If you want to become friends with George Clooney on Facebook, then you're out of luck.

The actor said this week at the Toronto Film Festival: "I would rather have a prostate exam on live television by a guy with very cold hands than have a Facebook page."

Well, there you have it.

Like most elected officials at health care reform town halls, many celebrities simply smile and nod when crazy people say rude and outlandish things to their faces.

George Clooney is not one of these celebrities.

Does George Clooney get propositioned by gay men a lot? He must because he seems to handle the situation really well!

George Clooney has been forced to deny reports that he died.

While many stars would never shill for ice cream, cars, coffee or liquor in America, plenty of them do it overseas, a la Bill Murray in Lost in Translation.

Orson Welles, Audrey Hepburn, Leonardo DiCaprio, Keanu Reeves, Ben Stiller and George Clooney have all done Japanese ads but never American ones.

Yesterday director Spike Jonze, Lost in Translation director Sophia Coppola’s ex-husband, was shooting a commercial for Japanese cell phone company Softbank with Brad Pitt in Midtown Manhattan.

How else can Brad afford six babies?

George Clooney’s reappearance on ER with Julianna Margulies was considered so top secret it was shot outside of LA, without the knowledge of NBC.

It was a major covert operation according to Julianna.

She tells TV Guide Magazine, “My last episode was done in complete secrecy. George flew from Burbank and I flew from LAX and we met in Seattle with only John Wells and our director of photography.

The truth is, we stopped watching ER about ten seasons ago but last night, with the return of Dr. Doug Ross, we had to tune in.

And we spent half the episode, titled “Old Times” asking “WTF?”

Eric LaSalle and Noah Wyle all BFF while Noah gets a kidney transplant? John Stamos whizzing in and out of scenes with Ernest Borgnine? Some super hot Australian dude who’s the love child of Jonathan Tucker and Simon Baker?

Whasagoinon?

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
