As we learned this week, George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin already have their marriage license and will probably be married by the end of the month. Considering I only recently figured out that the VMAs and the Emmys will be doing a one-two punch within 24 hours (on August 24 & 25), I’m kind of thinking that if George and Amal want to keep everything undercover, they should get married on that weekend (because tons of other stuff will be happening). Unfortunately, I don’t think they want to keep it undercover. Page Six reports that George has already invited Anna Wintour to the wedding and they’re probably going to get a Vogue spread. George + Amal = Amage. Amage = Kimye?
Anna Wintour will be one of the select guests invited to the nuptials of George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin in Italy next month. Sources said the Vogue editor-in-chief will be attending the Clooney wedding, even though it is expected to take place during the throes of the European fashion shows in late September.
We’re also told the Clooney/Alamuddin wedding will be featured in an upcoming issue of the Condé Nast fashion bible. “She wouldn’t go there and not cover it,” our source tells us.
Alamuddin, we’re told, is expected to wear a gown designed by Wintour’s close friend Oscar de la Renta. A source explained that not only would Wintour want to feature the beautiful Lebanese lawyer in her wedding gown, “she and Oscar are such good friends and [she’d] want to give him some attention.”
On Thursday, WWD reported the groom will wear Armani to get hitched, and that an entire team of designers flew to Clooney’s home in Laglio, Italy, to do fittings with the star and male attendants in his wedding party.
Clooney and Alamuddin are said to be having a small and intimate ceremony, but will have several parties before and after. “They’re going to have top security, but include a really small group. Very intimate, and mostly family,” our source said.
Last week, Clooney pal Ellen Barkin threw a “hen party” for Alamuddin and her friends and family at Barkin’s West 12th Street apartment.
Clooney popped the question to Alamuddin in April after seven months of dating, with an engagement ring worth a whopping $750,000.
A Vogue rep declined to comment, while Clooney’s rep didn’t comment.
First of all, I don’t think the wedding is going to be in late September, I really don’t. It’s going to be sooner rather than later, and my new fear is that George is going to try to jack attention from what is already going to be a full gossip schedule. As for the other stuff… that’s new information to me, that Amal is going to be wearing Oscar de la Renta. I would have thought… something different. No disrespect to Oscar de la Renta… but I was hoping she would wear a younger, cooler designer. I guess George wants to go with “everything classic and old-school.” Like, this is a Rat Pack wedding and Amal is going to be a de la Renta princess. George in Armani is nothing new – Armani loves him and he loves Armani.

Lordy, will anybody care by then?
GNAT, I’m with you.
@Kaiser – you’re instincts are right on – this is happening sooner than later.
How about calling them “Gemal” ? By the way, what’s up with her two big toes? Looks like they turn in way too much, maybe from being squished in high heels, or she may have a bunion problem….just noticing this.
@ Kosmos
Oh, wow… it’s as if I have a long lost twin!
I came here for the same reasons you did, except I cackled as I dubbed them G’Mal.
Also, egad- her bunions- I have one and thought it was uncomfortable, but two? Ouch.
She should avoid wearing flip-flops, because she has ugly feet.
Does anyone care now?
Nope *yawns*
I know I don’t.
No, other than to be intensely curious as to what the hell is George’s end game?! This is completely bizarre that he’s involving all these magazines into his “relationship”. I’m past guessing it’s about a political future, and am now thinking he’s just a weird old man that’s looking for relevancy in the spot light! Kind of sad, and pathetic.
I wish they would just go away, both Georgie and her are boring and annoying at the same time.
All I care about now is nicknaming them. I’m partial to Georal myself.
Never has a star’s image fallen so far so fast.
What’s going on with George.
Are drugs involved? early onset Alzheimer’s? WTF
Soooo Anna Wintour will attend Clooney’s wedding but has snubbed her dear pal Kayne.
And by doing this alleged photo spread on Clooney’s wedding, Wintour is trying mightily to erase the scum that formed over Vogue’s reputation after the West/Kardashian cover. She’s going to have to work a lot harder than this, because no one is going to forget it anytime soon.
Really? It’s seems sort of similar. All celebrity PR seems similar now: desperate, boring and all over everything like a cheap suit.
I’m surprised she’s wearing de la Renta, as well… only because I think her taste is generally godawful and I think his couture work is astounding. So I’m interested to see what she’ll wear… as for the Vogue thing – meh. It’s lost its shine a bit, hasn’t it?
