December 1, 2006 - 17:29 ET by TexasOptimistLauer: Another proud moment in our history here at NBC News. Not only are we biased, we also appeal to the lowest cultural denominator. After all, George Looney... oops, I mean Clooney, ha ha ha... is a God in our universe. And in our universe, names like Thijs are consider normal while names like Joe and Fred are considered inane. In our universe, we are better than you. So watch us every morning! Beauty pageants such as Miss America are sexist and demeaning, but being labeled the "Sexiest Man in America" is all right with us! So way to go George! You rock!
George: I know, thanks. Oh, and Bush sucks!

December 1, 2006 - 19:19 ET by terrigWhat a disgusting pig (well pigs). I think George Clooney is the biggest ass in the world. He's balling for W to send our military to Darfur. Why doesn't he put together his own little army with Matt Damon & MIa Farrow and all the other hollyweird libs and go over there themselves. I hate this jerk & wish he would fall of the side of the earth. Sexiest man, I don't think so.

Apparently it's very strongly rumored in the tabloid gossip column world, but no one will out him.
(My brother's a sub/journo, and he got it from the celebrity editor of one England's top selling tabs.)
So believe it or not, but he wears a lot of beards draped all over him.

December 2, 2006 - 12:27 ET by Dee BunkIf Clooney is Gay - that would make me have a tad bit more respect for him. Then he wouldn't be under the delusional impression that he is God's gift to women.

December 2, 2006 - 12:30 ET by balboaNearly every male star in Hollywood is rumored to be gay at one time or another.
True. And some of them are.
December 2, 2006 - 12:37 ET by Jack BauerTrue. And some of them are. The tabloids know. They're just not saying. Think about why they wouldn't.
I also know a couple of ABSOLUTE suprising certs, other than Clooney, from reliable and in the loop source -- as in a totally out major league gay star who likes to dish after a few bottles of bubbly.
But I won't mention them here as this is about Georgie Boy.
And I'm sure if Clooney was a high profile conservative Hollywoodenhead, he'd have been outed before you could say gay.
And as I said, people can either believe their souces or not. I believe mine. But as I'm your source, that's your call.

December 2, 2006 - 12:53 ET by Dee BunkIt definitely doesn't surprise me. The press and Hollywood respect liberal Gay people’s privacy. They only out Gay people who are Republican. Everyone knew about Rosie and Ellen Degeneres in the press and Hollywood but they didn't talk about it until they outed themselves.
Balboa - It would make sense
December 2, 2006 - 12:41 ET by Dee BunkBalboa - It would make sense though because he never seems to have a girlfriend and when he does the paparazzi leave him alone. That is unheard of. It would also explain why Hollywood and magazine editors love him so much. He’s not that good looking and the women who I know who find him attractive all watched E.R. (I didn’t). I think they loved the character he played. Even the women I know who love him wouldn’t pick him as the sexist man alive.
