CLOONEY & ‘13′ CREW RAISE A YACHT OF LOOT FOR DARFUR

Those handsome “Ocean’s Thirteen” con artists - George Clooney, Brad Pitt (both at r.), Matt Damon and Don Cheadle - scored a cool $9.2 million on the French Riviera Tuesday night. But nobody’s calling the gendarmes.
The only people likely to complain about Clooney’s latest caper are the paparazzi. Most of them were left at the dock when the Oscar- winner and his crew shoved off on the 237-foot yacht that was the scene of the Not on Our Watch benefit for Darfur.
Among those piped aboard the RM Elegant (a Greek-registered vessel that ranks No. 49 on Power & Motor Yacht mag’s list of the world’s 100 largest yachts) were “Ocean’s Thirteen” castmates Ellen Barkin, Andy Garcia, Scott Caan and Elliott Gould and charity co- skipper Jerry Weintraub.
Everyone looked their best. Tan-n-tuxed Clooney “was a dead ringer for Cary Grant” in “To Catch a Thief,” says our spy. “Ellen looked fierce in a tight velvet dress. She has the most rocking body you’ve ever seen.” Cheadle, who told Foxnews.com’s Roger Friedman that he’ll direct himself in a biopic about Miles Davis, appeared to already be channeling the jazz legend’s style.
Guests paid as much as $25,000 a ticket for the Audi-sponsored cruise. Steven Spielberg personally chipped in $1 million and, we hear, OK! Magazine donated around $2 million (which may explain why it had the exclusive on coverage).
Pitt came without Angelina Jolie, who was having dinner with Mariane Pearl, whom she plays in “A Mighty Heart.” He met up later with them and daughter Shiloh, who’s about to celebrate her first birthday.
