Police in Milan, Italy have launched an investigation into a company trying to pass off a new line of clothing as items created and designed by George Clooney.

Two people are under investigation for alleged fraud after police seized garments and watches, which were to be launched under Clooney’s name next week.

The movie star, who is promoting new film Leatherheads in Italy – where he has a holiday home – says, “If someone tries to sell you clothes or watches that are based on me, don’t buy them.”

George Clooney was baffled by recent reports he was to wed girlfriend Sarah Larson, insisting he was only alerted to the story when a friend called to congratulate him.

The star was recently forced to deny he was to marry Larson after reports surfaced claiming he had proposed to the former cocktail waitress and they were planning a ceremony in Italy. But Clooney is convinced he was the last to know about the story.

He says, “My BlackBerry woke me up the other day. It was buzzing away and when I looked at the message it said I was getting married. I thought, ‘Wow! Somebody should tell Sarah!’”

George Clooney avoids searching his name on the internet, because he doesn’t like the “angry people” who inhabit cyberspace.

The Michael Clayton actor was shocked to discover “brutal” comments about himself online a few years ago, and vowed to stay away from the web as a result of the negative experience.

He says, “A few years ago, I went to check out this website that someone had talked about. There’s like, a thousand people sitting in dark rooms trashing you. Brutal! You’re like, ‘Wow, dude’. You see way too many angry people (on the internet). I remember getting off the machine and thinking, ‘Never, ever again’. I’d rather live in my own happy, quiet world where I think that everyone is nice.”

Hey George, we got nothing but love for ya over here!

George Clooney has donated $5.6 million to the United Nations peacekeeping force in war-torn Sudan, to enable the team to buy a fleet of helicopters.

The kind-hearted actor, who is a U.N. Messenger of Peace, has become a leading celebrity advocate for action against genocide in the Sudan after filming a documentary about the ongoing violence and refugee crisis there last year.

He has also set up the Not On Our Watch organization with his Ocean’s Thirteen castmates Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Don Cheadle – to help provide humanitarian aid in the region. But when Clooney learned of the plight of the U.N. peacekeeping force Unamid in Darfur, he immediately dug deep in his pocket to do something about it.

A source explains, “George was horrified by the Sudanese government’s ‘scorched earth’ (bomb) attacks on western Darfur last month.

“And when he was told that Unamid officials felt they could have done something about the attacks if they’d had the right equipment – they need 18 helicopters and so far have none – he decided to put his money where his mouth is.”
