Actor George Clooney, publicist Stan Rosenfield, recipient of the Les Mason Award attend the 47th Annual ICG Publicist Awards at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza on March 5, 2010 in Century City, California.
Ted shares the pranks with us after attending the Publicists Guild Awards Luncheon this afternoon. Never one to miss out on the opportunity George took a shot at a Sarah Palin
Being the butt of a joke should be nothing new for Sarah Palin—except this time, it’s not for her politics.
Following news that S.P. had a bad case of the gimmes at the Silver Spoon Oscar Suite in Hollywood earlier this week, known jokester George Clooney savored the opportunity to take a shot at the questionably witted soccer mom. At the Publicists Guild Awards luncheon in L.A. this afternoon, George schlepped about 10 overflowing gift bags onstage while presenting his longtime flack Stan Rosenfeld with the Les Mason Award. Once at the mic, Clooney kindly apologized for his baggage, claiming he’d run into the former Alaskan governor in the gifting lounge.
Sarah may need a drink after that jab.

George attended the 47th annual Publicists Awards luncheon Friday to present Stan Rosenfield with the Les Mason Award. The Les Mason Award honors an outstanding current member, regardless of his or her geographical location, whose achievements have been outstanding; whose work reflects the highest professional ideals worthy of being singled out by his or her peers for the highest honor the Publicists can bestow on one of its own members. Stan took the time to answer a few Q&A’s for Clooney Unlimited earlier and you can read those here. The luncheon was held at Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel and honored many in the business including James Cameron with the Motion Picture Showmanship Award. Source
George Clooney: Before He Was Famous
Exclusive: Father Nick Clooney on Mega-Famous Son’s Childhood, Awkward Stage
By KATIE THOMSON and LAUREN SHER
March 2, 2010— From a Special Forces soldier in 1999’s “Three Kings,” an adventurous sea captain in “The Perfect Storm,” a suave con artist Danny Ocean in “Oceans 11,” to CIA agent in the political thriller “Syriana,” he’s transformed himself into countless leading roles.
“I was just as stunned as anybody watching it, to see how he did that,” father Nick Clooney said. “He undertakes another character and I said, where’d he get that?”
George Clooney is nominated for best actor for his role as corporate hatchet-man Ryan Bingham in “Up in the Air.” It’s the star’s fifth Academy Award nomination. He won best supporting actor in 2005 for “Syriana.”
But before he became one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, the Oscar-winning actor was another nerdy-looking kid in glasses. People magazine’s two-time choice for “Sexiest Man Alive” went through an awkward stage in middle school like everyone else.
“George and his glasses, an experiment that did not work out,” his dad joked.
A little after 10 p.m. EST on Jan. 23, something remarkable occurred in Los Angeles. Anyone watching the presentation of this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards on TNT got to see it. What people had intuitively felt for some time now but not quite registered finally became unmistakable: George Clooney is the King of Hollywood.
The once and former monarch, Jack Nicholson, some time ago assumed senior status (starring in “The Bucket List’’ will do that for even the most exalted sovereign). Now it’s Clooney. The man Time magazine dubbed “The Last Movie Star’’ two years ago is today Hollywood’s first citizen. Not just up in the air, he’s now also on a throne.
Here are a few pics of George from the Oscars Nominee Luncheon held Monday February 15.
