Star: Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel are fighting over their awful prenup Posted: 17 Feb 2012 08:46 AM PST Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake's (alleged) engagement got the strangest roll-out ever. Unnamed sources confirmed the engagement to various outlets, then Justin's grandma confirmed the news. The news was met with a collective "meh" and "Girl, why you marrying him? He'll cheat on you. Again and again and again." There are also so many reports suggesting that Timberlake only proposed to Jessica to get her to STFU – a stop-gap measure, if you will. And since their engagement, JT and Biel still haven't walked hand-in-hand, showing off a sparkling engagement ring. Perhaps because the ring Justin gave her was way too small? So if there weren't enough blaring sirens telling this couple that maybe they should just breakup instead of getting hitched, here's another one. Star Magazine reports that JT and Biel are now fighting over the prenup. This story makes Jessica sound so utterly pathetic. The honeymoon is over for Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel – before it even began. Since they got engaged over the holidays, the couple have been butting heads over everything from hammering out their prenup to becoming parents. And JT's serial cheating throughout their four-year romance is a big issue. "She thinks if he strays during the marriage, she should be royally compensated," says an insider. "She wants a fidelity clause in the prenup giving her at least $500,000 if he does." But Justin is offering a cash settlement with no fidelity clause or alimony, adds the source. "But Jess won't budge." Biel also insists that they hold off on starting a family. "If he's faithful for several years, maybe she'll agree to have his baby," says the insider. "She doesn't trust him 100 percent yet. Jessica figures if she gets fat during the pregnancy, he'll cheat again." [From Star Magazine, print edition] If any part of that is true, Jessica just needs to get out. Just go, girl. It's not worth it. But here's the thing – both CB and I think this story was probably made up completely. How do I know? Because Jessica isn't this self-aware. I don't think she would ever say to herself, "He'll cheat on me if I get pregnant and gain weight." I don't think she would ever demand a cheating codicil in the prenup because she won't admit that those huge problems exist in her relationship. Another thought occurred to me while I was reading this – you know how Jennifer Garner and Biel are tight? I think Biel is trying to fashion her life/career on Garner's path at this point. It's not the worst strategy, with the Dimple Parade and the wholesomeness and the overlooking of your husband's extracurricular activities, then building a "brand" based on motherhood and family and such. Jessica Alba is trying to do The Garner Method right now, but no one really cares. But I think Biel really wants to try it. Photos courtesy of WENN.

Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux do the ‘Wanderlust’ red carpet separately Posted: 17 Feb 2012 07:58 AM PST Here are some photos from last night's LA premiere of Wanderlust. Jennifer Aniston was unquestionably the star of the red carpet and praise Jesus, she didn't wear a miniskirt or a boring LBD. She wore this head-to-toe Tom Ford ensemble that… well, it's more interesting then most of her red carpet looks. I like the idea of Aniston is a pencil skirt and bustier, and the herringbone fabric is pretty cool. Is the bustier supposed to fit like this, though? It seems too tight at the bust and too big at the waist. I'm also including a profile pic of Aniston so all of you bump-watchers can analyze. Oh, and there are dozens of photos of Aniston playing with her hair on the red carpet, so you know… discuss her hair too. I think it looks messy and unkempt, which is the look she was going for – "beachy". Meh. Aniston and her boyfriend, Justin Theroux, made sure to walk the red carpet separately. One look at Theroux's hair and you know why. WTF?!?!?! OMG. Dude, you're balding. Just accept it. Don't try to "mask" your hairline by giving yourself itty-bitty DUDE BANGS TRAUMA. Not a good red carpet debut as "Aniston's latest boyfriend." Sure, she cleaned him up. But now he's TOO cleaned up. And this photo makes him look like Steve Carell on the poster for The 40 Year Old Virgin. I just thought I'd throw this photo of Malin Akerman in because I absolutely hate her Sonia Rykiel dress. Malin is such a pretty girl – why did she do this? Photos courtesy of WENN.

