I’ve sort of come out on the other side on George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin’s engagement and the flurry of nonsensical reports about how loved-up they are. I used to just feel bewildered and disconcerted by how out of character all of this was. Now I’m just sitting back and enjoying it. It’s crazy and it will get even crazier if and when they finally do get hitched, which is maybe two weekends away. In the meantime, E! News reports that George and Amal had another lovey-dovey outing this week:
The love is definitely in the air for George Clooney and his bride-to-be Amal Alamuddin.
After gushing about his fiancée at the Celebrity Fight Night Gala over the weekend, Clooney and his future wife went out for an “intimate” Italian dinner date at Harry’s Bar on Tuesday night.
An eyewitness tells E! News that the couple were “all smiles as they made their way inside the restaurant and looked very much in love” as they cozied up to each other at one point. “Amal showed off her huge engagement ring as the pair shared a romantic moment,” the insider added, noting that they were there for a couple of hours and that George frequents Harry’s often while in Italy.
The pair made their first red carpet appearance over the weekend, and their romantic evening out on the town was overflowing with PDA.
Clooney gushed about his lady while giving a speech at the event, telling the crowd, “I’ve met my bride-to-be in Italy and I will be married in Italy soon, in a couple of weeks. In Venice of all places! In closing, I guess what I would like to say is to my bride-to-be, Amal, that I love you very much and I can’t wait to be your husband.”
A guest told E! News, “She seemed so touched and overwhelmed and at that moment they looked right at each other and it was as if there was no one else in the room.”
Who is providing these sappy quotes to media outlets? Is it George’s publicist? Or is it the gossip zeitgeist, that George “has changed” and Amal is The One? And she adores her Sexiest Man Alive, The Forever Bachelor as well… “it was as if there was no one else in the room.” Barf.
Also – there are reports that George and Amal’s Venice wedding with just include about 60 people. 60 people plus Anna Wintour and the Vogue photographers, I’m hoping. Us Weekly says that they’ll do the civil ceremony this Friday in London, then on September 27th, they’ll do a bigger (but exclusive) wedding party at Venice’s Hotel Cipriani. So far the guest list does not include Brangelina, Matt Damon or Ben Affleck but does include Cindy Crawford, John Krasinski and Julianna Margulies.

Now… are we taking bets to see if we get a Clooney news every day? I’ve to say that I’m totally disappointed because I’m ‘almost’ sure this stuff is planted by his camp.
ETA: how’s going the puke challenge? Are we there yet?
for our sanity’s sake I hope you are wrong, but I know you are right. And I bought an extra large bucket yesterday, so am well-equipped.
I think he’ll be running for office in California eventually so we have to know he is a wifed up family man
Lady Macbeth, you know I’m with you, but just to clarify…we just puke in the bucket, we don’t have to pour it over our heads, right? I’m using a monogrammed bucket, btw, because I have style.
Blimey, why didn’t i think of that?
Oh mine is monogrammed too. Of course I have style too. You know, in a Clooney thread we must be on his level, i.e. classy and smart.
Not pouring over our heads, that would be too much. Must collect it all and ship it to Venice, delivered just before the wedding. In September they won’t even notice the smell, the Laguna stinks as hell.
My barf bucket is decorated with kittens, like Taylor Swift’s cellphone.
I shall use my bucket while wearing a gorgeous muumuu, because I’m classy like that.
Me and my bucket will look at each other like we are the only things in the room.
Did you get one of the of the muumuus in the waterproof fabric? Those are great for puke spillage–I mean, in case you don’t get to the bucket in time.
Don’t ask me how I know.
I should have looked into that! Instead I just sprayed myself down with Scotchguard fabric and upholstery protector. It doesn’t smell great, but it actually quells some of the nausea induced by George’s sweet nothings.
Puke challenge going well, 1 normal bucket and 2 large spare buckets *charges out of room to bathroom for the umpteenth time…
Can I join this challenge? The daily Clooney news have been so nauseating that when I decide to post , the post is deleted, lol. It could be a side-effect of the eye-rolling news.
