Here’s The 911 Call From George Clooney’s Motorcycle Accident

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

George Clooney 092507 03

You can hear it here. As we previously reported, Geroge Clooney was in a motorcycle accident last week in which he suffered a broken rib and his date broke her foot. Now she’s hobbling around on crutches and he’s looking like the Unabomber. I don’t like this whole Arctic expedition look he’s got going on. Where’s the Cary Grant deal? That’s the Clooney we love. I know it’s for a movie, but I need to be turned on a little by my matinee idols.

Clooney and girlfriend-of-the-moment Sarah Larson were riding his hog on Friday, when cops say he collided with another car. He was treated for a hairline rib fracture and road rash, while Miss Larson suffered a broken foot.

The person making the call doesn’t know Clooney was involved in the accident. The dispatcher seems really confused, not understanding it was a motorcycle incident and two people are on the ground.

You can faintly hear Clooney and Sarah in the background during the last part of the tape.

Seriously, don’t call 911 for help in New Jersey. “There’s someone in the house with a gun!” “Uh, well, are you sure it’s a real gun? Can you hold on a sec? My Hot Pocket is ready.”

George Clooney Does Feel Lucky, Punk

Michael Clayton 092507 07

George Clooney’s recent motorcycle accident had him walking away with a broken rib, and his girlfriend, Sarah Larson, now walking around on crutches as a result of her broken foot. Despite the injuries they sustained only days prior, the two of them dressed up in their Sunday best and hit the red carpet for the premiere of George’s film, “Michael Clayton.” When chatting with Us Weekly, George sounded as if he couldn’t be happier.

“I feel pretty lucky we got out of there, ya know. It was pretty scary.”

He’s right, you know. These two pretty people could have walked away with some new ugly faces. I’m just saying, he’s charming and all, but really, he needs that mug to remain intact.

George Clooney Wipes Out

Monday, September 24th, 2007

http://socialitelife.com/images/2007/09/clooney_092207_01-thumb.jpg

George Clooney and his lady friend were in a motorcycle accident in New Jersey on Friday. It was kind of painful, he suffered some broken ribs and his girlfriend Sarah Larson broke her foot. You’re never going to see me on a motorcyle, unless Scott Caan or Joey Fatone are driving. And even then I will only be in a sidecar. With an airbag. And a popemobile type plexiglass shield all around me to save me from harm. Seriously - you fall off those things at high speed and it hurts.

Clooney, 46, and his companion, Sarah Larson, were treated for their injuries at the Palisades Medical Center, across the Hudson River from Manhattan, and were released, spokesman Stan Rosenfield said.

“He was treated for a hairline fracture of a rib and road rash,” he said. Larson, who was a passenger on the motorcycle driven by Clooney, suffered a broken foot. Both were wearing helmets.

Rosenfield told Reuters the accident occurred when a motorist signalled a left-hand turn, but turned right and struck Clooney’s motorcycle. The publicist said he did not know whether the driver of the car was cited for the accident.

Clooney and ladyfriend both had helmets on. Clooney’s in town filming “Burn After Reading” with Brad Pitt. Ms. Larson was a contestant on “Fear Factor” and works as a cocktail waitress. Seriously, either a plexiglass compartment in a sidecar or I’m going to wear some kind of huge puffy suit that will allow me to roll and bounce off impact. Road Rash? How much does that hurt? Remember when you were a kid, and it was winter and you were playing outside? And there was no snow yet but it was bitter cold out? And you fell on the sidewalk or street and you scraped your hands up and it stung so bag because of how fast you were going and the cold cement? Now imagine FLYING off a motor sycle at 60 mph and making contact. Owwwwwwwww.

George Clooney Knows How to Amuse Himself

Friday, September 21st, 2007

George Clooney 092107 12

I was reading this article in Page Six about how George Clooney came into NYC hot spot, Bungalow 8, the other night, laughing and joking with his friends. I’m honestly not even sure what happened, but the little article makes it sound like the newsworthiness of the incident was based solely on the fact that George and his friends were having a good time. I’m so confused–is it really just an observation of the fact that he’s a pretty happy-go-lucky guy, or is there something more subtle in this that I’m missing? Here’s the exactly quote:

A spy at Bungalow 8 the other night listened as “his friends were openly discussing what they had been doing before coming to the club. After they came in, George was laughing the whole night and kidding around with the ladies. A really hot girl jokingly slapped him, and he laughed hysterically. Finally his security was like, ‘George, it’s time to go.’ “

Was it George and his friends openly discussing something, or the spy and his friends? Sometimes gossip is a riddle, my friends. A riddle, wrapped in a bacon, dipped in chocolate.

George Clooney Gets Annoyed

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

http://socialitelife.com/images/2007/09/george_clooney_090507_01-thumb.jpg

Dang. I’ve seen some pix of George looking all silver and grizzled, but this is the first time I’ve really seen him looking downright old. I think it’s cause his pants look too big. Like he’s getting old-man skinny. He is in Italy right now, the home of some of the most awesome food on the planet, so hopefully, he’ll get around to eating while he’s there. Or maybe he just lost his appetite when asked recently by a reporter about his upcoming Nestle TV commercials. The journalist was among a group of press, who were chatting with George about his film at the festival, Michael Clayton, and decided to quiz the the actor on his choice to star in the TV ads. George, not amused, responded by saying:

“I’m not going to apologise to you for trying to make a living every once in a while. I find that an irritating question.”

