481. Clooney's right. That picture includes him in the shot on purpose. It's a private restaurant, diners have the right to privacy. If it was really about Fabio and his group, he should have requested closure of the restaurant. They wouldn't have done it of course because Fabio is --- er, who is he exactly?

Can you spell PR STUNT? Fabio, really...

482. Clooney is a has been waiting to happen. If he actually believed all the crap he spoke about he would pay extra taxes (it is allowed) instead of complain about the poor or the government's debt. He is an old punkass.

483.
I believe George is considered one of the most accomodating and nicest Celebs by the paps and when in public he will even help fans take his photo.

But it seems there is a rule that no photos are taken in private restaruants which makes sense,. Celebs are entitled to some down time and it would be constantly disturbing other dinners,

Also note that the standard signal that a pap or anyone else has overstep the bounds for photos is to give the finger. Check out the Chris Rock video, and the TMZ artilce on Heath Leger. You see it all the time.

So it looks like Fabio was in the wrong. He has been around long enough to know the rules. He could have stood up against a wall to have the women take his photo, or faced away from Clooney, then there would have been no problem. It sure looks like Fabio was tryijng to take advantage of the situation.

It is too bad about the shoving; a smart put down would have been better, But Clooney is an Irish American so what can you say.

But there sure is a lot of animosity towards Clooney from the male posters. He is exceeding good looking and has tremendous flair. And frankly I think he is a better writer/director/producer than actor, though they say Michael Clayton is really good.

484. Sir Clooney, get over yourself!

485. Clooney is a P-U-K-E. Fabio was doing a charity event. Who cares if Clooney was in the picture. Note to Clooney; Those women taking pictures were your (former) fans. You should be nicer to the people who bought you your fancy house in Lake Como.

486. Howdy folks,

I object to the extreme level of libel on this board. Go to iRove dot US if you want to see a video of George W. Bush "flipping the bird." That video is definitely NOT doctored. I agree with those who say that this photo of George Clooney looks PhotoShopped.

Secondly, stop posting bogus comments about George Clooney's background. He was neither born nor raised in Hollywood. He grew up in Kentucky and went to college in Kentucky. The notion that his career was the result of "nepotism" is a false one. Yes, Rosemary Clooney was his aunt. However, by the time George Clooney arrived in Hollywood in 1984, Rosemary Clooney was ancient history in terms of Hollywood contacts.

Also, if nepotism made him famous, then why did he spends years toiling in horrible small roles? After 10 years of "paying his dues," and honing his craft, he finally gained fame on "E.R." Anyone who doubts that George Clooney is now a highly-skilled actor, simply compare one of his lousy perfromances from the 1980's with his brilliant performances in "The Perfect Storm," "Syriania," "Three Kings," and about a dozen other great films from the past 10 years.

488. The hand in the close-up doesn't even match the hand in the photo!

In the inset image his finger is over his forehead, in the photo itself, his finger is lined up with his hair!

It's pretty unusual to have the inset photo, which supposedly shows a zoomed view of something in that photo, be from a totally different photo! That's just weird and unethical. Furthermore, that doesn't even look like a real finger in that photo. It looks like E.T.'s finger!

TMZ.com is guilty of a scam on this one.

489. Oh, give me a break, George! Don't even flatter yourself, you stupid ass! Doesn't that figure- actors are made by the public, then when people do want to take a pic or get an autograph, the actor get all hot & bothered, like they're friggin' royalty or something! As far as I'm concerned, Hollywood could fall off the face of the earth, we would all be better off without those @$%^&#!*&!!

490. George Clooney is an example of what happens to people after years of alcohol abuse.They become delusional and paranoid.If he really was behaving that badly and he really did say rude things to the women in Fabio's group, I'm sorry that Fabio didn't smack that little bitch Clooney across his famous kisser!!! P.S. I am a liberal and i find Clooney an embarassment

491. That finger is anatomically incorrect. It's far too long. I suspect it was digitally edited and TMZ fell for the fake.

492. Dear person who is deluding himself (or herself) into believeing that he (or she) knows more about the subjects of college education and computers than I do,

My knowledge of computers and of Bill Gates comes from my 30 years experience in the software industry, and from dealing firsthand with BASIC, COBOL, Fortran, and DOS, not from a Goolge search which landed me on Wikepedia. I knew who Bill Gates was (and despised the man) 20 or 25 years before you ever heard of him.

Also, as someone who used to debug code far more complicated than the simplistic code that Gates was asked to debug in 1973, I find it laughable that you suggest that it required much skill to do what he did in those days. One of the primary reasons that Microsoft's software has always been vulnerable to viruses and hackers is that the company was founded by non-software guys.