There’s an autodeletion policy if the puking is too much… Must be the overwhelming stink…
Welcome to the pukechallenge2014 Miss M 🙂
Thank you! It is indeed very challenging.
A ha! Thanks for clarifying the policy. I knew something was up. This new Clooney and his prmance is too much for my stomach.
ps: I hope he is really in love, but the cynical in me doesn’t believe it.
I can believe he is in love, but he should stop to scream that out off the rooftops lol
If there is the 9/12 private ceremony and the 9/27 ceremony- I need two buckets. Tomorrow I use the smaller one, but by 9/27 I am going to need an industrial strength bucket. Home Depot here I come.
Get Princes Kate in on the challenge – how much would celebs pay to have Kate puke on them with her Hyperemesis Gravidarum – she could make millions for Childrens Charities with this. George could be first up.
Great idea, must contact Buckingham Palace immediately!
Not even close. I think we will all be puking up until this marriage takes place. The we have to contend with the honeymoon, possibly first child, etc.
This whole situation is sickening.
You are right.
I so wish they would stop feeding the papers…. Why don’t they just get married? I actually thought George was wiser than this. I even liked Amal, but we are ODing on their news every day now.
When they first announced engagement, I said in this site and others that this was a total PR thing and there is no real love here. Some of CB commentators did not agree with me and I understand. Being a GC fan is hard to accept the opposite. This woman is a famewhore on her own, like Kardashians, but just classier. He is playing a bigger game as he wants to run for office so they are match made in heaven and they are both playing each-other very well. They both know it but they both don’t care as their egos and their bigger aspirations are key to their future.
I feel nauseous reading this , definitely TomKat 2.0.
+1000
Next stop….couch jumping!!
Oh what fun it would be to see George Clooney and Tom Cruise duke it out on Oprah’s couch. And, unless George gets Brad Pitt and Maddox to help him out with some distractions, Cruise would likely win as he is in fantastic shape.
All we need is George jumping on a couch declaring his love on Oprah
He can’t jump because of his back! So instead he says “I love you to death.” Does anybody really use that expression? I guess it comes from “I love you until death do us part,” but usually love and death aren’t a great combination.
Can anybody tell me if she has any bridesmaids? Friends? Wedding guests? To me she is very mysterious. No one is saying “I’m so thrilled for her blah blah blah.”
Am I the only one who is enjoying this tremendously? I mean, I feel like George is cheeckily winking at us with this stuff, like he’s saying:”You know what, this IS an arrangement that satisfies both parties, let’s have fun with this lovey-dovey stuff, shall we?”.
Also, I feel like he chose the perfect mate for an hipotethical future political campaign of his. She’s involved,she’s a lawyer, she’s pretty, she’s from an interesting background… She makes sense. I approve.
I’m happy for him. I’ve always liked him, why not? I wish them a lifetime of love, happiness, politics and maybe one little baby! Good luck!

I guess we a small lil fan club of “Ama G”? She’s no barbie, but exotic and accomplished. I love her woodland creature face, cute and surprised. And george needed to hang up the brat pack hat, so here we go. I’m in.
Yes. Except I think I care even less about these two than TomKat.
I just don’t like George. Even before all of this. I mean, I like watching his movies and all, so it’s not his acting that bothers me. It’s that he’s WAY too conscious of his movie star status. I feel like his charm comes off as forced. The Oscar Roundtables are GREAT for seeing how a celeb really is. All George is is ME ME ME. “Back when I picked tobacco in Kentucky….” “In Kentucky, I….” “I’m from Kentucky…”……God, if I have to hear about Kentucky one. more. time. I’ll scream.
And I was annoyed by him BEFORE the girlfriend roll out came, so just imagine how I feel now. I have no clue if they are for real or not–and I don’t care either. In fact, I like HER better than him, and she dresses like a 12 year old.
