George Clooney did an interview with Rolling Stone and what he revealed seems more like it was for Playboy instead. He talked about when he lost his virginity, his first orgasm, “Johnsons” and farts.
He told the magazine that he lost his cherry when he was 16, an age that he says was “young, very young, too young”. Probably because if you think about his current girlfriend wasn’t even born when he was practicing to make babies.
Now even though he says first time was too young, he actually shares that he had his first orgasm about a decade beforehand. He divulged, “I mean, nothing came out, but all the other elements were there. I remember getting to the top of the rope, hanging off the rope, and going, “Oh, my God, this feels great!” So if I ever meet him, I will make sure to wear ropes since I know it will bring back a fond memory and maybe I can help him remember his first time!!!
Now the interview wasn’t only about orgasms and virginity, he also shared what always makes him giggle. He loves the word “Johnson” so much so that he said “Always. ‘He showed her his Johnson and she left.’ You can actually say that in mixed company or on late-night TV.” He’s also pretty fond of farts, especially when hanging out with his pals. “We think it’s one of the funniest things in the history of mankind. Even the idea of a fart makes me laugh. Saying the word ‘fart’ makes me laugh. I have iFart on my phone. I have remote whoopee cushions. Farts. To me, there’s nothing funnier.”
Now that I know him better, I am not exactly sure it was for the better.
Back in 1998 an unknown actress named Katie Holmes became a star in a little show called Dawson’s Creek, now 8 years after the show ended she told Robin Roberts on Good Morning America if she is up for a reunion with Joshua Jackson (Fringe), James Van Der Beek (Apartment 23) and Michelle Williams (My Week with Marilyn). Suri’s mom said, “It would be fun. I had so much fun working on that show and I loved everyone so much and I think about it with such fond memories. A really great group of people.” Well now that Katie is on board, hopefully Kevin Williamson will find some time in between The Vampire Diaries and The Secret Circle to write a reunion episode and we can really what happened during those missing years that they showed in the finale. Forget Friends, I would rather have this cast reunite!!!
Days after Brett Ratner said, “Rehearsal? What’s that? Rehearsal’s for fags. Rehearsal. Not much,” he has resigned from directing this year’s Oscars. Her released the below statement:
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last few days, I’ve gotten a well-deserved earful from many of the people I admire most in this industry expressing their outrage and disappointment over the hurtful and stupid things I said in a number of recent media appearances. To them, and to everyone I’ve hurt and offended, I’d like to apologize publicly and unreservedly.
As difficult as the last few days have been for me, they cannot compare to the experience of any young man or woman who has been the target of offensive slurs or derogatory comments. And they pale in comparison to what any gay, lesbian, or transgender individual must deal with as they confront the many inequalities that continue to plague our world.
So many artists and craftspeople in our business are members of the LGBT community, and it pains me deeply that I may have hurt them. I should have known this all along, but at least I know it now: words do matter. Having love in your heart doesn’t count for much if what comes out of your mouth is ugly and bigoted. With this in mind, and to all those who understandably feel that apologies are not enough, please know that I will be taking real action over the coming weeks and months in an effort to do everything I can both professionally and personally to help stamp out the kind of thoughtless bigotry I’ve so foolishly perpetuated.
As a first step, I called Tom Sherak this morning and resigned as a producer of the 84th Academy Awards telecast. Being asked to help put on the Oscar show was the proudest moment of my career. But as painful as this may be for me, it would be worse if my association with the show were to be a distraction from the Academy and the high ideals it represents.
I am grateful to GLAAD for engaging me in a dialogue about what we can do together to increase awareness of the important and troubling issues this episode has raised and I look forward to working with them. I am incredibly lucky to have a career in this business that I love with all of my heart and to be able to work alongside so many of my heroes. I deeply regret my actions and I am determined to learn from this experience.
Sincerely,
Brett Ratner
This morning, Brett Ratner submitted his resignation as a producer of the 84th annual Academy Awards to Academy President Tom Sherak. Ratner then issued an open letter to the entertainment industry in which he explained his decision.
“He did the right thing for the Academy and for himself,” Sherak said. “Words have meaning, and they have consequences. Brett is a good person, but his comments were unacceptable. We all hope this will be an opportunity to raise awareness about the harm that is caused by reckless and insensitive remarks, regardless of the intent.”
I never thought he was the right man for the job, so his resignation doesn’t bother me. I just hope that Eddie Murphy goes with him because I am not how he will do in the job with his director. Maybe they will get Billy Crystal to host? Please, please, please!
I have a feeling that this year’s Oscars will be more about the backstage drama than the actual show. Because it is already November and there is no Oscar buzz whatsoever. I don’t remember a year as silent as this one, do you?
Before Brandon Routh was Superman, he was just a guy picking up a girl in Odd Man Out. He looks the same now as he did when he was 19 in that 1999 sitcom.
