Gosling had showed up to start work on “The Lovely Bones”  looking like he'd donned
 a fat suit. According to sources,  the 26-year-old Gosling had apparently told the
the director jackson was stil expecting some movie star allure — not paunch and a
beard. Gosling high profile project “creative differences,”

The film, based on the popular book by Alice Sebold, is about a 14-year-old girl,
Susie Salmon, is murdered by a neighbor and watches the tragedy affect her
family from heavenThe cast includes Rachel Weisz as her mother, and Susan
salmon as her grandmother.

Gosling’s departure comes on the heels of his indie pic "Lars and the Real
Girl,” which, according to Boxofficemojo.com cost $12 million. So far the film
has earned $316,000, and will go wide this weekend.  A  Deam work
representative declined to comment, as did Gosling’s manager.

Still, “The Lovely Bones,” which starts shooting today in Pennsylvania,
will continue relatively unhampered.

The future is significantly less clear for “White Jazz,” the Joe Carnahan adaptation
of the James Ellroy novel, after its star, George Clooney, after its scheduled
Chris Pine, also abandoned ship to take on the role of Captain Kirk in J.J. Abrams’
“Star Trek.”

 Clooney’s producing partner Grant Heslov issued a statement, “It just simply
to scheduling. George clooney  to believe in the project and in Joe.”
Heslov and Clooney are also producers on the film.

“White Jazz” is the second Carnahan film to falter recently. n March, Reese
Witherspoon unexpectedly dropped out of “Bunny Lake Is Missing,” a remake of
the 1965 Otto Preminger movie. Her departure torpedoed the film.

Carnahan has written that he’s looking for another film star to replace clooney,
and, according to one high-profile agent, the Oscar-winning movie star has already
from other films trying to lock down major talent before a possible writer’s strike.

George Clooney to Help Manage Energy Company

john | 22 October, 2007 00:32

cmclooney_narrowweb__300x4500_400

George Clooney will become an executive board member of a new Swiss energy company.

The new company, which will develop environmentally friendly techniques for car motors, batteries and other devices, is aimed at reducing CO2-emissions in energy consumption.
Clooney will sit on the board alongside Swiss astronaut Claude Nicollier and others, as confirmed by Clooney’s spokesman, Stan Rosenfield to The Associated Press.


George Clooney, a self described ladies man is known for his charming ways and has been linked to a string of gorgeous women, but he is also known for his determined humanitarian efforts and his relationship with another lady - Mother Earth.

Clooney has lent his name and support to the ONE campaign, along with friends Matt Damon and Brad Pitt. The initiative fights AIDS and extreme poverty on a global scale. He is also a strong supporter of Save Darfur. His efforts to promote green living through environmentally sound practices has been well regarded by environmentalists globally.

The compassion for life and the environment further distinguishes George Clooney from the majority of his peers within the Hollywood film community. Good looks and charm would have been enough for some - but his caring attitude for those in need is golden.

Michael Clayton's Boxoffice and George Clooney's Stardom

john | 19 October, 2007 08:01

George Clooney is the model of a modern movie star. His accountant told him one day he never had to work another day in his life and he decided to use that "fuck you" money to make good movies. (Solaris and The Good German were both noble Steven Soderbergh failures.) I understand that Clooney signed off on Warner Bros.' stupid distribution decision to go wide with Michael Clayton on the second weekend.

crazy is that the studio had a well-reviewed, smart-house, classy movie that played well for the Academy and cost only $22 million. That's peanuts to a studio like Warners and there was no earthly reason to go wide! the movie simmering in a successful mode, and widened gradually, keeping the Oscar race in mind.

This is the kind of movie that builds and finds an audience. As long as it's successful, all well and good. But taint it with a 4th-place weekend and you've got the perception of damaged goods.

George Clooney is a star: if he gets paid $20 million He'd rather get his money in back-end gross. If he chooses to topline big commercial ensembles like the Oceans series or star opposite a giant wave, that's fine. because they're Oscar-worthy, like Syriana and Good Night and Good Luck, that few other actors would have risked, that's fine too.
Harrison Ford, who's too scared to star in Traffic or Syriana. There is value in a movie star like Jodie Foster (The Brave One aside, a violent action movie nobody wanted to see her in) or Clooney who represents quality.

Michael Clayton a tricky sell because the movie lacked car chases and the usual formulaic thrills and chills--that's exactly why the movie is so good

No room for exclusion

john | 18 October, 2007 23:51

071018

European still fall victim to poverty and exclusion. Despite rising growth in most EU countries, the figures are alarming poverty threatens 16 % of the population, one European in five lives in sub-standard housing, one in ten live in households where nobody works, and the proportion of early school leavers is over 15% Poverty and social exclusion are unacceptable in a Europe founded on the principle of solidarity.

The EU commission is therefore proposing a active inclusion strategy proper income support with a link to the labour market and better access to enabling social services. Social inclusion and participation in the labour market go hand in hand. People at the margins of society therefore have to be supported with sufficient resources and personalised employment and social services.

Social inclusion and participation in the labour market go hand in hand. People at the margins of society therefore have to be supported with sufficient resources and personalised employment and social services. However, finding a job does not guarantee social integration or an escape from poverty. Job quality also has to be improved, and job retention promoted.

The active inclusion strategy is the result of a public consultation launched last spring and now in its second phase. Employers, employees and other interested parties have until 28 February 2008 to share their views on how to encourage the active inclusion of disadvantaged people.

A vital source of support for the active inclusion strategy is the European social fund, which allocates over €10bn a year to help people looking for work.

"One of the perceptions had of George Clooney was he was this big, strong guy. And he was very little I met him. "Angelina Jolie is sort of amazing because everyone thinks she's like this great beauty. And not saying she's an unattractive woman, but she's not beauty, by any stretch of the imagination.

He is so right.He really knows beauty, just want to run my fingers through his hair and kiss him long and hard on the mouth. I want to suck his plump earlobes and whisper hot dirty thoughts into his ear. He's so hot that mere thoughts of him send me into overdrive clooney really understand beauty
