Leave it to George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon to cause a commotion outside Grauman’s Chinese Theater like never before. The boys got messy to leave their impressions in the concrete at the famed theater.

“If I had to be on my hands and knees with three other guys, it would be them and I mean that in every possible way,” Clooney stated at the hand impression ceremony.

Not long after uttering those words, George got his wish as he, Matt, Brad and “Ocean’s” producer Jerry Weintraub got down on all fours to get messy. All four stuck their hands and feet in wet cement.

For Clooney, putting his hands in sticky cement wasn’t as easy as you’d think.

“It’s really difficult,” George joked. “(It’s) the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”

If you look at the photos, it does seem to be a hard balancing act. Did any of you readers witness this first hand?

Finally, a cause that actually MEANS something. There’s this gay bar in Laguna Beach called the Boom Boom Room, which has been around since your Nana was a fetus. It was purchased, and Clooney and Pitt were rumored to be investing in it so it wouldn’t be closed down. They denied this. Now that it’s actually going to get torn down to make some condos (friggin’ heteros), the club has taken out an ad in “Variety” begging Georgie and Brad to actually get involved.

The actors were rumored to have bought the vintage-1927 Coast Inn and its funky bar in the fall of 2005, along with airplane-leasing mogul Steve Udvar-Hazy, but representatives for the actors denied it. The property now is rumored to be for sale.

“Now we are appealing to both of you to buy our 60-year-old landmark before it is converted into a boutique hotel,” says the ad placed by activist Fred Karger and former Laguna Beach Mayor Bob Gentry.

In February, Karger present the City Council with nearly 6,000 signatures of people who support the preservation of the bar, an icon in the Southern California gay community.

The Boom Boom Room is billed as the oldest continuously operating gay bar in the United States, and keeping it would be preserving the history of the community, according to Karger said.

Supposedly Rock Hudson’s closeted ass hung out there. I’m all for hanging onto the past but can they at least get the pukey smell out? Why do gay bars all have that smell of vomit nowadays? is it just bad lube from the rest room? I realize passerbys might find anal sex between dudes reprehensible but please stop vomiting out front. You’re disturbing my cocktail.

What do ya know. The party that the ‘Ocean’s’ cast threw to help repair Darfur as part of the Not on Our Watch project raised $9.2 million Tuesday night. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle and producer Jerry Weintraub appeared on “Good Morning America” to deliver the good news.

“We had a big night last night,” Clooney told ABC’s Diane Sawyer. “We raised a lot of money. The big surprise for us was Steven Spielberg donated $1 million last night. That really kicked us over the top.”

Clooney and fellow “Oceans” star Cheadle have been heavily involved in projects to save Darfur. Clooney has gone before the United Nations to ask for more peacekeeping forces in the region; Cheadle has testified before subcommittees.

“The $9 million is for the refugee camps,” Clooney said. “And we want to immediately effect change and help people survive through the next months.”

Nice going guys!

Seriously, he’s got that whole pursed lips why is Nana kissing me on the mouth thing going on. And he’s old. But he’s like I might be old but I’m Clooney and “Basic Instinct” was a very long time ago. A ton of hot celebs came out for the AMFAR benefit at the Cannes film festival to fund AIDS research. Even Bai Ling showed up. But Bai Ling kinda shows up for everything. I saw her down at the new Valvoline on my block in a bikini, long coat and legwarmers. She was cutting a ribbon and then grinding up on one of the technicians. It was hot.

With the critics at Cannes being notoriously tough on films, how will a popcorn movie like “Ocean’s Thirteen” fare at the film festival? Well, George Clooney and Brad Pitt thinks the film will do just fine.

The follow-up to two previous “Ocean’s” capers about a group of con artists led by suave Danny Ocean (Clooney) and Rusty Ryan (Pitt), who swindle money from bad guys, opens at the world’s top film festival on Thursday and lands in theatres in June.

A Cannes debut represents a risk for a major Hollywood movie like “Ocean’s” because reviewers in the French Riviera resort tend to throw their support behind European, Asian and U.S. art house films, and foresake Hollywood studio fare like “Ocean’s.”

But Pitt, Clooney and the gang defended “Ocean’s” as a form of pure entertainment that deserved its place alongside films like Cannes opening night movie “My Blueberry Nights” from Chinese director Wong Kar Wai.

“There is a fair argument for deep and thought-provoking … types of films as well as pure, unadulterated entertainment,” Pitt told Reuters.

Damon, another of the “Ocean’s” stars, said: “You still want the bigger movies to be good.”

It looks like the cast and crew of “Ocean’s Thirteen” got together for a little pre-party before the premiere of their new film. It’s glad to know that the gang has as much fun off set as they do on set. They are getting their partying out of the way, so they can use the Cannes premiere to raise awareness of the genocide in Darfur.

Actors George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Don Cheadle, as well as producer Jerry Weintraub, have agreed to use the premiere of the film to focus on what is happening in Darfur.

The group will use their website www.notonourwatchproject.org.

Producer Jerry Weintraub told Access Hollywood, “All the guys have been to the Sudan this year. They saw this huge genocide and nobody doing anything about it, Clooney got attention earlier, but it faded. We decided to dedicate ourselves to this. The thing I am most proud of by far is that these events will benefit a cause that is very important to me and my colleagues.”

It’s definitely well worth the focus. Thanks George!
