Ladies Please!

George Clooney got in a slap fight with Fabio. That has to be the most incredible opening sentence I’ve writen in awhile. They were dining at the same eatery in LA, and one of Fabio’s bitches started snapping shots of their table. Apparently, Clooney and his date were at a table next to them and Clooney got heated when he thought he was being photographed.

According to numerous eyewitnesses, Clooney, assuming the woman was taking snaps of him, asked her to stop – prompting Fabio to explain that the shots were of his group, not Clooney, and to tell the superstar, “Stop being a diva.” Clooney started arguing back, and he and Fabio then got into a shoving match. “The waiters broke it up before it got out of hand,” a witness told In Touch. Clooney then paid his check and left before finishing his meal. According to another In Touch witness, Ron Marotto, “George looked annoyed when Fabio went to his table. George stood up, dropped the F-bomb and then went to push him . . . George was drinking . . . He wasn’t drunk, but he certainly wasn’t stone sober, either.” Fabio’s manager told the magazine, “George is lucky he didn’t end up in the ER.”

First of all, a middle-aged man with long shoulder length sunstreaked hair telling another man to “stop being a diva” is a true comedy moment. Secondly, I like how Fabio’s rep makes him out to be this total brawler when we all know a bird defeated him on a roller coaster. Thirdly, George Clooney’s drunk ass got in a catfight with Fabio. Oh my god, I *heart* my job.

    This is funny.

    George sitting there, minding his own business working his Clark Gable charm on his date, to look up and see that big hulking eejit Fabio and his possee pretending to snap pics of each other. Then for Fab to go to his table and tell him to stop acting like a Diva. Priceless.

    Fabio must be one bitter D-Lister, he’s probably totally jealous of George and his silver hair.

  2. T-Bone

    Not a fan of Fabio, per se (to the extent that I’ve never even thought twice about him), but I think I even like arrogant George Clooney less. Clooney needs to remember where he came from…the sitcom The Facts of Life, no less.

  3. Zekers

    …and I don’t believe any of it because “In Touch” was the source.

  4. Michelle

    Someone said it best when they said George Clooney is acting so freaking retarded with his ex pole dancing floozy, that it’s like watching a Prince turn into a toad before your eyes.

  5. Frenchica

    This Fabio guy sure looks like an old horse with a tricky smile

    I’ve never posted a comment here and probably never will, again, but the fact of this set-to, PLUS your wonderful reportage, has given me the best laugh of the day – maybe the week.

    Salud, you diva!

  7. fabio is an ass but clooney more so. can’t take criticism and obviously a nasty drunk. a corporate whore who pretends to be some kind of moralist then grabs the big bucks from any ethical vacuum of a conglomerate that’ll ante up his price. wanna make a film about corporate greed in america? forget michael clayton, he should use a home video. says he won’t apologise for making a living – yeah right, he’d be on the streets without the coffee ads. talks big, acts little.

    p.s men who “like strong women” have independent girlfriends who aren’t young enough to be their daughters and aren’t financially hobbled to them.

  8. bikertroll

    What Michelle said. So over Clooney and he needs to get some help with the drink. He once said something like he didn’t wanna turn 40 and still be out skank chasing – the latest aint exactly classy.

  9. TiredofthisCrap

    Well, now if you asked someone politely to stop taking pictures and they responded with a smart ass comment and you were a little drunk… you’d do the same thing he did. We don’t know exactly what was said and how it was said. Remember Fabio is telling his side, we haven’t heard from George and George shouldn’t even respond. No one was arrested or hurt, much ado about nothing.

    George doesn’t want to get married, doesn’t it make sense to spend time with women you WOULDN”T COMMIT to? What is the point of him dating women who want a commitment he’d end up hurting them,, remember what happened with Teri Hatcher ? These women serve a purpose for him and he serves a purpose for them. He just need to be a bit more discreet.

    George is sure a SNOB.

    And his girlfriend could really use some polish. She’s really missing the PR people that tricked us into thinking she was classy in Venice. She needs more of those make over habits to stick.

    Like a combed hairdo, NYLONS on her legs, and a bra would be nice. She barely holds his hand. Maybe being with him isn’t so fun when he’s acting like a jerk. She isn’t beaming with her teeth looking like the chrome grill of 50 Cadillac for once….

    Couldn’t agree with you more edleda!
    But you know it’s difficult for the Nespresso Coffee Guy trying to MAKE A LIVING and at the same time having to fork out for the up keep of the pole dancing youngster he calls his girlfriend.
    Get some class George… drop the cockroach eating stripper for someone your own age who has a little dignity and class. Maybe then we would all be sat here having a discussion about your impressive film career and talents as a film maker. (No I’m NOT talking about the Nespresso, Martini and wristwatch ads)
    Then maybe you could get on with whole Hollywood thing and stop acting like a 21 year old tosser trying to impress his floosy in restaraunts.

