Althouse: "Amal must go rest her neck now. It hurts from looking down on all of us."/"She is effing loving her new Hollywood lifestyle..."

October 25, 2015

"Amal must go rest her neck now. It hurts from looking down on all of us."/"She is effing loving her new Hollywood lifestyle..."

"... She looks like she knew the paps were coming. He looks like he knows she called them from the restaurant."/"I want this bitch's life, and I'm not alone. She knows it."/"Sure, why not, right?"

Comments at a Tom & Lorenzo post showing paparazzi photos of George Clooney and Amal Clooney emerging from a Beverly Hills restaurant. Tom & Lorenzo call attention to what appears to be deliberate posing for the purpose of displaying a handbag (which, once you think about it, makes the 4th photo ludicrous (in case you want something to think about other than how insanely good-looking these people are)).

Heartless Aztec said...: Addendum - It's probably her shoes. Anything Italian you inhabit makes you look better - sunglasses, sport cars, clothes, shoes, women/men - whatever.; 10/25/15, 8:13 AM
Laslo Spatula said...: Evidence that George Clooney is now pursey-whipped.

I am Laslo.; 10/25/15, 8:27 AM
Laslo Spatula said...: Tall, too thin, expensive bag, bug-eyed oversized sunglasses: she is the Hollywood Ghost Mantis.

I am Laslo.; 10/25/15, 8:33 AM
traditionalguy said...: Hollywood. It's one big movie set full of perfect "looking" actors strutting around to be seen. They do it well.; 10/25/15, 8:39 AM
The Godfather said...: I haven't been paying attention, but has she always been so skinny, or has she been ill?; 10/25/15, 8:48 AM
Laslo Spatula said...: "The Godfather said...
I haven't been paying attention, but has she always been so skinny, or has she been ill?"

She lives on a diet of salad greens, Perrier and George Clooney's semen.

I am Laslo.; 10/25/15, 8:55 AM

Curious George said...: "George Clooney is not one to mince words when it comes to his beliefs on those who deny climate change. Speaking to reporters in Beverly Hills on Saturday (November 9) ahead of the BAFTA Britannia Awards, Clooney said that in the wake of one of the most violent typhoons ever recorded, those who claim humans have nothing to do with causing stronger storms are defending a "stupid" and "ridiculous" argument."

That looks like a Bentley he's popping into. He has huge mansions in the UK and LA taht he flies to in a GIV.

Fuck you George Clooney.; 10/25/15, 9:21 AM

But only slightly more disposable.; 10/25/15, 9:37 AM
rehajm said...: Those folders are full of floorplans and exterior elevations. They're building something somewhere?

..and I think that's a Camry. Hybrid, 'cause they're those kind of people.; 10/25/15, 9:42 AM
Danno said...: Hollywood types - Ew!; 10/25/15, 9:45 AM
MisterBuddwing said...: Remember all that grief The Associated Press caught for referring to Amal Clooney in a tweet as "George Clooney's wife" instead of "human rights attorney"? Can't those news guys get ANYTHING right?; 10/25/15, 9:49 AM
Sebastian said...: "insanely good-looking"

But cf. CG: "in the wake of one of the most violent typhoons ever recorded, those who claim humans have nothing to do with causing stronger storms are defending a "stupid" and "ridiculous" argument.""

So: insane and good-looking. FIFY.; 10/25/15, 9:50 AM

Curious George said...: "wenbrobar said...

Well, he isn't fooling anyone because she's gay too. According to wikipedia she is a Lebanese. Damn carpet muncher.; 10/25/15, 10:00 AM
Curious George said...: "rehajm said...

..and I think that's a Camry. Hybrid, 'cause they're those kind of people."

I think you're right. That's his "public car." But Clooney owns a Porsche GT3 RS, and a 59 Corvette.; 10/25/15, 10:08 AM
Laslo Spatula said...: George is finding out that it is hard to have anal sex with a girl who has Concentration Camp Butt.

I am Laslo.; 10/25/15, 10:29 AM

bbkingfish said...: Do friends let friends keep blogging when the blogger gets lost blogging the comments sections of other blogs?

Blogging comments sections seems a pathetic cry for help. A classic sign of the blogger hitting absolute intellectual rock bottom. The loss of any semblance of self-control.

Does not the blogger have any family, if not friends? The time is over-ripe for intervention.

Act now. While there's still a chance for recovery...; 10/25/15, 10:50 AM
Wince said...: Amal Clooney is George Clooney's Huma Abidin.; 10/25/15, 10:53 AM
Wilbur said...: The woman is unattractive because she's purposefully too damn skinny. It's simple, really.

Speaking very generally, only women and fashionistas of the male gender dig that look. It definitely lends itself to fostering a good impression of one's clothes.

Whether Clooney is gay or a GW hypocrite is of less than great interest to me. I've never seen the man perform nor even heard him speak. It's unlikely I ever will.; 10/25/15, 11:02 AM

HoodlumDoodlum said...: Clooney's suit is nice but he needs to hit one more button--it's not the 70s man.

Amal is well dressed but is RIGHT on the edge of being skinny to the point of sunken-cheeked creepiness.; 10/25/15, 11:22 AM
MikeR said...: 'those who claim humans have nothing to do with causing stronger storms are defending a "stupid" and "ridiculous" argument." ' I suppose he doesn't know that the IPCC SREX (Special Report on Extreme weather) says that there is currently no evidence of increase in extreme weather - like powerful typhoons - though such is expected in the future. People think that everything that anyone says about climate change is included in the consensus, and it's just ignorant.