Chris Brown was all over Rihanna at her bday party, tried to get guests to keep quiet Posted: 17 Feb 2012 07:10 AM PST I guess we can assume that all the stories about Chris Brown and Rihanna hooking up again, including a recent one in which they’re said to have spent four hours alone in a dressing room together – were true. Not only was Chris a guest at Rihanna’s recent 24th birthday party, as we’ve already heard, he was macking all over her all night long. He tried to get all the partygoers to sign non-disclosure agreements in which they wouldn’t reveal that he was even there, but of course the news leaked anyway. What a dumbass he is. Here’s the story from TMZ: Chris Brown was so paranoid about keeping his attendance at Rihanna’s birthday party a big fat secret — he actually tried to FORCE partygoers to sign confidentiality agreements … TMZ has learned. Sources tell us, Chris refused to enter the private party Monday night at the famous Hearst Mansion in Beverly Hills until everyone signed an NDA — sending his henchmen in beforehand to gather every partygoer’s signature. We’re told although they didn’t get EVERYONE to sign — Chris eventually walked in … and spent a huge chunk of the night nuzzling up against Rihanna. According to sources, the two got real intimate — sitting next to each other, talking, and holding hands … all perfectly legal ever since the restraining order was lifted. As for the rest of the party — we’re told it was jam-packed with celebs including Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, and Chris Martin (no Gwyneth). [From TMZ] TMZ also has a photo of Rihanna’s super strange fug birthday cake. It involved a Rihanna lookalike riding a giant spliff. I wonder if she uses the same bakery that made Miley Cyrus’ p3nis cake. Rihanna probably thinks that Chris has changed and that she can handle him now. I hate to see her with him again, but for her sake I hope she’s right. There are plenty of other stories about Chris in light of his somewhat triumphant comeback, which has of course been marred by his piss poor entitled defensive attitude. Yesterday we heard that Chris’ new pickup line was “Can I get your number? I promise I won’t beat you.” His rep sort-of denied that report to US Weekly, claiming “I’d be surprised if Chris said something that stupid.” Well team Breezy has revised their approach and they now swear that Chris never said that. They even try to make it sound like this statement is directly from him. “That is absurd and absolutely not true. I did not say that nor would I joke about that.” Uh huh. Also, someone e-mailed me about a Daily Mail story in which they claim there are now “disturbing new details” about the night that Chris beat Rihanna to a pulp, bit her on the ear and hand, and left her alone in the car with her injuries. The details aren’t new at all, they were directly in the police report which came out three years ago. The Daily Mail has since revised the story to take out the “disturbing new details” part. Maybe if more people read the actual police report they would understand why so many of us want Chris to stay far away from Rihanna, and just as far away from our TV sets. These photos of Rihanna and Chris together are from 2008: Rihanna is shown outside a recording studio on 2-10-12 and with Chris in 2008. Chris is shown at the airport on 9-8-11. Credit: FameFlynet

ITW: Jessica Simpson “looks huge, almost unrecognizable,” is at risk for gest. diabetes Posted: 17 Feb 2012 06:19 AM PST The tabs are making fun of Jessica Simpson’s pregnancy weight gain, but they’re doing it in that faux-concern “she could have medical problems” way, which actually sort-of works when we’re talking about a pregnant lady. Jessica kind of brought this on herself by so openly discussing the crap she eats while she’s pregnant. She said last month that she regularly indulges in “Kraft Mac n' Cheese, Pop Tarts, Cap'n Crunch. Everything filled with sugar.” She also admitted to putting butter on toasted Pop Tarts. Jessica isn’t due until April, but she looks like she’s due any minute. In Touch points out that she’s at potential risk for gestational diabetes. On a recent outing in Beverly Hills, onlookers were shocked to see Jessica Simpson’s bloated pre-baby body. “She looks really huge, almost unrecognizable,” an onlooker tells In Touch… According to a source, some doctors are equally alarmed at her dramatic weight gain. So much so that they’ve issued a stern warning: Eating