I can’t tell you how happy I am that we have these photos! For too many months, the only new photos of Amal Clooney were crazy-exclusive and I missed writing about her terrible and overhyped style. These are photos of Amal out and about in NYC on Wednesday, following her appearance on George’s arm for the 15th anniversary screening of O Brother Where Art Thou?. While Amal’s green Versace wasn’t my jam structurally (it was basically a fancy mullet dress), I liked the Versace WAY more than this tomato-red Dolce & Gabbana ensemble.
I’ve noted/complained before about how George and Amal really do these visual throwbacks to the Kennedys. The hype that follows Amal makes it seem like people are just desperate to call her the new Carolyn Bessette/Jackie Kennedy. This D&G seems more Jackie than Carolyn, and it’s the kind of look that a lot of women worked in the 1970s. You know who should wear this? Reese Witherspoon. This would look great on Reese. It wouldn’t look so costume-y on Reese. As for Amal… well, at least her hair looks great. A fresh blowout? And she wore closed-toe shoes for this pap stroll because everyone was talking about her bunions. Ouch.
Meanwhile, George is still saying words about what it’s like being married to The Unicorn.
George Clooney opened up to Us Weekly and other reporters on Tuesday, Sept. 29, about celebrating his first-year wedding anniversary with his barrister wife, Amal Alamuddin.
“We [went to] Jerry Weintraub’s memorial,” Clooney said of the star-studded event honoring the legendary Ocean’s Eleven producer, who passed away this past July. Then, Clooney and Alamuddin celebrated their one year together. “It was great,” the A-list hunk beamed of the milestone. “We had dinner… that was fun.”
The low-key affair was arranged by Alamuddin, Clooney revealed on Tuesday. “Amal picked this spot,” he told Us. “I’m a creature of habit, so I might want to go down the street to the same sushi bar that I could eat at four nights a week.”
Alamuddin, however, is slightly more adventurous. “She’s like, ‘No, that’s not going to happen—not for the anniversary! We’re not going to do that!'” Clooney joked.
Indeed, Amal — who holds degrees from Oxford and NYU’s law school — challenges her famous hubby in all things.
“I’m an idiot,” Clooney joked of being cast for the role as Everett in 2000’s O Brother, Where Art Thou? “Oftentimes, I feel like an idiot talking to my own wife,” he added with a laugh. “It’s never good!”
I actually don’t believe George is an idiot. I just don’t think he’s as smart as he thinks he is. And I kind of wonder what this experience has been like for George. He usually has to feel like the smartest guy in the room and, well, he never really chose his previous girlfriends/partners for their conversational skills. I wonder what it’s like for George to be with a woman who corrects him when he says something dumb? Hm.

That Daily Mail article was mean. Yikes.
I agreed with all of the top rated comments to the DM article though.
I agree too!
And I feel none can give proper commentary on that green dress without a look at the awful back – needs to be updated to reflect that!
Dressed appropriately for work. For once.
Yes, I really like it. She looks like a powerful woman in it.
It seems like an outfit that’s ready to get to work and not trying to draw unnecessary attention to herself?
That’s what i thought too.
A bright red dress is not exactly work attire. It is still a “look at me” dress, but u do like it. It would look awful on Reese.
One of the most successful divorce lawyers I know is a flamboyant redhead who always wears bright colors. Yes, it’s “look at me” but depending on your profession, that can be a good thing.
I don’t think she’s on a “pap stroll.” I think she’s trying to get to work by hello! walking on the sidewalk to an office building. You know – like most people have to do to get to work. She looks fine in the outfit. It would not look good on Reese Witherspoon – it would cut her in half. I doubt Amal gave the Kennedy’s a thought when she chose to wear it.
I think Amal and George ALWAYS think about the Kennedy and think they are the modern day Camelot.
This dress would look terrible on Reese. It needs to be on a tall woman, maybe a bit curvier than Amal (D&G looks the best on voluptuous women), but most importantly tall.
I also thought it wouldn’t work on Reese, thinking it would make her look old lady-ish.
