Two weekends ago, Mark Wahlberg finally married Rhea Durham, the mother of his three children. Personally, I think Rhea deserved some kind of award for putting up with his crap for so many years, but she still stuck around until she got the ring, so whatever. The wedding was held at a Catholic church in Beverly Hills, and Rhea wore Marchesa. It was all very lovely. But, according to the National Enquirer, there was something not-so-lovely about one of the wedding gifts the couple received.
The gift came from Mark?s Three Kings costar and friend, George Clooney. Guess what Clooney sent? Scented candles? A serving platter? A toaster? Not so much. According to the Enquirer, it was a package including ?a ball and chain; handcuffs; a straightjacket inscribed with his name; and a photo of Marky Mark peering forlornly through jalihouse bars.? Ah? funny?
To his closest pals, prankster George Clooney will forever be ?George Clown-ey? for wacky stunts like? sending buddy Mark Wahlberg a wedding gift that arrived just before his ?I do? to new bride Rhea Durham - who definitely did NOT echo Almost Hubby?s delighted belly-laugh when he opened the box and found: a ball and chain; handcuffs; a straightjacket inscribed with his name; and a photo of Marky Mark peering forlornly through jalihouse bars.
Clown-ey ships the same hilarious gift to pals preparing to walk The Last Mile? er, I mean walk down the aisle.

I think what disturbs me most of all is the idea that Clooney sends this ?prank? wedding gift to all of his soon-to-be hitched friends. Where is that line between ?prank? and ?really rude?? You know what this reminds me of? Mad Men. Granted, I have Mad Men on the brain (it premieres THIS SUNDAY!!!), but I think the reference is apt. It?s that sort of retro, outdated, misogynistic ?marriage is bondage for men? idea. Granted, for some men, marriage is bondage. But it?s bondage for a lot of women too! And why shouldn?t Mark marry Rhea, if that?s what she wanted? For goodness sake. Sometimes I just hate Clooney.

George Clooney?s saving grace is that he?s not just all about bimbos and getting liquored up. He?s also about politics and international advocacy work, and he actually makes an effort to stay well-informed. George formed Not On Our Watch in 2006 with Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, Matt Damon and others as a way to funnel money to victims of genocide, as well as political and non-profit groups advocating on the behalf of victims. Clooney?s been to Darfur several times, and he?s raised millions of dollars for the cause. But it seems Clooney?s got his eye on another cause.
The Press Association is reporting that Clooney has joined British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Daniel Craig, David Beckham and Eddie Izzard in sending messages of support to imprisoned Burmese leader and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi for her 64th birthday. An advocacy website, 64forSuu.org is even going public.
Celebrities including George Clooney and David Beckham have joined Prime Minister Gordon Brown in preparing messages of support for Burma’s opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Famous faces were asked to write 64-word messages of support for the political figure, which will be delivered on her 64th birthday on June 19.
She has been held under house arrest for 13 of the past 19 years, and currently stands accused of breaking the terms of her confinement.
The launch of the website 64forSuu.org is timed to coincide with the date her imprisonment should have stopped.
It features a range of messages including one from Gordon Brown which reads: “I add my voice to the growing chorus of those demanding your release. For too long the world has failed to act in the face of this intolerable injustice. That is now changing.?
“The clamour for your release is growing across Europe, Asia, and the entire world. We must do all we can to make this Birthday the last you spend without your freedom.”
Stephen Fry, Eddie Izzard, Kevin Spacey and Sarah Brown will also submit Twitter entries to the site.
Various celebrities including Clooney, Beckham and James Bond actor Daniel Craig have signed a message from campaign group Not on Our Watch.
It says: “Nineteen years ago, the Burmese people chose Aung San Suu Kyi as their next leader. For most of those 19 years she has been kept under house arrest by the military junta that runs the country. We must not stand by as she is silenced again. Now is the time for the international community to speak with one voice: Free Aung San Suu Kyi.”
Supporters of the campaign can upload video, text or pictures, or twitter messages of support on the site.
[From The Press Association]
Suu Kyi is one of the most well-known current advocates of non-violent protest and democratic revolution in the world. Suu Kyi won the 1990 election to be Burma?s Prime Minister, despite being jailed since 1989 by the reigning military junta. Her non-violent stance is taken from both the teaching of Mohandas Gandhi and the tenets of Buddhism. Her political views, and the twenty years she has spent in prison or under house arrest has won her the support of everyone from celebrities to Pope John Paul.
In other Clooney political news, he?s chimed in about the California Supreme Court?s ruling on Proposition 8, where the court upheld the ?will of the people?, yet allowed the thousands of gay marriages (pre-Prop to stand. Clooney told E! News: ?This just should invigorate people to get it back on the ballot in 2010 and 2012 and every two years until all people are allowed a basic civil right.? Sounds like Clooney?s taking the long view - which is probably better. Better a slow burn than a quick flame.