@Virgilia Coriolanus: I watched a lot of Oscar Roundtables, too, and you are right about this. VERY selfconscious man with a huge ego, trying hard to convince people he’s just the guy next door. Here is a somewhat dated article about him:
http://midnighttransmission.blogspot.nl/2008/02/george-clooney-is-bit-fake.html
@VC
You are so right about him. That air of bonhomie Clooney tries so hard to project rings very false and contrived to me as well. He has benefited greatly from the good old boys atmosphere in Hollywood. I don’t understand why the media is so enamored of him.
I got so so sick of him constantly talking at those round tables, I was much more interested in what the others had to say. He always had to butt in, and he never even said anything interesting. I never minded him until I saw those, now I’m annoyed by him. Also, he looked at fassbender in a way that made me sure he despised him! Was quite amusing.
I like George at most of the Roundtables. In many cases the others just don’t WANT to talk/are shy and there would be nothing but silence without George and a few others.
And he often tries to include the others into the discussion.
Someone bring a fainting couch to the wedding because George is bringing the DRAMAH.
Lol
And smelling salts.
everybody else is just bringing buckets – lots and lots of buckets…
I clicked, therefore I am (ashamed).
You should be! You’re so shallow, and you constantly complain about how they’re attention grabbing, yet you read every post about them. Hypocrite! Oh, wait, that was me…
@ GNAT – Pass me the bucket, please.
What IS up with this? I really continue to be surprised by this everyday barrage of news of the Most In Love Couple Ever.
It really is overkill, isn’t it?
George has aged quite a bit since he got engaged to Amul. I still don’t understand why he has gone from super private to daily updates. It is like he is in a panic that he will not get married
ITA that he’s aged rapidly.
I am totes confused as well. Either he is playing a PR game but playing it badly (which seems so unlike him), or he is a smitten kitten and doesn’t care who knows.
I am going with smitten kitten!
🙀
I don’t think he’s smitten at all, George has always been very private, if it was real he would keep it low key. His new relationship has been all over the news on a daily basis, he is overselling it just like TomCruise oversold his relationship with Katie Holmes.
Nah, don’t believe in the theory of a smitten kitten. I just read on the page of “Guardian” that he is to make a special appearance in “Downton Abbey”. I mean, Clooney coming back to TV, taking a a part in a glorified soap opera? I think this whole thing is a desperate attempt to regain former popularity. He can’t sell the “heartthrob” anymore, no one is buying it. Besides, when was the last time he had a hit? “Gravity” was a success, but actually more of a Sandra’s great moment (all Clooney got out of it is becoming a butt of Tina’s and Amy’s brilliant joke at Globes). Other than that – nothing, but flops. He is losing his power in Hollywood and there is nothing worse for a Hollywood player like Clooney. He will try anything to stay afloat. Marrying a lawyer is the least he can do, I guess 🙂
I used to like George Clooney. Like maybe 3 years ago. Now he appears to me as a whiny, self-absorbed guy making weird decisions. Ugh…..
Oh I don’t mind this at all. It’s so very different from the others. It’s fun to see how much in love George is with her, such a turnaround from watching him with Larson, Canalis and Kieber, all that fakery of two people pretending to like each other. He used to look dead eyed with them. This seems genuine.
George has aged as we all do but he still looks not too bad. I’m thinking Amal probably likes older men.
Can we give them a name? Clanal?
That sounds like an STD med. JS.
Totally! Ick. Maybe Amooney is better?
Amooney. I like it. 😘
Ameorge! You can make sound fancy….ish
Amalooney (not mine).
MuddiLooney
Excellent!
Alamooney. Heh.
+1 Alamooney
Hahahaha. Good one.
Wow what’s up with her makeup? It’s not blended properly and she looks like a Muppet.
I have been trying to figure out who she looks like and I came up with Alexis Joel, Christie Brinkley’s daughter.
Yes, I can see that.
Not even close. Alexis is so much softer looking.
alexa before all her work, she used to look like marty feldman
Alexa Ray Joel before her nose surgery, and I see it too. Just so you know I am not talking out of school Alexa admitted to the nose job.
do we know whether this (and other news past and future) are Clooney-sanctioned or just some news outlet writing fanfiction again to act as if they know something but actually don’t?
