He’s a seasoned world traveler, and earlier today (October 14) George Clooney was spotted leaving his swanky London, England hotel.
The “Michael Clayton” stud looked handsome as he strolled past the paparazzi, sporting a grey suit with a striped button-up shirt and black shoes.
Last night (October 13), George made sure to catch the “Fantastic Mr. Fox” press conference and photocall at the Dorchester Hotel.
Clooney mingled with the likes of director Wes Anderson and other industry bigwigs as he enjoyed The Times BFI London Film Festival.

He’s long been a fan of the boot-shaped country, and earlier today (October 7) George Clooney was spotted hard at work on his new film “The American” in Abruzzo, Italy.
The “Ocean’s Eleven” stud looked to be enjoying himself as he filmed scenes in a local street market, laughing and chatting with cast and crew in between scenes.
Back home in the States, the Kentucky State Government chose to honor Clooney with an award from the governor yesterday.
George’s parents Nick and Nina accepted the award on behalf of their son. He was given the 2009 National Award in the Arts.

Looking a long way from his normal romantic lead, George Clooney toted a rifle as filming got underway on the movie “The American” in Italy on Sunday (October 4).
Directed by Anton Corbijn, the thriller stars Clooney as a hitman hiding in a small Italian village whilst waiting to finish his final mission.
Meanwhile, it was recently announced that George’s new flick “Up In The Air” will release on December 4th of this year.
The move was made to avoid a double-up at the box office with another one of his projects, “The Men Who Stare At Goats,” which hits theaters on November 6th.

These pictures are from a few days ago, but here you go. George Clooney allowed his new ?girlfriend? Elisabetta Canalis to walk the red carpet with him at the Venice premiere of Men Who Stare At Goats. Elisabetta is wearing a beautiful teal silk Roberto Cavalli dress, and looking very much like Cindy Crawford. She seemed to dominate the premiere, I think. All eyes were on her, and Clooney seemed to be ?presenting? her to the world. You know what?s funny? After Elisabetta showed up at this premiere, she hasn?t been seen since! She didn?t walk the red carpet for the Toronto premiere of Up In The Air, and there are only vague rumors of her being Toronto. Did Clooney lock her up somewhere? Hmm?
Elisabetta seems to be getting the ?thumbs up? from Matt Damon in a new People Magazine interview, so I suppose Clooney must have let her out of the Toronto dungeon for a short time. Matt said, ?She is a really, really wonderful woman?It’s nice to see my friend so happy.? Yeah? Matt?s seen it all before. He?s not holding his breath, waiting for Clooney to settle down. By the way, remember how Matt claims he started the latest round of ?Clooney?s gay!? rumors? I saw a short little clip on E! of Clooney on the red carpet saying that he planning something huge to get back at Matt. You know it?s going to be epic. I just hope no one dies.
Finally, we have George discussing his hatred for social networking sites - he said this at a press conference in Toronto: “I would rather have a rectal examination on live TV by a fellow with cold hands than have a Facebook page.” This isn?t so surprising - George is rather famously anti-technology (in his personal life). Last year he did an Esquire cover interview where he and the reporter basically sat around watching YouTube videos, like the one for ?2 Girls 1 Cup?. It was a funny interview - and I really like George?s line about Facebook.

Finished up with his Italian promotional duties, George Clooney was spotted leaving the Cipriani hotel via an awaiting boat in Venice on Wednesday (September 9).
Fresh off of a red carpet outing the previous day, the “Ocean’s 11” hunk was heading for the airport after participating in the 66th International Venice Film Festival alongside his lady, Elisabetta Canalis.
Meanwhile, it was just recently announced that Mr Clooney will be quite busy at the upcoming London Film Festival - as he stars in three of the movies on display.
Kicking things off on October 14 during the festival’s opening gala, George will see in the world premiere of “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” in which “he voices the title character in Wes Anderson’s animated adaptation of the Roald Dahl children’s story about a community of burrowing animals.”
Also showing “The Men Who Stare at Goats,” Clooney will lastly be attending the screening of Jason Reitman’s “Up in the Air,” in which he plays “a smooth management consultant.”

