Sigh. Fat Clooney, Black and White Clooney, U.N. Clooney, even bathroom stall Clooney—there's just no one quite like George. Just ask Time magazine columnist Joel Stein, who, assigned with the burden of perhaps one of the most culturally significant cover stories of our time (hint: it's called "The Last Movie Star,"), did the nearly unthinkable: He invited the Michael Clayton star to his home. For a home-cooked dinner. And George said yes.
We know! And while it wasn't the seventh limoncello that ultimately did them in (nor the lingering specter of some extremely undercooked lamb), the two managed to kill a couple of bottles of wine, and bond as well as any Torchbearer of a Bygone Hollywood Era and Slightly Dweeby, Fawning Profiler possibly could. For proof, the entire evening was captured on video. Sure enough, there's Clooney, rummaging through every last corner of Stein's abode on a hunt for the source of piercing alarm that keeps interrupting their meal. Does it sound as if this was the most successful hipster-hosted superstar dinner party in history? Probably not. But Clooney, god bless him, makes it seem like it was. Bacon sizzling. The Decemberists singing. And Clooney in your crawlspace. Oh, just admit it: You wish it was you.









Sigh.

not sure if it's the computer i'm viewing on or what, but the video freezes at the 1:32 mark.
and yes, i do wish that it was me.
It took Mark Lisant's departure to get BOLD ITALICS?! So sad.
And it doesn't even work!
IT DOESN'T?
@the cajun boy: Mine does that too. And man, this new comment interface is so Web 2.0, it's practically Web 3.0. I'm scared.
Oh my GAWD- something has taken over the commenter section! It's, it's...OPTIONS! (TWO of 'em! OOOOOOO!!) And SPELLCHECK!!
And P.S. Yes, I do want George in my craaaaawl space, if you know what I mean. Get it? See how that works? Yeah, still horny as hell. I shall dismiss myself now. Good-bye.
According to Radaronline Hollywood hates George Clooney. I'm confused.
My video freezes at the 1:32 mark also. I suspect a Clooney conspiracy. And The Decemberists?! AAARRRGGH. Does that mean they've jumped the shark?
@the cajun boy: whoops! the file didn't finish loading to the server before we posted it!
it will be fixed shortly and everyone can finally know what household device was making that pesky beeping noise that disturbed their dinner.
italics. bold.
@queserasera: I hate myself for liking him a bit more after hearing he has an ego and temper. Damn you, Clooney, does your suave evilness have no mercy?!
George that sound you heard was the call back to the Facts of Life set.
Stupid George Clooney making me like him and being all cute and sexy and old.
If only he and Joel made out...
That's a domestic goddess' wet dream all right!. He's all masterful and Mr. Fix-It and OOOOOH! I wish he'd come round to mine and test my floorboards for squeakiness. He could probably fix my microwave too!
Ugh, seeing that and knowing that he'll never marry again just breaks my heart.
Don't believe: anything you "hear"; believe only half of what you see. Truth be told, everyone has an ego and a temper... If you don't have either, you are merely a cadaver. @Little Mintz Sunshine:
I have the hugest crush on George Clooney, much to my fiancee's dismay, and this video just cemented it. I was sitting there cooing over it the entire time, and nearly got myself banned from ever viewing this lovely site again (by the old ball and chain). Damn you, George!