We never know for sure, as that is why he has a publicist to present him in the best light. Clues that the image is being managed are high def pictures of the ring, intimate details about the proposal, and supposed candid pictures where she always has her hair immaculate and done- (sorry she may be pretty but not all the time do you have your hair done that well going to starbucks) , plus stories in celebrity friendly outlets like People, E, US magazine (seriously to those outlets most celebrities live the life of puppies, kittens and rainbows unless they have a major scandal that they can’t avoid.)
Also George has one of the best PR teams in the business. Stan managed to keep Charlie Sheen’s crazy just seeming a little weird for a decade. Charlie was able to have a great career until he finally fell off the into complete crazyville, and Stan finally dropped him. I would say 99% odds that the majority of this is managed, carefully crafted, and planted stories by George. His famous words he is the son of a newsman, he would know how the media works better than most.
For the love crowd this doesn’t mean this is a totally contracted relationship. Maybe he decided he wanted to marry her and this was the best way to present her in his public life. I think he might have miscalculated though with him being so old school and the new media though, as I think I need another bucket as the overkill is coming back up.
Gotta be fan fiction. What 50+-year-old man would keep referring to his intended as his bride-to-be, future bride, etc. That gushy junior high style writing is pure tabloid piffle. She’ll only be a bride for a very short time, a wife is long term.
She is starting to look like Susan Lucci
Mr Bean in a wig.
Amal is Mr. Bean in drag, complete with drag makeup.
Her makeup is awful here as is his orange fake tan
I am getting a huge father-daughter vibe from these photos which is … obviously not good. Am I the only one missing the “chemistry” his quotes are referring to?
Nope. I’ve never sensed any chemistry between these two. Maybe they keep it behind doors, or maybe at their age they’re beyond making goo eyes at each other. IDK. But I agree with you, TeresaMaria, no chemistry.
There is NO chemistry that I can detect. These two gross me out…with all of these “quotes.” He is looking old, and she should do herself a favor a gain a couple pounds, I just feel like she looks too thin which makes her look older than she is IMO. I seriously do NOT get this couple AT ALL. I feel like J-Law and Chris Martin make more sense. < OMG – I said that!!
There is NEVER any chemistry with George and his official escorts. This is such a mystery! Apparently extreme declarations of LURVE are supposed to make up for it this time – since it’s super official bearding time – but it really only ratchets up this sad scenario to couch jumping territory and, unfortunately, Clooney does not have Cruise’s action career to fall back on.
His best chemistry was with the Italian queen. He looked like he was showing off his daughter.
“I can’t wait to be your husband!”- I believe him, he looks stressed out, forgetting that HE put on this roadshow. With every new line and photo coming out, I feel he’s really desperate to get it over with fast. And by now I’m sure we WILL have pictures. For those of you, who didn’t see yet enough of this extraordinary love story, here’s George live at the Fight Night Foundation party in Florence, Italy, with his announcement (a little patience required):
http://video.sky.it/news/spettacolo/george_clooney_sposero_amal_tra_due_szettimane_a_venezia/v212673.vid
IMO he was trying to butter up his Italian audience of that night. He certainly thinks it must be considered an honor for any town/country to host Mr &Mrs Clooney. In fact it was not the right place nor the right event to blatter about his personal business. Cheap.
Supercheap.
Siri, I already puked enough… I wouldn’t click on that link even if my life depended on it…
True. And if you actually watch the video, you notice that when he tells the audience, it takes a long time before a few applause- they probably think the same: what does this have to do with our foundation? And it all sounds so staged, pauses and all. And you’re right, he mistakes the paps and some ever-crazy fans for a sign of being a national treasure over there.
@Lady Macbeth: I’ll get you some casamigos 🙂
I clicked on that link and it is barf worthy.
Do us a favor Clooamuddin, and just stay in Italy.
Okay Clooamuddin sounds like a fertility drug.
Clomid is the name of a fertility drug so you are right on the mark 🙂
My mum lives in Italy and she said they are totally fed up with amalooney… They wish he could get the heck out of the country soon…..
