George Clooney Predictably Charming on Letterman
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 8:45 AM on April 4, 2008
George Clooney can do no wrong. He's the biggest star in the world even though no one sees his movies (we're looking at you, Leatherheads). Ladies wanna do him, guys wanna hang out with him. Even when he's telling a clearly rehearsed story about Britney Spears, as in the video above, he can't help but be rakish and charming.
Did you watch? See, totes charming, right? Now, compiled here for your convenience, are the five most interesting things we learned from that little exchange:
1) Clooney wears a robe while getting ready for bed.
2) Brittney Spears is his neighbor.
3) He has an assistant named Angel who sometimes lives in his guest house.
4) He is not afraid to grab a baseball bat and confront a robber.
5) He would make a terrible hostage negotiator.
That is all.

note to self : if ever in prison and meet someone named "angel" never hire them to be my personal assistant.

6) He knows how to act surprised when a talk show host brings up a subject that is on the talking points 3x5 card.

I think he's great looking any and girl would be lucky to have him, but he would only choose the smartest and prettiest girl in the whole world to be his girlfriend.

He is modelling himself more & more on Cary Grant et al including the whole ambiguous sexuality angle.

I love George Clooney. Period. Dammit. I don't care what anyone thinks. "I can't quit you!" George. I wish he would do something I hate so I could say something bad. But he doesn't.
Anyone who would really go to 'bat' for their own assistant (literally) is a sincere and genuine person. Period. I've had a few beers and am feeling very fuzzy and warm about George, so I am going to shut up....and I respect his sexuality. Straight people made me who I am today...so I'll shut up now and down 1 more tequila, and just 1 more beer and turn on the "TV".
And he's not the youngest thing on the tube, but rest easy general public, neither is the viewing audience (aging baby boomers, and us boomers just getting into midlife crisis territory).
I don't know what the so-called "next generation" will be called, but I hope they have a George Clooney to call their own. He says it like it is, and due to his celebrity can speak eloquently for many. So he does. Thank You George Clooney!

Ambiguous what? Seems quite comfortable in his heterosexuality to me.
By the way gents: this is what somebody comfortable with his heterosexuality acts like. More than a few of you need the primer.

It's hard to knock Mr Clooney and Lord of whatever knows I'm hard in many place right now for knocking any part of my anatomy against him.
He's been smug, smug-er and smug-ness itself at time but please get me to a reality show and then a waitress job at a Hollywood event in order to knock all kinds o'things outta him, if I can. Even if I don't, twill still be worth a try!
Who in hell WANTS to fuck Matt Damon when there's Clooney to fuck?!?!?

I forgot to say I respect his sexuality because it is still very apparent.

@BlindKarma: What if Fabio had been in his guest house? Would he have taken the baseball bat to him?
Also, I concur with all you ladies about the Clooney love. Dear God, a more suave, handsome and elegant man has not walked among us in many years. He is indeed up there with Cary Grant and Paul Newman in their prime.
I want to do extremely dirty things to him.

If Fabio has Georgie boy watching his back shouldn't he just shut up and try and not get smacked around any more?

@GeorgeClooneysGirlfriend: I'd think this was Sarah, but she doesn't seem like she knows much about blogs. Or computers. Or reading. So I'm just going to assume it's Stan Rosenfeld.

He's a total pro.
This is how it's done children.
It's not "all about me" it's "here's a story that shows I'm a beloved schmuck just like you".
He only makes it look so easy.
Kudos.

I think it was very nice of him to check up on his assistant. Looking back, I think that some of my old bosses would have just let me be killed, and then blame me for it because I "should have seen that coming."

Okay: gay, not gay, which is it?
Could the flat "chick"" be a trans/vestite/gendered individual? or a least partially transgendered? It's neck is rather thick and in no way behaves like a lady...

George Clooney's current girlfriend, Sarah Larson, used to be a go-go dancer in Vegas. Also on her resume is being hired by promoters to "attend special events in sexy outfits and party with her wild girlfriends." Armed with this knowledge, one may stumble upon pictures of Sarah partying in Vegas. And that's what Star Magazine did. "Sarah is outgoing and fun ... [link]
