Big news today for “E.R.” fans — George Clooney will be returning for the show’s big finale. According to People Magazine
Sources [say] that ER co-creator John Wells has ordered a closed set to keep Clooney?s appearance under wraps. It?s not known how many episodes will feature Clooney as the show films its final season.
I was so excited when I heard this. Finally, an actor worthy enough to wear the bejeweled belt of Beloth the Wise! Someone with enough emotional depth to play Murtagh, son of Morzan, last of the Forsworn! You know, because the first movie sucked so hard. But then my mom told me that “E.R.” stood for “Emergency Room,” not for “Eragon Returns,” and that I should get a job and get off the goddamn computer already. She may have bested me this time, but she will never learn my true name in the ancient language and be able to control my life! Victory is mine!

There’s been a lot of speculation over whether George Clooney will reprise his career-making role in ER in a cameo for the long running series finale. Clooney’s rep earlier denied any knowledge of a planned cameo, but now it’s been sort-of confirmed through maybe-reliable sources that rebellious Dr. Doug Ross will come back to help say goodbye to the show that we thought would remain on creaky life support forever.
Sources confirm to Entertainment Tonight the future of George Clooney’s role on “ER.”
Sources confirm to Entertainment Tonight that George Clooney will be filming scenes for an appearance on “ER” this week.
Clooney rose to fame as Dr. Doug Ross on the show, which premiered in 1994, and last appeared uncredited in 2000.
The final episode of “ER” will air Thursday night, April 2 now that NBC has extended the season’s run by three extra episodes. A one-hour clip show retrospective will run just before the final episode airs.

Leave it to network television to drag out a 15 year-old prime time show just a little bit longer for those last three totally unnecessary episodes.
It’s good of Clooney to make an appearance, as he definitely doesn’t need the exposure. The same can’t be said of his former co-star and on-screen love interest, Juliana Marguiles, who doesn’t have a lot of offers coming in, but has refused to come back to the show, claiming she left her character “in the best scenario possible.” We don’t know how she ended things with producers and maybe there’s some bad blood there or she just doesn’t want to revisit the past.
This show jumped the shark about seven years ago around the time that Dr. Green died and producers took it in a new melodramatic direction with unbelievable plot lines, swelling music, and close up shots to hammer in the over-the-top drama. Clooney is being gracious and helping the show make a long overdue exit, although most of his fans stopped watching it years ago. ER was among the top five most watched shows in America from 1994 until 2002. It steadily fell in the ratings after Anthony Edwards left, and was ranked 54th last year. Clooney had the sense to leave in 1999 before the decline. It’s nice to see that he’s not above helping put ER out of its misery.

Ellen DeGeneres is finally getting her wish! After months of lobbying, George Clooney has agreed to appear on Ellen?s show. To get him on, Ellen parlayed several of her guests into helping her get Clooney on the show. Brad Pitt even suggested that Ellen hire Chippendale dancers to lure Clooney. After all of that, George finally agreed, and even complained that people were coming up to him, asking why he hadn?t gone on Ellen?s show. What?s still up in the air is whether Clooney will appear on one of the final episodes of ER.
All season long, since moving into new headquarters on the Warner Bros. lot, Ellen DeGeneres has had one goal in mind: get George Clooney on the show. She even enlisted the aid of Brad Pitt ? which didn?t help much.
Finally, with her New Year’s motto “George is Mine in ‘09,” the talk-show host got what she was after, with Clooney’s appearance set to air Monday.
“Have people been informing you every step of the way of what we’ve done [to get you here]?” the ever-demure DeGeneres asks Clooney.
“Informing me is not really what I would call what my office has been doing. Ah, complaining,” he replies. “They were a little concerned when that marching band came in. ? The trombone player hurt someone, as always.”
Apparently what did do the trick in leading Clooney to the studio door was DeGeneres’s decision to follow the advice of the leading man’s former ER costar Noah Wyle ? who advised her to also invite former Cincinnati Reds, Johnny Bench and Joe Morgan, on the show.
Though that, possibly, wasn’t the only reason.
Says Clooney: “People do come up to me all the time and say, ‘What’s wrong with you, man? Why don’t you go on Ellen’s show?’ [And] I say I haven’t been in town, which I haven’t been in town for a long time. I haven’t really ?” He then dissolves into laughter.
Besides doing The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Clooney may do a parting shot as Dr. Doug Ross during the 15th and final season of ER, according to the show’s executive producer John Wells.
Speaking to reporters Thursday at a Television Critics Association panel, Wells said, “George is very busy [but] we’ve talked about it a couple times.” Reps for Clooney have not confirmed the appearance.
From People
Why is Clooney still playing hard to get with ER? He made a special cameo several years ago, but that was really hush-hush. So there?s a possibility that Clooney has had already decided to come back, and the producers want to surprise people. As far as going on Ellen?s show, that?s just good business, and Ellen had drawn out the joke long enough.