I’ve found that most men who’ve said they wouldn’t get married (or married again) tend to oversell the love if they do marry, but the oversell is what makes people question the marriage the most. If you’re truly happy, you don’t need to tell people that because it will show (unless you suffer from chronic b@#ch face) Extreme love-dove just seems like a cry for help or makes the insane fans want to claw out your lover’s eyes.
Congrats! You put a ring on it! You can sit back down now.
Maybe the oversell is partly because they are trying to convince themselves.
Or, perhaps they are aware that they are getting some side eyes (though the side eyeing only increases when they start overselling it).
I want to believe in Amalooney, but he tries way too hard. I think he was so sure his wedding would be “THE’ event of the late summer/early fall. Then his friend dropped his atomic bomb of a surprise wedding and sucked all of the air out of the room. Now George is trying to play catch up and get back on track. He is being seen frequently, we suddenly find out he will be on Downton Abbey and the almost daily press releases about what, when where. I guess we will get the guest list next. He probably does love her, but it just seems so forced and she is beginning to get that blank Katie Holmes look like she is there to follow him around the world and worship at his feet. That would be a shame for someone of her caliber.
I truly hope she doesn’t get the hollow, robotic look Katie had for so long.
I can’t figure out George. I was always neutral about him, but glad that he doesn’t shun his Kentucky roots. Yet he’s such a contradiction. All the “on his level” comments sounded so haughty and insulting to the women he previously dated.
@Jen2
That’s a GOOD point. Brad and Angelina basically did no press for their wedding. They were asked a few times about it, during interviews, and basically gave no details. I think the best we got was when Brad said (during the WWZ promos) that he was in charge of napkins, and Angelina said (earlier this spring/summer) that she didn’t have a dress ‘picked out’ (haha). Other than that, beyond a few tabloid rumors here and there there wasn’t any news about their wedding.
Then they dropped a bomb on us, and just walked off. And people/tabloids/media TALKED. ‘Spilling’ (fake) wedding details. And it was EVERYWHERE. And all they did was announce it in a short press release, and gave no other details–just said they were married on such and such day. And everyone went crazy. And then everyone went even crazier when the wedding pics were released–and all they did was release, along with the pictures, an article describing the wedding. And gave a quote about how happy their kids were.
That’s it. And people dragged that ish out for days. Analyzing everything.
While George Clooney, Mr. Heart Throb Movie Star hasn’t shut up about the LURVE of his life since they got engaged, complete with releasing TONS of details to PEOPLE and other outlets, and yet, no one (at least not on here) is really all that interested. No one really buys that she’s the love of his life. He keeps releasing all these details about when they’re getting married, when, etc. No one really cares.
I mean, I’ll look at his wedding pics if he chooses to release them, but it’s not because I’m such a huge fan–I love wedding dresses.
So I do buy that George is, at the very least, miffed that his HW bestie got a ton of attention for basically doing nothing.
@Virgilia – I LURVE that you used LURVE. Bahaha!
I get what you’re saying but I have to disagree (just a little). My husband was one of those “I’m never getting married” types. He even has a tattoo on his ring finger that served as a symbol of the only ring that he would ever wear (which is now covered by a wedding band!). So imagine my surprise when he proposed…did NOT see that coming. Anyway, he never “oversold” his declarations of love to prove how much he changed his mind on the subject. But then again he’s not an internationally famous movie star. In any case sometimes it just takes meeting the right person to make you rethink a long-held position.
😉
Her make up is a mess. White splotches around the face. Highlighting & contouring badly done.
Huge diamond = High cost of bearding. No George, you’re not The Second Coming of Warren Beatty, suddenly changing his bachelor ways. That only works for straight guys who can convince us they’re sexaholic commitmentphobics.
He wants a Jolie, obvi.
ITA, he does want a Jolie. But since he can’t find one with charisma and an international following, and can’t abide the thought of having to cart 6 kids around, he’s substituting a law degree and an international law practice. I wonder if there will soon be cute pictures of him and Amal posing with her client, the alleged butcher of Libya.
Exactly.
Thank you.