"I want this bitch's life, and I'm not alone." Insane. Why, because of fancy restaurants and expensive clothes? I wouldn't give a nickel for that over a happy marriage and healthy children. Not saying they don't have it, but the odds are a lot worse in Hollywood than anywhere else.; 10/25/15, 11:42 AM

It's just the Titus mentality. Many straight women are fascinated by it too. There's not a lot of "there" there.; 10/25/15, 11:46 AM

William said...: The Clooney's do not inspire the most charitable responses from the readers here. I could live with a wife who's a tad too thin. But one's immediate response in the face of all that perfection is to be suspicious. It has to be some kind of sham. That's not the way life works......She's not movie star beautiful. But that works to her advantage. She sets off his good looks. Plus it shows that he's got the character to admire and love a less than beautiful woman who is both smart and a human rights attorney. Not since Paul MCCartney married that amputee have I been more inspired by a fairy tale romance.; 10/25/15, 12:37 PM
The Cracker Emcee Refulgent said...: Are Tom and Lorenzo gay? Or is that an unwarranted assumption?; 10/25/15, 12:41 PM
jr565 said...: I have no comment as to the inner monologues in their minds since I, like most other people can't read minds. They look like two people who may or may not have been aware that papparazi were taking photos of them and walked to their car. The bag looks heavyish, but maybe she's just weak.
Who knows/; 10/25/15, 12:41 PM
jr565 said...: So here's my captions for the pictures in order.
1) George: Sometimes you can be a real smug bitch. these things happen to all guys from time to time.
Amla: I'm not saying anything, Mr. Hollywood movie star.
2)George: Is that where we parked? Is that our car?
Amla: Sigh, you don't even know where we parked?
George: Do you know where we parked?
Amla: Sigh
3)Amla: (thinking to herself) I have nothing but contempt for you George. Don't think you'll be getting any tonight.
4) George: so, that was a nice lunch. Very nice. Am I still in the dog house?
Amla: Eye rolls.
5) George: (thiking) Sheesh, what did I do? I married a dour ice queen. Maybe I should call Brad, and get Oceans 14 started so I can get out of the house.
Oh, it is our car honey! (Bitch!)
5: George (Thinking) I just farted! He who smelt it dealt it. Ha ha. Not that she'd appreciate it. I'm sure she'd complain about me being juvenile.
6)George: (seeing papparazi) Great, now the pappaparazi are taking pictures of us. I wonder if they got a picture of my wife's smile? Oh, yeah she doesn't do that, so probably not. I wonder if they got a picture of her looking like a sourpuss? oh yeah, that's all her pictures. Why didn't I make her sign the prenup?
Amla: Looking at doorman (eye rolls and head shaking)
7) George: after you milady.
Amla: no acknowledgement.
George (thinking) of course she didnt' acknowledge that I opened the door for her. What else is knew. She's going to go home and lock herself in the bedroom and cry.; 10/25/15, 1:01 PM
Achilles said...: Don't they have a democrat fundraiser to go to and not eat at?

These people are parodies.; 10/25/15, 1:24 PM
Big Mike said...: Purse looks plastic. No doubt I'm wrong.; 10/25/15, 1:34 PM
Birches said...: I don't find Amal all that attractive. Sometimes she can look good; she does look pretty good here, but sometimes she looks dreadful. I've noticed there's fewer and fewer dreadful days now that she's Mrs. Clooney. I guess she probably has her own full time stylist now.; 10/25/15, 1:38 PM
William said...: Whatever happened to land mines? Mrs. McCartney and Princess Di were all about the banning of land mines. Was that a victory for social justice celebrities or did their attention simply wander off to other causes? Maybe Mrs. Clooney could pick up the cause again.; 10/25/15, 4:28 PM
rehajm said...: Are Tom and Lorenzo gay? Or is that an unwarranted assumption?

I liked their show on NPR where they helped people with their car problems.; 10/25/15, 5:22 PM
gadfly said...: Amal is a skinny be-itch with sunken cheeks (as on her face - I cannot really determine what the cheeks under the skirt look like). I would diagnose Anorexia Nervosa. Although not a doctor, I stayed at Holiday Inn Express recently.; 10/25/15, 5:40 PM
I Have Misplaced My Pants said...: She reminds me of Huma Abedin. Both skeletal and hence unattractive, but both with gorgeous hair.; 10/25/15, 6:04 PM
MAJMike said...: She needs to eat a few cheese burgers.; 10/25/15, 6:39 PM
Deb said...: They are both boring as hell.; 10/25/15, 7:32 PM
Anonymous said...: I keep zeroing in on the pick stitching on his suit. Her wedding ring is too big; she must have lost weight.

It would be alarming to be a celebrity in the HD era.; 10/25/15, 9:26 PM
Darcy said...: Gosh. Where to start?

Merely a cute bag - does not match dress/shoes. Fashion fail.

She is not insanely good-looking in my view. She's boney and big-nosed. Her face reminds me of Joan Crawford's. I never found Crawford beautiful. Almost manly features. Both tried too hard with the lipstick

Ditto re Clooney about the looks. I don't think he's aged well. I find him "meh" and almost creepy looking at times.

Hollyweirds. Cheers to them.; 10/26/15, 7:43 AM