One of the best parts about not being in college is that I can totally hold my liquor. Something magical happened when I graduated - I stopped drinking to excess. The last time I got really, really soused was New Year?s Eve, and I had the hellish hangover to prove it. I?d like to believe that excess is part of youth, that as we get older we learn more and more about what our bodies can take. And I hope that when I?m George Clooney?s age, I?m certainly not out there picking people up in bars while getting falling-down drunk.
Perhaps I should give Clooney an easy time. Last week he was out and about, getting hammered in Miami. According to Radar Online, Clooney ?took a little me-time Thursday, downing tequila shooters at a Miami’s Quattro restaurant with a pair of young, comely beauties. The Oscar winner left in a car with at least one of them. Perhaps to discuss foreign policy with her?? To be fair, he might have been celebrating his birthday with tequila shots and voluptuous bimbos (since he does have a type, after all). And what, perchance, is The Most Eligible Bachelor?s age? Forty-eight. Forty-eight years old and he can?t hold his liquor, according to the National Enquirer. Tsk, tsk.
George Clooney parties hearty — AND the inevitable aftermath!
Although George turned 48 last week the A-lister can still down booze like nobody’s business.
After spending the hot Miami day filming new flick Up in the Air, George was spotted heading for the Blade nightclub at the fabled Fountainebleau hotel through a series of underground conduits.
“He was drinking vodka and Patron, but it looked like he’d had enough,” a source said.
Later, eyewitnesses said they saw a stumbly, had too-much “George throw up in the VIP area” at LIV nightclub.
LIV and let puke?

Doesn?t it seem like Clooney is becoming that guy? That middle-aged guy that sits at the bar during Happy Hour, trying to buy drinks for the college girls? That guy who stares just a little bit too long? That creepy ?uncle? that talks about how you?ve ?blossomed?? Not that I wouldn?t hit it. I mean, he is George Clooney after all. Creepy or not, he?s still the 21st century Cary Grant. Did Cary Grant ever have a creepy moment?
Here?s George filming scenes of his upcoming movie “Up in the Air” in Miami on Monday. Images thanks to BauerGriffinOnline.

Brad and George at the Venice Film Festival last year on 8/27/08. Credit: PRPhotos
The Cannes Film Festival opened up Wednesday evening, and now many people are counting down the hours until a couple of things happen: first, that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie walk the Cannes red carpet so we can analyze every detail of their body language to see if they are in fact broken up because Brad?s drinking and calling up Jennifer Aniston, who is fighting with Courteney Cox, and secondly, that we get to hear about Quentin Tarantino?s Inglourious Basterds. To promote the film during the festival, promoters have papered Cannes with posters of Brad Pitt, dressed in his World War II soldier?s costume, with the words ?Brad Pitt is a Basterd? plastered above the image. Classic:
Brad Pitt is a Basterd. That may or may not be the case, I’m only quoting one of the banner drop-down posters draped over the Carlton Hotel in Cannes.
The Brad Pitt is a Basterd is part of the lavish promotion for Quentin Tarantino’s much anticipated Inglourious Basterds.
His leading lady Diane Kruger is also, rather impolitely in my view, hailed as a basterd.
The thing about Cannes is that these billboards are designed to grab our attention. In previous years I’ve found some of the clever marketing for movies more fun than the pictures being advertised, which is a little sad.
But we will know by the middle of next week whether Tarantino’s Basterds are worth screaming about. I hope so.
[From The Daily Mail]
I really can?t wait to see Inglourious Basterds, more for Tarantino than Brad, because I like both. Alas, the film doesn?t come out in America until August.
In other Jolie-Pitt news, I?ve got one more story: I think People Magazine totally copied an article verbatim from OK! Magazine. Last month, we reported on this funny little story from OK! about how all of the mothers in Long Island were dressing up for Brad Pitt sightings. It was funny and cute, and many people enjoyed it. Wednesday afternoon of this week, People put up an article almost exactly like the OK! piece from last month. It?s the weirdest thing, check out the links to compare. The only new information in the People article is that George Clooney came for a visit and freaked everyone out. People claims, ?Brad recently had lunch with pal George Clooney at the Breakers restaurant in Bayville, N.Y. [A local source says:] ?I heard a woman screaming at Stop & Shop because the clerk was telling her George Clooney was at the Breakers… It startled me because she shrieked so loud. Then, a few women said they were going to go down there and see if they could run into Clooney.?? So, basically, Brad Pitt sightings get women dressing up in pearls and heels, while a George Clooney makes grown women start shrieking like it’s 1964 and they just saw Ringo Starr. Clooney and Pitt have very interesting fan bases.