I agree. That dress would swallow Reese.
I agree that this dress would look terrible on Reese. Amal is thin and tall so this look fits her well. Reese has curves and is not as tall so the dress would not suit her well.
She’s lost yet more weight. So the only question to ask then is are those implants? Does anyone know for sure?
I was thinking the same thing. She’s stick thin, but those don’t change. I would say yes.
I’ve been wondering the same thing for a while. The breasts seem too large for the rest of her body and has Jules said, they don’t change when her weight drops. Then again, she could be like Duchess Kate and rely on a heavily padded bra.
I wouldn’t be so sure. I am big breasted and my breasts consist mostly of glands (is that the correct word? English is not my first language) very little fat. Last year, due to a stressfull period at my work, I lost 30 pounds. No change in the bust area whatsoever. (They seemed even heavier for God’s sake!)
I think you’re an anomaly Liam, but thank your lucky stars – I’m sure many envy you.
I assure you Wendy, I would gladly get a reduction if I could afford it. The back suffers and my movement is affected greatly. Whenever some girl tells me “Why can’t I have half of your breasts?” I answer “Take the whole damn thing!”. Grass is always greener and the works… 🙂
I’m the same way. I lost 20 lbs due to stress and my breasts stayed the same. When I went for a mammogram I was told I have “dense” breast material, i.e. more tissue than fat.
Dubois – interesting to note: until my mammogram, I normally associated dense breast tissue with larger breasts but I found out that my “flat as a pancake” breasts were dense too!! I still don’t get it but it makes it harder for them to detect abnormalities – as you probably already know.
Liam : Wow! Wish I had your bionic boobs! I lost a lot of weight due to health issues and lost my boobs too 🙁
I’m so sorry Dana! I wish whatever the health issue was, you’re fine with it now…
She’s been under the knife for other procedures, so it wouldn’t shock me. A bit Victoria Beckham looking to me. No fat anywhere and a huge rack.
She got a nose job and probably a lot more.
I mean no one has come out and confirmed it, but it’s pretty obvious… No outlets have picked up on it though for some reason, which I find fascinating, much like when Taylor Swift got hers done. Not even the Daily Mail has mentioned them, and they noticed her bunions, for crying out loud!
Obviously she has implants.
And wear a Hair extensions.
Not necessarily – padded bras can have the same effect, depending on what she’s wearing. Look at Kate Middleton
I say yes to implants. As her body has gotten smaller, her boobs have gotten larger. It became most noticeable in the photos taken at the Met Gala last May. Compare those photos to ones taken in September 2014 (of her at the Florence Fight Night event and her wedding). Just saying….you be the judge.
The big buttons make her look diminutive by comparison, like an out of scale doll’s dress. I think the style issue she has is a woman who is thin for the 1st time in her life and doesn’t quite know what “works”. She goes from childish to sexy and to business attire that’s typically tailored improperly. I feel like she’s excited/stressed, and unfortunately this phase is immorialized by the pap shots.
Liking this , It’s much better than the teeny bopper, Forever 21 type short styles she goes for.
Much better, than that short green dress.
Awful. Awful color, awful dress, awful bag with dress, why those shoes with that dress? She seems to have no style of her own. She dresses like someone 12 or 60. I suppose this is her “work” look, and yesterday was her “fun” look. There’s no consistency. I don’t get it. She really needs some help.
I agree. She hasn’t found her style yet. She seems to wear whatever designer send her for free. I find this dress boring and looks like a house coat.
she pulls it off though, imo.
She looks better in it than I would, certainly, but she could look amazing if she just decided who she is fashion-wise.
Yes, she could use some help. It’s always been so clear to me that she has zero innate sense of style. I think her street style is worse, probably because with red carpet stuff she sometimes does have help.
Oh boy. Yesterday I said her knees were too bony for that short dress but they kind of look worse with this hem length! how is that possible! Also the thumbnail pic shows big bags under her eyes – can we get a better close up please??? Methinks she did not have a professional do her make up in this pic lol.
