Seriously? OMG! WTF?

"I always heard that George has amazing chemistry with all of his co-stars," said Barkin, freshly divorced from billionaire Ronald Perelman, at the American Cinematheque tribute to Clooney the other night. "Now I see why. … I’m probably the only one of many actresses to stand up here and admit yes, I have f— George Clooney. I’m very proud of it actually. … If you don’t have chemistry with George Clooney, you need to check your pulse." Yesterday, a rep for Barkin insisted the actress "was just goofing around. It was a roast. She was being funny." Whatever. At the very least, George knows she’s willing. Also at the L.A. dinner was Julia Roberts, who told Clooney, "Before I met my husband, you were the best man I ever met. … You’re cute and funny and you do wacky things with shaving cream and Neosporin." Before anyone could conjure a picture of George lathering Julia up, she added, "I don’t mean that in a sexy way." Salma Hayek warned, "Girls, he’s the best friend you can have. But he’d make a lousy boyfriend." Hayek didn’t say how she reached that conclusion. Though she did allow, "For a non-Mexican, he makes the best shrimp quesadillas I have had." Noah Wyle, Danny DeVito, Catherine Zeta-Jones and other friends tormented Clooney with pictures of his youthful mullet, as well as clips from his old television pilots and bombs like "Batman & Robin" and the "Return of the Killer Tomatoes!" Carl Reiner hailed Clooney’s impression of Liza Minnelli’s ex-husband David Gest. Don Cheadle said, "No one is more infantile than George. That’s why he doesn’t have any children. He doesn’t want the competition." Taped tributes came from Matt Damon, Renee Zellweger, Paul Newman, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Madeleine Albright and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Clooney countered that he had no regrets about his hairstyles or early work. "I do have regrets in my life," he said. "I regret that Michelle Pfeiffer was married when we did ‘One Fine Day.’ And that Julia and Catherine Zeta-Jones were married, too. Also Matt Damon, but that’s a different story. I’d like a crack at him." The show airs on AMC on Dec. 13.

If the Securuty Council was all women, anything he asked for would be achieved! 

The wisecracking safecrackers of "Ocean’s Thirteen" return this week for some unfinished business. Most of the cast from the 2001 "Ocean’s Eleven" remake and "Ocean’s Twelve" arrive today for the first of two Las Vegas shoots. In town for film scenes at McCarran International Airport and Bellagio are George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Andy Garcia, Carl Reiner and new addition Ellen Barkin. Missing from the lineup will be Julia Roberts, Clooney’s love interest in the first two movies, and "Ocean’s Twelve" co-star Catherine Zeta-Jones, who played an investigator out to nab them in Europe.
Producer Jerry Weintraub has hired Bernie Yuman, longtime manager of Siegfried & Roy, to represent the film for the Las Vegas shoot. Yuman said that he met Weintraub more than a decade ago when Weintraub invited Siegfried & Roy to participate in "Vegas Vacation." "We made the deal (on ‘Ocean’s Thirteen’) and we’ve talked almost every day since," Yuman said.

I guess Julia Roberts is too busy food shopping to do this movie. 

George Clooney and producing partner Steven Soderbergh have decided to close down their Section Eight production company, which they founded six years ago.  The Syriana star will officially part ways with Soderbergh on August 1 to launch Smoke House, a production company he is forming with his Good Night, And Good Luck collaborator Grant Heslov. Section Eight will continue to produce Clooney’s upcoming movies, including Ocean’s Thirteen and The Good German, both directed by Soderbergh. Soderbergh has said he would like to focus more on film-making and less on the film development and producing process.

I love Clooney, but man are his movies boring as all hell. And with Soderberg he is even more boring.