All of the Democratic Party?s celebrity A-listers are getting so excited about Barack Obama?s inauguration next Tuesday. Many are making plans to trek to Washington and party with the politicos. But few have the dedication of George Clooney, who flew into Washington yesterday, a full week ahead of the inauguration.
George Clooney is so excited about Barack Obama’s inauguration that he has touched down in Washington D.C a full week ahead of the ceremony to mark the start of the new President’s term of office.
The Oceans Eleven star looked thrilled to be in the capital as he beamed for the cameras at the airport yesterday and signed autographs before getting a police escort to his car.
The actor is scheduled to appear at the Newseum - where the inauguration will be held next Tuesday - on January 26, so it looks like George will be in Washington for almost two weeks!
We hope Mr Clooney smartens up his appearance by then - he turned up wearing a very old-looking pair of filthy boots.
From entertainmentwise.com
As it turns out, Clooney will not be staying on for the inauguration. He was only in town for a day to celebrate his father’s birthday. However, many stars will be showing up, which brings to mind several Hollywood-Washington problems. It was recently pointed out that Clooney, Halle Berry, Matt Damon and other Democratic Party celebrity loyalists made a concerted effort this election cycle to stay out of the political news, and stay away from the election drama. During the campaign, Obama made several trips to Los Angeles, nearly all of them for quiet fundraisers jam-packed with celebrities. However, many of these same celebrities will be coming to the inauguration, and a lot can happen in four years. Perhaps when Obama runs again in 2012, there will be more stories about Obama?s apparent closeness to Hollywood. It could be argued (and I tend to agree) that Obama?s now a bigger star than any actor.

He’s no stranger to airports, and earlier today George Clooney was spotted making his way through the terminal at the Washington DC airport following a brief visit to the city.
The “Oceans Thirteen” stud looked a bit bleary-eyed as he arrived for the early morning departing flight, sporting a black jacket, grey t-shirt, and blue jeans.

Robert Downey Jr. is the cover boy for Men?s Vogue, Spring 2009. The issue will somehow be included or integrated into the April Vogue issue. Apparently, Conde Nast is trying something new because the launch of Men?s Vogue hasn?t been the success they were hoping for.
It?s a really beautiful picture of Downey - he looks good for his age and his history. People have started comparing him to George Clooney, but I?m not so sure. Clooney and Downey are very different men with very different appeals - but both can wear the hell out of a suit, so there?s that. Downey is nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe for his role in Tropic Thunder, and his turn in the massively successful Iron Man has put him back on the A-list.
Robert Downey Jr. has never looked hotter than on the cover of the upcoming Men?s Vogue. The magazine has gone from publishing ten times a year to doing two seasonal editions. The next issue, Spring 2009, will appear on the back of regular Vogue magazine in its April 2009 issue.
For the first time, Vogue will couple the male mag by binding it to the back as a reverse-bound issue having two covers. If you flip Vogue over, you get Men?s Vogue.
The future of Men?s Vogue is still up in the air. Publisher Conde? Nast indicates it is an experiment that may allow the male version to survive the chopping block and enjoy a second life.
Step aside George Clooney, you may have finally met your match.

In addition to Downey?s cover-boy status, Iron Man 2 already has some big casting news. Downey, of course, will return as Tony Stark. Gwyneth ?GOOP? Paltrow, too, is returning. But who will play the next villain? As SamHill mentioned yesterday, some say Mickey Rourke, some say Sam Rockwell.
Mickey Rourke, who earned numerous awards and nominations for his work in “The Wrestler,” is in talks to play a villain in “Iron Man 2.”
Variety.com said Rourke is up for the role of the Russian arms dealer, the Crimson Dynamo, in “IM2.”
Director Jon Favreau reportedly plans to begin shooting the sequel to the 2008 Marvel Entertainment blockbuster this spring. Paramount Pictures, which will distribute the movie, has scheduled it for release in the summer of 2010.
Robert Downey Jr. plays the title character in the “Iron Man” franchise and Variety.com said Sam Rockwell is in talks to play his as-yet-undisclosed nemesis in the second installment. Rockwell can now be seen in “Frost/Nixon.”
[From United Press International]
I don?t have anything against Mickey Rourke, but I absolutely adore Sam Rockwell. Even though Rockwell?s a great actor, I wonder if he can pull off a comic-style villain. Rourke might be better, simply because he already seems a little cartoon-y.