I have to say, the more I see that lace-top kid-pants combo at the header, the more I dislike it. So not flattering on her, and uber-chintz.
I was kinda hoping for a “Hello Kitty” wedding dress from her. These two crazy kids.
LOL LOL LOL LOL
I would have LOVED it.
If you are going to have a totally PR driven marriage may as well dive in whole hog.
I can totally see that. Hello Kitty indeed.
I couldn’t agree with you more. Her taste is atrocious and completely inappropriate for her age and profession. It blows my mind that with her money and resources this is how she chooses to dress herself. It’s like she lost a bet. Or she’s trolling us.
You are so right, tinyfencer. And the way she dresses is all the more annoying because she gives off an air of entitlement so strongly that it’s practically a visible bubble around her. Plus, she has some really funky feet. Get those things operated on STAT!
She could be trolling us. She’s really into the attention she’s getting.
Does she own that purple top dress in pink? I swear she has multiples of most of her outfits.
And I wonder if George is the 1 bring in reliable and gorgeous Oscar? You know this wedding will strike much common ground with Jack and Jackie’s wedding. 2 years from now a campaign will begin.
Oscar de la Renta has done a fair amount of inaugural ball gowns for First Ladies plus I believe he did J-H Bush’s wedding gown a few years ago.
Why do I get the feeling this chick is gonna end up being a nightmare. I bet a number of people in his inner circle have major concerns. And share constant, discreet side-eye action when she’s around. Sigh.. there’s no fool like an old fool.. but Clooney is just so nice. I hope I’m wrong.
What will the pigs flying over be wearing?
+1!!!
Vogue went bargain bin after the Kimye thing. If Clooney had to sell his wedding, why not something like GQ or an Italian publication or AARP?
People say they don’t care but they take the time to read and comment, face right in the trough lapping it up. LOL Seems odd for those who declare no interest in these two. I would say her casual style is not that great but her work clothes have been well styled and suit her completely. At any rate, it’s her deal, not mine. I do want to see the wedding photos. I think they will be stunning.
“This is a Rat Pack wedding”
Nailed it!
if anyone doubted this marriage was anything but a pr stunt – this should remove those doubts
He wants to get into politics, and he needs a suitable “wife” for that. He’s said before he could never run for office because he’s slept with too many women, (like other politicians haven’t?). This reeks of a marriage of convenience so they can both gain political power. There’s nothing wrong with that, but that’s how I read this whole thing.
@BW, I thought the same initially, but now, but wondered how that would work. She is a pretty big deal, old money and very respected in the Arab world. Here is an interesting read / open letter from an Arab guy:
http://www.civilarab.com/a-letter-to-george-clooney-from-an-arab-guy/
and more info on from another lawyer/journalist/political analyst that met her and her family at this website:

Please don’t cite that vile Debbie Schlussel – on any subject. TIA.

You people are so ungrateful. Seriously, they are doing this for YOU.
Gifting you with a view into their lives.
“Gifting you with a view into their lives”
If I turn a mirror on them, do you promise they’ll turn to stone?
🙂
Awesome comments!
Remember she supposedly made him cut back on the booze and change his eating habits so he would look his best for the wedding? At the time I said I thought it was uber-creepy that she wanted to change him ALREADY. You’re supposed to be blindly in love at that point, right? Others got mad at me and said she was changing his bad habits out of her adoration and concern for his health. Well, OK … maybe she wants him to stay out of a wheelchair for a couple of years.
I’m so happy that they are managing to keep this such a low-key, private affair involving only their families and closest friends.
yes, its lovely to see two people so in love that the world just disappeared around them and they went off and wed in a private romantic setting with george’s dog as his best man.
maybe einstein, his dog, will get the cover 😉
Yeah, Einstein should definitely be on the cover
Really? Because I would like MORE Clooney news. I feel like we don’t get enough. Excuse me while I go walk into a volcano.
You are cracking me up today.
I’ll follow you.
I’m curious as to what we, the invited guests, will be served at the low-key private parties.
I’m sure Wolfgang Puck will keep it simple
Oooh! Something in aspic, no doubt, and places marked with little gilded chocolate sculptures of the happy couple
Yes. I don’t get what’s in it for the couple to have their wedding in Vogue? It’s not like they couldn’t afford to get a custom gown from de la Renta on their own. They don’t need Vogue or any tabloid to cover the cost of the wedding. It seems very out of character for George to have his wedding pictures published. Is it possible he’s trying to scoop the tabloids because he’s afraid paps will get photos anyway?
