George Clooney and his father, Nick Clooney were arrested today in Washington D.C. at a protest outside the Sudanese Embassy.

The Descendants star was part of a group that included religious leaders, human rights activists and four Congress members – Al Green, Jim McGovern, Jim Moran and John Oliver – that were taken in to custody after defying a police order to move off of the Embassy’s private property.

In an effort to call attention to what they say is Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir‘s blockade of humanitarian aid and the continued slaughter of his own people, Clooney said it was time for the government to bring it to an end.

“This is for the government in Khartoum to stop randomly killing its own innocent men, women and children,” the 50 year-old actor said as he was being taken away.

“Stop raping them and stop starving them. That’s all we ask.”

Clooney’s rep released a statement on the actor and his father’s involvement in the protest:

“They were protesting the violence committed by the government of Sudan on its own innocent men, women and children. They were demanding they allow humanitarian aid into the country before it becomes the largest humanitarian crisis in the world.”

Clooney testified before Congress on Wednesday and has met with president Barack Obama over the situation in the Sudan.

The actor was taken into custody by the Secret Service and will be charged with disorderly crossing of a police line, a misdemeanor.

George Clooney and the absolutely stunning Stacy Keibler walked the red carpet of the 84th Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 26th.

Keibler opted for a gorgeous strapless gold Marchesa Fall 2012 draped gown that made her look like a living Oscar Statue. She kept her look on point with side swept honey-colored hair and minimal accessories all of a golden hue.

Clooney, who was nominated for his role in The Descendants, took part in the opening skit with Oscars’ host Billy Crystal.

Crystal, who “inserts” himself into nominated movies in his opening montage, shared a kiss with Clooney in a nod to George’s film.

Crystal joked that it was a “very good kiss” and Keibler agreed.

“You’re right @BillyCrystal,” she tweeted, “he is a good kisser.”

The 84th Annual Academy Awards were held in Hollywood at the Kodak Theatre (or as host Billy Crystal quipped – the Chapter 11 Theater) on Sunday night and there were few surprises.

Crystal was his usual affable, likable self; the ratings were up slightly from last year but there were no really big wow moments to the 2012 Oscars.

The biggest winners of the night were Martin Scorsese‘s Hugo and Michel Hazanavicius‘ The Artist – each taking 5 wins, although The Artist won the biggest nods of Best Director, Best Feature and Best Leading Actor among it’s accolades.

The Help star Octavia Spencer had a very sweet moment at the podium when she was genuinely overcome with emotion as she accepted her Best Supporting Actress gold statue.

Chistopher Plummer and Meryl Streep were also very engaging during their thank you speeches and Jean Dujardin shared a moment with Uggie, the Jack Russell terrier of The Artist that has become a fan favorite.

Viola Davis and George Clooney were hot contenders for Best Actress and Actor categories, respectively, but both walked away empty handed.

Among the presenters for the evening: Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Jennifer Lopez, Tom Hanks, Cameron Diaz, Tina Fey, Michael Douglas, Bradley Cooper, Chris Rock, Melissa Leo, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph and Emma Stone.

Below is the full list of winners:  (Read the article)

George Clooney walked the red carpet for the premiere of his latest film The Ides of March in New York City at the Ziegfeld Theatre on Wednesday, October 5th.

The 50 year-old actor had his costar Marisa Tomei to his villa in Lake Como, Italy earlier this year and she told late night host Conan O’Brien how she and Evan Rachel Wood and Charlie Rose went skinny dipping at Clooney’s home.

“So he [Clooney] throws the gauntlet down: ‘Are you guys gonna jump in the lake?’” Tomei said.  “We wound up all skinny dipping, let’s just cut to the chase.”

Clooney says that swimming in the buff at his place is traditional.

“[Skinny dipping] is a tradition at my house!” Clooney revealed. “It’s funny. Some people skinny dip, but I always go upstairs and put a suit on and then I jump in the lake.”

Check out more photos of George at the premiere below and a video from his Thursday night appearance on David Letterman‘s show where he talks about legendary newsman Walter Cronkite visiting and jumping in the lake.

It’s a dream for many women:  to wake up one morning and find that you’re married to notorious bachelor and Hollywood hottie George Clooney.   And that’s pretty much the premise of a new, tongue in cheek commercial for Norwegian bank DnB NOR.

In the ad, a woman with a serious hangover wakes up in a hotel room.  She finds a wedding dress, a pile of Polaroid photos, and a monstrous diamond on her finger.   As she’s trying to piece it all together, Clooney emerges from the bathroom and shows her some real estate listings:  “I’ve been looking for a place for us,” he says, while she stares at him, dumbfounded.

The caption says, “Some people are lucky in life.  For the rest of us, saving up can be smart.”

The look on the bride’s face is the best part of this spot.  Well, that, and the horse head mask.  Enjoy!

The new gal in George Clooney‘s life is rumored to be former WWE star Stacy Keibler. Yes, that is the buzz.

The Dancing With the Stars alum, 31, tweeted about being in Italy, specifically Portofino in early July when Clooney, 50, was also thought to be at his Lake Como villa.

The two reportedly spent some quiet time in London as well and pals are leaking the details of their relationship.

“It’s more than just a fling,” and insider spilled to US Weekly.

“They’re basically exclusive at this point. They like each other’s sense of humor. Obviously they’re both physically attracted to one another.”

Clooney, who just ended his two year relationship with Elisabetta Canalis and Keibler, also fresh out of a romance with 7th Heaven star Geoff Stults, have known each other for a few years before deciding to become more than friends.

She’s a beautiful woman and he’s a gorgeous guy but could this be just hype? they do seem an odd pair but who knows?

Nothing is confirmed by either star or their representatives and the two haven’t been photographed together. The reports are flimsy, at best.