too much junk food or gaining too much weight while pregnant increases the chances of gestational diabetes, hypertension and having a baby too big to deliver naturally! How did things get so out of control? “Jessica’s the happiest she’s been in ages, and she loves the fact that no one stares at her when she’s downign pizza or eating a tub of ice cream,” the source tells In Touch… That’s a recipe for disaster, says nutritionist and author… Jackie Keller. “Why would you deliberately sabotage your body with unhealthy, fatty foods? You’re not supposed to eat twice as much – you just need 300 extra calories a day,” Keller tells In Touch. LA ob-gyn Layne Kumetz, M.D., concurs.”The recommended gain for a woman at a healthy weight is 25 pounds,” Kumetz tells In Touch. Jessica has gained 40 – and counting. [From In Touch, print edition, January 27, 2012] In Touch isn’t saying anything that’s new. One of the suggested Google searches for Jessica Simpson is “Jessica Simpson Pregnancy Weight Gain.” Poor Jess. I think she looks cute. I’ll be honest, I gained over 50 pounds during my first/only pregnancy. (I got tested for gestational diabetes and thankfully I didn’t have it.) There are photos of me right before I gave birth and I’m still astonished to see how huge I looked. While pregnant I tried to eat healthy whole foods and didn’t even think I was eating that much more than I normally do. I must have eaten a lot more to get to that point. After my son was born I lost most of the weight pretty quickly. Those last 15 pounds were a bitch, though. So I guess I’m saying that Jessica can lose it too. I don’t think it’s fair to pick on a pregnant lady for gaining weight and I would have been mortified if people did it to me. Jessica kind of invites it by admitting the junk she’s eating though. That’s not nourishing to her baby or her. This has me thinking – how much is this woman going to overshare after she gives birth? We’ve already heard all about her bodily functions and poor hygiene. Her stories are going to be epic after she has a baby. In related news Star Magazine has a pretty funny story about how Jessica tried to cut in line at a popular Mexican restaurant and was told to wait at the back of the line like everyone else. Even her huge baby bump couldn’t get her a free pass at that place. She gave up and ended up going to Taco Bell instead. Taco Bell is my favorite fast food, and you know what you’re getting there. It’s not like you’re going to order a fajita and get a grease and cheese slathered mess like at some (bad) Mexican places. I doubt Jessica opted for the “fresco” line at TB though. Those are my favorite and most fresco tacos are only 150 calories! Jessica will be counting those soon enough. These photos are of Jessica and her fiance, Eric Johnson, out in Santa Barbara with his parents on 1-28-12. They look so happy! Credit: DMac/FF3/FameFlynet Pictures

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt premiered ‘ITLOBAH’ in Paris: gorgeous or busted? Posted: 17 Feb 2012 05:43 AM PST I thought I could always count on Angelina Jolie to be the kind of woman who would never wear a gigantic rose on or around her boob. I was wrong. These are photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina at the Paris premiere of In the Land of Blood and Honey. Can I just say? I'm pleasantly surprised that this film is getting a gigantic roll-out in Europe. I wasn't expecting to see all of these Brangelina-red-carpet photos, and they always brighten my day a little. Anyway, Angelina is wearing Ralph & Russo. Ralph & Russo also did that grey-blue cashmere gown that she wore in Berlin a few nights ago – that one that made her boobs look good. I really liked that one. Not so much with this one. Is it just me or is that one sleeve a really weird length? It's not that I hate Angelina in white. Remember that white/cream Versace she wore to the premiere of The Tourist? I loved that. I wish she would wear that silhouette more often – long-sleeved, deep V-neck with a wrap effect. It's super-flattering. Part of the reason I dislike this gown is that grey-black ombre effect around the one shoulder. I just… it doesn't look good, I don't think. I'm just not loving this. As for Brad… I’ve grown to hate those tinted glasses. Passionately. Also – Angelina has a new interview in The Guardian where she’s discussing the threats that have made against her and the cast because of In the Land of Blood and Honey – go here to read it.

