Clooney didn’t know he lived near Britney Spears until the area was surrounded by helicopters, police and paparazzi during the “custodial dispute” on January 3 that resulted in her two-night hospital stay.
“I’d gone upstairs, and I came out and I’m in a robe. All of the sudden I see all this s–t going on.
“I have a guest house where my assistant sometimes is, and I think, someone has broken out of prison and like escaped, because it’s a chase scene. It’s something out of Die Hard.
“I get my baseball bat, which is what you always get in every film – I actually think Clive Owen said, ‘Get a baseball bat’ – and I called up my assistant, who I thought was in the guest house, and I said, ‘Are you OK?’
“And she’s like, ‘Yes.’
“And I said, ‘Look, if there’s someone in the place, say the word stonehenge.’
“And she’s like, ‘What the f–k are you talking about? I’m in my apartment.’
“I go, ‘You’re not in the guesthouse?’
“‘No.’
“So I’m, like, ‘Well, then, what the f–k is going on?’ And I go out and I’m running around with a baseball bat in my robe.
“And it turns out it’s Britney Spears’ house is like, 300 yards from mine. So now I have to move.”
I’m surprised Britters hasn’t tried to break into Clooney’s house for a little lovin’.
