It seemed like George Clooney and Stacy Keibler were much more subdued at the Screen Actors Guild Awards last night, especially compared to how they behaved at the Golden Globes. Last night, George didn?t let Stacy speak that much, thank God, and she didn?t get to do hardly any solo posing. Stacy has been put back on the leash after she overextended herself at the Globes. I wonder if George blames Stacy for his best Actor loss last night? I bet he does, to a certain extent. That being said, Clooney didn?t seem to be as aggressive in his Oscar campaign as he did at the Globes, either. He seemed subdued, almost tired. Maybe his back is bothering him? I don?t know. I liked his interview with Guiliana Rancic – he was really sweet to her, and he made a joke about dropping trou and ?getting his trou up? which actually made me laugh.
As for Stacy, she seemed content in her reined-in role. She wore this subdued Marchesa gown that I didn?t really care for – too lacy, too ?old Italian widow? for my tastes, although I appreciate that Stacy is going for a more demure look. She?s actively trying to look older, more conservative, more Oscar-voter-friendly. It also helps because George looks less like he?s escorting his daughter to an awards show? except it still looks like this. Stacy just looks like his young niece. Ol? Uncle George is sexually over-extended? but will that end up appealing to Oscar voters, many of them older white dudes who long to trade in their older models for a younger version like Stacy?
Also: I hated Stacy?s fly-away hair. Her hair issues are well-documented, and I really hope she goes for a simple up-do for the Oscars.

This is your Open Post for the 2012 Golden Globes, which come on in just a few short hours. Our host for the Open Post is everybody?s favorite, George Clooney. I don?t know if I?m even saying that ironically or not. Although I hate to admit it, Clooney is the frontrunner for Best Actor this year. I?m hoping Brad Pitt and Michael Fassbender come in for some late surges. If Clooney wins tonight and he gives another ?Daddy knows best, sweetheart, just shut your pretty mouth and listen to The Man tell you what?s happening? speeches, I?m going to be so disappointed in the world.
So what will happen tonight? What?s our drinking game? Take a shot every time Ryan Seacrest treats the red carpet like John Travolta?s spa? Chug every time Ricky Gervais elicit?s a mass groan rather than laughter? Swig every time the camera gratuitously pans to Brangelina? If Michael Fassbender walks the red carpet and there?s a full-Fassdong camera pan, I?m totally opening my bottle of wine.
We?ll have all of our post-Globes stories and fashion posts tomorrow, but for now, just enjoy the red carpet and the actual ceremony with some like-minded bitches. And remember, ladies: CLOONEY KNOWS BEST. Just shut your eyes, open your legs and let Clooney tell you what to think, sweetheart.

| | Critics Choice Fashion: Stacy Keibler & George Clooney, glamorous in Armani? | | Added 12 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

George Clooney was anointed by Hollywood last night at the Critics Choice Awards. At least, that?s how it went in George?s mind. Look? one of my problems with George is that although he and I share many of the same political views, I?m usually turned off by his political and general smugness. I feel like his speech about Haiti – not to mention his acceptance speech – turned into a ?Clooney Knows Best, Listen Up Women and Children, I?m Going To Tell You What You Should Think About Important Issues? lecture. Do I agree with what he says for the most part? Yep. I just find his attitude unbearable sometimes. Although?I did think it was sweet when George won and he went over to the Moneyball table and he and Brad Pitt kissed each other. Brad was really classy, and he gave George a standing ovation. Their bromance is sweet.
Anyway?George was there with Oscar-Date Barbie, of course. This is one of the first red carpets where Stacy has worn her hair down. I?m surprised by how cute she looks with a blowout! She should wear it down more often, it really softens her. It makes her look younger too – perhaps too young, because it really does seem like George is showing off his daughter, right?
Stacy?s dress is Armani – Armani loves George, and Armani always ends up dressing George?s girls. The fit of the dress is great, and I even like the little cowl neck, and the sparkly straps at the back. This is a solid look for Stacy, one of her best. Her makeup is even subdued! No drag queeny makeup for Oscar Date-Barbie.
The camera kept cutting to George?s table too, and Stacy always looked lively and happy. I saw her posing for photos with Viola Davis, which? I mean, Viola has better things to do. Stacy seems like an enthusiastic puppy, just happy to jump around and get attention. We’ll see, Stacy. We’ll see.