  12. Christine

    We don’t know exactly what happened!! It mustn’t be obvious to go to restaurant without photographers take you or be disturbed by flash …or other when you just go out from your hotel.. It sound that Georges is happy with Miss Larson. He sounds be in love since Venizia. Noone can know about their love story. It’s new. Georges is 46 so perhaps search a woman for long time.
    PS sorry for my english i am french

    This gave me a good laugh today. Fabio called another man a diva, how macho. I doubt it’s true but still made me giggle. Didn’t know about the new Clooney girl – don’t know about her past either but she looks awful young in those photos. She isn’t fat so why is she wearing a sack? Lets face it he isn’t the type of guy who probably pays much attention to a woman’s conversation. And who cares? He’s still hotter than heck.

  14. dana

    Just checked on this article as it sounded funny though I think is it a lie or at least an exaggeration. Comments surprising, seem harsh. Fabio is a big joke. Don’t know much about Clooney but seems decent enough eg Darfur etc. So he’s picked up a young chick, so what? He’s rootin her not putting her up for Congress.

    Edleda – you’re obviously more politically clued up so 1/ why waste your time on a fluffy site like ths and 2/ I get the impression he cares more than most airhead celebs so why not find fairer game?

  15. Dom

    TiredofthisCrap – you call him George and seem to know him very well – sure you aren’t a friend of his.

    Christine – good English – way better than most English speakers’ 2nd language.

    Kate – what is a tosser?

    Bonnie – What’s wrong with you? You think he is hot although he doesn’t care about what a woman has to say? Abuse victim idealogy.

  16. Jen

    George is a great caring person and we should be glad he is happy whoever he is happy with. Haters. Same problem as on YouTube – always more ready to vent spleen than fans.

  17. Kate

    Okay, I can’t believe I’m back on this website for a second time. (All respect of coarse given to the website) however, I don’t usually do this. I can feel my mid-life crisis breathing on the back of my neck – early onset of coarse!
    First of all:

    Dom – I think I’d be correct in guessing you’re not British.

    Tosser is a noun drived from the verb ‘to toss’.
    It is a word so commonly used in Her Majesty’s Kingdom nowadays that it has been entered into the good old Oxford.

    Toss (verb) 1. throw up, esp. with the HAND.
    2. roll about, throw, or be thrown, restlessly or from side to side.
    3. throw a thing lightly or carelessly (depending on how much you like yourself)

    (Noun) 1. coarse slang masturbate

    …and so.. to toss is to masturbate or as is more commonly known as… to wank.
    Tosser = Wanker

    My Goodness you know, it’s just hit me, what a terribly nasty thing to say.
    I called GC a wanker.
    Okay for the sake of being polite (which of coarse I should be) I take it back. GC is not a tosser. I’m sure he’s a decent enough chap and who knows what happened in that restaurant. After all it did involve Fabio (My Goodness what a slimy looking creature he is..but I won’t get started on that)

    PS Christine, Dom is right! No need to worry about your English, it far exceeds my French. But wasn’t it lovely of Dom to point that out? What a tremendously gentlemanly thing to do! So chivalrous does this man appear that I was left feling so terribly guilty about being such a bitch to Mr. Clooney. But come on it’s okay to be a bitch some of the time isn’t it?

    Au Revoir (hope I spelt that right)

    I can’t believe it’s not butter

  19. TiredofthisCrap

    Now would one of George’s friends post on website. :). He doesn’t mind that we address him as a familiar, just as long as we don’t call him names, like Fabio. I met him once and he is really nice. That is why I don’t believe this garbage. They even have a blatantly photoshopped photo on TMZ.com. It shows George giving them the finger, but the finger looks extraordinarily large. One of the women actually has a video on the site as well. Really, a bunch of nonsense that he shouldn’t address. The photos show that they were actually taking pictures of George and his dinner companions, even though they swear theye weren’t. I think George and his friends should be able to enjoy a meal without being photgraphed. His mistake was he should have went to the management and had them talk to Fabio and his guests. That would have eliminated the confrontation between the two and this nonsense would have never seen the light of day.

    I wish folks just leave Sarah Larson alone, she should be able to date this man without having her self esteem attacked on a daily basis. If he likes her and she likes him that is their business.How many of you who call her ugly, trashy or worse, aren’t ugly, trashy or skanky yourselves? I beleive people who attack other anonymously are cowards.

  20. Deena

    I think the main reason for the words about Sarah Larson is that George has been dating much younger woman after woman who all seem to be out of work body models, no exaggeration, like the last 4 or 5 of them, and all look alike. Their maximum age appears to be 32 as well, then they are traded in. That isn’t Sarah’s fault exactly, however it’s tough for her to have the same pedigree as the rest of them and to not look like a setup or paid companion.

    Fabio is sexy as hell

    Though this comment is a “day late” it’s not a dollar short. George is famous cause he rode the coat-tails of his Aunt & famous singer Rosemary Clooney not because of his outstanding good-looks or incredible acting ability. Fabio did have that not a famous name to ride on, he came here young from another country & walked into a Top-notch modeling agency and the rest is history. Fabio is famous for being so beautiful & sexy and that book Pirate is off the hook, loved it. If Fabio wasn’t on those books covers, butter or whatever else he pimps, I’m certain that I along with many other women, would not have bought any of those books or products, sh*t I don’t even like butter but I bought it. I’ll bet I speak for many women when I say, I’d rather look at Fabio on the big-screen over George any day.