I thinks it’s more of a pr show. Not that he’s preventing or protecting anything. He wants to be viewed differently now so every detail will be handled in Vogue.
He wants this to be a big deal it seems. Shame no one is all that interested.
Even here it’s more of a confusing joke.
Yes, low key and private. And he invites Anne W. LOL.
When I used to be a Vogue subscriber 100 yrs ago I remember it mostly being about fashion, ads and the covers were of actual models. I do not recall it being plastered with celebs from front to back and full of wedding b.s. Aren’t bridal magazines for that.
I have not picked up a Vogue is YEARS and certainly won’t be because of this overrated wedding being covered in it.
Thank you for saying so eloquently what I was thinking!
; )
Clooney’s lost his mind. Seriously, he’s going Kardashian with this sh-t
Yeah..and Vogue has the cache of Star these days.
Does Every One Realize His Publicist Speaks to Page 6 Every day about the wedding? That is why they have the breathless updates.
Full Kardashian!
PHD gossip, Then WHY didn’t we get pics or even a tweet of the fake wedding shower at Ellen Barkin’s, or the phony and made up co-ed wedding shower dinner at some imaginary NY restaurant? I mean all that we got were pics of the owner of her own PR Firm Baria Alamuddin and daughter at the airport a day later. What happened to Page 6 reporting? Did they run out of money and couldn’t afford to print all of the shower pics with Clooney’s relatives in attendance?
Baria Alamuddin has publicly stated from the very beginning that she wanted a wedding to rival Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s. She’s also got a very foolish “cash supplier” to cover all costs. Wonder if he’ll be drunk before the wedding, or just through the entire very romantic honeymoon.
Oh for GOD’s SAKE. Keep on keeping on “Mr. Private Life is Private”. Will we get a leaked video of the wedding night?
There is no celebrity who has fallen so far so fast in my estimation. The guy is utter bullshit at this point.
Yes! I was just saying this. Less than a year, right?
+1
Add my +1, too. Sheesh! You want privacy? Then don’t put your wedding in a magazine!
Now I’m curious as to whether they are saving themselves for the marriage.
@ Lilacflowers – that is deliciously wicked snark. I tip my hat to your wit -🎩
Johnny Depp? That was a quick descent too.
Johnny was sliding downhill for a bit. Then he dropped off. Clooney went from normal pattern of award season date to award season date saying over and over again marriage will never again be for him. Then suddenly Amal shows up and a few months later they’re engaged with him talking to anyone who will listen about his private life details. Strange how quick it was.
I’m just too confused by all of it to even try to make an intelligent comment; beyond this.
I just don’t understand any of this at all.
I’m really disappointed with JD. I don’t know what the hell has happened to him but He has really gone down a few notches in my book. I just feel icky about him now.
Sorry I meant to reply to Lori at 10:11
Kayne’s head must be exploding.
He must be pissed. He will no longer have the title of having” the wedding of the year.”
I’m so confused by this dude who has taken hostage the original CloonTang. Engagement photos sponsored by KneePads, slap fight with the Daily Mail, and now following in the wake of the Kimye wedding shots? Seems like a super quick slide for a guy who always had his game locked. Pull it together, dude.
Maybe all the drinking has damaged his brain
Perfection, Abbott!
Am i the only one who doesn’t find these 2 interesting AT ALL?
I didn’t care about them when they were not together but now it’sthe Uber snoozefest.
Boring. Boring. Boring.
You are not alone. She has no presence. She’s attractive but she wouldn’t stand out in a sea of Manhattanite women. George is rather too old for this bachelor thing. I don’t know anyone irl who still has a thing for Clooney nowadays.
George, it’s like we don’t even know you anymore.
Lord, at this point, who on Earth is buying this as genuine and not some political manouveur? It’s so fake it’s embarrassing and I’ve lost a huge amount of respect for GC. Also, I hope they have carbs at the wedding based on the top picture.
I pretty much disapprove of all the nastiness and snark here, but the carbs at the wedding comment was hilarious.
Has anything that’s been reported about this wedding ended up being true?
Amal is an accomplished woman but style-wise, she’s no Caroline Kennedy. I doubt if she can elevate a young designer’s profile the way Caroline did to Narciso Rodrigues.
