Because I'm in LA, three interviews with three male actors: RPattz, the Zefron, and the man himself- George fucking Clooney. Two are from GQ and one's from Esquire, and yes, I really do read them for the articles.

The 9:10 to Crazyland
Esquire, March 2008

"George Clooney is also a brave man, and today he has agreed to spend a couple of hours exploring what the Internet has to say about George Clooney." Article written by the remarkable AJ Jacobs, who wrote the (highly reccomended) book The Year of Living Biblically and whose Esquire articles I always enjoy.

He's Hot. He's Sexy. He's Undead
GQ, April 2009

"He reads the gossip blogs and the Twilight fan fiction (“It’s surprisingly hard-core. And very well written”). He knows what the fake Robert Pattinson said on the fake Robert Pattinson Facebook page. (The fake Robert Pattinson claimed to have nailed Kristen Stewart. The fake Robert Pattinson was kind of like Chuck Bass, if Chuck Bass were uncouth enough to trumpet his conquests on somebody’s Wall.)" This is hilarious, but also kind of weirdly heartbreaking. I just want to hug the guy, if I didn't think it would traumatize him.

The Graduate
GQ, May 2009

"You get the feeling he knows he should be saying this, to the men’s magazine. That he knows a career built almost exclusively on the squealing ardor of preteen girls, on choreographed dance numbers set to expository pop tuneage so perkily inoffensive it makes early ’NSync sound like Howlin’ Wolf, is something a man has to live down before you can, y’know, call him a man." Zefron. <3

Both the GQ dates might be wrong, because apparently GQ does not believe in providing a date for its articles. I dated them off of when I'd posted them in my delicious account.

maybe we should just start using that tag randomly - i mean doesn't 'George Fucking Clooney' really apply to just about ANY part of life?

Hmm. You make a good point. And yet, I wouldn't want to mislead someone into thinking a post was about George Clooney when, in reality, it was about, oh, Chad Michael Murray and sparkly unicorns, you know?

I JUST noticed your 'history' tag... can i have a crush on you this early?
LOL! Also another tag I haven't used as often as I would like. Really, I just need an article about the History of Georgle Clooney. Two birds, one stone. :D

Good point... I mean to think that you're getting GC and then end up with Something-Michael Murray would be breaking like 25 international laws. Though sparkly unicorns... that would be kinda awesome...And really if angels are real who's to say that Dean wasn't wrong about unicorns too... (Oh hi 'off topic' nice to see you! come here often?)

Kinda almost related... I once wrote the editor of this encycolpedia that I've got to let him know that there's a flaw in the entry about GC. Actually got a very nice reply back from them letting me know that it would hopefully get corrected in the next edition. And no it doesn't make me a sad loser geek that one of the first thing i looked up was GC! It just means I used my GeekGirlPowers for good!
