Star: George Clooney’s ‘baby batter’ might be too ‘geriatric’ to conceive

wenn22861895

I personally think that George and Amal Clooney probably will have a baby at some point, probably sooner rather than later. Sources have been saying that both George and Amal are open to the idea of parenthood and that they’re actively trying to conceive. George has also left open the possibility in several interviews as well. So… basically, that’s game on for the tabloids to discuss George’s “geriatric baby batter.” Seriously. That’s a quote from Star Magazine. Bless them.

Baby fever is in the air—it’s everywhere! It’s been almost a year since sexy silver fox George Clooney, finally shed his eternal bachelor status to marry his lady love. The Gravity actor and his brilliant, exotic wife, Amal Clooney, will celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary on September 27. Sounds kind of like a fairy tale, but there’s a big problem the pair is facing.

The couple appears to have it all, but there’s one element that’s amiss—a baby Clooney. Now, the two are on a fast track with plans to get the process going. But at the not-so-tender age of 54, the Ocean’s Eleven star may have challenges ahead in the procreation department, meaning his prime baby-making years being long-gone might affect their desire for a baby.

In addition to George’s geriatric baby batter, there’s Mrs. Clooney’s high-powered career as a lawyer and activist, which keeps her super busy and on the move. Besides her own biological clock ticking away, Amal’s barely 100-pound body weight is also a major cause for concern since reportedly a woman underweight has a tough time conceiving.

Things may not be all bleak on the baby-making front, however. A man is actually equipped to produce sperm throughout his entire lifetime. So while the ER alum’s swimmers may not move as quickly, they’re still fully capable of arriving at their destination.

[From Star Magazine]

I don’t think Amal is “barely 100 pounds,” just because she’s pretty tall. She’s very slender, for sure, but my guess is that she’s probably 115-120 pounds. As for George’s geriatric baby batter, I’m sure his guys will be able to function. Except I always thought George probably had a vasectomy long ago, but that’s reversible. Basically, I think an Alamooney Baby will happen. Maybe not right now, but soon. Prepare yourselves.

PS… Good news for one of Amal’s clients as well – Mohamed Fahmy, the Canadian journalist charged with terrorism in Egypt, has been pardoned by the Egyptian president. Interesting.

    everything about this is gross

    • mimif says:

      Could have gone without reading that combo of words, and this is coming from someone who drops Cisco Adler’s balls on the reg.

      • Saywhatwhen says:

        Absolutely disgusting. Crude. A publication that wants to talk like a commenter on a blog. Used to read magazines and newspapers as a relaxed means of improving my vocabulary. Now not so much.

      • kri says:

        mimif-I still can’t forgive you for the Cisco Syndrome I now suffer from. Please, if anyone out there doesn’t know about Dem Ballz DO NOT ASK HER^^^^. But “geriatric baby batter” is just…if Michael K said it, I would be all “meh, MK.” But omg, in an article from the esteemed Star Mag, I’m clutching my pearls. (Normal size, not Cisco size).

    • Zwella Ingrid says:

      hahahahahahahahaha!

  2. MG says:

    “Baby batter?” …..super gross.

  3. Alice says:

    Star – Just stick to the “stars without makeup” stories, please.

  4. snowflake says:

    Well duh, ya think! Anyway, I am convinced he has had a vasectomy otherwise he would have some babies out there. He doesn’t strike me as a guy who always wraps it.

  5. Kelly says:

    Why is she dressed like that and he’s in jeans with an untucked shirt?

  6. Tifygodess says:

    The term “George’s geriatric baby batter” is not something I want to read before noon- nope, let me change that to ever. Yuck.

  7. minx says:

    Men older than him have fathered children.
    Sounds like a typical Star story.

    • Wren says:

      Yup. Men remain fertile right up until they die practically. A man’s testicles don’t “dry up” like a woman’s eggs do, since sperm are continuously produced while a woman is born with all the eggs she has. It’s the, uh, other piece of equipment that can cease to function and therefore render a man functionally infertile.

      But, yeah, ugh. Baby batter? There’s not enough coffee in the world for that.

      • Imqrious2 says:

        They may remain fertile, but the quality of the sperm declines as men age, as do women’s eggs. Recent medical studies are showing older fathers’ sperm increases chances of birth defects, esp. psychological defects (autism, schizophrenia, etc.) Here are just two of many site links about this:

      • kibbles says:

        It’s true. Men have a much higher chance (at least hope) of having babies in their senior years. Women just can’t have any after menopause. However, the sperm quality is quite low and there is a much higher chance of birth defects. A friend just told me about a couple she knows. Both man and woman are over 40 and the kid is autistic. I’m hearing a lot more of these stories from older couples, but I also know people in their 20s who have disabled children so these things can be completely out of one’s control regardless of age. Amal is under 40 and with the help of doctors I believe both can have biological children if that is what they want.

    • Jib says:

      Yes, if anyone is having trouble in the conception department, I think it is Amal, with her “high powered career.” Haha!! More likely the fact that she probably has a BMI of about 10. That is why she can’t conceive.