Enquirer: Salma Hayek hates Sofia Vergara, thinks Sofia’s thick accent is a “gimmick” Posted: 17 Feb 2012 05:39 AM PST In a battle between Salma Hayek and Sofia Vergara, who would put money on? Salma's fiesty, of course, and I would imagine that she's much tougher than she looks. But Sofia's got her on height, and I believe Sofia's probably in better shape, and stronger overall. So… I'd put my money on Sofia. Colombia for the win, y'all. I bring up this potentially hot and spicy catfight because The Enquirer claims it's on. Their sources say Salma Hayek is seriously pissed off that Sofia Vergara has dethroned her as Hollywood's go-to Latina bombshell. Hahaha. Salma Hayek has a message for rival bombshell Sofia Vergara: Stay out of my way! Salma is fuming that she's been dethroned as Hollywood's hottest Latina actress – and she's fed up that Sofia is "stealing" all her acting roles, a source tells The Enquirer. "Salma hates Sofia's thick, put-on gimmick of a Spanish accent and broken English," the source revealed. "She says it's not only getting old, but it's demeaning and disrespectful to the Latin community. Salma would never disrespect Sofia in public, but everyone close to her knows how she really feels." Unfortunately, Salma can't seem to escape Sofia. "Sofia is everywhere!" said the source. "She's in tons of magazine spots, TV commercials and now films. It's Sofia overload – and it's driving Salma crazy." "Hollywood actresses are competitive enough as it is, but Salma feels absolutely blindsided by Sofia's popularity," continued the source. "She had no close that this young upstart would become a huge sensation in the US." [From The Enquirer, print edition] This is the part I believe – "Salma hates Sofia's thick, put-on gimmick of a Spanish accent and broken English. She says it's not only getting old, but it's demeaning and disrespectful to the Latin community." I can actually hear Salma saying something like that, so maybe this story is based in reality. Salma views herself as queen bee of Latina actresses, I think, and I could see her having an opinion of Sofia's accent. However, Salma is married to a man with more money than God, and she has her pick of all of the designer clothes she wants, and she's still a working actress. And Salma's still stacked like a brick sh-thouse too, so it's not like Sofia could even claim, "I have the better body!" They both are ridiculously beautiful women. I just happen to like Sofia more, though. So I'm choosing sides… Team Vergara. Photos courtesy of WENN.

Christina Aguilera is reportedly a “bloated” diva disaster on ‘The Voice’ Posted: 17 Feb 2012 04:46 AM PST Just to be upfront, I'd like to admit that I've never seen The Voice. Not even a few minutes of it. I actively avoid it when it's on. So I have no idea if Christina Aguilera is a trainwreck on the show, or if she's really sweet and cute, or whatever. I'm just basing my opinion of Christina on her more tabloid-y persona, the public appearances in full-blown drag queen makeup, sauced out of her mind, and her general state of disarray. There's enough anecdotal (and ACTUAL) evidence to suggest that Christina has some serious boozing problems, and her last public appearance (not related to The Voice) was at Etta James' funeral, where Christina hiked up her bolt-ons and peed on herself (we hope it was pee). So here's another story about Christina being a mess – "sources" inside The Voice say Christina is costing the show tons of money because she's so unprepared, she doesn't take care of herself, and she acts like the biggest diva in the world: They say it takes a village to raise a child. But that's nothing, it seems, compared to the manpower required to get Christina Aguilera ready for a close-up on the set of The Voice! Christina hasn't eased up on the partying at all – and it's made her a nightmare to work with, a Voice insider reveals. "She's even shown up on set looking bloated and hungover," the insider complains, adding that instead of being apologetic, the diva-ish star expects wardrobe and makeup staffers to transform her into her old self. "It takes a lot of work to get her camera-ready," the insider sighs. Indeed, it's gotten so bad that frustrated producers are considering giving Christina a curfew on the nights before tapings. And it's not just her appearance that needs help. Christina occasionally seems distracted while filming, to the point where producers have to feed her lines. "They want her to look credible," the insider explains. One might expect Christina to be thankful for the second shot at success she's been afforded by The Voice, especially after her last album, Bionic, tanked. But she seems to believe the show is lucky to have her! Rather than follow a strict diet and exercise regimen, a source says Christina has forced producers to waste time and money devising schemes to make her look like less of a mess, says a source. And they may be losing patience with her. "She's a disaster," the insider says. "They have to work hard to keep her on track." [From In Touch Weekly, print edition] Here's the thing – over the past few weeks, there have been several tabloid stories all in a similar vein – Christina is a mess, producers are pissed off, her costars Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green have had enough. There have been some denials, but I tend to think The Voice's staffers are leaking like crazy. How long before we get grainy photos or some budget video of Christina having some kind of drunken hissy fit on set? I would pity The Voice's producers, but they didn't have to sign Christina for another year. They knew what they were getting. Photos courtesy of WENN & Christina's Twitter feed.

