Actor/activist George Clooney is set to host a fundraising party for President Barack Obama next month in a bid to boost his re-election campaign.

The Ides of March star and longtime Obama admirer will welcome the leader and 150 of his supporters at his Los Angeles residence on May 10th, with guests paying almost $40,000 per ticket.

All proceeds will be donated to the Obama Victory fund and Clooney insists he's thrilled about opening up the doors of his home for the occasion.

He tells Entertainment Tonight, "I'm proud to do whatever I can to support the President... as long as no one ...

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a hot tourist spot in Los Angeles as well as a dream for many actors to be recognized on Hollywood Boulevard by getting their name on a star- or is it? While some of the 2,450 plaques belong to unknown “celebrities” have stars on the Walk of Fame as well as cartoon characters, magicians and one hit wonders, there are a few iconic stars that have opted not to see their name in the stars.

George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Clint Eastwood and all are missing from the famous tourist attraction. Is it because they don’t think it’s as much of a big deal as someone ...

George Clooney joked with the secret service officials who arrested him in Washington, D.C. on Friday and told them he was Brad Pitt.

The movie star was among 15 activists who were handcuffed and taken into custody for refusing requests to move on and abandon a protest outside the Sudanese embassy. He was charged with disorderly crossing a police line.

Clooney, his father Nick and the others arrested were demonstrating as part of a humanitarian campaign to raise awareness about the fragile situation between Sudan and the newly-independent South Sudan, where locals have been driven into ca...

Alexander Payne's seriocomic "The Descendants," an adaptation of the novel by Kaui Hart Hemmings, stars George Clooney as Matt King, a middle-age Hawaiian who runs a trust responsible for millions of dollars worth of untouched real estate that has been passed down to him and various cousins.

With his two daughters in tow, along with his oldest daughter's ...

George Clooney's girlfriend Stacy Keibler is in talks to host the upcoming season of hit TV series The X Factor, according to a new report.

Music mogul Simon Cowell has been scrambling to find the talent show's new dream team ever since host Steve Jones and judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul were axed in January.

Now, reports suggest former professional wrestler Keibler is in negotiations to front the program.

A source tells the New York Post, "She looks fantastic and has bags of charisma."

Cowell has previously expressed his desire to sign both a male and female host to repl...

George Clooney has been arrested in Washington, D.C. at a protest outside the Sudanese embassy.

The star gave a speech on the steps of the building on Friday and was seized after he ignored three warnings from cops to leave the area. The events were confirmed by campaign group Enough Project.

In an interview on Today, which aired on Wednesday, the...

George Clooney is calling on his fellow Americans to join him for a protest outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington, D.C. this week in a bid to halt the region's violent conflict over oil.

The Descendants star made a secret trip to newly-independent South Sudan last week to gather information about the country's feud with neighboring Sudan ahead of his appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.

It was Clooney's sixth trip to the troubled African region and although he admits it was his most "hairy" visit to date after he was caught up i...

George Clooney jetted to South Sudan last week to witness the country's hunger crisis at first hand and gather information before addressing members of Congress in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.

The Descendants star is slated to speak before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee about South Sudans' oil feud with neighboring Sudan, and, in order to stay abreast of the current situation in Africa, he risked his own personal safety and made a quick trip to the war-torn nation.

Clooney met with South Sudan's president and minister of defense to discuss the fight over natural resources and he...

Kony and his terrorist group got their start in northern Uganda and have since left the region but are still active in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, and South Sudan.

Kony is a monster and needs to be stopped. Th...

Longtime bachelor George Clooney refuses to be insulted by rumors about his sexuality because he insists there's no shame in 'coming out'.

The Descendants star's sexual orientation has been questioned by gossips for decades, despite his many high-profile romances, but the actor doesn't feel the need to clear his name by setting the record straight because he has too much respect for the gay community.

He tells The Advocate magazine, "I think it's funny, but the last thing you'll ever see me do is jump up and down, saying, 'These are lies!' That would be unfair and unkind to my good friend...

I was back on the red carpet last night and I am still recovering from celebrity overload. This year, the Academy chose to recognize the changing media landscape and they created a whole area for online media. They warned us that it was a work in progress and to be flexible this year as they were trying to accommodate as many of us as possible. Well, I couldn't have been happier with our area because the nominees and presenters are big fans of online media. You know it's a great day on the carpet when Meryl Streep, Demian Bichir, and Berenice Bejo stop by to say "hi". So, sit back, rel...

A fake movie trailer stole the spotlight from the Academy Awards last night, thanks to Jimmy Kimmel's ability to line up a cavalcade of stars.

In the fake teaser, Edward Norton (playing the world's greatest spy) gets married to the President of the United States (Josh Brolin) in a ceremony ordained by Antonio Banderas.

Colin Farrell is a SWAT officer that has to defuse a bomb with the help of a field goal-kicking canine. Tom Hanks is a robotic lawyer that takes on ornery judge Charlize Theron. Bryan Cranston is a hot dog vendor that seems to always be near an explosion.

Jeff Goldblum i...

Jean Dujardin has apologized for swearing in French as he picked up his Best Actor Oscar on Sunday night.

The French star took gold at the glitzy ceremony in Los Angeles for his role in silent movie The Artist, seeing off competition from George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Gary Oldman and Demian Bichir.

Dujardin was ecstatic as he made his acceptance speech and he invoked his The Artist character George Valentin to yell exclamations in French, including a curse word which is the equivalent of dropping the 'f-bomb'.

