. He likes when a woman is at his beck-and-call. He likes giving them makeovers, Pretty Woman-style. He likes when they don’t make too many demands. Even if he goes through with the wedding, I feel like he’s going to have a tough adjustment to being one half of a power couple where his wife actually expects him to be at HER beck-and-call.

Ahhhh, can’t wait to see how their marriage is going to be. Hilarious.
They’ll never get to the altar…the cracks are already showing in this relationship; such as, his not bothering to show up to her most important work event, her first book signing just a few days ago, which he managed to ignore and not attend. Not the sign of someone whose about to get married to the love of his life. Also NOT what I would call George being at Amal’s “beck and call” either!
So far, I see her doing all the running…nothing new here!
How very mature.
Nothing more fun than a bunch of rich Hwood egomaniac aging men trying to act like the Wolf Pack and do a PG version of The Hangover.
This whole marriage thing is odd to me on so many levels. I believe they will tie the old knot.I do not believe they are a love match. It is a business arrangement. What that arrangement is at this point, I do not know. Time will tell.
I don’t believe for a minute Amal “expects him to be at her beck and call”. This whole thing has been weird from the jump.
I don’t think there’s any love there either, and it does seem like a deal of some sort.
Ditto. They seem really mismatched.
we don’t know anything about this woman, except that she’s a barrister and has at least a couple of controversial international cases.
other than that, what we know is from the clooney PR farm.
that’s where we get that she’s his equal, that she’ll expect this or that from him.
an image carefully choreographed by the paid image staff to rebuild his playboy image.
all ahead of a political run.
i’d have had more respect for him if he pursued his political aspirations and stayed either single, or kept his romantic life private.
but it’s such an obvious move to roll out the sudden love of his life…
smacks of set up, paid, PR.
phiiifffff…….
Oh, George is still planning on going through with this charade? What a joke. Nobody is buying this contractual agreement is”love”.
I don’t like him, and I have no real reason for it…I just don’t. :/
He is like…a know-it-all. Ahaha. That’s why I don’t like him at least.
If it happens and that is a big if it won’t last long George isn’t the marrying kind and Amal is in it for all the wrong reasons. They haven’t been together for weeks something is wrong with these two.
I was sort of embarrassed by the big PR roll out of the engagement, not as embarrassed as I was/is for Depp, but it reeks of mid-life crisis and desperation. I’ll keep beating that drum though, he’s not going to run for office; too many skeletons. He’s wants an appointment. Ambassador to Ireland…
Ambassador in Vatican!!!!
and it’s only a little ways away from his Seat of Del Lago Di Como.
The position of the ambassador for Ireland has already been filled by a New England lawyer btw.
Are you talking about Dwyer? He’s an interim.
People say his c-list girlfriends were contracts. Who’s to say this isn’t a marriage contract to try to gain credibility for a political run? Even if she is a strong, independent woman, she might like the fame and fortune that comes with marrying such a high profile guy. She wouldn’t be the first.
It’s just hard to reconcile the things he preaches with things he does. Environmental issues while private jetting around the world. Speaking out against the press while courting them in his most personal matters. This guy doesn’t seem to be sincere in any way.
People say he has contracts. LOL Oh, it’s fact because a few posters on gossip sites love to throw that word around.
I don’t doubt at all it’s another contract- only on a more ‘sophisticated’ level. And also yes to Clooney being insincere, a lot of his actions belie his words. The thing that matters most to him, is his image, and with this arrangement he seems to go out of his way to fix it. And although Amal might be an independent woman professionally, I doubt she’s very experienced regarding ‘intimate’ relationships. But Clooney himself isn’t really very mature either.
This whole thing is just weird. This really is similar to Tommy boy’s PR unraveling about 10 years ago.
P.S. – Which of the a-list buddies is bringing the extra strength back brace? You know he’ll need it.
Again 3 months before THE EVENT( roll eyes) of the millenium
Who won’t invited ? Who is invited ? Who come? will be the questions of july
I just read an article related to Amal skipping his big family reunion in Kentucky. A family friend described her as his equal. I found it hilarious that even the folks in his hometown are quoting the PR script.
The guy runs Rosemary’s museum, so perhaps he got a copy of the talking points in advance. The article also claims his parents are getting ready to travel and help him get ready for the wedding.
That older aunt always mouths off at inappropriate times as I’m sure other people from Kentucky do like in articles by people from Kentucky. It looks like that story was sold to the Daily Mail. They get tidbits of info and then tell it because it makes them feel important when rags call.
His aunt doesn’t know anything but loves to talk like she does. One minute she says he’s getting married in Kentucky, then Italy. It reminds me of my father’s aunt when I was young, and everybody just humored her and out of respect for her age didn’t get upset with her.
