From Patchouli to Prada (Clooney’s “mystery” girl?)
FOREWARD:
*Broadcast Temporarily Interrrupted*
I can understand that some may have chosen to add malicious attacks and comments under this article but I don’t plan to respond to them, unless of course they are directed towards me and then…I might, because then it’s just funny. You may feel that my intentions in this article may have been dishonorable at best, but I wish no ill will towards anyone.
Sarah may have rubbed me the wrong way at times but I have no negative feelings towards her, believe it or not. I wasn’t going to come out here like Capt. Save-a-ho and write an article defending random attacks by strangers on the internet when I wrote it, but I was trying to humanize this rampant frenzy to search out her history and to stabilize it if I could. I tried to show her in the truthful light of someone that everyone could be familiar with. No need to turn her into a GOD or to turn her into a DEMON. She’s just a regular ass human, and guess what?….so is George Clooney.
If you are tremendously hurt or inspired by anything either of them do that is broadcasted through the media which paints them in either light, the only real problems that you have do not come from these people, who you will never likely come in contact with in real life, it comes for your own issues. There’s a show for that, it’s called Dr. Phil. Sorry they cancelled Lilith Fair.
I will not censor your comments, I am against that fully, but don’t expect me to feed into them either, positively or negatively. Maybe another mistake on my part is that I am failing to remove this article, but I do take great time and effort to compose my articles and thoughts and I view them as my own form of art. Words to me are something that I can form and something that I can create or express with, even if I can’t afford a $2,500 wacom tablet or expensive musical equipment. If you think my writing is shit…that’s cool. I think most film today is shit and most of the celebrities that people worship are talentless hacks. This is my forum which you are welcome to visit and comment on as you see fit. That’s all that it is; that and a forum for friends of mine whose views that I respect. I hope people are enjoying it. Maybe you’ll enjoy another article, maybe you don’t give a fuck. Either way thanks for visiting and I appreciate your time.
Now that I’ve said that, you are very welcome to continue

I woke up Saturday morning when my phone rang at 9:13 pacific standard time. It was a message from my friend KB Smooth texting me from Rhode Island. The message said “Sarah Larson is dating George Clooney…” I got up and went to my computer. I searched on line to find pictures of Sarah and Clooney at a celebrity coctail party in Venice for the release of his new film Michael Clayton, where they were hanging out with Spike Lee, Bill Murray, and Richard Gere. Everything else that I found on the internet about her dating Clooney, refers to her as a “mystery girl“. No one seems to know anything about her except her name and age (28) but they seem to be searching frantically. Some refer to her as a possible “Go-Go dancer” but without confirmation. I don’t understand the intense interest, but I can say one thing; she’s not much of a fucking mystery. I’ve known her since she was 10.
The main difference was that she had a side-pontytail when I met her 2 years prior. The photo above is from our 7th grade Junior High year book. You may be thinking, “Damn! That’s fucked up. I can’t believe you posted that photo on the internet.” If you have this year book, then you know that I don’t have room to talk shit because my picture is actually worse. Yeah, I know, it was 1991 and it was a long time ago. If you think about it though, what’s really fucked up is that, at the time when the picture was taken, George Clooney was already a suave 30 yr old adult man with sideburns who was playing Booker Brookes on Roseanne. That’s 2 years older than Sarah is right now. When I was 6 years old and pretending that I was StreetHawk, this cat actually got to appear on an episode. That same year he started his 2 year run on the Facts of Life for crissakes! If Alan Thicke wrote the theme song to a show that you were a major character on, then you’ve been around for a minute. Hell, he was even getting acting gigs before I was a fetus floating next to a dangerous IUD.It’s wierd seeing somebody that you’ve known for almost 20 years in photographs romantically linking them with an Oscar winner. Sarah and I have attended the same schools since elementary and all the way up through college. We even lived in the same house at one point. She dated a former bandmate of mine for 6 years and was my ex-girlfriend’s best friend for years as well. We’ve been on road trips. Now everyone is so fascinated with her. I know why the people who know her are, but the rest of you…what’s the deal? What the fuck do you really want to know? She’s just some broad from Kent, a town located between Seattle and Tacoma Washington. A town, when we were growing up there, that had something to prove. When people live in a suburb like that, they like nothing more than to go to parties, get drunk off of their parents shitty beer and punch eachother in the throat.
The same day I found out about her new popularity, my mom told me that she was on the cover of People magazine and, later on E!, she was shown in a brief clip. I had been at work all day, however, before I left I had emailed a couple of publications stating simply that I knew her. I got a response and I spoke on the phone a couple of times with one publication in particular. It was insane. I was just interested in the process at first but I started to get swept away with the whole situation. I held back with info trying to see what they would say to me and, basically, trying to read the British man on the other end of the line. It was a little shady right off the bat. I got questions like “Would you say she was a maneater?” and gave responses like, “Um…no, I wouldn’t say that she was a ‘man eater‘…” Eventually, after being awakened early on my day off with a phone call, I said that I wouldn’t link him up with an ex-boyfriend of hers unless I heard something solid instead of bullshit. I got a monetary offer and a contract was sent to my friend. I don’t like feeling like I’m on the other end of a hustle and, although money is nice, neither of us (the ex-boyfriend and I) were out to destroy or hurt anyone, so we basically both decided not to take the cash or to deal with them further. Plus, when you sign a contract like that, there is a clause where you can’t speak about your story to anyone for at least 3 months afterwards. That means that if they twist your shit around, which they will inevitably do, you can’t make a rebuttal anywhere else publically. Fuck it! It wasn’t enough to build my bronze statue in which I’m holding a giant lazer anyway. I’m spilling my guts here instead. In my own forum and in the appropriate context. I don’t really “hate” anyone, but I do know that all of this shit is going to be pouring out soon from one direction or another.
I lived in a house near Lake Meridian and Sarah lived about 3 houses away. Her family was nice enough and she was the oldest of 3 sisters. She also has a little brother and a step dad. Her mom had remarried after a divorce due to Sarah’s dad being gay and remarrying another man. It was actually very interesting because he had lived for a long time with the AIDS virus and, as I recall, scientists were interested in finding out why so that they could learn something more about the disease. I believe that he eventually died around 2002 or ’03. This should be the one thing, if anything, that should really draw some sympathy for her, but I don’t know how something like that is printed for a headline. It’s most likely in a shady manner, and I know that the tabloids are already aware of this to a certain degree because I was asked directly about it.
There is a post from a guy calling himself Pizza T on the internet, who not only calls himself a “hippy thug” but also claims that he dated Sarah for 6 years. Sites are wondering if it’s true because they haven’t been able to “confirm” it. Fuck, I’ll “confirm” it right now. It’s true. Their relationship started in High School. Our high school was fucked up too. You were either living in a country club, crazy ghetto broke and hood, or stuck being left in the middle like the rest of us. I was even supposed to walk at graduation with Sarah but, since the school hated me, I was barely allowed to walk at all. I walked by myself as the last student behind a kid in a wheel chair.
Sarah wasn’t rocking $3 million dollars worth of Bulgari jewels back then, she was wearing hemp necklaces, listening to the Grateful Dead, and attending Phish concerts. When I was 18 I got in my car with some friends, her boyfriend at the time included, and I travelled around California for about 3 months, scamming fast food, sleeping in my Datsun 510 with the fake Jaguar hood ornament, using psychedelics, and getting into free concerts. Sarah made a few trips down from Kent to see Tommy (Pizza T) visit, camp, etc. I wasn’t in a band with Tommy yet, but the majority of the people on the trip were. The band was called MUSIC and we would set up shows and they would play them in random towns we’d hit up on the trip. We were notorious for making offensive and/or low quality flyers to advertise. It was 1997 and quite a few such flyers that we made were contsructed from game pieces for contests at a fast food chain that I used to like to scam food from. The game pieces had photos of characters from a big movie that was out that summer. The movie was Batman and Robin starring, none other than George Clooney.