After so much discussion yesterday about her bunions, she seems to have grabbed “any pair of shoes to cover her feet” – whether they matched her outfit or not. This isn’t a good look, I only.
I like the dress, but it is not unique. I see many attorneys in court wearing the same type of dress where I live. I guess she got foot shamed and is wearing closed toe shoes.
Amal has the oomph, sexiness, beauty and gorgeousness to make potato sack look like high fashion cotoure.
Note to a certain professional awarness creator… This is how u look thin without being veiny skeletal and gaunt
I see skeletal and gaunt.
Ditto. You can actually see the tendons in her knees. That can not be healthy.
(ETA: I survived bulimia, and at my worst I never saw tendons.)
Eh. You can see the tendons in my knees and the veins in my arms and stuff. I’m thin, but not gaunt or skeletal. I think it might be just genetics. But that’s not to say that Amal is naturally this thin–she does not look healthy to me, unfortunately.
I wonder if she works out or if she just simply doesn’t eat?
I can’t help but wonder what she looks like in person, knowing that the camera adds weight. I’m sure she’s thin as a rail.
I also see that. Every time there is a picture if her my first thought is ” eat something …anything” she looks anorexic to me I don’t believe that’s her natural at all. I know a few women who are naturally skinny and they eat constantly and don’t gain weight ( no bulimia ) . They actually try and can’t .with all scrutiny for her weight in media I am sure clooney would have stepped up to say it was different but that hasn’t happened.
Yeah, I have to say that her legs looked shockingly thin in those photos, like all the muscle had been starved away. Not healthy-looking at all.
I agree. Too skinny. She has strong facial features and if she loses more weight she’ll look worse. Not crazy about her “fashion” sense
Are you serious. Do you really believe Amal looks sexy? She is the opposite of sexy, IMO. Amal is a very attractive woman from afar, not so much in closeup photos. I like her dress, nothing special. I belive GC has a very short attention span when it comes to his past ladies, hope this will last.
i don’t think he would have married if he didn’t want to last. I think he got tired jumping from one relationship to another , trying to keep up with women and really actually felt his age weighing down on him. He wanted the proverbial settle down. The worrisome part is why is he with someone that clearly has an eating disorder and does nothing about it
OMG. She is gorgeous! This colour & style suits her so well. I wish I looked like that.
ROTFL.
You can for Halloween. Loads of skeleton costumes and dark wigs.
LMAO …. seriously dead on
Please someone explain the fascination with this woman because when I look at her all I see is Olivia Oyl. And don’t get me started with her husband.. the chemistry between them is non existent, Like rubbing two pieces of wood together.
Any skinny girl would look good with the help of a makeup artist, a hairstylist and expensive designer clothes.
LOL! Your’e not far off
http://oliveoyl.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/262/files/2013/02/olive_pose3.png
I agree, that’s all I see is someone who looks more like Olive Oyl.
George sure works over time to sell his wifey-beard to the world.
Why didn’t he just keep doing her own thing, why the need to constantly promote the woman? It makes the Clooney’s utterly unlikeable and the union a bit suspect.
imo
He assumed if he kept selling the story, everyone would buy it. Looking at her is like seeing those ads with starving animals asking for donations,,painful.
The sushi restaurant thing? They were there the night after..he’s not gonna change.same old ‘Aw shucks, I’m just a loveable dumb guy’ routine..remember,,he said the waitress educated him on the environment, the wrestler revised his diet..same old. Klooneys.
^this. I can’t take her seriously when she’s always flitting about like the world is her runway and always looking for the camera.
Like the dress, love the hair, shoes are ok but not what I would pair with that outfit. Hate the purse. I think it is very appropriate for work /daytime wear, and a nice color.
I’m distracted by the image of an intelligent, successful person marrying someone ornamental except that the ornament in this equation is George. You see it all the time in reverse.
On a superficial note, this dress needs to be better tailored for her. It’s too big for her and the tweed is too heavy for this current weather. She holds her arms in avery strange way, pressing them to her sides for dear life. It unintentionally makes her visuals appear stiff, formal and unyielding.