He was asked about his swearing during a backstage press conference and Dujard...

The Academy Awards aren't just about the movies - they're about the fashion and what the stars wore on the red carpet at the year's biggest event.

This year, much like the ceremony itself, there were few surprises and all the stars looked fabulous on the red carpet outside the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles. Well, okay - Kristen Wiig's brown J. Mendel dress and Meryl Streep's gold Lanvin gown? Not so much.

This year's highlights include Angelina Jolie looking stunning - although also a bit thin - in a black Atelier Versace dress that's almost an exact match of the one Jennifer Aniston wore ...

Tom Hanks, who ended last year's Academy Awards by announcing Best Picture winner The King's Speech, started things off at this year's Oscars by handing out the evening's first two awards, for Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction. Both awards went to Martin Scorsese's 3D family film Hugo, quickly setting the tone for a possible upset in the coveted Best Picture category at the end of the ceremony.

But that wasn't to be, as frontrunner The Artist took most of the night's major awards, including Best Picture, Actor (Jean Dujardin) and Director (Michel Hazanavicius).

Both films finishe...

Last year, I wrote this whole piece about why The King’s Speech would beat out The Social Network for best picture. I found my own comments to be witty, on point. Genius. (I’m kidding… maybe). In fact, I love to go through the nomination list of the Academy Awards and Grammys every year and predict the winners, put up some jellybeans in a friend pool and brag about my winnings later.

The Grammys unfortunately are a joke, which is a huge shame given that music and the politics of it are my first love. The Oscars? Quite relevant, actually! My favorite writer (Grantland’s Bill Simmons) once s...

A bunch of stars attended QVC presents The Buzz red carpet cocktail party at the Four Seasons hotel in Los Angeles yesterday, including Stacy Keibler and Kim Kardashian.

George Clooney's squeeze looked tall and lean in a tight sleeveless purple dress with nude pumps. We can understand why her nickname used to be "Legs."

In contrast, Kim looked curvaceous in a black dress that showed off her shoulders. She accessorized with large gold hoop earrings.

Which look do you prefer? Slim and trim or curvy?

George Clooney has launched a new fundraising drive to help entertainers who have fallen on hard times.

The star and film producer Jeffrey Katzenberg hope to raise $350 million to benefit the Motion Picture & Television Fund (MPTF), which provides heath care and other services to struggling showbusiness professionals and retirees.

The campaign has already raised $200 million, thanks to numerous co...

Stacy Keibler wore a tuxedo-inspired suit to the Vanity Fair and Juicy Couture "Vanities" 20th anniversary party in Los Angeles yesterday.

What do you think of her black suit and metallic heels? We give her ensemble two thumbs up!

Stacy, who is famously dating the world's most eligible bachelor George Clooney, got her start in showbiz as a wrestler for WWE. The 5'11" star earned the nickname "Legs" while part of the organization. Her famous legs are an amazing 42 inches long!

It's all about lace on the red carpet this month. Sports Illustrated swimsuit models Bar Refaeli and Jessica Gomes recently wore blue lace gowns to promote their sexy magazine, and Emma Watson looked adorable in a red cocktail dress last weekend.

Now George Clooney's squeeze Stacy Keibler has joined the lace fashion bandwagon. During Mercedes-Benz fashion week in New York yesterday she stood out in a sexy form fitted gown. We just wish she chose a pair of more delicate shoes.

Goth rocker Taylor Momsen also wore a lace dress at the same event.

George Clooney showed off his artistic skills at the Oscars luncheon in Hollywood on Monday when he sketched an interviewer as a dog.

Entertainment Weekly and Access Hollywood reporter Dave Karger asked the movie star if he still had a knack for drawing caricatures - a job "The Descendants" star once had - and Clooney reached for his notebook and pen.

The actor joked, "The trick is, what I usually do at this point is draw a giant, like, penis and say, 'What do you think?'"

As he drew, he added, "I wanna get your eyes right, wanna get the ears right - your ears are sort of longer. You hav...

Stacy Keibler hosted Big Game Eve at the Bank Nightclub in Las Vegas on Saturday, and we can see why George Clooney is smitten with her. The former WWE wrestler showed off her amazing figure in a little black dress, leather jacket, and strappy red heels.

She reportedly has 42-inch long legs.

Stacy stars in the upcoming film "Dysfunctional Friends" opposite Stacey Dash, Tatyana Ali and Terrell Owens.

It started as a rumor first believed to be tongue-in-cheek, but now it appears it is true: George Clooney's ex Elisabetta Canalis is dating Steve-O!

Sources told RadarOnline that the couple met through Dancing With the Stars and have spent the last few weeks going to low key restaurants for dates. It was confirmed yesterday when they publicly kissed in L.A.

"Steve makes Elisabetta laugh, and that's her weakness. That was her favorite thing about George Clooney-he was always cracking her up and playing practical jokes on her," a source told RadarOnline.

Canalis broke up with George Cloo...

Many stars attended last night's Screen Actors Guild Awards, and black was one of the most popular colors on the red carpet.

Angelina Jolie showed off her particularly thin figure in a draped black gown. Other stars in black included Stacy Keibler, Jayma Mays, Amber Heard, Ashlee Simpson, Emma Stone, Glenn Close, Heather Morris, Tina Fey and Melissa McCarthy.

But there were some spots of color in the bunch, including Sofia Vergara's bright pink gown and Emily Blunt's seafoam green dress.

George Clooney has given away one of his directing secrets in a newspaper interview, revealing the first scene he shoots for a movie never makes it into the final cut.