George Clooney, while in Miami filming Up in the Air, hit up Blade nightclub at the Fontainebleau through a secret underground passage. Sources say he was “drinking vodka and Patron, but it looked like he had enough.” They allege that Clooney, at the resort’s other nightclub LIV, vomited in the VIP area.
Clooney told Gatecrasher that he was sitting next to someone who barfed. Welp. That clears everything up. Why would Clooney lie? His handsomeness and gentlemanly ways prevent him from doing so. Plus, he’s an actor. Actors don’t deal in deception like us normal folk.

The news from this interview Megan Fox did with USA Today?s Weekend Magazine has been coming out in drips and drabs, but now they finally put out the full interview. As it turns out, Megan sat down with Seth Rogen, and the two were interviewed together. They play off of each other nicely, and it wouldn?t be the worst idea for the two of them to star in some kind of buddy comedy (hint, Hollywood producers). This is the same interview where Megan says she isn?t trying to take Cate Blanchett down - but Cate isn?t the only celebrity Megan and Seth are talking about.
Megan and Seth were also asked ?If you were the opposite sex but had the same gifts and qualities, how would things be different?? That?s an interesting question, and Seth answers honestly, basically saying it?s okay to be funny-looking if you?re a guy, but not so much for women. Megan seems to think that the question was basically ?If you could be any guy, who would it be?? She seems to answer ?George Clooney?. Ah, wise choice.
They may love comic books and crude jokes and share a spot on new Hollywood’s hot list, but Megan Fox and Seth Rogen never got acquainted until USA WEEKEND Magazine brought them together in L.A. for this in-depth interview.
At 27, Rogen has written, produced or starred in 600 trillion movies (”around that, yeah”), including “Knocked Up” and “Observe and Report.” In summer’s “Funny People,” he plays a writer for a famous comedian. These days, Rogen looks relatively fit and groomed. But he’s quick to joke that he’s still a pothead.
Fox, on the other hand, is just smokin’. The model turned actress was “thrust into the limelight” in 2007 with “Transformers” and now is compared to a young Angelina. But as Fox, 22, is eager to prove in June’s sequel, “Revenge of the Fallen,” and future films, there is more to her than meets the eye.
Seated side by side at a cozy table after their photo shoot, the stars hit it off.
Before landing high-profile movies and magazine covers, you were both TV sitcom sidekicks. Did you ever doubt you’d wind up where you are now?
Seth: Yes! I doubt I’m even at that point.
Megan: I agree. I started acting as a way to make money and avoid college. I sort of fell into it having no idea what I was doing … in “Transformers” as well.
Is it true that you didn’t know you were the female lead in “Transformers” until the end of filming?
Megan: Yes. Everything was on lockdown. The script wasn’t released to anyone. The director, Michael Bay, was the only one who’d seen it.
Seth: Guess what? The robots transform! [Laughs.]
In “Revenge,” you flee evil Decepticons for just about the entire movie. At least your male co-stars hauled butt in comfy sneakers — you were in heels!
Megan: Stilettos — and for the last part of the film, motorcycle boots. I had major shinsplints and threw out my back a couple times. Beyond that, Michael likes everyone freakishly tan, so we were painted maroon, like in the old Westerns when they hired Caucasians to play Native Americans. I had on fake eyelashes, running through the desert with sand stuck in them, and I’m sweating off all the makeup. It looked like we were making a tragedy.
Was the set of “Funny People” a bit more chill?
Seth: No, it was pretty much like that. [Laughs.]
Men and women are not always judged equally in Hollywood. If you were the opposite sex but had the same gifts and qualities, how would things be different?
Seth: I would’ve had a much more difficult time being an unconventional-looking woman. I think being an unconventional-looking man is fine. Most of my favorite comedians have been weird-looking: Bill Murray, John Candy, Buster Keaton. It’s almost embraced in the male world. People don’t want their comedy from a real handsome guy.
Megan: I think I would be like George Clooney. He’s sarcastic, and he has a different girlfriend constantly. It’s considered charismatic. He’s like this James Bond, sexy dude. The older he gets, the better he gets. It’s a double standard. To be outspoken, or different at all, is a problem for women. As soon as you curse or, God forbid, make some sort of sexual reference that’s a joke, you’re [labeled a party girl]. They don’t do that with men, so I feel it would be a lot easier.
Olympian Michael Phelps recently got in trouble for photos of him holding a bong. Any incriminating photos of you taking a hit?
Seth: [Big laugh.] Yeah, definitely.
Megan: But you’re not on a Wheaties box.
Seth: Exactly, I never claimed to be a role model.
[From USA Weekend Magazine]
I didn?t like Seth?s answer to the Michael Phelps question. Just because Phelps was respected and admired by kids as a role model, doesn?t mean Phelps put himself out there as perfect. Kids choose their own role models, and I?m sure there are young boys who look up to Seth. Just because Seth didn?t ?claim? to be a role model, doesn?t mean he isn?t one. Maybe I?m just nit-picking, but that answer bothered me. Other than that, it?s kind of a cute interview.

