One of the best parts about not being in college is that I can totally hold my liquor. Something magical happened when I graduated – I stopped drinking to excess. The last time I got really, really soused was New Year’s Eve, and I had the hellish hangover to prove it. I’d like to believe that excess is part of youth, that as we get older we learn more and more about what our bodies can take. And I hope that when I’m George Clooney’s age, I’m certainly not out there picking people up in bars while getting falling-down drunk.
Perhaps I should give Clooney an easy time. Last week he was out and about, getting hammered in Miami. According to Radar Online, Clooney “took a little me-time Thursday, downing tequila shooters at a Miami’s Quattro restaurant with a pair of young, comely beauties. The Oscar winner left in a car with at least one of them. Perhaps to discuss foreign policy with her?” To be fair, he might have been celebrating his birthday with tequila shots and voluptuous bimbos (since he does have a type, after all). And what, perchance, is The Most Eligible Bachelor’s age? Forty-eight. Forty-eight years old and he can’t hold his liquor, according to the National Enquirer. Tsk, tsk.
George Clooney parties hearty — AND the inevitable aftermath!
Although George turned 48 last week the A-lister can still down booze like nobody’s business.
After spending the hot Miami day filming new flick Up in the Air, George was spotted heading for the Blade nightclub at the fabled Fountainebleau hotel through a series of underground conduits.
“He was drinking vodka and Patron, but it looked like he’d had enough,” a source said.
Later, eyewitnesses said they saw a stumbly, had too-much “George throw up in the VIP area” at LIV nightclub.
LIV and let puke?

Doesn’t it seem like Clooney is becoming that guy? That middle-aged guy that sits at the bar during Happy Hour, trying to buy drinks for the college girls? That guy who stares just a little bit too long? That creepy “uncle” that talks about how you’ve “blossomed”? Not that I wouldn’t hit it. I mean, he is George Clooney after all. Creepy or not, he’s still the 21st century Cary Grant. Did Cary Grant ever have a creepy moment?
Here’s George filming scenes of his upcoming movie “Up in the Air” in Miami on Monday. Images thanks to BauerGriffinOnline.
Maybe he should hook up with Lindsay. They could make some real art.
Grow up already. Really.
it’s none of ur business if the man wants to drink and screw bimbos.
he doesn’t seem to be aging gloriously, as Cary Grant and other icons, managed to do.
He’s just shrinking, bit by bit. Rather than growing wiser as he ages, he just seems to be wizening up.
Ah, another year, less class.
you forgot a supply of viagra
thats what I think when I see his mug, poster boy for ED drugs
but when is he gonna grow up?
He does seem like that guy, but he’s GEORGE F*CKING CLOONEY.
Its not like he gets plastered every other day. Let the man party it up for Christs sake, he’s George F’ing CLOONEY!
Go for it George. Happy birthday! Live it up, these folks are such wet blankets
I think that even his time has come to settle down. He would do good to marry soon even if it’s to a twenty something.
I fully agree with you, Kaiser. Clooney’s turning into THAT man. But he’s still got it all together (for now). In the future Clooney will probably live a lifestyle not unlike the one embodied by that other creepy, old fart, Hugh Hefner.
Good man George! Kaiser, stop being such a Puritan! If the man wants to get hammered and chat up young ones on his 48th birthday he’s entitled. Just because you got sense when you graduated (whoopee for you)there’s no need to be so prissy and judgemental.
Oh George George George, give it a rest old man. Damn overgrown frat boy.
You said it trollydolly & Dan!Besides its not like he walks around town drunk or gets arrested for DUI. Go George
I just think he’s gay, and he’s drinking because he can’t come out and its eating him up inside.
How is this a story? This is how George spends most of his nights.
There is a horrible creepy movie where Cary Grant sort of dates Sandra Dee, when he’s a haggard late 40s and she’s a prepubescent-looking 18-20. I can never bear to watch much of that one. In real life, he was supposedly an overbearing controlling type with wife Dyan Cannon, too.
But I ignore all that and love him in his older movies.
George Clooney is definitely veering in to the Pathetic zone. At some point, being a good-looking male celebrity doesn’t make up for being the human equivalent of a spittoon.
He needs to marry Jennifer Aniston. Just because it would piss off Brad Pitt, and provide nearly infinite celebrity gossip cover stories.
Trollydolly, I prefer to be prissy and judgmental. I’d love to hear this phrase trotted out when an actress is lambasted on this site for being a “whore,” “slut,” “ho,” etc. As “suave” as he supposedly is, Clooney tends not to date women who have equal status (partly because they’re so young, I guess). And yeah, I agree with the Hugh Hefner comparison. Despite Clooney’s panache and gender, he is a whore (how harsh and awful that sounds, but people have no trouble trashing women like this). I have nothing against Clooney. He’s a womanizer (how much nicer that sounds than whore), and clearly doesn’t need a long-term, committed relationship with any woman.
He needs to find his Annette Bening.
Bob hahahahahahaha that’s hilarious!!!
He is starting to age badly.I think it’s time for him to settle down.But it’s his life,he can do whatever he wants.
@J.Ferber – while I totally see your point (and agree) about sexism, may I just add that I have never lambasted a woman on this site for being a “whore”.
Quite the contrary.
A ROLE MODEL for our times…awesome. And what do you mean by “excessive”?
“George Clooney’s 48th b-day includes excessive amount of liquor & bimbos”
You know who else is ‘that guy’? Hugh Grant. Yeesh.
Trollydolly, No, I certainly didn’t mean you lambasted women for being “whores,” and I’m sorry if it came across that way. What I meant is that other bloggers on this site are all “how cute” or “he’s so hot” when posting about male sexual escapades, but are all “we are not amused” or “you can’t make a housewife out of a ho” when it comes to female sexual shenanigans. I like your phrase “prissy and judgmental” and that’s why I used it.
Well, he is one of the few top (if not the only) actors in the industry without a child out of wedlock.
Yes, but he’s an equal opportunity whore. From hot mature actresses like Ellen Barkin to hot waitresses like Sarah Larson, he doesn’t discriminate as long as she’s hot. Can’t blame him for that.
Like many men today who have never realistically “grown up” he is living in his never-neverland. Never a committment as long as everything is pleasing his fantasies. Once faced with the reality of it all or the “Dominique Dunne of it all” he may have to face the music and dance. Good night and happy 48th “Peter Pan”.
