Clooney honored for humanitarian work

George Clooney was named a United Nations "messenger of peace" today for his humanitarian work, particularly his advocacy for refugees in Darfur.

U.N. spokeswoman Michele Montas said the actor is being "recognized for focusing public attention on crucial international political and social issues."

Clooney and pals Brad Pitt and Don Cheadle raised awareness and money for the refugees through their "Not On Our Watch" charity. Clooney and Cheadle were also recipients of the Peace Summit Award in December for their work for Darfur.