This photo of Sarah above is from that summer tour. It was taken at a spot called Whole in the Wall in Garberville, Ca where we had all slept that night. Some random middle aged naked guy showed up and decided to lounge out for a tan and we actually only took this picture of her so that we could snap him in it and remember that day. That brings me to a quick point. Sarah looks a lot tanner now and her hair isn’t blonde anymore, like it used to be. Another issue that it brings up is that, this was taken 10 years ago and I can’t seem to easily find any pictures of her that are more recent. She was there all of time but nobody seemed to feel the need to hold on to any pictures of her. Around this time I was closer to almost anyone else but her. I was a lot closer with her boyfriend and I actually met him through her. She, unfortunately, began to take on more of the role as someone’s girlfriend who complained a lot. The girl who, when everyone was hanging out and being dirty and happy and crazy and whatever else, seem to be bringing people down. We didn’t give a fuck about anything back then. It was a good time, in fact, it will always be one of the best times of my life. Things were new and exciting, but the metalic nagging shriek of, “TOMMY!” will always ring around like loose change in my memory bank. She was becoming a girl who’s bullshit and complaining sucked everyone into the drama of a relationship that they weren’t even in, through mere proximaty. This feeling continued pretty much until the last time I saw her which was years and years later.
Sure, we’ve kicked it by ourselves in more that one situation and gotten along alright, so I can definitely say that having a significant other there to fire off demands at played a part in lowering her social value, and that’s understandable. She has also played a mediator in a few situations of drama, but I wouldn’t say that was enough to cancel out the amount of drama that she had, at times, created herself. This is why I guarantee her past to unfold in no time. If you are one of the friends that was bitched about, or had to be approached by your friend on behalf of his girlfriend The 2 Coreys style, you have quite a bit of built up anger towards her. If you remember some of the specific drama you might be ready to blow.
Everyone knew she was prone to complaining and frustration, but when “Pizza T” arrived to school at Green River Community College one day after she had punched him in the face and left noticeable proof, it took it to another level. Obviously, he didn’t want to talk about it for too long at the time, it’s not the proudest moment you can have, but he did tell me what happened. She simply got upset about something trivial and punched him. Later, he called her out saying things like, “You fucking punched me in the head, Sarah!” It reminded me of Nanny 911 where things have gone too far and you can’t reverse time, all you can do is try to explain why what they did was excessive and wrong, all the while knowing that you can’t teach them why it’s wrong but can only help them learn that they can’t pull shit like that anymore. Later when we all moved to Olympia to attend The Evergreen State College shit escalated.
A bunch of us lived in a house on North St. across from a Masonic Lodge and down the street from the old Tumwater Brewery. It was a house where the rent was cheap because, otherwise, the owners would have had to pay to make it liveable for humans. There was a giant marijuana tapestry on the ceiling of the living room and from the street, you could see armed Marines in camo face-paint, which were cut from recruitment posters and taped in the windows like they were guarding the house. It was a shit hole and I slept on a couch that was always at least a little damp for some reason. A far cry from a Venice Coctail party. Sarah was always a little high maintenance for our crew, yet she lived in shitty places like this with us. She would talk with Tommy about how she wanted things in the house to be a certain way, or someone to move out, etc. etc. but she moved into a house that others lived in and tried to change it. Everyone else wanted her out because she would yell at everyone. General rule of thumb for anyone: If someone is not fucking you then they don’t have to put up with your shit. It got to the point where, if she ever even approached me with anything I would respond bluntly and firm to whatever she said, and make it clear that I wasn’t going to go into a conversation and listen to any of it. If I didn’t already agree, I don’t already agree, I don’t want anyone to try and work me over. She eventually moved out. She always needed everyone to tend to her and people weren’t getting sympathetic, they were getting pissed. Her powers didn’t work on me. She was just some chick I’d known for years and I was never attracted to her. She always kind of looked like a Gelfling to me anyway, but if she could work sympathy out of her looks she would have. You can’t really blame her, people adjust by what they are shown in through environments.
Sarah eventually rented a room in a house where one of our other good friends and former roommates had moved. There was a garage turned dance studio there. Sarah was still sewing up sundresses and trying to be earthy. She was studying an East Indian dance called Orisi which she would often bust out in the most innappropriate moments. Her “best friend” was my live-in girlfriend and we had our own place at that time. There were situations where I would reluctantly agree to go over to her place and have dinner. She would subtley put down my girlfriend in front of her and would always seem to try and show off her dance moves or body in some way. If I left the room to sit down, she would be in front of me in minutes shaking her hips and blocking my views/pathways. I wanted to put a gun to my dome in those situations. Sarah had made a few advances or inappropriate gestures towards me, even in front of the girlfriend and regardless of the fact that her boyfriend and I were friends. I became resentful in ways because, to me, it seemed like she could be very domineering towards my lady. I always felt that she would use her to make herself feel better. Her advances towards me may not have been necessarily “sexual”, but they were definitely innappropriate. I honestly believe that at the heart of everything was a need for focus and attention to be on her. I don’t think that she could even accept that someone loved someone else that was a good friend of hers, because the attention wasn’t all about her. It wasn’t about me or anyone else, I don’t think, I think it was about having the focus towards her at all times. If you disrespect someone that I love, I lose respect for you, it’s that simple. It’s quite possible that she had a lot going on, herself, that she didn’t verbalize within my earshot.
Sarah eventually hooked up with our former roommate of ours that she was living with in the new house now. Tommy found out and all hell broke loose, as you could imagine. They had been together for 6 years and it ended like that. At that point I was in a band with Pizza T and he would make all of his dramatic and drawn out phonecalls to her from my house. This was probably because I had more of a chill and welcoming environment to deal with such manners in than the chaotic environment he was living in. This was a bad time for me because, since Sarah was “best friends” with my girlfriend, she was always over as well. This drama eminated from my house and I didn’t want it there. I would often comment that I didn’t feel comfortable with her coming over anymore.
I’m still friends with the guy she wound up hooking up with, in fact. I haven’t even talked to Tommy in 2 years. We had a huge falling out which resulted in him blocking me from accessing our bands myspace page and posting bulletins and emails telling everyone (approx. 4,000 fans) that I had died of AIDS. Yeah, were are not friends, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not going to tell this story the way that I saw it. He got fucked over pretty hard and took it pretty hard. The guy she had transitioned to is the one that I’ve been talking with and who turned down offers to talk with publications. Interesting things are coming out from talks with everyone about this whole Clooney situation. The second boyfriend told me that he didn’t even know, until I just told him, that Sarah was still dating Tommy when they hooked up. I was catching the situation from all angles so I know that he sure as fuck thought they were. She said that they hadn’t been together for 3 months but I saw them together all of the time just prior. My girlfriend had seen them together regularly too, but she would relay bullshit like that to me from Sarah. “Well, she says they haven’t been together for 3 months.” Whatever. That’s a random things that some women decide. Don’t guess when you started dating ever! You started dating the minute that they decided that they wanted to in their own heads. Same thing when you break up. If they had decided at some point that they should break up with you and then find someone that they would rather fuck, it’s over and they “already told you“. It helps if they cut you off for a week or so first. That way they can always say that you knew about it. The logic is more than flawed, sure, but I can’t even say that she didn’t believe it. My girlfriend eventually went batshit psycho crazy and disappeared from our home one day. I should have seen it coming she used that same logic on me eventually. Another thing that they both did have in common as friends was that they were a little flighty. They hardcore believed in fairies and wanted to do shit like, “paint magic in the woods” or whatever other mystical bullshit they could think of. My ex-girlfriend once told me that she had actually left milk out for those fucking fairies and Sarah would tell me about transcending her physical body and travelling in spirit form around her house. Maybe they believe that they didn’t cheat on anyone. I don’t know maybe they didn’t. Maybe we don’t have the “magic potions” to see reality. Maybe, but I took the same “magic potions” that they did and probably more of it.