George Clooney is in Venice, promoting the premiere of Men Who Stare At Goats, also starring the gorgeous man-candy that is Ewan Mcgregor. The two did a photo call earlier today, and they both looked lovely. Ewan was wearing Chuck Taylors. Clooney was wearing Armani. Classic. After the photo call came the first press conference, and Clooney got some questions about his love life. He made a ?joke? about how he?s preparing to get married? to Goats director Grant Heslov. You?re not helping, Clooney.
Sorry, ladies, George Clooney says he’s getting hitched, and it isn’t to you.
At a press conference for the Venice premiere of his latest movie, Men Who Stare at Goats, Hollywood’s perpetual bachelor, 48, says that special person is … Goats director Grant Heslov.
“Grant and I are actually announcing our wedding while we are here,” Clooney joked Tuesday. “I don’t quite know how to answer that question, but I can read your mind again and I know what you’re thinking.”
Goats, which also stars Ewan Mcgregor, is a comedy about the CIA’s program for researching psychic powers. Clooney has been publicly seen on the arm of Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis, and arrived with her at the Venice Film Festival Monday.
But that knowledge didn’t stop a male reporter from stripping down to his boxer shorts and a necktie and blurting out to the star: “I’m gay, George. I want you, George! Come with me, George!”
Sometimes people take “a big chance,” Clooney responded, smiling. “Only it doesn’t really work.”
[From People]
I know a lot of people think George Clooney is totally gay. I get it, and I understand the case being made. Here?s the thing - I don?t agree. I?m pretty sure George is just a guy who likes his women dumb, young, lacking in ambition, beautiful, built and kinky. I don?t think George will ever look at a woman and see a partner, an equal, a friend. He will only see a broad who is or is not kinky, who is or is not worth his seduction time and effort. All that being said, George should ease up on the gay wedding jokes, because there are a lot of people who don?t think they?re jokes. Besides that, what is so inherently funny about gay people getting married? It doesn?t even work on the ?joke? level.

It could be a sex thing, for all we know. It seems George Clooney broke his hand a few weeks ago, and rumors have been swirling that it was all part of some kind of motorcycle accident in Switzerland, which is a really random story to float. Clooney?s spokesperson confirmed the broken hand to People Magazine, but the spokesperson corrects the record on how exactly the hand got damaged. The official reason is ?he shut the car door on his hand.? Mm-hm. My honest-to-God first thought when I saw the words ?George Clooney broken hand? were ?sex thing? Italian hookers? he likes it rough.? I thought these dirty, dirty thoughts because I?m a pervert. But so is Clooney. That?s why I?m not buying the ?car door? explanation. You know there was some filthy, pornographic, nasty, crazy orgy stuff going on in that house:
Good thing he wears a helmet! Now George Clooney just needs some sporty gloves to match as the handsome actor has broken his hand in a car accident of sorts, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.
According to European media reports, Clooney was riding his Harley Davidson around Lake Lugano, at the border of Italy and Switzerland, with current squeeze Elisabetta Canalis when the accident occurred a couple weeks ago. His rep, however, tells PEOPLE what really happened.
“There was an accident and he did break his hand,” Clooney’s rep Stan Rosenfield said Thursday. “He was not riding a motorcycle, it was not in Switzerland … He was on his property in Italy and he shut the car door on his hand.”
Clooney, 49, was treated at the private Ars Medica clinic in Gravesano, Switzerland, which is about a 40-minute drive from Lake Como, Italy, where Clooney owns a home. “The doctor has given him 30-40 years more to live, and no live animals were harmed during the wrapping of the hand,” Rosenfield quipped.
Nearly two years ago Clooney, 49, and his then-girlfriend Sarah Larson were both treated after the motorcycle they were riding collided with a car in New Jersey. At the time, the actor suffered a hairline fracture of a rib and road rash, while Larson suffered a broken foot.
[From People]
I applaud People?s recall of the incident with Sarah Larson. There?s something about those working girls that makes Clooney clumsy, isn?t there? New theory: Viagra is rotting his brain. It could happen. He?s popping the little blue pills to keep up with the young girl-women he prefers, and suddenly the blood flow isn?t going to his brain anymore. He becomes clumsier, more accident prone. It?s not the worst theory, you know?