It really bothers me how some people think her body looks so good. The camera adds ten pounds she looks to the point of a medical underweight problem. Look at her legs. At least some of the people who are overly thin and glorified on these sites, their profession, i.e. actress, model, etc. insist on thinness. That is bad enough, but now we need lawyers who are extremely thin too. I know overweight is bad too, but you rarely see people say how great an overweight body is, but you routinely see it with underweight.
As far as the dress, well I just can’t believe that is D&G. Why pick this dress out of all the dresses. It is just kind of boring and matronly. She does seem to go from teeny bopper to matronly a lot, with some cool stuff thrown in the middle. So far not loving it, but they seem to be on a fashion show now so all that is left to say is: NEXT.
I said something above about how rail thin she must be in person given this is how she looks in photos. She appears to be shrinking. Not healthy at all.
Being underweight can lead to several health problems, including osteoporosis (brittle bones), a weakened immune system, anemia and others. I would really hate to think that she is deliberately starving herself because she thinks she looks good.
Also let the lady work in peace. She’s doing work that’ll enormously impact the world.
Note to Clooney keep the tabloid journalists at bay.
LOL. Are you Amal’s publicist or something?
Their PR calls them. Please these pictures are in People and US they are the “celeb” friendly magazines that get called for pictures. I know several people who do PR for celebs and this is how it works. Don’t understand the issue. She can have an important job as you say, and still like being photographed in D&G.
Dress is really for a more mature person. 60+
She need’s a sandwich.
Holy bunions Batman!
With those buttons and Peter Pan color-that looks like something that Kate Middleton would wear and get trashed for.
Yes!!! As soon as I saw this I was like holy buttons, Kate would be all over this. At least it’s be a good length for her to wear, albeit without hem weights.
Amal looks lovely however I think Dolce & Gabbana is better on curvy women (such as Monica Belluci)
Quote: the A-list hunk beamed of the milestone. “We had dinner… that was fun.”
LOL, so he in a way confirms that rest of the nights they do not have dinner- she sure seems like sh doesnt eat and he has the tequilas and beers for that bely=ly.
But on a more serious note, it is annoying when any couple talks up heir partner’s intelligence: like Garner spoke of Ben Affleck or in this case George. Such mollycoddling only implies that it is overcompensation for something else.
And Kaiser – I really don’t think Amal corrects George on anything. She loves the attention and will not risk offending him. And who knows, they probably barely talk 😛
Actually, I think they talk a lot. Budding mythomaniac George’s favourite foreplay isn’t a pole dance or the traditional pillow talk: he gets off and gets in the mood when Amal starts talking about the Syrian refugee crisis and South Sudan.
I’m not a fan of hers but I don’t get why she’d be shamed or called out for bunions. It’s a deformity that might come from wearing heels too much but is much more likely to be genetic and something she can’t help. Tons of people have them and unless they cause pain I don’t see why they’re so awful.
I had mine surgically corrected because I was having pain while running and I have to say it was absolutely the right decision despite some pretty severe post-surgery pain. I’ve been mostly pain free for almost 15 years now.
Amen. I got bunions in my mid-20s after a lifetime of wearing nothing but sensible shoes. Same with my sister. We both inherited freakishly high arches from my dad, and it does nasty things to your gait. So people need to stop being snarky about a medical condition that’s likely beyond Amal’s control.
I love this dress and think it looks great on her. Shoes and bag too.
I love her style. It’s stylin’ and whimscal. Some of her skirts/dresses could be a bit longer, and those long gloves and the gold dress were a bad call, but everything else is great.
Classic, elegant dress. She looks beautiful, but could up her bag/shoe game.
Or she wore closed toe shoes because it’s Fall and has been chilly the past few days in New York. I’ve put my sandals away until Spring because I would look stupid wearing them right now in this weather, at least during the daytime.
