Have U Heard??

George Clooney’s Hope For Haiti Now Telethon aired on Friday to raise money for the earthquake relief effort.

With the help of Hollywood’s A-list manning the phones, including Jack Nicholson, Ben Affleck, Steven Spielberg, Julia Roberts, Mel Gibson and Reese Witherspoon, the telethon raised more than $57 million.

This broke the record for the largest amount ever raised by a telethon and the sum will continue to grow through the iTunes sales from some of the amazing performances at the event.  Madonna, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Taylor Swift and Bono were among some of the stars that lent their voice to this worthy cause.

George Clooney will be hosting a telethon to raise money for the people of Haiti, after the tragic earthquake struck on Tuesday (Jan. 12).

The actor made the announcement at a private reception at the Monkey Bar for his new film Up in the Air.  The telethon will air live on all of the MTV channels worldwide, along with ABC, NBC, HBO and CNN, on Friday, January 22, 8-10 p.m. ET.

The 2010 Golden Globe Nominees were announced by actors John Krasinski and Diane Kruger and singer Justin Timberlake this morning. 

The awards are considered Hollywood’s second-biggest film honors after the Oscars and are thought to forecast who will be favored at the Academy Awards in March.

British comic actor Ricky Gervais will host the Golden Globes,  the first host since 1995. 

Leading the pack for this years movie nominees are Up in the Air with George Clooney (6 nominations), Nine with Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson and Penelope Cruz (5 nominations) and Avatar with Sigourney Weaver (4 nominations.)

Is it just me or does George Clooney still make your heart skip a beat??

Clooney was seen on the set of his film, ‘The American’, filming in a local street market. George plays an assassin in The American who wants to get out of the business.

In other Clooney news,  rumor has it that he gave his new girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, a promise ring.   Do you think there is any truth to this rumor – we all know George is famous for being committment phobic.

Fact or Fiction?? George Clooney hired a psychic to help him contact his beloved potbellied pig Max, who died in 2006.

This story seems a bit far fetched to make up but you never know – stranger rumors about celebrities have surfaced before.

According to IOL (Ireland On-Line) George reportedly told a friend:

“The psychic told me Max had a great life with me. He is very happy in spirit and still hangs out with me sometimes.  I am not sure she was telling the truth but Read the rest of this entry »
