Last week, we talked about George Clooney and Brad Pitt’s GQ cover and dual interview. It was an exercise in arrogance, but it was also grotesquely fascinating from a white-bro-code perspective. The interview took place at the Chateau Miraval, the French estate which is owned by Brad and now Yuri Shefler, after Shefler bought Angelina Jolie’s 50% stake in the estate. Miraval is ground zero of a lot of different lawsuits, all of which would have created a rich backstory for a GQ profile. Instead, none of that was mentioned, as Brad and George performed their “friendship” and bro-code for an audience. Amal Clooney was even roped into the charade and we were supposed to think, “hey, Brad can’t be a bad guy if Amal and the Clooney kids like him!” Nevermind that Brad’s kids want nothing to do with him after he abused them and their mother. Well, George and Brad are promoting this stupid movie, Wolfs, and the world premiere will happen at the Venice Film Festival. Which isn’t far from Como, Italy, where the Clooneys have a home. Guess who flew out for a relaxing pre-festival vacation in Como?

As Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s teen daughter Shiloh Jolie officially dropped her dad’s famous last name Monday, Pitt was spotted over the weekend headed to hang with his Hollywood BFF George Clooney, we hear.

Spies told Page Six they saw Pitt arriving via private jet in Milan — and that the “Fight Club” star was overheard telling a private greeter at Linate Airport that he was “headed to Lake Como to visit Clooney and his wife, Amal,” according to our source.

The insider added that the star was solo without gal pal Ines de Ramon, and that, Pitt, 60, “wore a beige bucket hat, aviator glasses, a navy, casual jacket and blue jeans and sneakers.”

The star allegedly was flanked by “a team of security guards” as he “rushed through passport control and practically jogged past bystanders who had gathered to see him.”

“One of the guards approached several groups of people hanging out, and said, ‘Are you all supposed to be here?’ ” we hear, as “Pitt ran by and into a waiting Range Rover.”

A black Mercedes wagon apparently followed and “in mere minutes he came and went,” said the spy.

“Brad Pitt’s a ghost!” quipped the impressed jet-setter who’d landed on a private flight ahead of the star.

But I thought Brad cared about his kids? Pax was hospitalized for complex trauma, Shiloh just dropped his name and Zahara’s heading back to college. Surely Brad should stick around LA for his kids, right? Oh, I guess not. The funniest part, to me, about George Clooney doing the most to rehabilitate Brad’s image is that George’s image is in the toilet right now too. I don’t think he even realizes that. His New York Times op-ed about President Biden was really f–ked up, to the point where I think a lot of people put him on their permanent sh-tlists. It’s always two dumb bitches telling each other exactlyyyy.