This was all around 2001. From a psychological standpoint, I would say the following. Sarah had been in a 6 year relationship and wanted to move out of it into something “new”. Tommy had the same issues, this was their only really serious relationship. The problems were that she didn’t have the integrity or sense to handle it correctly, from what I saw, and he was allowing it to continue and to be disrepected out of fear of the unknown without her. That’s what happens. It’s your first serious relationship. I got fucked over myself, it’s logical. Sometimes people actually don’t know how to hurt someone to theri face and make young, foolish decisions. Sarah‘s rude awakening happened when she thought that she could pull the same shit on the new guy and it didn’t fly. I know that she had lashed out and tried to strike him in the past too. He blocked it once and she hurt her self. She wasn’t always out punching everyone and being violent, but she was definitely known to trip and act a fool. She had become accustomed to having someone take whatever abuse she chose to dish out, and so she vented in that manner. He kicked her to the curb. The two guy’s became friends again and I saw Sarah out of default, until my girlfriend cooked us up lives as transient mental basketcases.
Last time that I saw Sarah was right after she hooked up with some goon named Dan Randolph. I met him twice, I think. I believe that they came into the Rang Dong once which, in it’s heyday, was the greatest Vietnamese Karaoke bar of all time. He didn’t seem to be very interesting or fitting. They moved to Vegas. Next I hear, she’s on Fear Factor shortly after. She actually wins after that guy basically carries her. Here’s where some debate comes into play. The Fear Factor site labels Sarah Larson as a “Go-Go dancer“. Pizza T‘s letter denies this claim, but it’s just wishful thinking. How would he know? Sorry but it’s true. If you don’t want to hear that and you believe that everything you’ve read on the internet is true, you can stop now. I died of AIDS 2 years ago, so who gives a shit about what I’m about to type anyway? A source I know who worked at the production company for Fear Factor told me that she was scouted Go-Go dancing. I was informed that they actually had to call her down off of a pole to offer her a spot on the show. The problem with tabloids and media is that it’s like the game of telephone. Go-go dancer can be changed very easily into a stripper when skewed. From there, that get’s morphed into hooker and eventually you are a crack whore murderer running a child-porn ring. Apparently, Cocktail waitress gets morphed into Actress/Model fairly easily too, because as far as anyone I know is informed, that’s a load of bullshit too. That’s why nobody can find anything on her, because they are typing in “actress/model” on their search engines, instead of “Random Chicks From Kent“.
With questions like, “Does she want to hide her background?” being asked by Hollywood, she’s becoming an enigma. I don’t know if she is trying to hide anything. I do know that she doesn’t look that comfortable in the pictures that I’ve seen. It’s got to be an overwhelming experience to have to absorb for someone. Maybe nobody has asked her anything. Last I heard she was supposed to marry that guy she was on Fear Factor with, but that obviously didn’t happen. She got a B.S. degree from Evergreen and then up and moved to Vegas. I’m not trying to attack or hurt anyone, but I’m not ashamed of my background and I’ve been in a mental health unit. Then again, I’m not trying to be a politician or a Hollywood darling. She’s just a girl who had occasionally displayed some selfish tendancies and became clearly too high maintenance for the crowd she was involved with. Maybe she felt that she wanted to get “somewhere” even if she didn’t know where that place was. Maybe all that she knew was that her current environments weren’t gong to nurture that. Most likely, she didn’t really piece it together all that in depth, but rather just reacted. She didn’t have a severe drug addiction, or drown a baby. It’s not that interesting. What’s interesting to me is that she went from E to E!, from Patchouli to Prada, from Orisi to Go-go….actually, her Orisi always had quite a bit of Go-Go in it. I say, “Good luck in the game?” I personally would represent where I came from and maybe she will. If I was in her position, I wouldn’t be worrying about how mysterious I might appear to the public. At this point, especially with such drastic transitions, I would be wondering about if I was still a mystery to myself. Your background only has an effect of you if you want something specific to happen. If you are a gangster rapper, the public finding out that you haven’t offed anyone can actually fuck up your career, but, like the slogan for the new Clooney film Michael Clayton states “The Truth Can Be Adjusted“. If anyone knows that, it’s the media.

“anon (12:05:38) :
I’m quite sure GC or his PR guy subscribe to a clipping service. GC is not sitting at home reading these sites (pretty sure). He gets it all in one go, on a regular basis, from his service.”
For a while I have been sitting back reading your posts and at first I thought, a fan, fine. Then I started to think, okayyy, she (or he) is close to Sarah and wants to defend her, fine. Now I am starting to think you are someone much closer to Sarah (or GC) than being one of her many “friends”.
How do you know that GC is not home reading these sites (pretty sure)? How do you know that he gets his clipping service (which is an industry term by the way – giving away a little too much here…) giving to him in one go?
Tell me, if GC gets his clippings in one go, is this daily, weekly or monthly (doubt it would be monthly)?
Me starting to think you are part of GC’s PR/marketing team… Do you happen to work for Stan?
Yes, I agree with you Anon. At the USA, the “prosecutor” must prove you’re guilty not that you’re innocent. So to the best of our knowledge, she is not a *w..
or anything else..
If there is someone to blame here is George Clooney, not Sarah Larson…
I don’t like how all this Sarah’s affair has been handle since the beginning. Too dubious, and George Clooney claiming his private life must be respected and paps who just happened to be there taking photos … Amazing thing to a man who know how to cover his tracks very well.
Btw, Anon you waste a lot of time at gossip blogs and know many gossip websites just to be a person who hate them…
will this comment go thru? i had to read near all of those posts and the reply is at the bottom of near 200 of them or more.
i am hoping this comment gets posted so i dont have to type 2 pages and it doesnt go thru.
I
Boy happiness, or should I say…guest1(Clooneyfiles)…or organzeitu(IMDb)…you sure do have some issues with Mr. Clooney et al. Are you a stalker or something? You post your venomous shit EVERYWHERE! And I know it’s you by the writing style or lack thereof.
Are you the fat girl that Georgie rejected over at Warner Bros and his friends laughed at, when you insisted that you were his soul mate? You are sure on a mission to wreck his reputation, you must be her! LOL Honey…take your own chill pill! Who cares who he screws, really dear? Does it make any actual difference in your life….really?
Oh yeah, have a nice day…namaste…peace out! Hahahaha
stfu: you must not have read deadc’s intro, or much of anything else he has said here, to reach that conclusion.
for those of you who think i am part of GC’s entourage, i have one word for you: wrong.
i am not GC; i am not SL; i am not related to either GC or SL; i am not a consultant to GC; i do not work with Stan.
i made these comments for the reasons stated, to counterbalance a cesspool of gossip, innuendoes, and slander. you have no proof. what you have (apparently in ample supply) is venom, hate, and anger, toward people you do not know. just wanna’s ‘perception IS reality’ more or less exemplifies how you so cavalierly blur the line between fact and fiction.
happiness — thanks for the daily drivel. i had a good laugh.
my personal opinion is that people like happiness and stfu should have to pass a test before being allowed to use a communications device (computer, typewriter, etc.). sort of like passing a driver’s license test.
i wouldn’t be so sure that your first amendment rights protect you from slandering/defaming a ‘private’ person such as SL. i think you are protected from GC’s attorneys due to his celebrity status. but from what i know, you are wide open to a lawsuit if SL chooses now (or in the future) to go after you. your comments can easily be traced to you. your comments will live on the Internet forever, so there’s ample time for someone to decide to take action.
so you can think about that prospect the next time you call SL a ho. if it were me? i would go after you (legally).
happiness has replaced stfu as the new idiot on the block:
“rest of you-these are just my opinions, but if i do say so myself-they are pretty cool..(smile)”
A random pick as if someone won the lottery? Shes just a lucky winner I suppose. hehe
Sarah Larson has no grounds for a lawsuit, UNLESS she can prove all the allegations are false. Good luck with that.
Of course, it might be helpful if exhibit A (for the defense) wasn’t her vagina, open and smiling at us from several positions. You can be traced, but its almost impossible to do so (from your Internet provider), UNLESS you break the law, and in order to prove you’ve broken the law they need facts to the contrary, ROTFLMAO I don’t see that coming anytime soon.
I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. Especially if its Sarah Larson who could, I doubt she has the time, her mouth is always full at work and with George, so she doesn’t have time to talk.
George Clooney does not have a case, UNLESS he can prove all of the allegations are false, and he knows it, and knows better.