Reports indicate that Paris Hilton may be banging George Clooney. The two have been spotted out together a couple of times. The first being at the Whiskey Bar in West Hollywood. Sources say: “Paris and George sat and talked together for ages. They didn’t seem to be aware of anyone else in the room.”
The two were next seen together at Dan Tana’s in some type of “bizarre business meeting.” That’s because sitting next to them was Ridley Scott, Marvel studios chairman David Maisel and Brittanny Flickinger, Paris’ manufactured BFF.
Clooney must have a deathwish. Doesn’t he know his immune system isn’t prepared to deal with Paris? Putting his penis in her will be like sneezing on someone who lives in a bubble. Paris’ vag must be happy though. It gets to feed again. I even heard someone mention that they heard an eerie, “Muahahahahaha!,” coming from her crotch when she went to fix herself up in the Whiskey Bar’s bathroom.
Here’s Paris and her BFF in Australia.

In a report you hope is completely fabricated but contains too many details to dismiss, In Touch makes the case for a burgeoning romance between the world’s most famous confirmed bachelor and the squinty face of useless fame. Paris Hilton and George Clooney were spotted out twice together on consecutive nights. While the first night may have been a coincidence or chance meeting In Touch adds some weight to an otherwise questionable story with a second night out involving heavy flirting. George really will give anyone a tumble, long-lasting side effects be damned:
Sitting next to each other at Dan Tana’s in West Hollywood on December 20, [Paris Hilton and George Clooney] appeared to only have eyes for each other. “You could tell there was definitely chemistry,” a source says.
Although they were joined by a group of fellow diners, including director Ridley Scott, funnyman Tyler Perry and Paris’ new BFF, Brittant Flickinger, onlookers say George, 47, and Paris, 27, virtually ignored everyone else at their table. “It looked like a first date that they brought pals on to make it not look like a first date,” an eyewitness tells In Touch.
And it wasn’t their first romantic rendezvous. One night earlier, the two shared drinks at the Whisky Bar at the Sunset Marquis hotel. “You could tell they were really into each other,” says a pal of Paris’. “They were gazing into each other’s eyes and smiling and laughing.”
[From In Touch, print edition, January 12, 2008]
At least we can console ourselves with the knowledge that Clooney doesn’t keep anyone around more than a few months and he isn’t apologetic about it. In Paris’ case he was probably drunk and/or bored and happened to be at the same place at the same time. If there is some kind of semi-lasting superficial bond there you hope they’re not secretive about it and we get some public entertainment out of it. There are too many possibilities to consider with these two - like what will they talk about?
Clooney’s last girlfriend, cocktail waitress Sara Larson, wasn’t the brightest bulb, but she spoke of the wonder of meeting the Dalai Lama. Will Paris’ world expand beyond extensions and pretty dresses under Clooney’s influence? This whole story is probably crap and we might not hear about it again anyway. I’m keeping my fingers crossed, though. George isn’t picky and Paris would be thrilled to hook up with an A-list star. The possibilities are just too fun to pass up, and maybe they realize it too. Is it too soon to name them Parislooney?

Whether or not Brad Pitt is ever appealing is constantly up for debate on these threads. My opinion is that Brad is a good-looking guy who seems like he needs a really great nap. Attractive, but the styling is everything with Brad. My favorite Brad is some version of his classic red-carpet look - good suit, decent haircut and a shaved face.
Brad?s had to go through the last couple of months of press junkets with what can only be described as an unfortunate mustache. He grew the dreaded ?stache for the movie he?s filming with Quentin Tarantino, Inglorious Bastards. Tired of criticism, Brad defended the look in a recent comment to People Magazine, and managed to throw an elbow at his frenemy/best bud/soulmate George Clooney.
[Brad Pitt] proudly brushes off any criticism, telling PEOPLE “It’s fashion. Who am I without creative facial hair?”
After hearing about the naysayers, he adds, “I consider it very brave.”
In truth, the ’stache is for his role in the Quentin Tarantino movie he’s filming, Inglorious Bastards.
After learning that his pal George Clooney is also sporting facial hair, Pitt quips, “I cannot get this guy out of my slipstream. He calls me up and wants to know what I’m wearing ? and then he shows up in the same thing. Next thing you know he’s going to have six kids. Just got to tell you it’s getting really old.”
[From People]
Haha, Brad. I can totally imagine Brad and George gossiping on the phone about what they?re going to wear, but George with six kids? Or should I say, George with six kids from how many different women?
But Brad has a point. Sometimes I do think Clooney?s a little jealous of Brad. Or maybe I?m reading too much into their sometimes homoerotic media tangles.