George Clooney took home the Best Actor Award at the National Board of Review Awards last night. And his Oscar-Date Barbie was at his side, of course. Stacy wore this Marchesa dress, which? what does THAT mean? Is she trying to get Harvey Weinstein?s eye? Does Stacy want to get into movies? Maybe she just liked the dress. Honestly, considering the kind of crap Marchesa usually puts out (ice skater fugness), this dress isn?t terrible. Stacy even looks kind of glamorous. Plus, her makeup improved here, especially since she was looking drag queeny in Palm Springs.
As for Clooney and what this award means, and his chances in the long-run for a Best Actor Oscar? I don?t know. The National Board of Review is one of the most prestigious of the critics? awards, and the fact that they?ve anointed Clooney definitely helps his chances. Clooney is also helping himself by hustling harder than I?ve seen him hustle in previous years – I don?t remember Clooney doing this many television, magazine and newspaper interviews in a LONG time. And while he?s being interviewed, he?s doing the awards season dance – oh, he doesn?t care about the awards, but yes, he?s going to hustle and campaign because why not and why don?t you love him and just vote for him anyway? Whatever. Team Pitt. I would love to see Brad win over Clooney. And I would love to see Michael Fassbender beat both of them.

Because celebrities work so hard reading words off pieces of paper, they need a vacation every month or so just to unwind. Eye strain is no joke! Hence, George Clooney and Stacy Keibler are in Cabo San Lucas, for the third time in the span of two months, riding around in golf carts and telling some poor Mexican to fetch them Perrier and a vodka tonic, post haste.

| | George Clooney covers Esquire: 'Democrats are terrible at selling' | | Added 12 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

George Clooney covers the January issue of Esquire Magazine, the theme of which is ?The Meaning of Life?. Ugh, dudes. It?s just a magazine! Anyway, Clooney is shilling The Descendants hard, of course, and George really, really wants another Oscar. So instead of sitting down with People Magazine to talk about his girlfriend (that comes a few weeks from now), George sits down with his dog, Einstein, and talks about ?the meaning of life.? The whole article is written in George?s ?voice? – you can read the whole thing here. I?ll try to do some highlights:
On politics: I get asked a lot about getting into politics. I say, “Take a look at politics. You tell me what seems appealing about that.”
Clooney on the Democratic Party?s biggest problem: ?If this were a Republican president and Republican government, the advisors around it would be selling this as the most successful three years of a presidency in years. They’d start by saying, “When my guy took office, we were losing four hundred thousand jobs a month. That would mean fourteen million less jobs if we continued along that pace. And it stopped immediately. We saved the auto industry. We passed a health-care bill that no one could pass” ? although Republicans wouldn’t have wanted that. “We killed Osama bin Laden.” You could go down the list of things that you could brag about. But Democrats are terrible at selling. So they’re just kind of apologizing, and everybody feels disillusioned.?
Clooney doesn?t play the stock market: I didn’t put money in the stock market. To me that’s like Vegas without the dancing girls ? none of the fun, no gambling or dancing or drinking ? and you don’t get to participate. So I paid off my house in cash when I could. It’s about having a foundation for when things go bad. I still have that mentality. When things go badly, I’ll have this piece of land I can sell first, and then I have this piece of land I can sell second. You always think that way.
He?s not a balls-out Method Actor: Somebody asked me, How can you relate to being a father? Well, I’m also not running for president, but I played that role in Ides of March. I wasn’t an actual lawyer when I did Michael Clayton, and I don’t fire people for a living like I did in Up in the Air. Go down the list. It’s just a job. An acting job is playing pretend. I’ve been a child of somebody’s. I’ve been an uncle. All my friends have kids. I’m around kids. I have an understanding of what it is. And I also have a really good script that informs me what is required of this father. Because, for the most part, the father I play in The Descendants doesn’t resemble any of the fathers that I know. I don’t have friends who have the kind of issues that this guy has. So a lot of it is just the information you get from the screenplay. There are Method actors that are really wonderful. I don’t bash anybody’s way of working because the results are the only thing that matter in this game. But for me, I don’t have to do heroin to play a heroin addict.
On money, and doing commercials overseas: Ides of March I did for scale ? scale as a director, scale as an actor, scale as a writer. And I don’t have any back end on it. So I’m not going to make any money after that. I enjoy living in a nice house and having a nice life. So I do two or three commercials overseas a year to sort of fill in, because they pay pretty well. The wedding one in Norway was great. I usually try to keep away from anything that would have to do with me personally. I always think the commercials should make fun of me, sort of as a personality, but I try to keep my personal life out of it. But they called and sent the script, and the idea was funny. This woman in Norway wakes up and she’s married to me. It makes a big difference when you’re working with the Carol Burnett of Norway. She’s great, and it turned out fantastic. That commercial in particular helped fund a satellite project that keeps an eye on the Sudanese border to try to hold these war criminals in check. The satellite project costs about a million and two a year. So I’m always looking for a gig like that.
On relationships and marriage: People forget that I was married. I love that, Will he get married? I don’t talk about it because I don’t think about it. I don’t ever question other peoples’ versions of how they live their lives or what they do. I understand that it’s a subject of interest for people. But sometimes it exists only because it came up years ago. It becomes this conversation piece that constantly resurfaces. Everybody sort of has their own versions of what they think I am and what they think that is. I’m just living my life and doing the best I can. The rest of those versions, there’s not much I can do about. No matter what I do, I’m somehow upsetting someone in some way or making somebody happy. I can only live my own life and my version of it. My life isn’t focused on results. My life is really focused on the process of doing all the things I’m doing, from work to relationships to friendships to charitable work. If I focused on results, if it’s only about the ultimate results, I’d be a failure in Sudan, I’d be a failure in film, I’d be a failure with my friendships, I’d be a failure in relationships. I look at it as an ongoing process.