Hi Happiness, like your post. Don’t worry about the name calling, if you weren’t close to the truth, you’d be ignored.
Peace out:-)
I’d like to bring two things to attention.
The first is that this article was written when Sarah was only known as a “mystery girl” it clearly takes on new context after photos and info has been released.
The second is that ANON was actually one of the people who has been posting the longest so comments referring to “Clooney’s people finally posting” are not accurate. This is person, I believe an individual with their own ideas, who’s been on here longer than most of you.
I think it’s unfortunate that due to my limited filtering of comments that anyone should feel that this is intended to be a hateful gossip forum. That’s where people take freedom. Although you are welcome to continue it is important for me to state again that these comments are your decisions and not the intention of this site.
Some choose to support Clooney and/or Sarah because they believe certain things about these “personalities” and choose to endorse them to the end. Many of you feel that there is no “proof” or reason to do so. I somewhat agree with that. The ironic part is that the people who are offended by their viewpoints choose to make unfounded claims and attack people due to lack of “proof” or any sort of evidence and that’s a pretty fucking ignorant move on your own parts.
There is a mob mentality that interests me even though it’s an incredibly weak angle to take and it’s kind of fucked up. The psychology of it still interests me and the mob has shifted several times. At times it’s pro Clooney and pro Sarah and the doubters are all attacked. Then it shifts to whoever supports them are attacked. The group wins giving electronic high fives to eachother based on whoever supports what they feel at the time. It becomes “truth” if others agree with it? Whatever.
Someone needs to be blamed if your beliefs are tarnished. “Clooney is being brought down by this woman!” Really? Maybe he’s just some guy you turned into a god. Can’t hate yourself because you’ve been swindled? That’s what I think. Stop creating idols for yourself maybe. Both sides are being manipulated. Gods or Demons. Whatever side you take it is still based on media and propaganda. Feel free to preach about your inside scoops and what you know as insiders or from what you’ve been fed through media outlets but, if you really do know anything, you should know that you haven’t found anything that’s a secret and you haven’t uncovered any documents from these other sources that were confidential. Whether they were pro or against they’ve been all laid out for you to repeat like a set up based on the agenda of others.
The reason that there are a very limited amount of original ideas being presented lately are because there aren’t discussions in this forum, there are mostly only attacks and defensive comments. It’s basically a “red scare” and anyone that doesn’t believe what someone else is dishing out, which is only fourth hand info from some PR machine, must be “COMMUNISTS” or the equivalent there of.
Some people just offer links and news and opinions, that’s true. Some do. Others hate eachother because they don’t believe that George Clooney is a super amazing angel from the heavens “as they should” or because they don’t believe that he is a crack smuggling porn fiend “like they should”. Hmm….ever wonder how easy or difficult it is to start a war based on false accusations and non-existent weapons of mass destruction, or to recruit people for a maliciously violent religious crusade? You can stop wondering. These posts wreak of infected human nature. Yeah, there might be a conspiracy here, but nobody seems to be putting there fingers on what it is and where it’s really coming from because they’re all too busy perpetuating it.
Ayoye!!!
I have a lot to read and translate..lolll…my god!!!
Bravo Anon!!!

ANY ISP who gets a court order to cough up your computer’s net address, and yes, your IDENTITY (based on a lawsuit for libel and defamation), will turn it over to the courts in a nanosecond. They do it every day, because they HAVE to. If you do not think this is so, then you are legally illiterate.
Once a libel/slander suit has been filed, a process of ‘discovery’ begins, whereby attorneys from each side ask defendants/plaintiffs and relevant parties (such as ISPs) for information. You will then have the stressful task of hiring at attorney to defend you, or trying to defend yourself. In either scenario, I say, “Good Luck”, because you will need it. The decision as to whether you have broken the law, and whether you can be held accountable, and if so at what cost to you, well, that all comes much (and tens of thousands of dollars) later…so be sure and get those pennies in the bank. If you are lucky, he will only send you a ‘cease and desist’ letter.
People get sued for libel all the time. I absolutely think you should worry about it; you are playing Russian roulette. No, SL would likely not have the legal funds necessary, but GC certainly does, and he may just decide to go after someone (or several) to prove a point.
You have had months to come up with ‘proof’ that SL is a paid escort, and you have not been able to do so. As far as I am concerned, it’s a no brainer that you would lose any libel suit. She is a private individual whom you are slandering on the Internet, no less, for the entire world to see. How many people worldwide have access to the Internet? THAT figure would almost certainly be brought up by GC’s attorneys. Count on it.
Molly, I think you are probably the most vulnerable, given that your posts have been the crudest of all (this last one shows your true colors). I am curious about why little red stars on photos seem to trigger (for you at least) imaginary vaginal sightings? SL’s vagina is nowhere to be seen, dearie. Perhaps ‘reason’ does not guide you after all. You have nothing to go on but photos with little stars on them. How pathetic.
Here’s what a libel suit looks like….go to TMZ for details.
“New York City Drug Enforcement agents are unhappy with the way they are depicted in Denzel Washington’s new movie, “American Gangster,” and now one of them is threatening legal action against Universal for what he claims are “false and defamatory statements.”
TMZ has obtained a cease and desist letter sent by Dominic Amorosa, attorney for Gregory Korniloff, to the General Counsel of NBC Universal, and cc’d to the President of the studio.”
Cheers!

I just want to say that Im starting to see this is a witch hunt type of scary spread of negativity and I’m sorry for participating in it. I apologize to Sarah and George and to all of you who read what I wrote. Peace.
Oookkaaayyy doookkkaaayyy, anyone here with a law degree and clarify the “you will get sued angle”.
I don’t live in the land where “suing” someone is part of having breakfast. So would be interested to hear from someone with a law degree based in the good all U. S. of A.
And yes, all comments are traceable to the IP address – but goodness, that would take an awful lot of time and money for comments that have to be proven wrong, and in the meantime, a lot of other “insights” will be put on the table which I’m sure none of the parties involved would like to divulge as “truth”.
Anon
Also, whilst I don’t agree with many of the comments being made here, I do find the whole “you will get sued” angle a little bit bitter and a scare tactic. If nothing else works, bring out the sued word! Sorry, I am cynical as I don’t live in a culture were suing is an automatic response – yet. We are slowly becoming a little too Americanised. Some things are very welcome; this one is not in my books.
By all means, disagree and put up a good fight. I have said many times on this board that it needs to be balanced so a different point of view is definitely welcome in my books. And yes, there is a bit of a mob mentality here, but like Deadc stated, this changes with time, shifts back and forth etc.
Anon,
While I know nothing about the internet and libel, I think it would be odd for GC to sue. The mainstream media and tabloid shows have never (to my knowledge) shown any or mentioned any of the “nine girl videos”, they have never mentioned sl as anything other than “beautiful” and “classy” and on Fear Factor.(not even TMZ that I know of) If GC decided to sue, the videos and photos would go mainstream, as would what was being said in the blogs, they would not perpetuate the image that the GC pr machine wants portrayed. It would be hard to sell “classy” when you’ve seen “classless”. And I don’t think that even good old Stan could spin it away at that point. JMO
L sweetie,
I’ve enjoyed your posts. (And totally off the subject of this blog, are there any clubs that you would recommend in Vegas that are on the tamer side that don’t cost an arm and a leg to have a drink at? (thinking of a family-type Vacation in Vegas in the near future and don’t have the six figure income.thanks)
Well..dead C :-)
At the begining , I came here and just read all the comment.
First : this is really hard time for me to express well myself with the write term/sentence or word and , second, it was really intersting and satisfies my curiosity.
But comments became very hard and goes only to a direction, and then , I had the impression to find me in the Middle Ages with the priests of inquisition.
The reason why I support SL here , is that I beleive that we all have several facets in our personality and depend of the road we take , the person we meet , we nourish certain tendencies more than others, and sometimes some in harm of others.
The most difficult is to avoid plates, whatever is our style of life.
The look of others constitutes one of the danger, the others can form an impassable circle and lock us up in epoch or a tendency, just because of the way they look at them and the stopped judgement which they carry on us.