@Jayna
You’re all over Celebitchy’s Clooney posts gushing about George and stating over and over how you’re convinced this engagement is the real deal, couldn’t possibly be a PR strategy and how he’s just like your numerous friends who’ve finally met their match and changed their bachelor ways yet you trash his family? He’s from Kentucky too, you know. Any diversion, right? Oh, and you missed a few comments but it’s still early.
@Neutral, give me time. I’ll get there. LOL
Why would his family be traveling to help “HIM” with the wedding. One would think that Amal and her family would be planning her big day. OR she and George would be planning the big day.
A bigger question is why is he (or some member of his family) releasing private family photos to the Daily Mail? KK has a special relationship with them, which is understandable (she is on their “level” for sure) but I expected more of Clooney. He has to get married now as not going through with it after all of this PR would be more embarrassing.
Also the article said Brad Pitt was going to be his best friend. LOL Brad and he rarely see each other. Rande Gerber is one of his best friends as are a few others from way back in his life. Brad wouldn’t even be on his short list for best man. I take these stories with a grain of salt.
Last Month they claimed Matt Damon will be Best Man.Tabloids pulling A list celebrities out of their asses.Besides Rande most of George buddies are C list actors he has been friends with for twenty years
Supposedly the parents are going to scout locations or something. My guess is they are simply going to Italy for the usual summer trip. I do think this was a case of loose lipped conjecture for the most part, but I thought it was funny that the one guy used equal in his description.
George’s parents had their house painted and shrubs trimmed before the reunion. Oh, the details.
Is this guy really cut out for commitment?
There was a man we all knew through work who was so outgoing and charming and handsome but said he would never marry and dated and had girlfriends for two, three, five years. His sometimes off, mostly on five-year relationship broke up because he wouldn’t marry her and had no desire for children. He was almost 50 and fell in love with a woman who wasn’t a young thing, so not a midlife crisis. She was about 39 or 40, and he married her. He is so happily married. They just work as a couple and it was the right time in his life. People were stunned not only that he got married but the other change he made. He didn’t have kids, but they adore their two big dogs. They are his children. This successful workaholic stepped back from his career and she took time off, and they traveled around the country together. They just fit and are a great couple and timing had a lot to do with it. Right person at the right time.
Maybe George met her and wants to commit and have something more. People evolve as the years go by. Maybe being in his fifties and accomplishing everything he ever wanted to and then meeting her made him want to change direction on some things.
Wish all the world’s strippers would boycott him. He and his wedding to “his equal” are just sooo important. bleh
As others have said, this is bizarre. This guy has been firmly against marriage for years and then all of a sudden proposes to this woman out of nowhere after, what, a few months? Far be it from me to question anyone’s love story, but I’ll be shocked if this actually happens and even if it does, there’s no way you’ll ever convince me this is anything but a business arrangement. He wants to go into politics and he needs a proper wife. And I’m no George Clooney fangirl by any stretch. News of this engagement was met with barely a second thought by me. But now that I’ve seen a few posts about this here I’ve spent a little time thinking about it. Its very weird and very obvious what this is.
On a side note, this woman looks like the biggest sourpuss. I haven’t seen one picture of her with a genuine smile. Just a bunch with her making the duck face.
After dating six months. It’s still fast considering George’s history and I would think he wouldn’t rush into something, but it wasn’t a few months, like three or so. And they will marry on their one-year anniversary. I don’t consider getting married after a year rushing at a certain age especially. It’s not a two-month shotgun wedding. I do agree, it’s still out of the norm for George.
I agree it’s entirely possible to change one’s thinking and decide to commit. But he has been so adamant, and there is truly something about her that makes me think this is a bit off. Maybe it’s all genuine and heartfelt, though. Time will tell.
@ Jenya 10-17 I think you and I are of the same mind when it comes to this relationship.I don’t believe it’s a contract or a marriage of convenience.I think his divorce was very painful and it was something that he didn’t care to repeat again.I think he just wanted to focus more on his career until it was where he wanted it to be and now that that part of his life is set he may have been more open to finding that person to spend the rest of his life with.He has not been so anti- marriage over the last few years but more of a “I haven’t met the right person yet”
I might be wrong, but I don’t think so. A FEW YEARS AGO I saw an online news story with a photograph of George Clooney and his current future bride. He was allegedly slipping out of her hotel room from their adjoining balconies. According to the article he had just cheated on his current girlfriend with her. The reason I remember is because the article stated that she spoke several languages and she was rather plain looking.
So, I was very surprised to learn that gossip rags are stating that they recently met.
