Why Would George Clooney Back Down?

No matter what you think of George Clooney, he generally comes off as a pretty upfront guy. Ask him a question and he will give you an answer. You may not like the answer, but he will give you one anyway.In the new edition of Rolling Stone, Clooney gave an interview and said some pretty nasty, but true things about Paris Hilton. Now, he is trying back peddle and saying that the magazine got it all wrong and he would never say anything bad about Paris Hilton? Why is he afraid of Paris Hilton? Does she have something on him? Did he and Paris do the dirty? Did he dress up in diapers or something? I mean this seems very un-George like and there must be something going on.

In the interview he said, “There is a funny thing that happens when you are a young actor. You equate financial success and getting jobs with whether or not you are good at it. And it still happens. That’s why there is Paris Hilton. Now I’m in trouble with Paris Hilton.”

He also called her a wannabe. I don’t think he said anything wrong or anything people would find disturbing. He is also assuming that Paris can read, or will read this, or that her friends are capable of reading it to her.

His reps are in full damage control mode and say that Rolling Stone took two sentences out of context and that the quote wasn;t in the spirit of the interview. WTF? Who cares? Again, why the big deal? Are you in love with the Hilton Honors program or something? It isn’t even that bad, which leads me to believe that George and Paris have a history and he doesn’t want her spouting off, or she knows something about George the rest of us don’t and so he is kissing butt like Larry King, and really losing my respect.
