George Clooney has bought his girlfriend a diamond ring.

The 48-year-old actor treated Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis to the Cartier band to show his commitment to their fledgling romance.

Matt Damon likes George Clooney because he has a great house.

The 'Informant' actor befriended George when they starred in 'Ocean's 11' in 2001, and has maintained the relationship because George loves splashing cash on his pals.

George Clooney wants to direct Matt Damon in a new movie about the 'War on Terror'.

The actor has singled out friend Matt - whom he previously starred alongside in Middle Eastern drama 'Syriana' - to star in a political film he is developing about Osama Bin Laden's former chauffer, entitled 'Hamdan v Rumsfeld'.

Matt Damon thought George Clooney was playing a trick on him when he gained weight.

The 'Informant!' actor - who raises three children with wife Luciana Bozan Barroso - was so unwilling to admit he had put on weight he convinced himself his actor pal had paid someone to alter all his clothes so they didn't fit.

George Clooney would rather have a rectal examination on live TV than join a social networking site.

The Hollywood actor isn't a fan of websites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter and says an intrusive medical would be a more preferable option than creating his own page.

George Clooney was left speechless by a gay fan who stripped and asked him to be his lover. The 48-year-old actor - who is widely considered one of Hollywood's sexiest actors - was promoting new movie "The Men Who Stare at Goats" Tuesday when the infatuated admirer declared his feelings.

The unidentified male stood up in the press conference and said: "I am gay, George, and I think I am in love with you... Please take me."