If anybody cares, find and post the link to that old story. It was more than one story about them at that time.
15 years ago, I married my husband 4 months after meeting him, and after a few longish relationships. Sometimes it just works like that. And he has always said he doesn’t think he is husband material, but if the it felt right he would consider it. Consistent, but not adamant.
@Gelina: it might have been Monika Jakisic, not Amal. From far, they look alike, slender frame, dark, long hair. Jakisic probably is/was his London-based ‘call girl’ when travelling Europe. They were usually seen together in bars/hotels. Although I do believe there is more to Amal than meets the eye- it might not be in that department.
Did he have his eyelids done?
Some years ago
Yes but with Amal’s insistence on a ‘healthy eating regime’ he’s probably going to emerge shortly ‘refreshed’ – having had them done again.
It’s a PR campaign with all the grace and subtlety of an elephant on roller skates. Next will be the ‘intimate, private’ shots of him and his friends on their ‘outrageous’ (and highly choreographed) bachelor weekend . Then a ‘spat’ with Amal over it that ‘threatens the marriage’ then a dramatic make-up just before the ceremony/signing the contract. Anything to keep it all in the public eye, anything to ‘change the PR story’ and change his carefully constructed ‘playboy’ image into another carefully constructed image to make him fit for public office somewhere. It’s all so bleeding obvious…sighs
Right on th money
“One possible location for the event? The nearby Spearmint Rhino Gentleman’s Club in Santa Barbara.”
I really had to chuckle at this. One of George Clooney’s ex-girlfriends is Sarah Talley. He dated her when she was a stripper at the Spearmint Rhino in Vegas. So yes, his dating life was every bit a decades long bachelor party.
Alcohol, strippers, barhopping……sounds really x-rated!!! PR fail again George!
I wonder what his future inlaws will say to this…
Yes, because nothing says “I’ve met my match” like getting together with other aging douches to pay for and ogle naked women who aren’t your girlfriend… She must be so proud.
Really. What are they, 14? Ugh.
I would have thought that that kind of bachelor party would be passe now but I guess not.
Regarding the odd timing of all of this, I kind of wonder if it is true that Stacy Keibler was the one who ended their relationship. She quickly found another man (perhaps seeing him before ending it with George?), got pregnant and married in a flash, making it seem that George was a fun two year romp and nothing more. Maybe George cared for her more than he let on and is covering a broken heart (or bruised ego) with a round of “two can play at that game”. Compared to George’s previous lady friends, Amal is not a stunning beauty and they don’t seem to spend a great deal of time together. After all of these years of claiming he would NEVER marry again, I just don’t get the sudden rush to the altar after a five month courtship. Some say it is motivated by George’s political aspirations but I don’t see her as being a particular asset here in the States with her familial ties to the Middle East even though she was raised and educated in England. So what if Amal is seen as being smart, most of Clooney’s long-term arm candy have been college educated. Very strange, indeed.
That relationship had been over for months. He was in another country filming. He never showed an ounce of pride in her. He let it die naturally until she finally pulled the plug. Passive aggressive behavior by George, and Stacy hanging on for the fame and career until there was nothing left. If she started seeing this guy, it was because George could care less about her.
I agree with your comment. George is known for being petty and holding a grudge (i.e. Bill O’Reilly). If his last girlfriend had not gotten pregnant and moved swiftly into marriage, I honestly believe he would not be stumbling down the aisle later this year. And, if he gets married in Italy, I imagine it would be to spite his former Italian girlfriend, the one who strongly hinted that he was gay (i.e. father/daughter relationship… lol).
I hope he is not making mistakes. I still like the Italian Queen.
Why would anyone doubt he’s going to to go through with it? Since the announcement, this engagement has been chugging along totally on track. One announcement after another, like clockwork.
Do you think he’d get this far and then have cold feet? Nah, this is so scheduled it makes the rumors plausible that it’s planned so he can run for office.
Cold feet? No evidence.
True. If it’s a calculated move, and it sure looks like it, no cold feet fo him. He will be married, and they will be apart most of the times due to ‘busy working schedules’. Ones in a while they will meet up in one of the houses, or take a vacation together, and we’ll see nice pics. Clever PR move, but very obvious.
As Kaiser said, debauchery seems to be a way of life for Clooney and his buds, so how is this special? It’s puerile and unimaginative. Feh. Major fail, Mr Clooney.
I hope he has fun. He’ll have some explaining to do if it’s true that he cheated on her twice in six months! I guess she has not tamed him. She did not attend family get together nor did he attend when she received a presentation in London. All that galavanting around these events were planned a while ago, so what’s with the missed appearances.