Oh my God, I can totally understand him getting peeved by being asked that, but seriously, he’s even starting to sound like an angry, skinny, old man. I wish he would have called someone a “whipper-snapper.”

George Clooney is Michael Clayton

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

http://socialitelife.com/images/2007/09/george_clooney_090407_04-thumb.jpg

Even looking gray and grizzled, George still manages to look dapper. OK, that one picture of him giving zombie face is a bit weird, but a man’s got to blink his eyes from time to time, doesn’t he? And when George isn’t smiling for pictures on the red carpet, he’s most likely doing what he does best, making movies. George’s most recent film project is “Michael Clayton,” the directorial debut of the writer of the “Bourne Identity” trilogy. The Reuters review describes it as a “clock-and-dagger melodrama” in which George plays lawyer, Michael Clatyon, whose job it is to “clean up messes by the firm’s motley clients.” George has been making the rounds at the Venice Film Festival to promote the film and has been doing so with a new lady on his arm, Sarah Larson. Recently linked to Croatian supermodel, Monika Jakisic, it seems that George’s new movie has almost as many twists in the plot as his real-life love-life. George, you rascal, you.

George Clooney In Venice (Tilda Swinton Rules)

Friday, August 31st, 2007

http://socialitelife.com/images/2007/08/george_clooney_09310708-thumb.jpg
George Clooney and his grizzled yet fine ass attended the 75th Venice Film Festival and shilled his new flick “Michael Clayton”. I saw the trailer for this one, and it looked terribly boring until Tilda Swinton popped up. I could watch Tilda Swinton peel potatoes. She could show me paint samples and I’d be enthralled. She could even talk about the drudgery of filming “High School Musical 2″ and I’d be rapt and offer to freshen her drink.

In ‘Michael Clayton’ — headed into theaters in October — Clooney plays an in-house “fixer” at one of the largest corporate law firms in New York City. Known as “The Janitor” by his colleagues, his job is to clean up the messes of the wealthy clients represented by his employer — the law firm of Kenner, Bach & Ledeen. Burnt out and discontented in his job, Clayton doesn’t have the option of quitting, because a divorce, a gambling habit and a failed business venture have left him without funds.

Like I said, stifle your yawn. But Tilda Swinton! Remember that flick when her gay son accidentally killed his new lover and the guy from “ER” was blackmailing her ass and she had to run around trying to cover everything up? That’s a hot movie. Tilda’s so boss. I know this post was supposed to be about Clooney but just enjoy the pictures of him and think about how cool Tilda Swinton is. And how much taller she is then him. Shit, she could break him over her knee and do some more hot films without batting an eyelash.

Don’t Mess With George Clooney’s Property

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

http://socialitelife.com/images/2007/06/george_clooney_062207_04-thumb.jpg

George is speaking out in an attempt to stop a multi-millon dollar development that could ruin the peace and beauty of Lake Como - not to mention that of his lakeside villa. There are plans to build three new parking areas, with lift access down to the lake, and a floating pontoon walkway in the small bay in front of Clooney’s property, Villa Oleandra.

The small public beach next to the villa - which he tried unsuccessfully to buy two years ago to ensure his privacy - will be paved over to form a lakeside piazza leading to the pontoon.

However, Clooney, who spends three to four months a year at Lake Como, said he feared that the tourist influx, for which the parking facilities were needed, had followed him there. “I don’t want my presence to disturb the lives of the people who live here,” he told Corriere della Sera. “But we will all suffer from these building projects.”

He said that he could always sell up and “look for peace and privacy somewhere else”. But he preferred to stay at Como, and was convinced that the majority of local residents were opposed to the development.

“If this plan goes ahead it will completely change the appearance of the town and the lakeside,” he said.

“Italy should be defending its wonderful landscape. The roots of its future lie in its past.”

The actor who lives almost as a recluse at the villa, doesn’t want that recluse status altered.

George Clooney Loves Ladies Long Time

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

http://socialitelife.com/images/2007/06/george_clooney_062007_04-thumb.jpg

An exotic dancer from Las Vegas’ strip club, the Spearmint Rhino, claims that she enjoyed a 3-month fling with Hollywood bachelor, George Clooney. Sarah Talley gushed to The Mirror that Clooney was never less than a gentleman with her and she enjoyed every minute of their sensual, friendly relationship.

“He’s got a great body, great legs and his feet are perfect for a man. We kissed and cuddled into the early hours but he didn’t treat me like a dancer. He was respectful of my wishes.”

Sarah had a bunch more details about their interactions together, but the above is by far my favorite. I am dying to know what perfect feet on a man look like. I have a feeling she means that his toenails aren’t pointy like daggers at the end. To my boyfriend: If you’re reading this, I still love you baby, but seriously, sometimes you draw blood with those registered weapons on the ends of your toes.

Which is only fitting, since the film takes place in Las Vegas. Just one day after the Los Angeles premiere spectacle, the cast headed off to Vegas for another premiere. Next on the list - Chicago.
