George Clooney is adamant he will never have children or marry again, despite finding love at 46 with former waitress Sarah Larson. Fifteen years after Hollywood’s favorite bachelor vowed never to walk down the aisle again, following his divorce from Talia Balsam, he is still convinced marriage isn’t for him.

Clooney says, “I said those things in 1993 and it has kind of stuck with me ever since. The truth is that it’s not a consideration. I don’t think I will have children – it’s a big responsibility. But I don’t have this mantra that I go around screaming.”

Brad Pitt’s pal George Clooney has joined the ranks of those gossiping about Angelina Jolie’s baby bump, joking her bloated belly might just be a bad case of gas. The couples’ representatives are still refusing to confirm or deny the actress’ reported pregnancy, which was the talk of the Film Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday. The pair raced up the ‘blue’ carpet, refusing all interview requests, but it was clear from Jolie’s bloated belly that the actress may, indeed, be pregnant, as reports suggest.

And now Clooney is weighing in on the mystery. Speaking on the red carpet at the Oscars on Sunday, the movie star joked, “Well, there’s a lot of problems. Either it’s a tremendous amount of gas which is just not likely… Really, not likely.”

A portrait of George Clooney has been made using 10,000 sweets.

The image of the 46-year-old actor – who is nominated for the Best Actor Oscar for his role in Michael Clayton at the Academy Awards on Sunday – was commissioned by the Jelly Belly Gourmet Beans Company.

The piece – which features Cotton Candy beans for George’s cheeks and Buttered Popcorn candy for his highlighted hair – will be donated to a charity of George’s choice later this week.

It will be displayed at the company’s suite at Beverly Hills’ Luxe Hotel until its donation.

It was recently revealed George spent $40,000 on a Valentine’s Day treat for girlfriend Sarah Larson, when he paid for the couple to spend the night in the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa in Las Vegas’ Playboy Tower in the Palms Casino Resort.

The 9,000 sq ft Sky Villa features an indoor waterfall, a round rotating bed complete with mirrors on the ceiling, a swimming pool, plasma TVs, a massage room, exercise room, sauna, media room and two bedrooms.

Before heading back to their luxurious suite, George and Sarah, 28, went for a romantic meal at exclusive Las Vegas’ restaurant Nove and watched the Cirque Du Soleil tribute show to the Beatles, Love, at the Mirage Hotel and Casino.

PS: I saw Michael Clayton yesterday, and while George was good, if he wins the Oscar over Daniel Day Lewis, I will lose all hope in humanity.

George Clooney is already practicing his “it’s an honor just to be nominated” speech, telling Time magazine in a new interview that he doesn’t have a shot at beating out Daniel Day-Lewis for Best Actor at Sunday’s Academy Awards.

“For me, it’s like being Hillary Clinton,” says the Michael Clayton star. “If it weren’t for Barack Obama, it would have been a very good year.” Adds Clooney: “I thought Daniel Day-Lewis had the best performance of the year.”

Over the years, Clooney has played many roles: actor, director, peace activist. But one role he really relishes is Oscar forecaster. Apart from his own race, the actor handicaps other major categories, boasting to Time that he’s never lost an Oscar pool. Just how accurate are his picks? That will be determined on Feb. 24. But one thing is certain – Clooney’s pretty humble when it comes to his film, Best Picture nominee Michael Clayton.

“Our film is the best it can be in that genre,” he says, adding, “but there’s a ceiling on that genre.” Instead, Clooney predicts that No Country for Old Men will take the top prize, and its directors Joel and Ethan Coen will nab the Best Director trophy. (Clooney, a frequent Coen brothers collaborator, is starring in their latest movie, Burn After Reading.) He also gives a nod to Javier Bardem as Best Supporting Actor, whose arresting turn as psychotic killer Anton Chigurh in the film has already wracked up slews of awards – including a Golden Globe.

“If [Michael Clayton] has a shot at anything, it’s Best Supporting Actress with Tilda Swinton,” he says – though Clooney makes Amy Ryan, from Gone Baby Gone, his pick in that category.

The actor was also impressed by La Vie En Rose’s Marion Cotillard. “[She] does an old person trying to be young, instead of what everyone does – a young person trying to be old,” he says. “It’s a stunning performance.”

Sexy Hollywood actor George Clooney made Valentine’s Day special for his girlfriend, Sarah Larson. Apparently, he shucked out $40,000 for a hotel suite for her.

Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Meryl Streep, and Robert DeNiro have all taken out newspaper ads appealing to leaders of the Screen Actors Guild to start talks with movie studios in an effort to avert a possible strike. SAG members will reportedly hold a mass walk-out this summer after their current contract expires on June 30th if negotiations with studio bosses over pay and conditions do not prove fruitful.

The Hollywood stars want SAG directors to enter talks with studios before it’s too late to avoid strike action, and took out ads in trade papers Variety and The Hollywood Reporter to appeal to the leaders of the 120,000-strong union.

Their call comes just days after the Writers Guild of America (WGA) members voted to end a three-month strike over Internet royalties – which has crippled the American TV and movie industry – earlier this week. SAG national executive director Doug Allen insisted the union would open negotiations “at a time that will most benefit our members”.
