George gives confession

George Clooney, actor, political activist, and, according to a recent issue of the American celebrity magazine People, the official “sexiest man alive”, is proudly demonstrating one of his lesser-known skills – that of serving the Latin Mass. “In nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti …” he chants tunefully, sketching a cross in the air. “I could do the whole of it – sung, too. I was brought up with the whole bit, Catholic school, confession every week, everything. “Confession was funny because I grew up in this tiny, tiny, tiny town in Kentucky, 1, 500 people in the whole town and only about 10 kids who were Catholic. “Now, when you’re seven years old, you don’t really have a lot to confess, but you had to show up anyway, and I remember figuring out at one point that because there were so few of us, the priest would know who we all were. So I decided that I would only confess the things that I thought were OK for him to hear.” He stops and shakes his head, laughing. There are a handful of us hanging out with George in the fancy Beverly Hills hotel and it is not difficult to spot which of us were brought up Catholic. The clue is that all the Catholics are laughing with him, and all the others are looking faintly puzzled. Not that George notices. He is on a roll. “But what to do about the other sins, right? I’d read somewhere about a saint who would put a pebble in her shoe and walk around on it for penance. So what I’d do is, I’d go to confession and just confess what I wanted to confess. And then when I got home, I’d fill both of my shoes with gravel, and I’d jump right off the top of my bunk bed straight on to them. That way, I was completely cleansed of all the sins, and I’d still avoided telling stuff to the priest!” By now, the non-Catholics are exchanging glances and edging surreptitiously towards the door. But George has not yet started on his schooldays. “Did you ever get paddled?” he demands, cheerfully. (The Catholic Herald)

Gorgeous George: Still Naughty!

Gorgeous George: Still Naughty!
(The Insider)

George recently finished filming ‘Ocean’s 13,’ the third in the bank heist series starring MATT DAMON, BERNIE MAC, DON CHEADLE and BRAD PITT, who recently mocked George’s title as People’s Sexiest Man Alive by taking out a couple of bogus ads in the Hollywood trades. Seen in Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, the ads signed by Rev. Ted congratulated George on his win with a goofy picture from his stint on “The Facts of Life.” “Pretty Boy Pitt did that,” George tells us. “He took out one in both trades but I got him back on ‘LETTERMAN’ a little bit.”

George retaliated on the “Late Show with David Letterman” by showing embarrassing old pics of Brad to the viewers. “He’s very quick and very smart,” George says of his buddy, “but he’s got kids and things he has to do in life. I have nothing. I sit around and plot. He’s got, oh, raising children, and I sit around going, ‘How do I get that guy back? What do I do?’ I sent him a text message that said, ‘You won’t know where, you won’t know when. Sleep well, little prince, sleep well.’”