Carolyn Bessette or Caroline Kennedy?
As long as the comparison is going-
JFK Jr. – had law degree, passed the Bar
Clooney – no degree, sits at the bar
I read this site a lot, but have never commented before this. I’m dying right now, this thread is hysterical!!
lol Clooney at the bar.
Yeah, they’re doing a wonderful job of persuading the public this is not all for show (eye roll)
Why is he getting so desperate for attention?
Never would have thought Clooney would have gone the Publicity wedding route with Vogue. That just cheapens the event and the bride and groom. Have some pride!
Amage sounds like the name of a perfume you’d try in a drugstore that wants to sound like it’s elite and foreign but is really a repackaged knockoff of a 1992 celebrity brand.
“Amage: a delicate mingling of Old Hollywood, desperation, and something expensive because why not.”
I vote for Gamal. Soft “g”
That works too! It’s the soft G that sells it.
Yes. I was thinking Gemal, but Gamal and soft G like Jamal is it. Amage is dumb.
“Amalooney”. Pronounced correctly describes how crazy this all is and how crazy George is acting.
Love it!
Laughing too hard. Wow. This is great.
Brilliant!
Bwahahaha!!!
I like “Amorge.”
Obviously this needs to be a line of multiple perfumes with awesome names!
Georgamal. George always has to be first because he’s the important one in his relatiaonships always. LOL
Well, honestly, I hope he gives some kind of interview and acknowledges he’s in love and happy and how he just knew, something. If he kept a blackout for most of it, I would understand. But he rolled out this engagement through other people with mouthpieces spilling beans, set-up photo-ops catching them at dinner with the engagement ring, letting mom and soon-to-be mom-in-law issue statements, etc. So I find it bizarre he doesn’t say something sweet about his engagement and his soon-to-be wife from his own mouth, not leaking details of how they met, blah, blah though his people. I hope there is something in Vogue or somewhere after they marry from him, no source.
If he just goes along like always never acknowledging the woman he’s with in interviews and letting them do the talking, I will feel sorry for this woman. Show you are proud of her, George, since you are marrying her, and say some actual real feelings about the woman you are with for a change directly from your mouth. That poor little Celine lived with him for three years and he lets her give a few interviews gushing about their love and how adoring he was, having breakfast together every morning before he left, and how jealous he was of her at events when men gave her attention, very protective, and he never said a word about her that I saw once except at the end about why it didn’t work out, never home focused on his career at the time, which was true. I realized later he lets the women give an interview gushing about him but he never says a word, so he’s not completely private as we think. Of course, if they mention marriage in the interview, they are out. LOL
People think this relationship is a farce. People think he’s marrying her because he wants a career in politics. No one will believe anything George says regarding this relationship. The best thing he can do is say nothing, marry this woman and live his life.
His lack of expressing his affection for her is something I have noticed as well. I did not realize there might be a pattern going back to Celine.
The marrying up comment may have been intended as a compliment, but it seems like most comments attributed to his inner circle (including the relatives and friends in Kentucky) focus on her ‘level’.
To make it for the long haul, they need to have some genuine feelings beyond being dazzled by each other’s careers and publicity.
Jenya I don’t think you’ll hear George gushing a bout his wife to be any time soon. Come to think of it have you ever heard of him gushing about any of the women he has been with? not to my knowledge he hasn’t. Yes i Know this is different because she’s his fiancee but still that’s just not how he rolls. Besides as you have pointed out he has everyone else do the talking for him so maybe he feels that he doesn’t feel the need to say anything at all. The one thing that we all or most of us can agree on is that George has handled all of this very poorly but then again maybe he just doesn’t give a crap anymore.
I think it’s fair game to make fun of her style. But could we please stop making fun of her name, that’s so low. Yes she has an arabic name , nothing wrong with that.
No one was really making fun of her name. It’s like Bennifer or Brangelina or Kimye. That’s all. No one is making fun of her Arabic name.
Everything about this is so cheezy. For two so-called high-level professionals who roll with the elite, their wedding is sounding more and more like a circus. Can’t wait to see the pictures of them cutting the cake, her mashing it into his face, him removing her garter with his teeth, the first dance….yawn.
Her street style doesn’t speak to Oscar de la Renta……..
Well, at least we’ll be spared more ‘McQueen for Littlewoods’ wedding regalia!
