Good god, Revenge. It's so ridiculously good. Although if this were on when I was 17 I would have sneered at its viewers, the way I did people who watched Melrose Place. So glad to be a less snobby grown up.
An actor friend of mine (not a recognizable name, but a big part on a show anyone would know) swears that Clooney is gay and everybody in Hollywood knows it.