George Clooney is coming to the legal defense of Cindy Crawford’s husband’s Rande Gerber, who is currently embroiled in a sexual assault lawsuit filed by a pair of former waitresses who claim they were 86ed from his restaurant after refusing his sexual advances. According to Us Weekly
While working at [Gerber's] Moonstone Lounge in San Diego, one of the women claims the supermodel’s husband attempted to kiss her three times during the night, then “put his hand up [her] dress in between her legs in an attempt to fondle her crotch.”
“I was with Rande the entire night — as were a lot of people,” [Clooney] said in a statement Monday. “They will all say the same thing that I’m saying. This event never happened. Period.”
A Gerber Group spokesperson [said] “Mr. Gerber and Mr. Clooney will take lie detector tests to prove that the allegations against Mr. Gerber are false.”
That Gerber fellow better pray that his judge is a woman, because everybody knows that no female mortal can resist the mischievous grin and smoldering eyes of the Silver-Haired Rake. His mere presence makes bras spontaneously unhook themselves and panties disappear into thin air. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve woken up on the floor of a Toledo airport bar bathroom without any underpants to speak of. It’s just a shame that I always somehow manage to miss actually seeing him when he’s there.

Over the weekend we heard that Cindy Crawford’s husband, Rande Gerber, was accused of sexual harassment by two different former waitresses at a restaurant he owns. One former employee at his club claims that Gerber tried to kiss her multiple times during an incident in 2008 and that he put his hand up her dress. It all looked pretty damning to Gerber, but he has at least one high profile friend who is willing to vouch for him in court. George Clooney was hanging out with Gerber on the night he’s accused of groping the women. Clooney says that he was with him the entire time and that nothing happened:
Rande Gerber’s sexual harassment lawsuit is about to get even sexier — George Clooney will take the stand. Put another way, he’s testifying against the chicks, so they may as well fold now.
Gerber, along with a couple of his employees, are being sued for sexual harassment — allegedly kissing and fondling two former waitresses. Gerber calls the claims a “blatant lie” and he’s even got witnesses to prove it — including Mr. Clooney himself.
A rep for Gerber tells us, “Mr. Gerber and Mr. Clooney are willing to take a lie detector tests to prove that the allegations against Mr. Gerber are false. Mr. Gerber will not settle this extortion case even for a single dollar and will take all actions necessary to clear his name, including filing a $10 million lawsuit for malicious prosecution once these allegations are proven false.”
Case closed.
UPDATE — Through his rep, Clooney tells us, “I was with Rande the entire night — as were a lot of people — they will all say the same thing that I’m saying. This event never happened. Period.”
[From TMZ]
I don’t know. It’s hard to claim that you were with someone the entire night and can say with certainty that they didn’t leave your side. It bodes well for Gerber that Clooney is so willing to step up and testify on his behalf, though. I usually think there’s some merit to claims like this. That’s not to say that false allegations don’t happen. In the Rob Lowe case he seems to have been railroaded by an ex employee who was looking for a quick settlement and didn’t expect him to fight back. Something similar could be happening to Gerber, but just because Clooney is saying he was with him that night doesn’t mean that the case is closed and that it was motivated by money. It’s not a simple thing to accuse someone of sexual harassment and these women deserve to have the incidents investigated.