De la Renta is a genius when it comes to wedding dresses, he does so many different styles. So there’s still a chance Amal will wear something Hello- Kitty- inspired. But seriously, George needs to look not too old next to her, so de la Renta is the classic choice. It’s just mind blowing, how fast Clooney became the king of boredom. If people are not already done with this charade, there’s a good chance it’s gonna happen after the next ‘leaked’ photos. He’s so dead serious about proving his seriosity, that it’s laughable. He could have just gotten married on some remote island, no public pics, and most of us would have believed he’s a changed man. But this just has “written and directed by George Clooney” all over it. Would be a shame if he WAS serious after all 🙂
“written and directed by George Clooney” is right.
And considering how poorly his films have done, it doesn’t bode well for his marriage or political aspirations either.
I give it one or two failed political campaigns, then they’ll quietly divorce and George will retire from filmmaking while Amal moves on to a man who can actually do more for her career.
It’s so obvious that this chick is just along for the ride
^^This.
I actually am surprised that Amal wants to be in Vogue. She is just setting herself up for criticism by the pubic. There is only so much air brushing a Vogue Editor can do. She must realize that her fashion sense is hello kitty style and not the pages of Vogue. Maybe George, needs us to see that Professor Higgins has turned his Eliza Doolittle in a My Fair Lady. A few random shots of her with friends and family was what I thought it would be for People Magazine. Very Strange.
I’ll be reading this issue of Vogue cover to cover (in the aisle of my local Barnes & Noble). I will be happy to PURCHASE any interview done with Crazy Aunt Clooney after the wedding reception.
You know I kind of feel sorry for her. She seems to be private, so I doubt this Vogue was her idea. I am sure she want it private but you know Clooney is the one ruling everything.
I never liked him, don’t see the appeal of him and don’t think he is a great actor. It’s like he wants to show the world everything all of a sudden.
I don’t think she’s private. I think she loved the camera when the engagement was announced and it was obvious. It began being commented on how obvious it was she loved her photo-ops walks in London and I called it, George reigned her in. It was odd when I noticed it. At first I thought she just smiled out of being polite and not knowing what to do and looking over at the camera, but then it became clear she loved it. First she started looking over at the camera smiling or even smiling as she was being papped while walking And there were the daily walks. Then she started the somber look when being photographed while out and about. I thought, ah, George put an end to that since the public was over it. Then the pap shots all but stopped. I’m sure that had to do with Georgie. Then she stopped being sited so much. Now there are randoms with George over in Italy but she stays low-key.
If Clooney needed a new PR team (and he actually should hire one)- he sure would find it here 🙂 Amal LOVES the attention, but she is not trained with paps. Stacy Keibler learned faster, but she had a different background. So after the initial daily overexposure, walking with a mobile and/or coffee, she got used to it, and started to look too comfortable. But she’s a serious lawyer, right? The whole show is to make Clooney look more serious, so he needs a serious wife. A wife who, at least, would have a coffee working on a laptop- but no, she kind of started walking/looking as if she was waiting for the paps to shoot. At that point, he called her back, I believe. Amal might be intelligent, but she still has to play her part in George’s scenario. No doubt about that.
I am curious……Why is Barkin throwing a “hen” party for Amal? She is Clooney’s friend so she’s known Amal at most 5 months. Does Amal have any friends? Friends to throw a party? Is Sandra Bullock going to Amal’s made of honor?
This relationship is so stupid.
Yeah, made no sense either; I wonder if it were even true. If any Clooney friends had thrown her a hen party, then it seems to me it would have been Cindy Crawford, who’s had to learn to like several of Geoerge’s women. My experience has been, it’s your closest friends who throw you the party, not your intended’s. That’s just weird.
Ellen was in Europe on the day of the rumored bridal shower.Isn’t it strange that there is no info about who else attended this shower, no pics,tweets etc.I don’t believe she has had her bridal shower.When it happens it will be in England.
I found this perplexing too. Where are her friends? No cousins, no one besides her mom? There is literally nothing we know about her social, pre-George life. She attended NYU Law and there’s nothing on her past in any of the law-school gossip forums (yes, they exist). She seems to be a complete cipher, a blank canvas — which, again, might make her the perfect wife for him.
Not sure if true, but I read somewhere that he just met her mother recently, after the engagement. But if she lives with her mother and he came to visit or pick her up, why would he not have met her then. And is her father still alive, if so, where is he in all of this.
