He-Man George Clooney: "I Feel Abused" By Arianna Huffington
Who wins in a sissy-slapping, hair-pulling girlfight between Arianna Huffington and George Clooney?
We all do, my friends.
George Clooney is spitting mad at Arianna Huffington - and the blogosphere is wobbling on its axis.
"She said some things that I won't share, but she did tell me that this could be bad for me - bad for my career. Well, screw you!" the movie star told me yesterday about a conversation he had with the doyenne of Huffingtonpost.com. "I'm not going to be threatened by Arianna Huffington!"
Clooney, in his only interview on the subject, took off the gloves in his fight with Huffington over a blog purportedly written by the "Syriana" Oscar-winner and posted on her Web site Monday.
"I feel abused," he said.
What a tough-guy, huh?
It's long been a suspicion, but I think we now know that a lot of Arianna's "celebrity" blog-postings are actually written by Arianna or her staffers, sent to celebrity's PR people for approval, and then posted as if the celebrity had actually written the posting, when in fact they probably never even read it, or at least not the whole thing.
That's why Arianna is trying to get Clooney to shut up.
I'd like Alec Baldwin, John Cusac, etc., asked if they really wrote the blog-posts attributed to them.