You know I was just reading the article that poster Sri linked up top about him. George appears to be a rather vindictive and petty person at times. I wonder if he’ll start a smear campaign to derail Jolie’s Oscar chances. I’m sure he’s feeling pretty miffed about them sideswiping his wedding of the century. That congratulatory statement he issued to People sounded like it was said with clenched teeth.
Uh. All the quotes are barf inducing.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw Clooney literally jumping couches a few months from now.
That being said, those red carpet shots of Amal are stunning. She’s a lot more beautiful than I originally thought. She’s got such an elegant face.
I can’t shake the feeling that we’re being Punk’d. Where are you, Ashton?
He probably had a few drinks in him when he made his declaration of love. Let’s see how he feels in a year.
Wow – these two look similar. Look up old photos of Clooney and put them side-by-side with current photos of Amal. Dude is attracted to a young, female version of himself!
It is all a hoax. George is known for his pranks. He invited Julianna Margulies. Just like the ER episode he will run off with ‘Carol’ and live happily ever after with their twins in Seattle Washington. LOL
George said something sweet about his very soon to be wife. How awful.
I know. Fickle crowd here. They worship Brad Pitt for publicly gushing about Angelina on many occasions over the years, Clooney does it once, for his fiance, and he’s suddenly this horrible, fake person? Jesus. I guess the crowd here would be happy if he said nothing, kept Amal hidden, never let her be photographed, got married completely privately, never released a picture and never said anything about it except for a dry press release announcing he was married. There really have not been that many stories about these two. A drop in the bucket compared to the kanye kartrashian coupling and dozens of other celebs. I don’t get the bad vibes. I hate the kartrashians and the duggars and don’t click on or comment on their stories. George is a nice middle aged movie star that employs lots of people and is a good boss, good friend, good relative. He does nice things for people all the time and is very well thought of here in so cal.
Not a fickle crowd. Brad has gotten his share of crap about Angelina. There are tons of gossip devoted to the Jen/Brad/Angelina love triangle, and his marriage to Jen ended almost a decade ago. Imagine having to live with that.
The majority of the negative comments are that people aren’t buying this romance. To be honest if he was my friend I would ask him about it. A very private person changes his total relationship pattern he has had for decades and is now all out gushing love. Plus generally the people who shout the loudest are either trying to convince themselves or someone else for a reason. (Just mine and apparently some other people’s observation.) Could it be real? Sure. Still if it was friend who did a 180 wouldn’t you question it.
Sorry, but I don’t like your generalization about people being critical about Clooney. To me, it has absolutely nothing to do with Pitt, but everything with the way Clooney is trying to sell this ‘romance’, after trying to convince people for decades how private a person he is. Clooney himself is a walking contradiction, and some people seem to notice. Nothing wrong with that, and nothing wrong with you admiring him.
I actually haven’t seen him “trying to sell his romance” at all. All I’ve seen is some perfunctory announcements, a few pap shots of their being together, and now this very tame tribute to her, which can be viewed on dlisted. It is very brief, and George says “I love you very much and can’t wait to be your husband”. No “i love you to death” as was reported here and other places and much remarked on.
People who “shout the loudest”? Where are the shouts? The rollout of this engagement has been mild, practically invisible compared other celebs. And Brad “gettiing his share of crap about Angelina”? Where?
“There really have not been that many stories about these two.”
This is laugh out loud bogus. Search the nearly daily stories on here that Kaiser gets, mostly from his and her generated PR. Then search how paps are alerted to Amal’s schedule. Then pay attention to what Clooney said announcing his approximate wedding date — after declaring for years that he keeps his private life private.
This fact checking of Clooney’s self serving hypocrisy could go on and on. And on and on. And on and on. And it does — in people’s critically astute posts that they have every right to make on a site called Celebitchy.
So you can get all, ‘Leave Clooooney Alone’ all you want. But the facts are not on your side. Not even close.
People are way over him. For good reason. And considering that I have to pay attention to celebrity PR for my job, I am WAAAAAY over Clooney’s BS.
“Brad’s share of crap” do a google search and read. A good portion of the review comments are negative. Apparently the not so clever pot-smoking Brad committed adultery and was stolen by the crazy sex goddess Angelina, – etc. . One of my favorite crazy headlines was “Inside their pot smoking parenting lifestyle.”