She got engaged to someone without him knowing her family? She lives with her mom because it is cultural, which is cool, but gets engaged without introducing him, which seems to fly in the face of her culture. I also don’t understand why her shower was not in London with her family and friends, not his. She just seems to be disappearing into his life and his lifestyle and she is losing her own identity.
People keep saying she lives with her mother. Her mother isn’t living in the U.K. from what I can see. Maybe she lives in a house her mother owns and uses when she comes there, but other than that it’s where Amal resides.
@Jayna
I understand her mother does live in the UK. Her father lives in Beirut. Maybe they are divorced/separated. I also think it’s probably the father who said she could do better.
At this point I think nothing matters about her other than her job. She’s just a vehicle for Clooney to get into politics. For some reason he thought he needed a wife (are we still so archaic?) and he found the perfect one. He’ll get the Muslim vote, he’ll get the liberal vote (she’s human rights ya’ll), she’s smart AND pretty and she elevates his status because she went to a good school, she’s a English, the list is endless. Add to it thwt no one knows anything about her and she’s the perfect future Jackie O. Georgie’s getting ready to make his own Camelot.
Amalooney ha. 🙂
Maybe Amal has real friends not celebrity friends to come to her wedding. I don’t care about Amal and George but I applaud her if she does making it about having every celeb “friends” at the wedding like many celebs do.
Wow. He’s so desperate for attention…all those stories/details/photos since March leaked (by his team) to the press everyday to change his image …pathetic !
He will marry the same year, in the same country, sell the photos to the same magazine and have multiple parties in different countries just like Kanye W. and Kim K. Oh, “Mr Private” is so private… like Kim Kardashian !
And Anal is so serious about her carrer – always on vacations (like all his previous gfs) and adoring her daily paps walk. What a joke ! This relationship is a farce. This charade orchestrated by George to change his image is so obvious. Sorry, but I don’t buy it.
G. Clooney has become a joke, a “HAS BEEN”.
All of you are just killing it with comments today. Loving it!
Yeah, super intimate if it’s going to be plastered on the pages of Vogue.
I want my old George Clooney back – the one who was private.
why are all these hollywood men having a mid life crisis in their 50’s?
Well, to be fair, 50’s is about as old as one can hope to get for a midlife crisis 🙂
Doesn’t this negate his argument about them intruding into his personal life? Since when do aspiring politicans and fancy London lawyers need a big society wedding featured in the pages of Vogue?
Clooney, the future President is just making a laughing stock out of himself now. Oh Mr. Hollywood, just admit you’re just as Hollywood as everyone else. If a camera wasn’t there it didn’t happen right?
You’re really changing my perception of you Hollywood, changing it into a negative one. I would never take this man seriously as a politician. The entire time I’d be thinking of him as his character in O Brother Where Art Thou or as the cocktail waitress chasing bachelor. I believe nothing about this little farce. Confirmed bachelor falls in love and meets the love of his life in a few months and becomes a changed man? Life does not imitate art that closely. This isn’t a romcom.
Yeah, George….that’s the look I also make every time I see another story about your boring-as-hell wedding.
She’s 36, attractive, intelligent, rich. Why has some rag like the Daily Mail not dug up ANY romantic history on her? Surely she has one.
Because isn’t she a supposedly a virgin, as is customary in the Druze faith? And what about George’s vasectomy? Did he have some of his sperm frozen? Maybe they’ll procreate via turkey baster, because I can’t picture them being intimate.
Amal’s father comes from a Druze family. It seems that they don’t want anybody to dig deeper into that subject…She was linked to Eric Schmidt (Google boss), but he is married, and to Jared Cohen (also formerly Google), but I think she is not really the type for ‘romantic’ relationships. I wouldn’t be surprised if she actually IS a virgin. She studied, always focused on her career, and perhaps prefers to have her friends in her working/studying circle. I also can’t see any intimate, or sensual, connection with George. He probably has to wait for the ‘big night’ until after the wedding.
Oh yikes. This may be true. If so, my regrets go out to Amal, who kept her V card for 30+ years! only to give it to a guy with serious back problems and more skeletons than Halloween City.
She might want to give a little more thought to the sunglasses she chooses, like maybe a pair that doesn’t scream “look at this honkin’ nose!!!” so loudly.
