The actor today refuted an LA Times story saying he “frequently text messages” the candidate, People reports. “I have never texted or emailed Sen. Obama,” Clooney said. “And I'll offer a million dollars to anyone who could prove otherwise.”http://www.newser.com/story/34842/clooney-im-not-part-of-obamas-brain-trust.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWed, 13 Aug 2008 12:18:02 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/28655/clooneys-back-on-the-market.html?refid=rss_all_defaultGeorge Clooney and Sarah Larson are splitsville after a year of dating, inTouch reports today. "He just didn't want to be tied down," a friend of 29-year-old Larson said, claiming that Clooney, 47, has moved out of his Los Angeles home, and the former Las Vegas cocktail waitress packed up her things. The actor's rep gave People the standard no-comment.http://www.newser.com/story/28655/clooneys-back-on-the-market.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 29 May 2008 8:37:56 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/28553/save-the-spurmo-straight-single-men-face-extinction.html?refid=rss_all_defaultAre you a straight, proud, unmarried man over 30? Then you're part of a dying breed, writes Tad Safran in the Times UK . Dubbed "Spurmos," these endangered bachelors drink in increasing isolation as friends succumb to marriage, wine racks and child-rearing. Having roamed in great herds in their 20s, Spurmos can find themselves hard up for buddies, if not female companionship. Notable Spurmos include George Clooney, Vincent van Gogh, Voltaire and Indiana Jones.http://www.newser.com/story/28553/save-the-spurmo-straight-single-men-face-extinction.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 29 May 2008 8:37:56 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/25387/olympic-protesters-zero-in-on-sponsors.html?refid=rss_all_defaultAs the Beijing Olympics approach, advocates for a free Tibet and peace in Darfur are trying to hit the Games where it hurts: in the wallet. A coalition of groups has been petitioning the corporations that are sponsoring this year's Olympics to press China on their behalf. The strategy seems to be having at least modest success, writes the Guardian .http://www.newser.com/story/25387/olympic-protesters-zero-in-on-sponsors.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWed, 23 Apr 2008 9:28:48 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/84509/profiles-somebody-has-to-be-in-control.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe effort behind George Clooney’s effortless charm. George Clooney was at home in Los Angeles one afternoon in mid-January, a few days before he flew to Sudan in his new role as a United Nations “Messenger of Peace” (an appointment that overlooked reports of a recent public scuffle with Fabio, the leonine model). Clooney, who is unusual in being both very famous and, apparently, at ease with the fact—he can sometimes look like a spokesman for celebrity itself—was sitting on a long pale sofa, alongside Sarah Larson, his girlfriend. Bowls of chopped salad were on the coffee table in front of them: when Clooney’s electronic pepper grinder was activated, it sent a beam of light shining down onto the lettuce, like a police helicopter.http://www.newser.com/story/84509/profiles-somebody-has-to-be-in-control.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWed, 23 Apr 2008 9:34:18 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/23456/hollywoods-hottest-bromances.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTabloids have speculated that "Gossip Girl" star Chace Crawford and former 'N Sync-er JC Chasez are more than friends, but the two insist they just love to hang out.

The film's director, co-producer, and star says he overhauled a weak script, but a 2-to-1 arbitration vote went against him. He didn't publicize the move because the strike, which he supported, was imminent.http://www.newser.com/story/23442/clooney-wga-part-ways-over-disputed-credit.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWed, 23 Apr 2008 9:28:49 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/23351/leatherheads-fumbles.html?refid=rss_all_defaultCritics seem to want to like Leatherheads , a screwball comedy about pro football's early days, directed by and starring George Clooney. The Roaring '20s costumes, sets and music are terrific, notes Kirk Honeycutt of the Hollywood Reporter . Clooney, as an aging player/team owner, and his leading lady, Renée Zellweger, as a spitfire newspaper reporter, "play off each other nicely," writes the Philadelphia Inquirer 's Steven Rea.http://www.newser.com/story/23351/leatherheads-fumbles.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWed, 23 Apr 2008 9:28:49 CDT