I will say Brad and Angelina since they have been together for almost a decade don’t get as much of the its not a real relationship now, although around 2005 and those are there too.
George is shouting and promoting his relationship sometimes directly or with his publicist. We know he personally selected and helped design the conflict free diamond engagement ring- high def pic. too, he made her dinner and proposed at his home, he first announced publicly to Edward Norton at a restaurant that he was engaged-(fyi that was confirmed from Ed Norton), they will be getting married in a few weeks in Venice, and let’s not forget my favorite she is so different and classy not like all the others- his Mom even said something like that . He personally spoke about it at two humanitarian events, and from “Mr. I never talk about my personal life” seems a bit odd.
Now you can say it is gossip and they are making up the stories. Maybe but a lot of these look way polished and staged with photos just like other celebs. If they do get married in Venice in the next few weeks you should realize we were told more about their wedding location than Kim and Kanye. Kimye was getting married in Paris, not Florence. Maybe George really is pulling a Kimye and he will get married elsewhere.

She is quite lovely and elegant. He looks happy with her. Hope they enjoy their life together.
ET online is now reporting that their will be no wedding on Friday.
At this point, it’s very possible that Team Clooney is releasing leaked rumors and then shooting them down, which is a typical Aniston/Huvane tactic to generate attention. Puke is an understatement.
Today, i’m seeing Anne Hathaway. Several posts ago I was seeing Elizabeth Canalis with a sprinkling of La Jolie!
I wonder what sort of hush money Looney’s shelled out to his ex-beards and Talia Balsam to keep them from spilling, not to mention the fortune on PR trying to fool the public (which isn’t working), and the pricey courtship with this attorney of questionable character. No doubt, a king’s ransom that could have been put toward something useful or charitable. George, you want to preserve your “leading man” status? Why not come out of the closet and do something truly ground-breaking and courageous, like play a GAY leading man? Now, that would be worthy of admiration.
Really weird stuff and an obvious PR show akin to Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah’s couch. He hardly knows this woman – anyone can see it is a PR move. And old George is going to increasingly bizarre lengths to try and convince the world that he really is into her and this is the latest attempt. I bet his PR people are reading the social media forums, can see people aren’t buying it and have told him to be increasingly public in his “declarations of love”. The recent movies that he produced have lost ALOT of money and old George obviously felt he needed to reinvigorate his career with a new “image” to give himself another 5 years in the business. George has been living the high life for a while, private jets and mansions in Italy are expensive to maintain and I suspect he is running out of money. He’ll make some good cash from selling photos of his wedding to Hello Magazine and People. Will probably lie and say some of it is donated to charity but the reality is he would get a huge tax deduction which I bet he needs right now. Also the so called “high powered lawyer” fiancee has been on vacation for the last 6 months so not sure how good a lawyer she is. Lawyers I know actually work.
They are both terrorist supporters.
This might sound odd but has anyone else hit this weird point with pop culture where the images of people burned into your brain no longer matches up with reality? The hollywood in my head is aging and/or changing. It’s trippy.
I mean obviously it happens but it’s only now REALLY becoming noticeable for me.
Images are created for public consumption, they are never reality. Even WE, the ‘peasants’, play roles on a daily basis, only with celebrities it’s a very conscious creation. We are supposed to like them, keep talking about them, and even if we don’t like the image, it’s still good publicity. The “old” Hollywood didn’t have to deal with modern communication- so we wouldn’t really know anything about Doris Day etc. By now, we have access to so many sources of information in an instant, that we get a much wider picture, and for that reason come closer to the ‘real’ person behind that image. If you want, it’s a huge manipulation of the public opinion, and most of us are getting more aware of that. Hollywood is, and always has been, an industry that lives from us buying their images. Metaphorically as well as literally. I personally don’t mind watching a good movie with Clooney, but I take my neighbor much more serious 🙂
That bony little shoulder! That spindly arm! No wonder he just wants to love and protect her.
