Could This Be Considered "Biological Warfare"?!

This might just be another fairy tale from the pages of Life&Style, but if it's not, I will be holding auditions next week to replace George Clooney's place in my cold, black heart. Life&Style says he might, just might, be dating the CDC's favorite spokesperson, Paris Hilton.

Whip me, because this is hurtful.

The two have apparently met up twice just before Christmas. A "friend" of Hilton's (ain't it always the "friend"?) said they had drinks at the Whiskey Bar alone. The friend said, "Paris and George sat and talked together for ages. They didn't seem to be aware of anyone else in the room."

Some other source said the two also had dinner at Dan Tana's the next night.

George Clooney's stripper love

George Clooney loves being propositioned by male blonde strippers, claims Brad Pitt.

Brad, who became close friends with the legendary womaniser after the pair starred in several movies together, insists George has a soft spot for hunky Chippendales dancers.

When TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres asked Brad how to woo George, Brad replied: "Get a bunch of Chippendales. He's yours. Three, four - no less than three. Make one a blonde."

Earlier in the show, Ellen revealed she has been trying to convince George to appear on her popular TV series since her studio moved next to the 'Burn After Reading' star's office.

She told Brad in the interview which is due to air today (04.12.08): "We've tried everything with our 'Catch Clooney' project. We've sent Victoria's Secret models over. We've sent Miss America over. We've sent Kate Hudson over. We've sent gifts. We decorated his bungalow for Halloween. I don't know what more we can do."

George, 47, has previously been romantically linked to a string of beautiful women including Renee Zellweger, Salma Hayek, Julia Roberts, Lucy Liu, Lisa Snowdon and Sarah Larson.

He has vowed never to get married or have children, following his divorce from actress Talia Balsam in 1993.

Clooney Back To ER?

Paging Dr. Ross STAT! The Producers of ER are trying to secure George Clooney's return for the shows final season. Producers already got secured cameo's from Anthony Edwards as Dr. Green, and Noah Wyle as Dr. Carter.

Storylines have already been written for Eriq Lasalle's Dr. Benton, Alex Kingston's Dr. Corday, Laura Innes' Carrie Weaver, George Clooney and Julianna Margulies' Dr. and Mrs. Ross. Whether any of them come back is still up in the air. Of the original big stars Sherry Springfield as Dr. Lewis is the only one not invited back, and Gloria Reuben's Jeannie Boulet appeared last season.

A return from Clooney would produce big ratings for the shows last season, as well as give closure for fans. Clooney says he has never been approached by anyone from the show, yet his publicist says he would NOT appear. Only time will tell if we get appearance from George Clooney, but either way this will be an exciting final season for the award-winning series.

George Clooney and Cindy Crawford in Italy

Talk about living the celebrity lifestyle! Supermodel Cindy Crawford was has been spotted on George Clooney's yacht in Sardinia, Italy on Tuesday. They were all spotted in St. Tropez, as well.

Crawford and her husband Rande Garber have been the guests of the “Ocean’s Thirteen” star all week, as they’ve relaxing and swam around the Mediterranean Sea in his luxury boat. I'd love to be a fly on the wall of that boat and see what their week has been like! What a perfect vacation.

So when's the next time we'll be seeing Clooney on the big screen? His next film he's working on is Burn After Reading which is about two dimwitted gym employees, played by Clooney and Brad Pitt, who find a disc with a CIA agent’s book manuscript. The inept duo schemes to sell the disc while the disc’s owner, played by John Malkovich, tries to get it back.

Wacky espionage antics ensue and according to the cast at least, the comedy is most closely comparable to the Coen’s best film, The Big Lebowski.

Is George Clooney single?

According to reports, George Clooney, 47, and his girlfriend of nearly a year, 29-year-old Sarah Larson, have ended their relationship.

"I do not comment on George's personal life," said Clooney's rep, Stan Rosenfield. But sources told In Touch Weekly and People that the two had called it quits.

"George is relieved to be single again," an anonymous source told In Touch, which was first to break the news. "He thinks Sarah is sweet and that is why it was so hard to break up with her."

The two reportedly met when Clooney was celebrating his birthday at the Green Valley Ranch in Las Vegas several years ago. Larson was a Vegas cocktail waitress and go-go dancer at the time. They started dating when Clooney returned to Vegas for the premiere of "Ocean's Thirteen" last June.

The insider told In Touch that it was their vastly different backgrounds that contributed to their decision to break up: "The truth is that they had little in common and he just doesn't want to be tied down," the source said.

Oscar winner Sydney Pollack dies

Oscar-winning director Sydney Pollack passed away Monday afternoon in his Pacific Palisades home in Los Angeles after a nine-month bout with cancer. According to his publicist, Leslee Dart, the 73-year-old Hollywood mainstay was surrounded by family at the time.

Also an occasional actor, Pollack's career reached its apex during the 1970s and 1980s. He achieved success with his gender-bending film "Tootsie" and the period drama "Out of Africa," and worked with some of Hollywood's best actors, including George Clooney.

"Sydney made the world a little better, movies a little better and even dinner a little better. A tip of the hat to a class act," Clooney said in a statement from his publicist.

"He'll be missed terribly," Clooney added.

Other A-list actors Pollack worked with include Sally Field and Paul Neman ("In Absence of Malice"), Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn ("The Interpretor"), Robert Mitchum ("The Yakuza"), Tom Cruise ("The Firm"), Robert Redford ("Three Days of the Condor" and "The Way We Were") and Barbra Streisand ("The Way We Were").