This is actually one of her best looks imo. She can carry off the chunky tweed no problem. It would have looked more elegant with a french twist/up do of some sort – I don’t find these K-Middy blowouts very corporate/lawyer-y at ALL. Like if I was her client I would be wondering how much time her blowout took when she could have been reading up on my case!
I agree about the hair style, but not the blowout. In her case they must take forever–she has plenty of time to read while someone else does it!
A once promising woman junior, with the potential to advance through hard work, reduced to this by, and for, a sham marriage to reinvent an aging (possible alcoholic) Hollywood lothario. And she leapt at it.
I’m more and more of the view that Amal, as an individual, is very far from the strong, independent career focused woman they’d have us believe. Too much evidence points to her past as having been cosseted, curated, and sponsored through connections and by patrons. I think her mother is a strong and overweening woman who had a long term plan for her daughter(s) and this is her biggest score for the family, yet.
Even looking at the past career they’ve allowed to remain accessible, it’s a lot of inconsistencies, gaps, flip-flops on focus, and forged in interlinked profile connections.
I don’t sense Amal to have much character of her own, she seems immature (arrested development). A blank sheet upon which others write the next chapter… always now mindful of public response to PR. It’s almost become a joke the extent to which Amal (and the marriage narrative) is regularly altered to fit the last Comments response to the most recent PR blitz.
For what? Soft power (for George, and others) seems the answer. Amal is just the tailoring dummy and she looks increasingly sick on it.
I know some will disagree but the more they put out there to convince, the less they can convincingly hide all that is unconvincing and inconsistent.
Also, I think George fits the immature (arrested development) blank sheet being rewritten upon too. Perhaps he was half way there with his “idiot” comment but my reading is that they are both ‘useful idiots’ and the public were expected to follow suit in the idiocy.
She looks unhealthily thin and no, I’m not body-shaming naturally thin people but her legs look like they could snap like twigs, her face is drawn and her arms look skeletal. It’s a pretty dress but it emphasizes her thinness. She appears to have enhanced her bosom too.
Unfortunately she’s succumbed to celeborexia which is a shame as with her high profile job and marriage, she could have been a good role model for young women who aspire to a career in law or medicine or whatever, but the message she’s sending is just wrong.
Let’s be real. How can she possibly be a unicorn of substance with all the time she obviously spends prepping for and engaging in staged pap walks and photo ops. Really, there aren’t enough hours in the day for all that plus an actual legal career. I sense that all she does is get handed a prop file or briefcase along with a few lines scripted by someone else to say whenever she goes to court or to visit the imprisoned dictator du jour. She gets wheeled out minimally on high profile matters, and only because of who she’s married to.
It really doesn’t work like that:
http://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/obiter/by-george-not/5050984.article?utm_source=dispatch&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=GAZ170915
Haha, this was yet another inconsistency in the career timeline revealed through a seeming OVERstatement perhaps: “Before joining the chambers five years ago, Robertson said Clooney had done 10 years of ‘exceptional work’ in international law.”
5 + 10 = 15 which takes us back to 2000, when she was just to graduate Oxford, miss a year and then heading on to NYU, after which she did THREE years Corporate at Cromwell Sullivan in NY.
Easier than my poor arithmetic: “In 2000, Clooney graduated with a BA degree in Jurisprudence (Oxford’s equivalent to the LLB)[19] from St. Hugh’s College, Oxford.
The following year, in 2001, she entered New York University School of Law to study for the LLM degree, where she was a clerk for the clerkships program at the International Court of Justice.[20] She received the Jack J. Katz Memorial Award for excellence in entertainment law… Clooney worked at Sullivan & Cromwell in New York City for three years as part of the Criminal Defense and Investigations Group, where her clients included Enron and Arthur Andersen.” [Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amal_Clooney ]
Now studying (student placements) and doing Corporate could be termed “International” kinda, but there is definitely fudge room on that particular statement between the actual reality and ‘an desired impression (as implied) to be given’.
She was called in NY in 2002 and in the UK in 2010.
It is very unlikely that she would be the lead on any case until about 10 years out in the relevant jurisdiction.
