Stars pals help Clooney promote his tequila
The good thing about being George Clooney — well, I’d need 10,000 words to list all the good things about being George, but one of them, apparently, is that if you feel like making a little commercial for your new tequila brand, you can get Stacy Keibler and Cindy Crawford to star in it, no problem.
You saw my item the other day about George and his pal Rande Gerber, a.k.a. Mr. Crawford, launching their Casamigos tequila. Now the N.Y. Post says the guys and their ladies have made a “oneminute movie” commercial, for the Internet. It’s “loosely based on a true story,” about “various odd couplings.”
This epic, shot at one of Clooney’s homes — which one not specified — is titled: It Could Happen, Please Drink Responsibly.
Might just possibly be worth watching. I’ll keep you posted.
It’s shaping up as a big couple of weeks for Beyoncé: She’s on the cover of the new GQ, due out Tuesday, wearing not much and deemed No. 1 among the mag’s “100 Sexiest Women of the 21st Century.”
Then she’s singing the U.S. national anthem at the Capitol at Barack Obama’s inaugural on Jan. 21. And she’ll do the Super Bowl halftime show Feb. 3.
Otherwise, not much going on, career-wise; maybe she needs a new agent.
Planning to watch the Golden Globes Sunday Night? I wasn’t, until I heard that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were going to host.
It got even better when The Hollywood Reporter challenged them to make some rules for a Golden Globes drinking game: Fey: Any time an actress cries in a speech, drink. Any time you see a person actively not listening to someone onstage, drink. Poehler: Any time someone says, “I didn’t prepare anything!” Fey: Any time anyone thanks Harvey Weinstein, eat a meatball sub. THR: How about any time they show Judi Dench? Fey: Yeah. You take off an article of clothing. Poehler: Any time Maggie Smith wins.
Courteney Cox — remember her? — tells a mag called New You that she’s not afraid of laser treatments, Botox, or whatever:
“I’m game for anything. I’m very open to trying to prolong the inevitable.”
She’s 48.
Justin Bieber, who’ll make his debut as Saturday Night Live host on Feb. 9, has told the writers he’s OK with jokes about marijuana, says the N.Y. Daily News.
This follows those TMZ.com photos of him smoking a handrolled cigarette on Jan. 2 with his new buddy, rapper Lil Twist and others “at a big party” in a hotel room in Newport Beach, Calif.
And the Daily Mail says JB had left the hotel room only once on Jan. 1, to go for lunch at a joint — so to speak — called Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles. Later he tweeted a quasi-apology: “Every day growing and learning; trying to be better … I never want to let any of you down.”
We’ll see what the SNL writers make of all this. JB is 18.