I know this article and this forum is a little place, like a simple flapping of wings of a butterfly, but it could produce damage.
SL video’s and picture’s trips etc.. that I saw here come from a short period of her life and a few year’s ago, this stock is debatable, of course but it does not take from her his chances to grow up know.
To finish, I’m a lucky and beautiful 37 year’s woman, I do a lot of incursion in many way to live a life, in many circle, some people saw me as a bright student with full of promise, other saw me at the ‘beaux art’ wasting my talent, some other saw me as a photograh and barmaid in seaside station loosing my time and just having fun, other saw me as a lost soul in after hour raves, other saw me as a buisness woman in real estate and I recently became a senior in financing for producer, tv producer…without HEC certificates.
Why I am telling you all of this ? the link with SL???
( I look like a gelfling me too :-)) I did so many stupid thinks me too, but some people beleived in me and give me the opportunity to grow up, they give me a chance.
I did not remain prisoner of ‘biggots’ looks becaus of my particular way of life.
SL actually has a big circle of looks around her…and I feel ( yes this is just a feeling) that SL could do better and anyway she deserve a chance to grow up like anyone else.
From Patchouli to Prada? numerous of big actual destiny was hippies in 1970…
And for people who speak here about GC role in Darfour…I think that people of this country , particulary the women, could teach it to us a lot concerning the way we judge each others.
I’m done :-P
Thank you DeaDC to give me the opportunity to express myself and learning me more about SL…lolll.
P.S : Anon.. big pleasure to read you.
Charly/Charlie….
Love
and
Peace!!!
P.S
I know DeadC you don’t care…but…lolll…I practise a lot english last day’s and I must thank you for that.
:-P
Ruby142: Thank you for acting responsibly. I too have said things I regret, so let me add to your apology. As deadc has said all along, SL and GC are just human (albeit in GC’s case, with a little more wealth than most). Peace.
Deadc: From what I have read, you cannot be held legally accountable for the opinions expressed on your site. That’s my understanding of it. Even so, some online sites such as NYTimes (I think…would have to check) and others do monitor their comment sections. They don’t allow free-for-alls such as has taken place here (i.e., the vulgarities by Molly, and semi-deranged STFU soapbox posts). They refuse to provide a forum for it. ww.clooneystudio.com no longer allows comments due to the ‘bashing’ that developed after they posted pics this summer. And none of what appeared on their site was nearly as slanderous as what I have seen here.
WB: I do understand. I’m actually anti-attorney, anti-lawsuit (in general) myself. But the law is the law. What would really be sad is if someone here didn’t know that, and blabbed on and on thinking they were ‘just having fun’, and GC’s legal team decided to go after them. By having said this, however harsh it may come across, at least they now know. Agreed. We live in a very litigious society. And the more money you have, the more attorneys become a fixture in your life (meaning GC probably retains five or six at any given time — at least). My exboss dealt with at least 15 or so fairly regularly. You should have seen the bills! These guys (attorneys) will go after anyone and anything.
The question is, is there really anything ELSE to talk about here? Because by any measure, this topic can’t roll any longer. As deadc said, it’s been going nowhere for some time. So, let’s move on.
Peace.
One more thing —
Charly — Thanks! I enjoyed reading your post. It’s a little strange seeing some of the words used in those contexts, but, I understand what you are saying all the same.
Quedice — Good point actually. Several here better hope that you are right. But he’s also known to be a man of conviction, so I would not rule it out.
Peace,
Anon
First I tried to catch up and read the last round of comments but there isn’t enough time in the day.
I started off making fun of Sarah Larsen and her nine.com videos but is possible that’s been taken too far now?
I wanted to throw a wrench in here quickly, and point out that it’s a pretty sad state of affairs for women; post modern; that we supposedly have equality w/ men — but then get called a whore, an actual legitimate whore — for behaving like a man?
Sorry. I know it seems like I’m flip-flopping, but I was making fun of her intelligence and that makes me mean. Calling her out as a whore and possible diseased, even venomously referring to her dead father, kind of crosses the line from mean-spirited to vicious and defamatory. Let’s rope it in ladies, seriously.
Back to my point though. This isn’t the middle east, women here can do what they want, in and out of bed. To all the women on this board, we’re actually sort of taking steps backwards in the direction our gossip went.
Anon,
I’m terrified, really. I think SL & GC have much more to lose by presuing ANY action against anyone, then anyone here, or in the blogs. Do you really think SL or GC want their sex lives investigated and pulled out in the open?? I think not. As for the rest of your usual drivel, please refer to my last post. It stiil stands.
I don’t think Molly has been any more or less cruder then many who have posted her, but that’s one man’s opinion.
I’m an accountant, and have dealt with attorneys from time to time. In order to invade Molly’s privacy, they need to prove there is sufficient evidence as to slander/libel/etc. Regardless of how rich or famous you are, you cant get a court order for anyone ISP without probably cause and a few words on a computer screen, joined by others, myself included, isn’t enough.
George Clooney is not stupid and he wont go after a woman because she repeated what someone else said. To sue Molly (or anyone else here) he needs to first sue and win a case against the woman Molly quoted (don’t remember who she is) and then go after Molly etc.
Yes, it is stressful on both parties, and time consuming for everyone involved to pursue legal action it also leaves a nasty stain on everyone’s reputation. Surely Clooney doesn’t need the attention, and nor does Larson, at any junction of her life.
As for the case you quoted on TMZ the key word here is ‘considering’ legal action. Mr. Washington’s movie didn’t name him, the offended person, personally, or anyone in the current drug enforcement division. So, his not liking the portrayal of officers from years ago is understandable, but has no bearing on him or the current bureau, if they’re clean. Its a waste of his time and money and he will lose. Which is why he is ‘considering’ and is instead sending a CAD letter.
You need more then hurt feelings to win a lawsuit and unless you are lilly white in everything you’ve done in your life, if you can avoid a public discussion about your personal life, do so at all costs. I’ve seen good people get ruined because they didn’t know when to take their balls and go home.
I don’t think Clooney really wants everyone to know about the rumors and stories about him sexuality and I am sure Sarah doesn’t want everyone to see her pictures (by the way, the red dots, can mean anything, but in the past they’ve usually meant an absence of underwear not a sitting or posing mistake by a woman) the videos or hear the stories. Regardless of how long ago they were, it wasn’t that long ago. It doesn’t paint her as a whore, but it doesn’t paint her as being above being paid for dinner, or partying, or whatever.
As I said, I am not an attorney, but I’ve worked with several (none of this caliber) but its a really murky field and one, if you can, to be avoided at all cost.
I don’t understand what all the drama is about. If Clooney continues true to form, and so far, he is, he isn’t going to marry this girl. In a few months she’ll leave with some fond memories, notoriety, and her name in the pop history books. Her picture will join Krista,Jennifer, Celine, and every other women he has dated for any length of time or had his picture taken with.
So they lied about her past at first, big deal. Think what would have happened if the stories, pictures and videos had come out while they were at the festival with press from around the world? In their shoes, I would have lied too.
Cut her some slack, him too, Let her enjoy her time, its not forever, its for now, she deserves a break, so does he.
Fascinating, absolutely fucking fascinating!
Can’t wait till George moves on though – these comments will dry up faster than a wad of spit from a 30 year-old camel in the Sahara Desert.
Wait, do camels live that long? Shit, I don’t know. LOL Some days I’ve just gotta entertain myself and not worry about what others might think.
One thing George’s fans (and enemies too) can always count on – he will move on – anyone hear anything about Krista anymore? No, didn’t think so.
Sarah will go back to her life and the bright light that has been shining on her privates will no longer be as glaring. Some of us, however, will never be the same for having seen the shots. I have nightmares, little red stars follow me trying to attach themselves! Okay, maybe not, but you never know. I might get Delayed Red-Star Syndrome! It’s new – it’s not in the medical journals so don’t try to google it!
Oh but this isn’t about me, is it?
Back to SL.
She’ll go back to Vegas or maybe Starbucks-town (isn’t that what they call all the towns in Washington?) meet a nice guy who doesn’t mind she was in the limelight for a time, settle down, have kids and hope that one day they don’t come across the pictures from her past – because what gets on the internet stays on the internet.