As for the article, well of course the QC who runs her chambers and helped to promote her marriage on the firm website is going to take offence that she is being used for PR. The international attention she gets because of the celebrity status is unheard of for any law firm around the world and translates into a lot of money for everyone at that chambers.
Let’s have an article with other members of the London bar who don’t profit from this and hear what they think.
@Dippit, based upon a publicly available timeline, she graduated from NYU with her LLM in 2001, passed the NY bar in 2002, and was employed as a litigator who focused on white-collar criminal matters in the US through 2005. Doughty Street Chambers’ web site confirms the 2002 NY bar admission, and the 2010 admission to the UK bar. To qualify for the UK bar, moreover, she would have had to complete a Bar Professional Training Course (one year full time, two years part time), and a Pupillage (a one-year internship):
http://www.barcouncil.org.uk/careers/how-to-become-a-barrister/
So, the most experience she could have had in international law prior to joining the chambers would have been three to five years, not ten years. Aside from that, @Sunnyd, you’re taking the word of the barrister (and head of her chambers) who benefits directly from Amal’s current career-oriented endeavors.
Also, Amal’s premarital professional experience does not explain her current role within her chambers, which appears to be far more limited than the extensive caseload assumed by most junior-level barristers.
@nic919 @Lori Up to Oxford 1997 (Oct) – Graduate (BA Jurisprudence 3yr, not 4yr with European exchange/placement) 2000 (Jun)?
Now Wikipedia has her 2001 for NYU entry but this: http://www.iilj.org/oldbak/experience/Clerkships2.htm has her 2000 NYU start. No mention anywhere of other UK (England & Wales) professional post-grad/training at that time. A one year LLM (not the more advanced JSD)
NY Bar was 2002, following a 200? graduation from NYU (differing sources).
Either way, 2002 began the three years private at Cromwell Sullivan, yet her NYU sponsored clerkship ICoJ is cited as 2004-/’04.
In no way saying the basic did this/that is untrue but there is some concertina weirdness in timeline.
Agree re: caution on the source of the 15 year disclaimer, particularly given ^^^ ?s.
Also, agree re: current role.
*deleted* – posted wrong place, because I’m a numpty.
Hmm….her graduation date from NYU would depend upon whether she attended a part-time or a full-time LLM program. If she did the two-year, part-time program, then she would have graduated in 2002, and taken the bar that summer. Or maybe she took the one year program (September 2000 – June 2001), flunked the NY bar once, and passed on the second try.
NYU’s website says that she was a clerk at the ICoJ from 2004 through 2005. So, she was probably an associate at Sullivan and Cromwell from roughly 2002 and 2004, then went to the ICoJ, and then went back to Europe. However, there’s still at least 2-3 years in the UK (?) that remain unaccounted for between 2005 and 2010, even with the practical training course and pupillage.
I normally wouldn’t spend this much time looking at another lawyer’s resume, but the weirdness surrounding Amal’s current lawyer endeavors and the marriage, IMO, prompts such scrutiny.
@Lori but Sullivan Cromwell was three years so just 2002-’04 is odd. Enron issues began 2001, Arthur Anderson went 2002 but main litigation was later. Still an Enron Legal team timing fits as it dragged out.
The NYU link I gave early has her as at ICoJ 2004-2004, the other NYU clerk was 2004-2005.
Anyway, late night drink catch-up with friends has dulled my brain. Bed. Although I’m with you on time spent due to curiosity on some weirdness. A bit jigsaw puzzle with your knowing what the picture is supposed to look like but a few stray bits from another set seemed to have been substituted for pieces of your own. Kind of.
Oh just noticed, same site has her LLM as awarded 2001.
Must sleep.
I disagree she’s just being handed a file and told what to say. I do think she’s knows her stuff, as I’ve seen a few interviews of hers and she’s natural and knowledgeable when it comes to the issues. Whether she’s as committed to her legal work as before is the question. But she’s still a massive famewh$ore who’s blossoming superlatively not under the loving gaze of her amore but the attention of the cameras. Odd, odd woman.