      And I know it’s disgusting, but “geriatric baby batter” made me laugh out loud!

  8. dawnchild says:

    I don’t know why, but that’s a revolting thought…the Alamooney conception imagery. Kind of like trying to avoid imagining one’s parents doing it. George has officially reached non-sexy.

  9. Astrid says:

    I don’t see a baby coming any time soon. They’re just talking and appeasing the press

    • nicole says:

      Astrid, exactly, just trying to keep the public and media intereseted in the “marriage”, I will be verrry surprised if they ever have a baby, I am not convinced they even have a pyhisical relationship. If they do I think it will be a surrogate.

  10. Hazel says:

    I thought he had vasectomy. Or was that another lie?

  11. T.Fanty says:

    Am I the only one who loves everything about that title?

    • j.eyre says:

      Absolutely not! As a matter of fact, I think we finally have a name for that congealed mess we made the other night after the gin was gone and the drunchies had set in.

      Seriously, what made you think corn starch would make it better?

  12. qwerty says:

    Surely that can’t be! Men age like fine wine! Biology and gravity don’t apply to them! It’s only women who fall apart a week after they turn 30.

    Have I been lied to my whole life?

  13. Talie says:

    Reminds me of Angela Bassett on AHS, calling it “baby gravy”

  14. abby says:

    George’s “Geriatric Baby Batter” and the whole “actively trying to conceive”

    Bleh. Gross, Nothing about that is titillating.

    I mean, I know they want you to think of ER/Oceans George but all I can picture is bad back/grandpa “geriatric” George.

    Amal, good on you for taking that on. That’s dedication and love.

  15. Jem says:

    George is gay and just elaborately closeted. She agreed to beard because of fame.

    • Illyra says:

      Yep.

    • boredblond says:

      Don’t think he’s gay–always thought bi..but there’s a pic of him a couple days ago on CDAN that looks like he’s holding hands with some guy..hilarious.

      • nicole says:

        That old guy has been his friend for ages, hes married, I dont think there is anything with that. Jem I kinda agree with you but Im not sure. Its hard to think a women would do that for fame and money. But there is something not normal with that relationship, and she is getting alot from it, so who knows. All I know is it must be awful to live a life like that, if and I say if , it is true, but who knows, its there life.

      • siri says:

        @nicole: Yeah, that guy is with him forever, I suppose he’s his bodyguard. I think they had a good time drinking…

      • Daffy says:

        @siri and @nicole
        It’s Ben Weiss, one of ‘the boys’ (GC’s longtime friends) who worked on ‘Friends’ as an assistant director. He got married 2-3 years ago to Melania (she’s younger than Anna Kendrick). Anna talked about him in one of her interview for ‘Up in the air’ because it was weird for her to see a man (Ben Weiss) older than George date a woman younger than her.

  16. Christin says:

    I could envision an adoption in their future. That’s all.

  17. jinni says:

    George’s geriatric baby batter sounds like the name of an cure-all/ all purpose cleaner that a snake oil salesman would go from town to town peddling to unwitting townsfolk.
    Step right up! Step right up and hear the miraculous, wondrous, and amazing things that you can do once you try George’s geriatric baby batter! Car won’t start? Put a little spoon of George in it and it’ll purr like a kitten! Hair thinning? Rub some of George’s Geriatric Baby Batter on your head and soon your friends will be calling you Samson! Got a sore throat that just won’t go away? Take a spoon of George’s Geriatric Baby Batter and you’ll be good as new in no time!

  18. Elisha says:

    Ageist as hell but I still find this hilarious, probably because it goes after both of them and also, it’s George Clooney, so.

  19. siri says:

    I would have to see it to believe it. Because I simply can’t picture them with a baby/child. I also don’t think they want one. George seems to like being with kids as long as they are not his. And Amal doesn’t exude the any caring vibes, not even towards her husband. They both seem too self-obsessed to me. I believe they both fancy the idea of becoming that new power couple that saves the world. So no, I don’t believe this story. And in general, I don’t get why people who got married are somehow expected to become parents. But perhaps it’s just a way to keep them in the news…

  20. Jen says:

    Welp, she’s nearing 40, he’s mid 50’s. But then they have tons of cash for whatever treatments they want. Honestly, I think they’re both too self centered to be parents. Just my two cents.

  21. Ryan says:

    It’s even more gross to me to think that someone who seemed so level-headed about not procreating might be considering procreating, probably just to appease someone else.

  22. SideEyeSally says:

    Saying that Amal is 100 pounds might be generous. She is 5’7″ (or 5’8″ as it has been stated by another source). Some of her clothing seems to hang from her frame or looks like they were selected from the Girls Department. Skinny, thin, skeletal….choose one.

    • Fluff says:

      She doesn’t look super skinny to me, just very slim. I was about 100lb (at 5’4) once. There’s no way she’s 100lbs at her height. Maybe 110-120.

  23. rudy says:

    That’s great the guy was pardoned!!

  24. Fluff says:

    Calling her “exotic” (ie “non-white”) is just the cherry on top of this shit sundae of an article.