I love that he talked about that awesome Norwegian commercial – go here to see it. He also talks a lot about politics and his humanitarian work, and he even talks about his dog. It was a decent piece, and the whole ?in Clooney?s own voice? angle worked really well for this particular piece. I get tired of most Esquire celebrity pieces that are just a lot of filler crap that no one cares about. Good read!

These are some photos of George Clooney and Stacy Keibler from two nights ago. They went out to dinner and the paparazzi swarmed on them as they left the restaurant. According to People Magazine, Clooney & Cray-Cray were doing a double-date with Clooney?s producing partner and an unknown female, and everybody was drinking cocktails except for Clooney, who was only drinking wine. People also notes that Clooney and Keibler were ?packing on the PDA? – he was rubbing Stacy?s leg and at one point, Stacy ran her fingers through his wiglet hair and a source claimed: ?He just laughed and put his head on the table.”
Meanwhile, Clooney is not only campaigning for the Best Actor Oscar, he?s also campaigning for Man of the People. In a recent interview, Clooney took actors to task for complaining about how hard their job is. This is Clooney at his best, honestly:
“I cut tobacco for a living in Kentucky. That was hard work,” Clooney told the Hollywood Reporter. “I sold insurance door-to-door. That’s hard work. Acting is not hard work. If you’re lucky enough to be sitting at a table like this, you’ve been very lucky in your life. You caught the brass ring somewhere along the way. I’ve known a tremendous number of talented actors who didn’t get opportunities. Is it hard work? It’s long hours, but nobody wants to hear you complain. I remember I was selling women’s shoes at a department store, which is a lousy job.”
Clooney said no actors should complain about their profession.
“I remember I would hear of famous stars complaining in Hollywood about how hard their life was ? I didn’t want to hear that,” he said. “So I don’t find it difficult. I find it challenging, and sometimes I’m very bad at it, but I don’t find it hard.”
[From The Telegraph]
This is Clooney?s subtle way of reminding Academy members of how long he toiled, unrecognized and unappreciated. He?s a man of the people, he remembers what it was like to be a struggling actor (and a struggling anything), and he doesn?t take it for granted. I like this side of Clooney, always and forever. I hate the side of him that hires bimbos to be his ?girlfriends? for Oscar campaigns, though. How can I reconcile those two Clooneys?

NOOoooooo. George Clooney and The Descendants just got a MAJOR boost for the awards season. So much for my one-woman campaign ?Say No To Oscar-Date Barbie?. Oscar-Date Barbie is going to be there! She?s going to be styled like Grace Kelly! She?s going to look smug and nervous and Clooney will look crotchety. It has been written.
So The National Board of Review released their awards list for this year. It does change up the expectations game somewhat – remember, Brad Pitt and Tree of Life got a boost from The New York Critics Circle Awards, announced earlier this week. Here?s the breakdown of the NBR awards:
Best Film: Hugo
Best Films of the Year (the shortlist): The Artist, The Descendants, Drive, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, The Ides of March, J. Edgar, Tree of Life and War Horse.
Best Actress: Tilda Swinton, We Need To Talk About Kevin
Best Actor: George Clooney, The Descendants
Best Supporting Actress: Shailene Woodley, The Descendants
Best Supporting Actor: Christopher Plummer, Beginners
Best adapted screenplay: Alexander Payne, Nat Faxon and Jim Rash’s script, The Descendants
Best original screenplay: Will Reiser, 50/50
Best Ensemble: The cast of The Help
Spotlight Award: Michael Fassbender, for all of his roles this year
Breakthrough Awards: Felicity Jones in Like Crazy and Rooney Mara in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
Yay for Tilda Swinton! I?ve been thinking that she would get an Oscar nomination for Kevin, and this gives her a nice boost. It also kind of sucks for Viola Davis, who likely hoped to glide through the season with all of the big accolades. Also YAY for Michael Fassbender. I wonder if Fassbender and Clooney will hang out during the awards season? I hope not. But it will probably happen – Fassbender loves a good party. Let?s get back to Clooney – does the NBR mean that Clooney?s a shoo-in for Best Actor? Not really. It means that he?s pretty much guaranteed a nomination, but there?s still a lot of campaigning to do.
One last thing: is Christopher Plummer the shoo-in for Best Supporting? Beginners came out of nowhere! Plummer might be a good position to get a ?career? Oscar.