"Having the opportunity to know Sydney and work with him was a great gift in my life," Field said in a statement. "He was a good friend and a phenomenal director and I will cherish every moment that I ever spent with him."

In his later years, Pollack spent more time in front of the camera. He appeared in the films "Husbands and Wives," "The Player," "Death Becomes Her," "Eyes Wide Shut" and "Made of Honor." He also played Will's father on "Will & Grace" and made appearances on "The Sopranos," "Frasier" and "Mad About You."

Pollack is surved by his wife, Claire; two daughters, a brother and six grandchildren, according to MSNBC. His son Steven died in a 1993 plane crash.

Is George Clooney returning to 'ER'?

NBC's medical drama "ER" has been renewed for its fifteenth season - and people are wondering if former star George Clooney will return.

The answers have been mixed, so far.

According to star Scott Grimes, there's an "85 percent chance" that Clooney will be back, a statistic based on a positive run-in with the cast that lasted for several hours.

But executive producer John Wells told reporters and the press last week: "I love George. He’s a friend of mine. [But] I would doubt very much that he would come back to the show."

Celebrity Fashion News

Several celebrities are joining in the trend to start their own fashion lines. Lindsay Lohan is apparently turning her obsession with leggings into a money-making venture. Lohan is designing her own line of leggings, confirmed her representative. We'll just have to see how long the pant-less fad continues to have legs (pun intended).

Rachel Bilson is taking on a perhaps more legitimate sounding designing gig. The "Jumpers" actress will collaborate her own Edie Rose line with DKNY Jeans. The sportswear collection, which will hit major department stores in September, will include jackets, dresses, jeans and knits.

Whitney Port, Lauren Conrad's friend and co-worker on "The Hills," is also making a foray into the designing world, following in the footsteps of LC's successful line and Heidi Montag's upcoming Heidiwood collection. The former Teen Vogue intern is teaming up with her pal, Adrienne Baravetto, to create a 17-piece collection to retail in upscale boutiques this fall. The contemporary clothing line will feature a lot of navy and pink, multi-colored jackets and tie-dye and sparkly dresses that run approximately $100-$500.

Finally, George Clooney's girlfriend, "Fear Factor" winner Sarah Larson, is now taking a stint on the catwalk. Larson modeled swimsuits for designer Ashley Paige at L.A. Fashion Week. "She was our special guest model, and yes she was booked as a model two days before the show. Of course we knew it would be press-worthy, but more importantly she's a fan of the label and she was a perfect fit for the show. She was a total delight to work with and she was professional. Just like any other model," Paige told People.

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.

Who you callin' a diva?

It is reported that George Clooney and Fabio got into an altercation in a West Hollywood eatery. As the story goes, George and Fabio's dinner parties were seated in close proximity to each other in the restaurant. It just so happens, that a member of Fabio's dinner party was a photographer. As the photographer began taking shots of Fabio, George being a diva assumed that the photo's were being taken of him and he asked the photographer to stop. At this point Fabio went over to the table and confronted George, this is when push came to shove, but the altercation was broken up by waiters before it escalated out of hand. I think I am going to have to side with George on this one, besides, why would you want pictures of Fabio eating in the first place?

Clooney breaks rib in motorcycle accident

George Clooney was treated for a broken rib and scrapes after he and a companion collided with a car on Friday afternoon. Clooney and Sarah Larson were riding a motorcycle on a narrow road along the Hudson River across from NYC.

They sped up to pass a driver on the right who was making a righthand turn, said Weehawken police Sgt. Sean Kelly. The accident is still under investigation, but Kelly said it is illegal to pass on the right in the state of New Jersey.

Stan Rosenfield, Clooney's spokesman, described a different situation. "The car signaled left. George was riding to the right. The driver decided to make an abrupt right turn and clipped George," he said.

Rosenfield said Clooney and Larson, who suffered a broken foot, were both treated Palisades Medical Center and released.

Clooney was in the area filming the comedy "Burn After Reading" with Brad Pitt, John Malkovich and Frances McDormand, but his injuries will not interrupt the schedule, Rosenfield said.

Lepaparazzi News Update: Olivier Martinez Three-Times Kylie

Love rat cheats on Minogue TWICE..!

According to UK newspaperThe Daily Mail, Kylie Minogue’s and Olivier Martinez’s three-year relationship is on the rocks.

It is rumoured that the French heart- throb has been caught 'entertaining' two other women in Los Angeles whilst his singer girlfriend was in Britain.

Friends of Ms. Minogue have told the Mail that Martinez has increasingly tried to alienate himself from his girlfriend in a desperate bid for her to finish with him.

Another source said,"Olivier finds Kylie too controlling and neurotic". "But he feels he cannot dump her so soon after her recovery from breast cancer.


Martinez was seen dining with two women on two separate occasions at LA’s famous celeb restaurant, Chateau Marmont. Both women spent time in his room after the meal.

Whilst her boyfriend was wining and dining his new conquests, Minogue, 38, was finishing the last dregs of her Homecoming Tour which she struggled to complete after suffering from exhaustion.

It seems the pint-sized starlet is somewhat unlucky in love. She went through a similar rough patch with Martinez two years ago after he was spotted kissing a woman, who incidentally turned out to be one of the women he was snapped in LA with, on a Paris street.

Minogue, who is recuperating after a breast cancer scare, has made no secret of wanting to start a family….looks like Martinez’s lothario ways have come as a blessing in disguise.