George Clooney may have broken his hand, but his rep says it was not from his motorcycle!
Reports claimed that the actor was cruising on his Harley Davidson around Lake Lugano alongside Elisabetta Canalis when an accident happened. But Clooney’s rep is filling everyone in with the truth.
“There was an accident and he did break his hand,” Clooney’s rep Stan Rosenfield said Thursday. “He was not riding a motorcycle, it was not in Switzerland ... He was on his property in Italy and he shut the car door on his hand.”
The 49-year-old was treated at the private Ars Medica clinic in Switzerland. “The doctor has given him 30-40 more years to live, and no live animals were harmed during the wrapping of the hand,” his rep joked.
Almost two years ago, Clooney and then-girlfriend Sarah Larson were treated after a motorcycle accident where they collided with a car in New Jersey and suffered a hairline fracture of a rib and Larson broke her foot.

George Clooney hates the paparazzi for good reason. He was one of the first people to speak out against photographers and tabloids for their role in the accident that caused Princess Diana’s death in 1997. Clooney was boycotted for a while by some tabloids for that. He hasn’t harped on the paparazzi since, but he did explain in late 2007 that the paparazzi were committing illegal, dangerous acts in an attempt to provoke celebrities. He clearly stated that they he didn’t mind them taking photos, but that it went way beyond that and their actions were putting people’s lives in danger. “What they?re doing is illegal. It?s high-speed chases and they?re competing with each other. They?re not trying to catch me doing something stupid, they?re trying to create me doing something stupid.”
Clooney lives next to Britney Spears’ previous residence when he’s stateside, (where she had her breakdown in January, 2008) and he’s explained that he finds the paparazzi out of hand. They regularly camp out near his Lake Como, Italy estate, and he’s pulled some minor stunts to deter them - like reportedly installing an egg throwing machine and renting tables to fuel the rumor that Brad and Angelina were getting married.
Now the paparazzi have stepped way out of line, though. Someone breached his property in Italy and took pictures of a 13 year-old guest topless as she was changing inside his home. Some magazines reportedly published the pictures, and Clooney is understandably taking legal action:
George Clooney is gearing up for a legal war in Italy — claiming invasive paparazzi climbed over the wall of his Italian home and shot a topless photo of a 13-year-old girl changing in one of his guest rooms.
The photographer also took shots of Clooney and his girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis enjoying private moments in the yard of his estate.
The photos were published in two magazines — and in a statement to TMZ, Clooney says he’s gunning to sue both the mags and the photog who took the pictures.
“We’re suing two magazines AND a photographer. I don’t know about the law in the United States but in Italy it’s illegal for photographers to climb over my wall and to take long lens pictures of a 13-year-old girl in her bedroom.
I draw the line of privacy at that.”

That’s really disgusting that someone would think that’s ok. I haven’t seen these photos, but they’re probably far away and blurry. Maybe the photographers mistakenly believed they were pictures of Clooney’s girlfriend, not an underage guest. Matt Damon an Don Cheadle were at Clooney’s estate with their families last week. Don Cheadle has a daughter who is 13, Ayana, and he also has a 12 year-old, Imani, with his girlfriend of 12 years. Matt’s oldest daughter, stepdaughter Alexia, is 11 as far as I can tell. It’s likely one of Don’s daughters and she’s probably mortified.
Maybe this terrible breach of privacy will help Clooney shake off some of the paparazzi that are constantly stalking him. He does have some high profile celebrity friends visit him and you can understand the paparazzi’s motivation, but pictures shouldn’t be allowed on private property.