She’ll tell her grandkids, “Yes, grandma did date a famous actor for a while.” “He flew me around the world; I wore jewels that I could never afford in my entire lifetime.” “For a time, everyone knew my name.” “So, some were spelling it with an ‘H’, but that’s okay, they were just jealous.” “I remember that time with fondness.”
And when her grandkids ask where George is now she’ll reply, “Oh, he’s become a recluse.” “He sits all day in his villa in Italy in a burgundy satin robe with matching pajamas.” “And that old buzzard, he still has it.” “Three beautiful young women live with him.” “They take turn changing his diapers and when they reach 30 he changes them too.”
Yes, they both lived happily ever after.
The End.
I thought of the funniest story to write on here, and this is met as a joke, so please just Laugh!!!
The first phone call between Sara Larson and George Clooney….
GC-Hi there, Jen, uh uh Sara. It’s George, George Clooney.
SL-Hi, he he he
GC-Remember I met you at the Ocean’s 13 premiere in L.V. I couldn’t get the image of you bending over in your short little skirt out of my head
SL-he he he
GC-I just wanted you to know that I am friends with Brad Pitt, and when his wife isn’t around, I can actually introduce you to him
SL-Really, he he he
GC-So there Missy, how about I make you a flight out to Europe. Don’t worry, you’ll get your job back, and I can even pay you for your loss wages.
SL-he he he
GC-And don’t think you won’t be taken care of, I have a 10 million dollar vila in Italy, a sweet yacht, and my own personal chef, do you like fish sticks Sara?
SL-he he
GC-Oh yeah, then after a week of getting acquainted, if your a good girl and you like me, I can even put you on People magazine.
SL-really, he he
GC-yeah and if you don’t have anything to wear, I can get you an armani dress, and you can get some borrowed jewels from one of my jewelers that always hooks me up
SL-really he he he
GC-Don’t worry deary, everything is going to be taken care of, just bring your cute butt, a smile, and do you still have that skimpy waitress outfit?
SL-he he
GC-ok, plans are set, what’s your last name again? Oh, and if your a good girl, beside being on tv, you can even accompany me to my premiere of Michael Clayton. Sound good?
SL-he he he
Come on that was funny. In all seriousness, I have been offered to travel/go on vacation wth some D listers after only knowing them for about 2 hours. It happens, the celebrity meets a girl that has the look he likes, then within minutes offers you a vacation, your own room, you can bring a friend, and your own personal chef, all expenses included. Now would that make me their girlfriend? NO!!!
I had to make fun of the fact that he met her once in LV then flew her out, and then bam she’s his girlfriend. It’s still fishy to me. It kinda reminds me of Snoop Dog’s video girls.
Now, I’m glad it wasn’t me that hooked up with GC at his premier in LV.
Quendice,
if it’s a family vacation, try Circus Circus, they have an amusment park in the hotel. It’s 30 dollars a night, call and get a deal first. You might want to try cheaptickets.com or spiritair.com. Just make sure you do it in advance or the prices go up. The beds are hard at the circus circus, but if you want an economy hotel for kids, it’s not that bad. Also, one might try craigslist.org, and rent a funished house for a weekend. If you fly in, always rent a car, cabs are expensive and the parking is free. Good luck on your vacation. I would need to know a lot more information on what your looking for and the money you want to spend in order to be a proper entertainment director. Thanks…Oh, if you wanted to visit SL’s bar it’s like 20 or 30 bucks for males to get into the playboy/moon bar. Try going on Craigslist and type in free passes, a lot of promoters advertise there. I went into the hard rock hotel’s restaurant and the bartender pulled out this huge box full of free passes, before I was a resident. That is a good way to do it, if you want to check out some local expensive bars. The drinks are at least 10 bucks a piece, but they are strong and worth it. I could help you more if you were a girl, then I could get you into a lot of places for free. Actually wait, I probably can help you out with free passes to moon, it’s actually a nice place, and then you can see where SL met GC, and you can post it on here, he he.
I apologize to deadc also…
Also, my apologies for errors, I dont spell check, and just finished reading that it annoys some.
I’m heading off for vacation (just got our comfirmation. I’m taking Anna to the south of France to visit her parents), and wont be back for two weeks.
Ive learned a lot here, not sure its helpful in the real world, but you can never know, right?
Take care.
K
Kyle
Those are really great points. For some reason I hope Sarah Larson is Clooney’s true love. Only time will tell and everyone knows that relationships take lots of energy. GC is an extremely busy person and it would take a certain kind of person to put up with his schedule and celebrity status.
Why are people apologizing to me? Seriously.
LOL Deadc – don’t worry, I won’t be apologising to you! I hope that makes you feel better ;-)
Computer IP addresses change if you still use a dial up service, it’s usually the last 2 numbers and it is also possible to change your IP address if you use a service such as DSL. They are easy to change if you have a knowledge of computers. As far as suing for things stated over the internet it has to be proven who the person was who did the posting, if there is more than one person who lives at the location of the IP address in question it then becomes a much harder task to prove who did the actual posting.
While I do not believe that SL is a whore she is by definition a mistress: “A woman who is in a sexual relationship with, and typically is financially supported by, a man without being married to him.” And no it is not just if the man she is in a sexual relationship is married. A mistress can also be considered a prostitute, but it too would have to be proven that she did it with the sole purpose of some kind of payment…be it a career, tangible item or money. As far as the little red stars, it could just be there for the illusion that there more is to be seen, but if there is more to be seen I don’t think they would not want to try to take that issue to court and have to show the pictures as evidence. I think that SL saw an opportunity and went for it and now it has gotten out of hand and her skeletons are starting to come out of the closet. At the young age(and yes 28 is still young) she is still quite impressionable, especially by someone with the resources and ability to give her more than she had. While it has been printed that SL is his girlfriend, GC has never referred to her as his girlfriend. If he even mentions SL it is usually as “her” or “she”. Maybe he does not consider her his girlfriend or maybe he has had so many girls he forgets her name.
I believe that GC dates younger woman because someone closer to his own age would be on an Intellectual and maturity level closer himself, thus not giving him the upperhand in the relationship. I do believe that there is something going on in GC life that is affecting him both physcially phsycologically. He is starting to drink more than he did before and is very thin, two traits that I saw in my dad when he was only 43 years old. An alcoholic does not drink for the taste they drink to cope with things in there lives that they do not have control over. Things such as loneliness, depression, fear of failing and an overwelming workload are just a few of the things.
As far as the comment that he made to the pap as he was starting up his motorcycle…uuuh can we say sarcasim. I worked retail for over 20 years and whenever we had a customer that we thought was a jerk we would just smile and say “thank you, have a nice day” when what we wanted to say was “kiss my ass” or something not near as nice as that. But GC wouldn’t say that now would he, because he knew he was being recorded.
Sorry for such a long post, but I just wanted to add my two cents or maybe in this case three cents, about some of the recent post. Reading these post are such fun and I need to do something for entertainment since motorcycle season is over for at least three to four months where I live.
hello molly,
thank you. appreciate your compliment. you have a way with words.
****A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO MY “BUDDY ANON!!!!!!”**********************
anon
you are the one spitting the venom. so you think i am some fat girl from warner? hmmm… so who are you really? karma is a real bite just remember that. i am everywhere but then again….SO ARE YOU! (wink,wink)
the only issues i have is when people act like juveniles, arseholes, or purposely mislead others for their own benefit. if you have such an issue darling, then perhaps we could meet for coffee and you can air out your grievances. oh, that is right! all hollywood types can talk a good game but are too wimpy to follow up on it. then again from what i hear, your types have the stalking thing down pat….wink…wink
i would not worry exactly who i am. from what i can see your buddy “george” and warner have a helluva lot more to be concern about these days. i love it when i post everywhere as you say. this is EXACTLY how you get to the bottom of things. another thing, from what i hear if it has a vagina clooney more than likely will touch it. then again doesn’t any horny man who cannot keep it in their pants has the same mindset? so go ahead and bslap yourself for me. you have earned it. another thing, if you do boneheads things with women like clooney is/has been doing then it is open season. other than this clooney is okay for the most part. it is the jackarse company he is keeping (if you know what i mean)
so if george rejected some fat girl at warner then i truly hope he and his pals have not tried to ruin her life or career. that is a common thing in hollywood, but i do know that happens to skinny people too. (wink)
next time you go jerking your chain in my direction, you better watch it! it might come back around and slap you in your head. then again that might be just what the doctor ordered.
so as molly said earlier–truth hurts! so cork it anon!
by the way….have a BEAUTIFUL AND BLESSED DAY!
deadc- everybody is apologizing because you seem to be a real cool, and mellow guy who wrote a interesting blog. the funny thing, it is like you are drawn into mediation mode.