Ok ladies, sharpen your pen knives. 😉
I realize this will be very un PC and upsetting to the vocal ones here, but here goes.
Amal – & by the way, I love her name, especially Alamuddin (Allah-moo-deen’), and she has the correctly shaped PC body, and is obviously accomplished in her work, and I commend her on all of the above.
What grates on me is how each report begins with “the stunning beauty Amal”, “the exquisite Amal”….. (Gulp. Here goes..)
She is a total and utter butterface. Yes, how dare I go there! It’s celebitchy and don’t get to choose who gets slammed for looking lizard-like or not. Opining on looks is rude, whether you’re complimenting or criticising… And it bugs me how everyone seems averse to stepping out of line due to the politics of these times. “Exquisite”? “Gorgeous”??
She is striking. Striking looking, certainly.
But I’m sorry, that mug is just very, very unfortunate. She’s marrying Clooney, known for his “beautiful atm candy”, and uhhh…
Well it’s going to come up. Been a factor throughout his illustriously created “dating life”.
Correct shape and background for today. With a face only a mother could love. Sorry. Ppl keep commenting how beautiful, and I really don’t see it, except from the neck down, and then it’s mostly “meh” for me.
I’ve always thought George was quietly full of himself, which works well for him, and knows exactly how to charm his way around the planet. His mischievous, boyish grin goes a long way for sure.
Have also figured for certain that he would end up doing just this: date his way through as long as he could, keeping any suspicions at bay with each new escort, but that he would eventually tire of that life, and seek someone he shares common ideals with. As long as she is also discrete, plays along or even adores him, or what he can offer.
So this is all very predictable and mundane to me, although I love Oscar de la Renta wedding couture, though, and am interested to eyeball this gown. I hope it focuses on her hair and her tiny waist, though.
😀 ok hit my vile words with your best shots for being so crass as to state right here I find that face about as unfortunate – yet striking! – as everyone else comments and seemingly finds her “exsquisite”. Baby bird face with overy beak and .. :-/ not my idea of exquisite.
Imo, those types of compliments are left for the Jolies, the A Hepburns, and the Lorens of this world. Not this poor – yet accomplished and savvy – child.
I’m sure this will work out for George, and wish them the best, though. And I don’t find this politically based. George has always had a political bent and interests, nothing wring with that, and yes, in his social groups Amal will be a most excellent choice. However, in voting America, not so much. I figurevhe has smartbppl around him, so if this were simply some politcally-driven move, they’d advise hom against it if he were seriously seeking US votes.
I think he is behaving precisely as I thought he would years ago, at around his age now. So, yup, I wish them all the luck.
She’s actually a bit like Mr. Bean…..
Dear Lulu1;
😀 You’re right! I can see that clearly. A thinner, possibly hericot vert style.
And I admit it. I love me some Bean! Not ashamed to state my utterly corny sense of delight at his antics & expressions, and have seen every Mr. Bean, a few more than once. 😀 Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean slays me.
Loved him in Love, Always, too.
Thanks for sharing! I will always see him in her now. 🙂
There is either a job he wants in public office that’s come up recently OR there’s a job waiting for him in public office that will be made a strong possibility if/when he get’s himself a useful, publicly acceptable wife. I don’t think many of us on this site believe for one second that this is a real relationship – cynical (or awkwardly realistic) bunch that lurk around here! – but he’s persisting with the fairy tale – presumably because there are enough people in this world who are prepared to believe it, go along with it so they can give him/he can get what he wants. And Clooney will get what he wants, he’s had years of practice of contract relationships and now he’s found the ideal business partner. This serves them both, that is all there is to it. The only vaguely interesting thing is what ‘plan’ they have and if they will actually pull it off.
Elizabetta Canalis was more entertaining.
No entertainment for George anymore, pleeeeaaase! This is serious business! 🙂 Oh, and Elizabetta was also a bit on the ‘vulgar’ side, but that’s history for George as well. From now on, it’s gonna be political discourse, and saving at least half of the world! I can already sense the moment George is waking up, wondering where all the fun is gone.
Yes, the fun is gone for George. Been playing games for as long as I remember. I do believe he is hiding something along with it is like he is being vengeful for what Stacy did . Which means it will not last. Amal is in it for the dollars, and at times I feel George is gay, and then I do not . It smells, and he is trying very hard in rubbing this in someone’s face. I also noticed a lot of blocking on postings that state any notion on his sexuality etc. Paranoia is abound . Something is not quite fitting and it will become more apparent after this misdeed. When it blows George, will be drowning. I guess no more smug, arrogant, and nasty childish behaviour then will it? Amal’s family is set for life because he will be forking out the dole to keep them in a lavish lifestyle. A fool and his money is soon parted eh George?
