George Clooney: Standing Ovation in Houston!

George Clooney: Standing Ovation in Houston!

George Clooney is the special guest of honor for the Conversation With George Clooney talk held at the Wortham Center Brown Theater on Thursday (May 3) in Houston, Tex.

The 50-year-old actor spoke with interviewer Lynn Wyatt in front of a packed crowd. The evening began with a standing ovation for George, and ended with the crowd singing “Happy Birthday” for his birthday, which falls this Sunday.

When Lynn asked if George risked his life to visit the Sudan, he replied, “I was in Batman & Robin. That was risking my life. I almost killed a franchise.”

He also shared with the audience his life motto: “Be the person that your dog thinks you are.”

he’s harsh on himself regarding Batman & Robin.
I think he was one of the better ones. Too bad the script was lousy.
And besides, I wasn’t even in it :))
Adam West or Michael Keaton were dull.
Val Kilmer -> mediocre & Christian Bale rather vapid.

…. what seemed like a most fitting description of the man simultaneously grateful for yet somewhat mystified by his fame was met with humor. Wyatt told Clooney his self-deprecation, making people feel at ease was one of the things she most admires about him. “It’s like you don’t take yourself seriously,” she said perceptively, “but you take life seriously. How do you make it seem so easy?”
Clooney paused for effect. “I drink,” he said.

I thought it was “Be the Sugar Daddy” your latest ho thinks you are.

So he wooed them with charm & sex appeal. Never a dull moment.
How lucky was that crowd!!! Interesting topic:

Haven’t seen him with Keibler lately. Maybe it’s over?

Well I was there and George was excellent. He was witty, charming, thoughtful, and handsome. So bottomline is he was brilliant. Sorry some of you didn’t see how charming he was. Couldn’t have asked for a better evening.

TIMEKEEPER @ 05/04/2012 at 3:19 pm

He doesn’t look old! He looks like he had a sleepless night and tired! It happens to the best of us. It must be an epidemic of a*s*s*hole central these days. Anna is being skewered too. Give it a rest people!!!!!

Mr smooth. George Clooney is an example to wannabes in HW.

George said he doesn’t like cruelty and adopting Einstein was one of the kindest acts another person can do:

He saved him… so he most definitely is the person his dog wants him to be: his carer & friend.

TIMEKEEPER @ 05/05/2012 at 1:21 am

Scott @ DLA Piper – Thanks for sharing the video. Einstein is so adorable and precious! It is hard not to fall in love with the little tyke. Einstein deserves a quiet happy life filled with love. He is a very good boy!

TIMEKEEPER @ 05/06/2012 at 2:54 pm

From Anna- Happy Birthday Baby Boy! Have a beautiful day filled with love, happiness, and lots of cake and icecream!! Enjoy!

I must admit, you were very, very sweet yesterday.
Too sad, we can never meet, don’t want to cause you a heart attack.
Just stopping by to show some LOVE :))

cindigirl @ 05/07/2012 at 9:35 am

wasn’t it Anna’s birthday last month? Not yesterday. Someone is messin’ with me. Just sayin’

for whom the bell tolls @ 05/07/2012 at 9:47 am

@Alwara: Such big head. Such egocentricity… Don’t flatter yourself, honey. You’re not capable of causing a heart-attack :) Not even a mild raising of the pulse.
Really.

TIMEKEEPER @ 05/07/2012 at 11:21 am

Alwara- Oh you are toooo funny! Ha ha! Now you are trying put some poor defenseless women in the hospital? Have you no shame?? Lol! Anna just wanted Georgie Baby Boy to know that she wish him a very Happy Bday. I believe the one that would be getting the heart attack would not be on our team…..You big flirt………… Grin
Cindigirl uh… It was GEORGE CLOONEY’S Birthday yesterday not Anna. Anna’s is closer to the end of the year. Winky wink……

@TIMEKEEPER: thanks, Kirstie Alley… How DO YOU KEEP UP WITH THE CHARADE???Lol…winky… winky…..
MADNESS RUNS IN YOUR LUMBERJACK roots??
How many sockpuppets do you have?
Never mind… You’re all over the place. And you sure as helll aren’t Anna nor know Anna. But you DO ADVISE STAN ROSENFIELD.
And you do source new hoookers for Clooney. DWTS being your specialty. Is he resisting? Your special puppet-on-a-string fool??

Donkeys 2012 @ 05/07/2012 at 11:30 am

@hmh1108: oh, but don’t you know…. TIMEKEEPER / KIRSTIE ALLEY switched from davidarochelle (an extra she pays to use her identity as a sockpuppet) then annemarie and SO SO MANY MORE…in just 15 mins. Whackjob!
But senility & old age is creeping up….She slips.

@Donkeys 2012: either that or Timekeeper aka Kirstie Alley’s gastric band is too tight. Hahahahaha….. At least she’s versatile. Hahahahhaha
KIRSTIE ALLEY -small screen actress, pr networking advisor, DWTS advisor, promoter of Organic Liaison placebo effect pills to suckers…. Tsk tsk tsk….

Donkeys 2012 @ 05/07/2012 at 11:39 am

@hmh1108: don’t forget extra-terrestrial. Occupying their human life form here on earth with her other freak show scientology family… The posse stick together.
Dumbasss suckers of a foolish cult. The two-digit IQ prerequisite candidacy…
Suckers alright!!!

Timothy Tomahawk @ 05/07/2012 at 11:54 am

@ Kirstie Alley – so who’s the next sk’ank you done selected for George?
how much time are you keeping on this one, Timekeeper?

Lainey Ling @ 05/07/2012 at 12:05 pm

Well, yes, everyone knows that Kirstie has a pr network that advises 75 year old Stan Rosenfield on Clooney’s public image.
AND RUNS IT TOO!
But Kirstie branched out in various fields. I’d call it multi-dimensional.
I hear Kirstie Alley already signed up the next one. Clooney’s a pushover, according to Kirstie. And she thinks she ordered a more appropriate “mail order” concubine this time.

TIMEKEEPER @ 05/07/2012 at 1:17 pm

Sick disgusting people! All of you! God bless you! Mental illness is rampant these days. George’s rep will continue to fall unfortunately to this mess. I have better things to do!
