Clooney in the Clear!

George ClooneyWeehawken PD has issued the following statement to TMZ about George Clooney's motorcycle accident:

"On Friday, Sept. 21, 2007 at approximately 3:30 PM, Weehawken police and the Weehawken Volunteer First Aid Squad responded to a 911 call of a motorcycle accident with possible injuries at the corner of King Avenue and Boulevard East.

Investigation at the scene determined that a 1999 Mazda Millenium operated Mr. Albert Sciancalepore II of Weehawken, NJ made contact with a 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle operated by Mr. George Clooney of Los Angeles, California, was accompanied by Ms. Sarah Larson of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Mr. Clooney and Ms. Larson were subsequently taken to Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen for examination and treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Both were apparently wearing motorcycle helmets at the time of the accident. The car was driven from the scene by its operator, and the motorcycle was (taken) from the scene by a representative of Mr. Clooney. Due to conflicting statements of driver and the lack of evidence to support either driver's version, no moving violation summonses have been issued to either party at this time. The incident remains under investigation."

31. It's really irrelevant whether or not the car driver signaled right, left, or not at all (other than determining if Clooney is a scofflaw or just inattentive). On a single-lane road in New Jersey, as in most other states, it is technically illegal for any car or motorcycle to come alongside the right in order to turn or pass. Most drivers do this regularly, though. I, myself, received a warning from a state trooper when I pulled up on the right of a truck at a stop light, stopped and turned right. On a single-lane road, this is against the law.

If Clooney's motorcycle damaged the car, and the issue were taken to court (which is very unlikely), Clooney would be expected to pay.

32. "9. Come on TMZ, that's the best you could do? Look at that pic...sweet jesus..gives a real pic of that beautiful man!

I think the goofy picture is the point. But I definitely agree. George is one of Hollywood's most attractive and likable leading men, and TMZ puts a goofy ass picture of him up on their front page. Oh well...

33. I used to like George Clooney, but in recent years he has become just another opinionated puppet-on-a-string entertainer who never went to college. As far as his new ex-waitress girlfriend goes, this makes him just another dirty old man in Hollywood.

34. When I first read this story and heard that he likely only broke a rib, I thought to myself

"what a damn shame....what a damn damn shame that jackass didn't get stuck underneath the car and dragged 400 feet down the road"

Karma. He got a taste of it.

37. 45,000 people die every day in the usa, why cant harvey levin or clooney or better yet sean penn be one of them??? i think ur tv shows got about two months left, in fact im told fox has already cancelled it based on the fact that it is the worst rated show in its time slot ever and is being replaced with married with children rereuns, an enourmous step up.

38. Of all the inane comments made, the one that he was opinionated star who never attended college was the penultimate. What college did Einstein attend or Abraham Lincoln or Thomas Edison? On the flip side, some of the stupidest people I ever met were college grads who worship at the altar of IQ. Bet this gets flame...the really good part is this is the first time and last time I will probably visit. This will do no good but I did graduate college, I just rarely found any student there with sense god gave a goose.

39. I heard his skanky Las Vegas girlfriend got her beef-curtains caught in the chain and caused the motorcycle to crash.

40. From the news reports I have read, George was trying to pass the vehicle on the right side. According to what I understand the law to be, passing on the right side of a vehicle is illegal. Passing on the right side while operating a motorcylce is suicide.

If he was trying to commit suicide, he wasn't successful. How unfortunate for all of us. Better luck next time Boy George!

43. If it had been an average Joe in that accident in Clooneys place, he would have gotten a ticket. Its just one more example of how being righ and famous can get you out of anything.