I like the dress and the color – it suits her! She also looks pretty here because of less make up. But I don’t see the fabulous hair everyone is saying? I see her hair ends looks fried and dry.
And really George? US weekly? Is People not enough of a platform for you to shill your lawyer wannabe celebrity wife?
Ha! I recognize the dress! Amal was wearing it when attending the UN Ministerial Event on Framing the Use of VETO in the Face of Massive Crimes.
Every photo her mouth is hanging open, her hair looks like a wig, why does she ever not put it up or do something diffferent, so boring. I see we are back to her 1000 dollar pap walks, she is such a phony and full of it.
My friend George needs to check out the comments on jimmy cho instagram. They posted a pic of Amal wearing jimmy cho shoes and the comments are not kind and overwhelmingly negative against Amal. If anything nice was said it was about the shoe or designer, anything about Amal was vicious. If this marriage was not a love match for George then he will soon regret the negativity that follows him now.
Come on give me a break she is wearing a similar dress that Cindy had on a few days ago. Cindy’s was orange and she wore it better.
I love the red dress. I love the colour on her, and I LOVE the fact that the dress is of what I would consider an appropriate length for a woman in her thirties who wants to be taken seriously professionally. Somehow, too-short (in my mind) skirts are a pet peeve of mine. I just don’t care about not being able to sit down without either being busy pulling down my skirt for the rest of the evening, or literally sitting on my bare ass. Maybe that’s just me, though.
So many of these comments are cruel. Come on, women, we should be supporting one another. She is an extremely intelligent and accomplished woman, who is likely feeling the crazy pressure of being in the public eye, day in day out, because of her Hollywood star husband. Give her a break. So what if she can afford designer clothing? Can she not be serious about her work, and also wear what she likes, and can afford? I cannot understand the vitriolic comments about her. Why do women have to be so nasty toward one another? She is extremely fortunate in that she is well educated, professionally successful, lovely, with beautiful hair, not to mention (too) super thin ( that might be the ultimate accomplishment in our warped western world), but I am sure she does not take any of this for granted. She probably feels the strain of being in the public eye and having to live up to the hype, and it can’t be easy, no matter who her husband is or how rich she is. Anyway, I know nothing, but I just am sick of all the negativity amongst women.
Now, I am going to have a glass of wine!
OK, some other oddness that I didn’t get a chance to post yesterday….. *adjusting tin foil hat*
In his interview about The Unicorn, above, George claims that the couple went to Jerry Weintraub’s memorial on Sunday evening, and then went to dinner. Per the US Weekly article posted with the green Versace dress, yesterday, the couple arrived at the Tower Bar on Sunday at 10:00 p.m., and stayed a few hours. As @Jayna noted yesterday, moreover, Amal was papped on the streets of NYC on Monday evening.
Now, I suppose it’s possible to go to a memorial service at 7:00ish, hop ten minutes over from Hollywood & Highland (the site of the memorial) to the Tower Bar in West Hollywood at 10:00 p.m., drive the 30 min or so at 1:00 a.m. to Studio City, take off in the morning from Burbank Airport, and fly six hours across the country in time to be papped on a “girls’ night out” in NYC at around 6:00 that evening. However, buried in the comments in the US Weekly article linked yesterday (between *all* the loons) was a post from an alleged employee of Tower Bar, who claimed that the restaurant closed at 11:00 p.m. on Sunday and that “no Clooneys” appeared. I don’t think the poster was lying, because the Tower Bar does, indeed, close at 11:00 p.m. on Sundays, per a Google search.
I really wouldn’t search for these kind of details with any other celeb couple, but this couple is so strange, for so many reasons. What’s going on here???? In the absence of another plausible explanation (which may exist, who knows), why lie about going to dinner on your anniversary (or not)? It’s not like the marriage goes poof if they cannot break bread on the precise anniversary date.
Everything about these two clowns is a lie from the beginning. Lie about how they met, honeymoon, stylists, Amal’s biography… But I just can’t see profit in it.