Britney Spears is reportedly acting weird again: “She was sweet – but just an idiot.” Posted: 17 Feb 2012 04:45 AM PST Here are some more photos of Britney Spears last Saturday, at Clive Davis's pre-Grammy party. This was (maybe) before everyone found out that Whitney Houston had died. Many of you thought that Britney looked like hell for this public appearance – I claimed she looked okay… you know, just because I was trying to be nice. Her body looks okay. Her hair isn't busted. But she looked really tired and kind of out-of-it. Which is worrying – Britney's conservatorship is scheduled to end when she marries Jason Trawick. Is she marrying a man she loves or a caretaker who will look out for her? Or a little of both? Anyway, Star Magazine has a story this week about some old-school Brit-Brit going down… this time with less head-shavin'. Britney Spears has gotten her act together since her infamous breakdown years ago – but it seems the singer may still have a hint of crazy in her! Britney was acting wacky when she recently stopped in for a manicure and a neck massage at the Hands On Boutique Spa in Beverly Hills, an insider tells Star. "Her eyes were completely glassy, and she was acting very lethargic," the source says. "After her massage was over, Britney was asked if she wanted to add another 15 minutes. She looked at the masseuse with a confused look on her face and asked, 'What does that mean?' She didn't seem to understand. The employees were saying, 'Wow, what's with her?'" After pampering, Britney stood up to leave and dropped a bunch of change on the floor. But she didn't even bother to pick it up! "Maybe that was supposed to be the tip," the source says. "Because she sure as hell didn't give one! She was sweet – but just an idiot." [From Star Magazine, print edition] I don't know what's emotionally or chemically wrong with Britney. I'm not saying that in a judgy way, I'm saying that in a "I don't know what kind of medication she's on, so I'm not sure what to say" way. It seems like some of these accounts of Britney acting out of it are really stories about her medication being messed up, though. She seems out-of-it and lethargic, not even really grasping her surroundings. It sounds like she might be on some heavy-duty anti-psychotic, perhaps? That's what I always think when I hear these stories – her doctors need to keep a closer eye on her dosages. As for Britney being an “idiot”… that’s not the word I’d use to describe someone who was glassy-eyed and acting lethargic. That being said, Brit was never the brightest bulb. Somebody just hand her a hawt derg and a frap, and she'll be okay. Photos courtesy of WENN.

