Clooney gets sultry ’n’ savage

Looking like Jason Bourne's debonair uncle, everyone's favorite bachelor George Clooney threw a mock choke hold on mixed martial arts fighter Dean Lister during a party at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego last week. - TMZ.com

It’s somehow reassuring to learn that mega-celebrities can cut loose at a public bar when everyone’s watching. One might expect superstardom to give way to seclusion and private parties, what with all the staring, the camera-phone photo snapping and the constant douchebag buggery that famous people must endure.

Not so with actor George Clooney, who was living it up Downtown on Sept. 18 during Cabaret Night at the Hard Rock Hotel’s Sweetwater Saloon. The two most overheard comments were akin to: “Wow, he’s really short” and “Wow, he’s really hammered.” When Clooney wasn’t playing what looked like some sort of hide-the-shot-glass-underneath-the-martini-shaker game at the bar, he was all smiley-faced and impressed as he watched DJ Scooter do a sweet mash-up of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” and Bernard Hermann’s “Twisted Nerve” (the whistle song from Kill Bill).

Or he was groovin’ on the dance floor and gettin’ real friendly-like with a couple of the hotties from Sultry Savage Burlesque who performed that evening—Miss Dixie Von Trixie (local musician Amanda Suter) and Miss Sophie Naugahyde (CityBeat’s own Diana VanRooy).

“Diana and I were dancing and the next thing I know George is dancing with us, his arms around us, and he kept kissing us on the cheeks,” Suter reflected in an e-mail. “We of course were kissing him back on the cheek, and at one point I realized that my lipstick was all over his face. I told him, “Hey, I’ve got lipstick all over you! Lemme get it off!” And I proceeded to wipe it off with my finger. He laughed and said, “No, keep it on!

“I just remember looking around during all of this and seeing a bunch of fake downtown blondes mad-dogging us,” Suter said, adding that Clooney “totally lives up to his charming bad-boy reputation. The guy likes to party, that’s clear. But he was totally cool and very nice.”