| | Brad Pitt, George Clooney among Time's Most Influential People | | Added 15 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Time Magazine’s annual list of the one hundred most influential people in the world came out this weekend. Time splits up their lists into five categories: leaders & revolutionaries; builders & titans; artists & entertainers; heroes & icons; and scientists & thinkers. Several of the expected people made the list: President Obama, Secretary Clinton, President Sarkozy were all named in the leaders section. Artists and entertainers recognized included Penelope Cruz, Kate Winslet, John Legend, M.I.A., Rush Limbaugh, Tina Fey and Zac Efron.
What always strikes me as a celebrity-watcher is which celebrities made the list for a reason other than entertainment value. Angelina Jolie has made the list for several years, but this year she was forgotten, sort of. She wasn?t named one of the most influential people, but she did write a short essay about one of the ?Heroes?, a Cambodian women?s and children?s rights activist named Somaly Mam. Also on the ?Heroes & Icons? part of list, Time chose to include George Clooney (for his Darfur work, in an essay penned by Bono), Oprah Winfrey (essay by Michelle Obama), Sarah Palin (in an essay penned by Ann Coulter) and Michelle Obama (essay by Oprah).
One the most unexpected inclusions on the list was Brad Pitt - because he wasn?t named as an entertainer, hero or icon. Brad was included in the ?builders and titans? part, all for his work with Make It Right NOLA. In a surprisingly lovely essay, James Carville and Mary Matalin write about Brad?s affection and work for the city. Carville and Matalin are famously Democratic and Republican (respectively) political operatives and pundits, as well as a married couple raising their family in New Orleans. Here?s what they had to say about Brad:
During the civil rights movement, the distinction was made between those who would “talk the talk” ? i.e., attend parties, fundraisers and speeches ? and those who would be willing to “walk the walk” ? that is, use their bodies as a backstop for nightsticks and clubs.
In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the news media and New Orleans itself were inundated with people who were willing to talk the talk. And from this gaggle of talkers emerged one who took the long walk with our city.
Brad Pitt found, after listening to residents, that this horrible man-made disaster created an opportunity to build something better than what had existed before. From starting the Make It Right Foundation, which is building hundreds of affordable and sustainable homes in the Lower Ninth Ward and elsewhere in the city, to his advocacy on behalf of New Orleans with congressional leaders to his filming of the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which featured our city so beautifully, Pitt has remained committed to the people of New Orleans.
We knew we were getting a Sexiest Man Alive, and we soon found we got the most committed one too.
At a time when New Orleans’ future ? and an entire culture ? hangs in the balance, one of the most sought-after actors in the world and our fellow New Orleanian hasn’t simply helped people; he’s also given them their lives back. Pitt, 45, has brought life and hope to the nation’s most unique city and one we’re proud to call home. In a place that has been described as “the city that care forgot,” it is a fact that Brad Pitt never forgot to care.
From Time Magazine
While Brad was out promoting The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, he said several times that this will be the year that the first phase of Make It Right NOLA will complete the initial 100 homes. Brad started the organization in 2005, only a few months after the Hurricane Katrina. There are already several homes up right now, and they have some really beautiful pictures of the eco-friendly homes up on the website.
Even though I usually hate the most beautiful or sexiest lists, I tend to enjoy both Time?s ?most influential? list, as well as their Person/people of the year lists. They?re always good reads, and usually the essays are thought-provoking and interesting. Some other notable reads were Ted Kennedy, essay by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Stella McCartney by Gwyneth ?GOOP? Paltrow, and M.I.A. by Spike Jonze.
Brad Pitt and George Clooney are shown at the Venice Film Festival on 8/28/08. Credit: WENN.com