Connor Cruise, post-”gay ass” tweet incident, is deejaying at a gay bar Posted: 17 Feb 2012 04:36 AM PST Last week, we heard about the weird situation involving Connor Cruise and one of representatives, a man named Todd Krim. Connor was a Patriots fan, and when the Pats lost, Krim tweeted Connor, teasing him about his team's loss. Connor reacted by tweeting back about Krim's "gay ass" tweets. Krim was offended, and he and Connor have parted professional ways. By the time the story came out, Connor had already issued an apology through another rep. Many of you thought it was just Connor being a dumb teenager – he's only 17, after all. But he's a public figure, and he wants to be a public figure, using his dad's connections to become a deejay who commands thousands of dollars per gig. Well, Connor is now using his deejaying prowess (??) for good, and to make amends. We were sent a promotional email which I just wanted to post in its entirety: Recently you posted an article of Connor Cruise, son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and the “gay” twitter incident over Super Bowl sunday. In light of that event, i wanted to bring to your attention that Connor has been set to DJ at the 11th annual oscar viewing party for Aids Project Los Angeles (APLA) since before the twitter reports surfaced. He will be the DJ at The Abbey also know as “The best gay bar in the world”. [Press release via email] It’s interesting that this promotional email directly references the “gay ass” tweet story yet at the same time they claim that Connor was signed on for the gig before the thing went down. And I should note – this was likely sent by the organizers or PR firm promoting the event, not by Connor’s people (as far as we know.) The message – to me – seems to be that Connor can't be a casual homophobe because he had already signed on to DJ an event for the Aids Project Los Angeles event? Sure. I'll believe that Connor had this gig before the Twitter thing too. It is good that even though he has the language of many dumb teenagers, he’s still taking a gig at "the best gay bar in the world." Maybe his heart really is in the right place. I just hope he doesn’t accidentally say anything about someone's "gay ass". Photos courtesy of WENN.

George Clooney talks about his profound loneliness, all for his Oscar campaign Posted: 17 Feb 2012 04:35 AM PST George Clooney covers the new issue of The Hollywood Reporter, and dear God, this man can TALK. He wants the Oscar so badly – does his blatant desire make you like him more or less? This bitch of an article is NINE PAGES. You can read the whole thing here – I'm going to try to do some highlights below: George watches TV: He watches ESPN and Modern Family as well as everything from The Soup to Jersey Shore. He is in bed by 10 p.m. almost every evening, wakes multiple times a night and loathes going to bed without the TV on. “Turning off the television causes me to think, and once I start that vision roaring, I have a very tough time getting to sleep,” he admits. With the flickering screen, “I’m able to numb out.” Even then, “Without question, I wake every night five times.” He drinks too much sometimes: “I drink at times too much. I do enjoy drinking, and there have been times in my life when it’s crossed the line from being fun to having to drink late at night for absolutely no reason. So what I do is, I stop. I haven’t had a drink since New Year’s Eve.” Clooney's not about the money: The combined budgets of his two current movies are a fraction of Batman’s and about the equivalent of most superstars’ fees — $12 million for Ides and $20 million for Descendants. Clooney took a humble $300,000 upfront for the latter. It’s one of his more intriguing aspects that he has remained so powerful and prominent in our imagination without bigger hits or taking more than scale — at most a few hundred thousand dollars, backend excluded — since the $10 million he received for 2000′s The Perfect Storm. He is singularly unmotivated by money, though time and again he returns to the theme, expressing an awareness that, if necessary, he will sell one of his homes. (He puts nothing in the stock market, which he describes as “Vegas, without the fun.”) Clooney the writer: “I woke and sat down and wrote the whole scene in the kitchen between Ryan [Gosling] and myself: ‘You want to be president. … You can start a war, you can lie, you can cheat, you can bankrupt the country, but you can’t f– the interns.’ ” He personally attended the 2010 American Film Market — that annual November gathering in Santa Monica where buyers and sellers haggle over rights — just to raise money for the film, then gave away his share of profits to get it made. “[Co-writer] Grant Heslov and I sat there for a day and a half, and they’d bring in 12 people from Japan, from the Netherlands, and I would pitch them the whole movie, and then the next group would come in,” he says with a laugh. “I was an encyclopedia salesman!” How he lives, and THR brings up the Clooney Dilemma: Clooney’s house, bought for $980,000 back in 1995 with ER paychecks (hardly chump change, but not the kind of price that proclaims movie-star excess), looks as if it could belong to any normal man who happened to make some money, apart from its subtle and discreet taste. There are no Oscars, Emmys or other awards visible in public places, no servants bustling in hushed tones — just his personal assistant of many years, Angel, and a black cocker spaniel named Einstein that Clooney adopted from a local shelter. A few days earlier, Einstein ate all the loose cash left out by Clooney’s present girlfriend, Stacy Keibler of Dancing With the Stars (a former professional wrestler). The women who pass in and out of his life, few lasting longer than two or three years, have been the source of endless Internet speculation, likely because they rarely appear to be his professional or intellectual equals, and range from waitresses to models to an Italian starlet. His relationship with Keibler, and marriage: He won’t go into his relationship with Keibler because “there is so little in my life that is private,” but he does admit that this man who once won a bet with Michelle Pfeiffer that he wouldn’t be married again by 40 hasn’t ruled it out. Divorced from actress Talia Balsam, he has in the past rejected the idea; now he argues, “I don’t even think about it, really.” On Brad Pitt: “Brad is one of the great guys,” he says. “We’re good friends, but it’s different from what people think, meaning we don’t spend a lot of time together. He has been to my home in Como; we motorcycle together. But until recently, I hadn’t seen Brad in a year.” Lonely Boy: “Anyone would be lying if they said they didn’t get lonely at times,” he says. “The loneliest you will get is in the most public of arenas: You will go to a place and end up in the smallest compartment possible, because it’s a distraction to everybody, and you end up not getting to enjoy it like everyone else.” He adds, “I have been infinitely more alone in a bad relationship; there’s nothing more isolating. I have been in places in my life where that has existed.” He also has been cheated on and even ditched “and left for someone; all those things. And it was sometimes a surprise, and sometimes you saw it coming. The most painful was when I kept trying to get [one woman] back. But we all make dumb mistakes.” A Brad Pitt story: “A couple of years ago, [Brad Pitt] really nailed me. He did one of those shows and they asked him when he was going to marry Angie, and he said, ‘I’ll marry when George can legally marry [a man].’ ” He laughs. “He really got me badly, something I have had to deal with the past few years. But I could give a shit. I have to live in the world that I care about and that’s all that matters.” Criticizing the Iraq War: “They did a half-hour show on Fox saying my career was over, and there was a cover of one of those magazines with the word ‘traitor’ written on it, and the White House was passing out a deck of weasels and I was on one of the cards,” he recalls. After initial anger, there was a brief moment when he felt afraid. “I called my dad and said, ‘Am I in trouble?’ And he said, ‘Grow up. You’ve got money. You’ve got a job. You can’t demand freedom of speech and then say, “But don’t say bad things about me.” ‘ And he was right.” Bell's palsy: At 14, a pivotal age for anyone, disaster struck in the form of Bell’s palsy, a kind of paralysis whose cause is unknown that leads to dysfunction in the facial nerves. Clooney has made light of the matter, but it lasted far longer than most of his friends realize. “As I started high school, half my face was paralyzed for six months,” he says. “That’s a long, long time. You wake up one morning and your tongue is numb, and you can’t drink. Milk starts pouring out of the side of your face. You don’t know when it’s going to end; you don’t know if it is going to end. And there’s no treatment.” He's tried coke: He drank, partied and even sampled cocaine, though he says, “I didn’t have an issue with it. I’m not a big druggie, not at all. Blow is absolutely a nonstarter.” On his Three Kings director David O. Russell: “I saw David [O. Russell, the director with whom Clooney had a famous falling-out] a few weeks ago at a party. There was a bunch of filmmakers there. And I felt compelled to go over and go, ‘So are we done?’ And he goes, ‘Please.’ And I said, ‘OK.’ Because we made a really, really great film, and we had a really rough time together, but it’s a case of both of us getting older. I really do appreciate the work he continues to do, and I think he appreciates what I’m trying to do.” [From The Hollywood Reporter] You won't even believe how much I had to cut out. Seriously. This man can TALK. He talks a lot about his childhood, about his back injury and dealing with years of pain (which he's still dealing with). He talks about his friends and the lean years of Hollywood and all of that. Most of it you've heard before, because Clooney says the same stuff over and over. But it's a decent read. He seemed really vulnerable in this piece, honestly. I do kind of feel bad for him. Poor Lonely Boy. Photos courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, WENN.