Justwannapokemyeyesoutdamnit! and Lsweetie – very funny! lol
I needed that laugh after all the seriousness of law suits etc.
Anon – I getcha, I really really do. But in all honesty, if you want to move on, then move on. Others may not want to and it is their right to stay on. You have made your point loud and clear about suing and how far not to go, to the extend that you have some people apologising and regretting their behaviour etc. And yes, I do understand that people change their minds about things/behavious etc., we all do. No problems there. I think it will be a case to agree to disagree. If posters wish to continue making negative comments about Sarah and George, so be it. It is their decision. If others don’t, fine, so be it as well. Nothing you and I or anyone else can do about it – and that is the beauty of living in a democratic environment with freedom of speech. I would hate to feel restricted and feel scared to speak up. Just like you feel passionate about not making negative comments about GC and SL, I feel passionate about restriction on freedom of speech. Been there done that, will never be made to feel that way again.
Kyle – have a wonderful trip! The South of France is soooo beautiful, enjoy!!
Deadc – are you getting emoticons in that swanky new forum of yours you keep on mentioning? Typing without emoticons is just about killing me! :-/
A true news story today:
George Clooney and Don Cheadle to receive award from Nobel Peace Prize Laureates
The 8th World Summit of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates will present actors George Clooney and Don Cheadle with the 2007 Peace Summit Award at its annual meeting in Rome in December.
The World Summit, which will open on December 13, is produced and hosted by the office of Walter Veltroni, Mayor of Rome, and the Gorbachev Foundation.
The award will be presented by Mayor Veltroni, President Gorbachev, and other Laureates attending the Summit. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is among the Laureates attending.
A spokesman for the Summit said the award is being presented to the actors “for their efforts in promoting peace in war-torn region of Darfur, and for their commitment to saving human lives and alleviating the suffering of civilian victims of the conflict”.
“I am always moved,” said Archbishop Desmond Tutu, “when I see artists such as George and Don use their positions to speak up for the most vulnerable of our fellow human beings. They have brought the suffering in Sudan into the awareness of millions, and have raised tens of millions of dollars to assist the victims of violence there. They inspire us all and show that every person, in every walk of life, can do something to help make the world a better place.”
********************
Now here’s my problem. Seriously, is he going to take Ms. Larson as his guest to this? Does she get to meet the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu? And what do they say to the gal with the red stars on her priv… I mean pictures? “Nice to finally meet you in person. I’ve seen your promo pictures?” “Nice…um, stars?”
Look, I don’t care that he dates her. I don’t care that she took the pics – really, I don’t, it’s her ass out there for all to see. What bothers me is that he has the opportunity to really make a difference (yes, still) but he keeps screwing around, literally and figuratively, with women who have made stupid decisions in their lives – and the proof of it is on the net.
So each time he does this, he looses more credibility with me. How long before his status starts to wane and then his effectiveness in what he’s trying to do? We’ve seen the amount of uproar it’s created here, what happens when mainstream no longer needs his star power and they turn on him too?
People are most vicious when they feel they have been duped and lied to. And that’s what’s going to happen if George continues his “do-gooder” persona in public while continuing his sleaze bucket actions in private.
Who is George really? A guy who is trying to live up to some fantasy he determined would make him cool? Like Frank Sinatra banging the babes at night, and hanging with the boys during the day? What George keeps forgetting is that in Frank’s time they didn’t have the internet. So the PR guys were able to control what info went out. That’s not possible now. The internet is instantaneous. It can ruin a career and a life in an instant.
When George started dating Sarah I commented on a forum that I hope she’s what she seems. A small town gal, who works as a waitress but does have some education. But then I said, “I’m just wondering how long before the crotch-shots appear.” I was being funny, at least I thought I was. So can you imagine my disappointment when they did show up?
Some here have commented that people are laughing AT George and not WITH him. I have to agree. It’s just a matter of time before he’s no longer seen as the “son of journalist” as he likes to call himself and a major movie actor. I just hope his legacy doesn’t end up being the guy who used to be somebody till the public turned on him caused they found out he lied to them one too many times.
Dead C..you finaly make me laught..oufff !…I cry..man..you ask for new angle..loll..you have it!! I know..I’m stupid..I do apologize me too…but I steel crying…to laught!
Besides the World Summit of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate’s award, Michael Clayton thus far has generated 61.4 million in ticket sales. It’s one of the few Fall dramas to show considerable profit.
So, while you expend what little intelligence you possess on talk of genitalia, GC continues being incredibly successful.
Kudos to GC!

i actually believe there are not that many ‘fans’ who are THAT interested in GC’s sex life or his partners. not everyone feels it is their right to judge someone else’s private activites (or perhaps has better things to do). let’s say you visit the dali lama’s enclave, and miracle of miracles, are granted an audience. you stand there and bleat: “but she shook her booty at a party! and look at that little red star, dali, what do you think it means? we all think she doesn’t wear panties. can you help us unravel this cosmic mystery? a great many of us are in a pain due to lack of certainty!”
safe to say, desmond tutu and the dali (and most of the rest of the world since you bring it up) have far different priorities than yours.
GC’s celebrity status will never wane. he’s an institution, and no ‘web mob mentality’ such as that in evidence here is going to change that. his recent film pulled in very good business in Europe (Italy in particular). he’s not just an American celebrity, he is a worldwide celebrity, who is actively using his celebrity status to do good in this world.
you haven’t been fed any lies. you invented a persona that doesn’t exist, then got all upset when the real life guy didn’t conform to your rules (married and 2.1 children). Deal.
Have a nice day (stewing).
Cheers!

stfu’s lunacy has officially been replaced by happiness’s. at least stfu said things that were so off the wall and so on-the-verge-of-psychosis that it was at times funny.
happiness’s posts smack of a new, baser mind-set presented to us in a cloak of middle-brow zealotry. (apropos of nothing, why do i think he lives in a basement?) he will no doubt be shocked (and angered) when some of us say, “well, no, we do not agree with your opinions”.
like the ghouls in ‘night of the living dead’ they just keep on coming.
Yes, George does continue to be successful to a point, but all things end, even for a middle aged man, who drinks like a fish and prefers to find his dates on stripper poles or wait in line for sloppy seconds.
Happiness, keep it up, the more you get insulted the closer you are to the truth. Sarah would attack, but, like I said, she’s pretty busy, work, work, work. This is the tourist season in Las Vegas or close to it, so….
Yes he’s a world wide celebrity more known for his charm, then talent and makes the gossip papers for the latest stripper he’s sleeping with, or some veiled blind item regarding Lake Homo, or other questions pertaining to his sexuality. He will never be in the likes of a Sir Anthony Hopkins or Cary Grant for that matter. He’s an imitation, but one you don’t mind buying as long as it doesn’t wet the floor or stain the carpet. Nothing is forever, that includes his career, more talented, better looking men are in Hollywood and making a name and career to rival his, based more on talent then charm, childish jokes and immaturity.
Perhaps the two world leaders wouldn’t think so highly of George Clooney were they aware that he likes strippers and is currently dating a woman rumored to be a paid sex worker/hooker/prostitute/whore, whatever. You wanna wail about suing, go for it, but he’ll need a force of attorney’s since over a dozen blogs have called her that and worse. While Clooney is wealthy, I doubt, seriously if he wants THAT kind of attention on his latest arm candy or in his life. There are more attorneys and tons of people who likes to tear him a new one. He has made enemies. Some as rich and powerful, if not more so, then he is. And you have no idea who anyone is on this blog/forum, or what their resources are.
