Gawker
Page Six reports today that non-blogging actor George Clooney has taken action to destroy Gawker Stalker — ohmahgah he knows we exist! In an email sent by his publicist Stan Rosenfield to other entertainment flacks, "George" writes:
There is a simple way to render these guys useless. Flood their Web site with bogus sightings. Get your clients to get 10 friends to text in fake sightings of any number of stars. A couple hundred conflicting sightings and this Web site is worthless. No need to try to create new laws to restrict free speech. Just make them useless. That's the fun of it. And then sit back and enjoy the ride. Thanks, George.
Considering "George Clooney does not make statements, he answers questions," we've a hard time believing that this missive came from the keyboard of Clooney himself. But, then again, he's declared that "If I say I've written something, I've written it." So maybe he did. In which case: So excited. If there's anyone to take us down, throw us around, and render us useless, it's him. Seriously, we've been fantasizing about that shit since ER.
Oh, and this just in, from a tipster: "Last night, 1 AM, saw George Clooney in a gang bang at The Eagle. He looked sweaty and was bleating like a sheep."

Excuse me. A Google maps link to The Eagle, please. Shutup youse in the peanut gallery. I do not already know how to get there.
I'm sorry, this is too hilarious. Do people (and Gods, such as George Clooney) really, truly believe that psycho stalkers are reading and posting this shit? Hellooooooooooo........ Not that I have ever gawked (ahem) or stalked, but HEY HOLLYWOOD, I think it is safe to assume that the readers and posters are intelligent folk having a laugh at people who take themselves WAY too seriously and expect [the rest of us] mere mortals to pretend they don't even exist should we come face to face with them. (Private note to George - if you're reading this, CALL ME to discuss further!)
Yeah, right.
and just yesterday, Harrison Ford mentioned how he too hates the Internet. Is there some Hollywood talking point memo going around?
Harrison Ford just hates the Internet because he's old.
That's so weird..I just saw Clooney...he was at the zoo hiring monkeys to write the next Ocean's movie. He mentioned to some lackey about going uptown to buy some things called "typewriters". Looked hunky. I'd hit it. Honestly, nothing turns me on so much as an actor talking about having the power to "create new laws" but reining himself in. Damn, he shows such self control. And that's why he's a star, people, a star!!!!
Quite frankly, we don't have any way of knowing that the Stalker sightings that are posted NOW are real. Wouldn't Clooney's proposal just make Gawker look super-efficient and popular?
shouldn't credit go to andrew "krucoff" slushpilitz for subjecting gawker stalker to the "operation window" strategy that proved so effective during the raf's bombing of hamburg? http://youngmanhattanite.com/2006/03/gawker-stoker-bad-cas... http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/2WWmetal.htm oh, the wonders of the internets...
well, as usual, Hollywood is way ahead of the curve on this whole internet thing. i mean, you can totally control it! who knew?
Beware the Clooney smug cloud.
r.e. tip from tipster: a hearty LOL! This is a humor site first and foremost, non? A deft and funny finger of satire pointed at the shennanigans of show biz, media,, and pop-culture, right? Laugh - it feels good.