@Hmmmm: I do think George planned all this, but I don’t think it’s revenge towards Stacy. Stacy’s fast moving forward as well as that joke by Fey/Poehler were sort of catalysts. I believe he realized a while ago that most of his pals are married with kids, and don’t have endless time anymore to visit him in Italy, or play basketball with him etc. The pranks he used to do come over fatuous by now, so it simply is time to grow up somehow. He also is physically not so well. I could also believe he grew tired of his own game, having another ‘contract girl’ every 2 years. And in that situation he meets Amal, reportedly at a charity event. I don’t think it was ‘accidential’ they met, at least not from HER side. She was looking for that kind of man, influential, wealthy, politically interested. I don’t think it’s the dollars Amal is after- she grew up very priveleged in a very wealthy family. To me, it looks like an arranged marriage- with mutual benefits. I don’t really care about his sexuality, I just have the impression this area is not overly important to him. Also in this regard, it seems to fit. The only thing is, will it be fitting in the long run- after all, George IS a showbiz person, with plenty of friends, and there is a fine line between being serious, and boring. But ok, time will tell, and I’m sure the prenup is solid.
OMG Look ate her big toes. SHE HAS THE BUNION…yuck George!
I just wish she would wipe that snooty look off her face. She is George Clooney’s future ex-wife.
I know a lot of people have been turned of by Vogue because of the Kim/Kanye wedding, but their is no denying that that cover was one of Vogue best selling issues in a very long time.
Because Kimye bought all the copies, duh! (Yes, celebs actually do that: Buy their own magazines for a lot of $$ just to say they were the biggest sellers, it’s good for PR and booking more jobs and Vogue or whichever magazine gets the money – win-win).
Same thing with celebs who buy instagram and twitter followers.
They Sold record breaking levels for VOGUE. Kim’s VOGUE SOLD BigTime , one of the biggest sellers ever.
Some just can’t handle the fact that Kim K sells magazines including VOGUE.
I went to a news stand in Europe to get a issue the day after it came out to the new stands here and the store owner told me, People bought them quicker than he could keep the coming out , by the time I got there , they were Gone. Sold out.
Kim and Kanye’s Vogue cover sold.
magazines MONEY Sale$ matter, not the online drama about hating her cover.
I laughed so hard because I knew it was going to sell, Anna Wintour knew exactly wants she was doing.
I loved the cover.
I wish George and Amal well. Their personal lives are their business, but to anyone who is skeptical of the ongoing media blitz surrounding this situation or any PR campaign, take a look at the Wikipedia definition of propaganda and the various techniques listed and defined. It is fascinating to see the number of potential parallels ( in my opinion). Whether or not that is what is going on here, I don’t know. Any gossip should be taken with a grain of salt and advertising is nothing new, but to me that is the most interesting aspect of this at this point.
This is a post about Amal and Clooney so I’m going to stick with them instead of contributing to the bottom of the barrel. Even when the post has nothing to do with them, at least one person will find a way to bring them up. SMH.
Amal and Clooney’s engagement can be likened to other legitimate celebrities who act/direct/produce for a living: CZJ and MD, AJ and BP, AJ and JT, etc. These people have genuine talent that they’ve used to rise ahead.
Who is AJ and JT? Do you mean Jennifer Anniston and Justin Theroux? Really, Justin Theroux is a legitimate celebrity based on his talent. He has mainly acted in smaller projects, and only is well known because of Jennifer.
I know people hate this because he is a bonafide a*&*, but Kanye West is a well known genuine musical talent , and was and will be well known before and after the Kardashians. He makes a lot of “legitimate money” and accolades in the music industry.
Fact is if Clooney sold out his “very private life” to Vogue he really isn’t better than the Kardashians. Also, Amal is so removed from the show biz area she really isn’t the same as anyone above. I would have had more respect and believed the “love story” if they privately wed instead of calling Page 6 every chance they get to drop wedding gossip.
Its ironic that a man who has publicly made anti-marriage statements, is now getting married and wanting his costly wedding to be featured in Vogue magazine.