I don’t know how it will end, and I don’t see anything that tells me my opinion of her is wrong, or of him. He has a foul mouth, short temper and looks miserable, she looks like a simpering cat who was rode hard and put up wet. Lovely to look at, pretty to hold, nothing is as ugly as a doll that has grown old.
George likes to judge people and does so. He is no better then anyone else, and if there is anyone who deserves to be judged its a hypocrite.
I can’t believe George Clooney is getting the Nobel Peace Prize. Seriously. What a friggin’ joke!!! LMFAO. That award has lost all it’s credibility. I thought giving it to Al Gore was pushing it a little, his little power point presentation was so cheesy, not to mention people have decided not to believe in Global Warming because they can’t bring themselves to side with a fucking whackjob like him. WTF has Clooney done besides donating cash? I guess the Peace Prize will be the new Hollywood accessory — get a little philanthropistic and wear a t-shirt that says ONE.ORG — get a Peace Prize!
happiness (NOT) – how fitting, in your delusional euphoria, you attribute an entire post to me that i did not make. the ‘fat girl at warner’s’ post came from anon2, and, no, that is not me. i am anon. though what they said absolutely made my sides ache. someone is SO on to your game. anon2, PLEASE post more you are hilarious!!!!!!
anon get a life! i did not replace stfu, i am my own person. you were bslap because you stepped over the line. GET OVER IT! go cry in your milk.
i could less than if you agree with my opinions. the only “psychosis” i see is you. this is personal for you and you just have to get the last word in. GROW UP!
if i do not agree with someone life choices..BIG DEAL! this is life. we do not always agree that is what makes the world go round.
new baser mind philosophy? wtf? this is all opinions. controlling and bratty snit you are. should i become a evangelist? then everyone can benefit from this newfound philosophy. trouble is that you are going to have to explain what it is . i have no idea what it is myself.(lol)
it is not about george’s sex life. it is about the lie, deceit and manipulation of how he conducts his life because it flows into his professional.
if this is what he choosed to be with then so be it. don’t try to dress it up and convince the world it is something else. GET IT THROUGH YOUR SKULL.
as for trying to put some title on me like you have stfu to make you feel better, as i said before anon–PUT A FRICKIN CORK IN IT! being a bratty whiner. “night of the living dead” thank you for the laugh. i do need it today.
what are you the “mad hatter of forums”? if you want attention then there are better ways of getting some. talk to your buddy clooney, or some part of his team, and i am sure they have wonderful ideas.
again thanks for the laughs. i need to focus on something else that is so more worthy of my attention right now.
be blessed
anon,
I think in this instance, GC purposefully made his private life public, for whatever reason, he put it out there on the red carpet, and various other photo ops. To the best of my knowledge, the point of the red carpet is to drum up publicity and interest, it did that, and with that comes attention and judgements on what is being made public. I think that what created so much negativity towards Sl is that it seemed like their relationship was being sold instead of the movie and the story being sold was found to be untrue. I think that it is not the image that people created of GC that was found faulty, but the image he portrays himself as being questioned. (JMO)
Also, all stars can fall, and all institutions can crumble. No celebrity is immune. While I commend GC on his charity work, his private life if he choses to make it public, can harm his credibility on serious issues. How seriously do you take someone who is championing the rights/abuse of women if you know they date strippers and porn stars young enough to be their daughter? It has an impact. Both on how you view them and the credibililty of their cause, and I think that is something he needs to be careful about… if he is representing a cause his own morality/values will be judged more so than if he is just another actor screwing around with whomever he choses.
On a side note, while I truelly think the charity work GC and Don Cheadle are doing for Darfur is great, I really wish more credit and recognition would also be given to the aide workers that continue to risk their own life day in and day out to help suffering people.
Sarah — Your facts are off. GC is not getting the Nobel Peace Prize. He’s getting a Peace Summit Award from the annual gathering of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates. And what have you done for the world lately (other than pass along all your hatin’)?? Thanks for nothing! Anon.
Michael Clayton will be the film that opens (in a gala ceremony) the Dubai International Film Festival. Also am seeing lots of ‘for your consideration’ ads for Michael Clayton – Best Picture, Best Actor.
What’s with all the pornographic comments about Larson and Clooney? Someone sure is a potty mouth and way jealous. Ick.
Sarah, just to clarify, George is not getting the Nobel Peace Prize. An organization of people who HAVE gotten the prize are awarding Don and George what they call their Peace Summit Award. See what I posted below.
The 8th World Summit of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates will present actors George Clooney and Don Cheadle with the 2007 Peace Summit Award at its annual meeting in Rome in December.
Anon, I give you credit for your continued loyalty and defense of George, but I’m not talking about genitalia just to talk about genitalia. I’m discussing the motivation and decision making process that goes behind doing something like that. Allowing those types of photos to be taken shows a lack of good judgment. That leads me to question George too, since he seems to have a predilection to date this type of woman. i.e. one that makes poor decisions that come to light on the internet or in films that all the world can see.
No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, but most people (Britney et al excluded) don’t make a habit of making mistakes in front of cameras. Or continuing to make them over and over again.
As much as you may want to believe that personal choices do not affect and will not affect George, then you haven’t really listened to even what he has said.
For instance, he has stated numerous times that although he supports Barak Obama, he will not become more visibly involved in his campaign because he would not help his cause.
Now why do you think that is? When he stumped for his father several years back when he ran for political office, the opposing candidate made comments about the Hollywood connection that DID negatively affect his father’s campaign. Maybe they don’t say it’s his personal choices, but believe me, people know about them and may use another excuse, but he IS judged by his choices.
An interesting example of how all the work a person can do in their public life can be wiped away in an instant by a personal choice, especially in their choice of romantic partner, was in the news today. The head of the American Red Cross was asked to resign when it came to light he had a personal relationship with a subordinate. I realize George’s case is different, don’t rile up and bang me for this, but the point I’m trying to make is that personal choices CAN affect your public or business life.
That’s my concern with George’s choices.
You can defend him, talk about his box office (and I like Michael Clayton, am impressed it’s doing well, and think he might actually get recognition from his peers for his work in the film), but that still doesn’t make me change my opinion of what I think of his personal choices, how they offend my values and how it might hurt what he is trying to do on a humanitarian level.
For a man who does enjoy the popularity that he does worldwide, he continues to pick questionable women. He has more opportunity than many men, to date women who are more good looking, more glamorous, more connected etc. etc. But he chooses not to. I’m not saying he needs to be married and have kids. But he could make better choices. There are many women out there who are intelligent and also not interested in being married and having 2.1 kids.
That’s not the point. His choices in his personal life DO matter, that’t the point I’m making.
I also find it interesting that commented that most of his fans have better things to do than comment on George. Yet you’re here day after day defending him. So isn’t that like the pot calling the kettle?
If George’s popularity is not going to “wane” then being here defending him is a waste of your time. The comments that you’re here to provide a balance view but then you make commentary that denigrates anyone else being here as they have nothing better to do, is interesting.
George is lucky to have a fan like you. But if his actions are of no consequence and do not affect anyone else, then your defense of him isn’t necessary.
I like George’s work. At least that which I’ve seen. I can’t say that I’ve seen it all. But I enjoyed Good Night and Good Luck and actually felt he did a good job directing.
I liked Syriana. I learned a lot. Much of what was written rang true.
I am grateful that he and his father brought the plight of the Darfurians to light – when it was being ignored by most of the media outlets in this country.
But that still doesn’t mean that I don’t have issue with the type of women he dates as it relates to his credibility.
My point is that it’s caused quite an uproar in various forums and not in a nice way. Most is negative. So as much as you want to believe that no matter what George does in his private life it will never change his popularity or his effectiveness or viability in the business or in what he’s trying to do as a humanitarian I just can’t agree.
Anon! LOLLL….
Can we say , in english, about a debate , that it becomes ‘sterile’???