George Clooney took his girlfriend Stacy Keibler down to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for the long Thanksgiving holiday. These Mexico jaunts are becoming a regular thing for Clooney – he spent last Christmas in Cabo with Elisabetta Canalis and some friends. Well, some of Clooney?s friends joined him on this trip too – notably, Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber and Alex Rodriguez. You can even see A-Rod in some of these photos – he?s facing George and Stacy. I feel like Alex was probably eyeing Stacy as a potential addition to his Gladiator Bikini Parties, where the buffest, burliest girl wins the chance to ride Alex?s jock for a night. Ew? I grossed myself out on that one.
Should we talk about Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber? They always travel to spend time with George and his girlfriend of the moment. Do you think Cindy ever gets tired of trying to make conversation with them? Do you think the girlfriends ever get jealous of Cindy? Because, just my opinion, George has always been in love with Cindy and he chooses girls that resemble her to varying degrees. It feels like it would be awkward, and yet Cindy and Rande turn up at all of George?s holidays.
I have another question: why is Clooney not spending his vacation time in Italy? He owns that beautiful villa, you?d think he?d want to spend more time there. I have a theory – something about Clooney wanting to be kind to Elisabetta Canalis, and he?s not going to bring any new girlfriends to Italy for a while. Plus, I think Clooney is just trying to dodge an Italian subpoena to appear in one of Silvio Berlosconi?s trials. At this point, can?t we just admit that Elisabetta was one of Berlosconi?s girls? She is exactly his type, and I suspect Elisabetta was a favorite for those bunga-bunga parties.
PS? I still can?t get enough of Clooney pointing at Stacy?s biscuits and making faces.

| | George Clooney on Stacy Keibler: 'she's very tall' She can kick my ass' | | Added 13 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

I?m so glad that so many of you thought Stacy Keibler had (new) implants in yesterday?s post! CB and I were arguing about it, and I thought I was imagining those dents in the sides of her breasts. Chica totally got a boob job, and they look relatively new. Did Uncle Clooney buy her some new boobs? If he did, Cray-Cray should be terribly afraid. He usually only buys ?em new boobs when he?s about to dump ?em. Incidentally, Stacy Keibler was photographed leaving Clooney?s place solo (photos at the end of the post), and heading to LAX, where she caught a flight by herself. Did Clooney banish her?!? That would be hilarious, but doubtful. She?s Oscar Barbie! She?s all prepared to be his official Oscar-Date Barbie for all of the upcoming events. She?s contractually booked through March, I bet.
Anyway, you know what a kinky bastard Clooney is, right? Yeah. Well, he could barely contain himself as he described how Stacy could ?kick his ass? and how she can easily ?take him down?. Oh, Clooney.
If George Clooney and girlfriend Stacy Keibler ever get into a serious argument, the actor may have to watch his back.
“She’s very tall,” Clooney, 50, told E! News at The Descendants premiere in Los Angeles Tuesday night, when asked about his date. “She can kick my ass.”
Adding that the WWE star, 32, can also knock him down in a wrestling match, Clooney says, “She can take me two out of three falls.”
But luckily, Keibler is also a “nice girl,” according to Clooney. “She really is.”
[From People]
?And she gets some rope,? Clooney said, hitching up his pants and smirking. ?She gets his rope and I?m like, ?Baby, I don?t use rope, I use scarves.? And she?s like, ?We?re using the rope tonight, bitch.? And then she tackled me. Man, this girl. She?s really something, I tell ya. So anyway, our safe word is ?rutabaga? and she had this rope and she began tightening it around my??
?And then the poor People Magazine correspondent was like, ?Seriously, I?ve got enough, sir. Enjoy the premiere!? And the correspondent walked off the red carpet, his hands still shaking.
