All the standard humanitarian celebs like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Wyclef John and Lance Armstrong are joining forces to raise money for the victims of the terrible earthquake in Haiti. But it’s handsome George Clooney that will host a telethon on MTV next Friday to encourage the rest of us to help out. No other details are known yet, but we’ll fill you in as soon as they become available.

A rep for MTV confirmed said,  “I can confirm that George Clooney is working with MTV Networks to plan a Haiti relief telethon for next Friday, but those are the only details we can share at the moment. It’s all still coming together.”

According to Us Weekly, George has reached out to his celebrity pals and encouraged them to donate as well. His good friend Brad Pitt and partner Angelina Jolie have already pledged $1 million dollars. Lance Armstrong has donated $250,000 and Wyclef Jean is sending all donations from www.yele.org to Haiti.

Dr. Phil is the most ridiculous celebrity in my opinion. I totally lost respect for him when the tubby talk-show therapist started selling “diet books” and power bars that middle aged, overweight housewives scooped up by the handfuls because, ‘hes a doctor..and Oprah likes him’.

But now I think he’s just plain delusional. Sources report that Dr. Phil is desperate to have his life story played out on the big screen and he thinks the perfect person to portray would be…..wait for it…George freaking Clooney!

We hear the Oscar-nominated actor is reportedly being courted for the role of “Tell It Like It Is” Phil in a proposed film about his life — but if George’s lack of enthusiasm is any indication of his likeliness to take on the project, Phil better not hold his breath.

“Dr. Phil actually set up a meeting with George to pitch him on the idea,” according to The Globe. “George didn’t seem too overly excited, but did say he’d willing to read a script once it’s complicated and they’ll go from there.”

I’m thinking more along the lines of Phillip Seymour Hoffman or the very bald Michael Chiklis.

George Clooney is revising his role as hunky/ non-committal Dr. Doug Ross for the final episode’s of the show that made him a household name.

Sources confirm to Entertainment Tonight that George Clooney will be filming scenes for an appearance on “ER” this week. The final episode of “ER” will air Thursday night, April 2 now that NBC has extended the season’s run by three extra episodes. A one-hour clip show retrospective will run just before the final episode airs.

I know every woman over 35 thought GC was the bomb on ER, but I personally couldn’t stand that ridiculous “I”m a single, incredibly sexy pediatrician and I want to love but I just can’t” character. Do we really need to immulate that sort of man-child nonsense?

Celebrities hook up all the time for booty calls just like the rest of us…and I’m totally ok with that. But I am NOT ok with Paris Hilton giving her cooties to sexy George Clooney.

Paris and George have been spotted together alone twice recently, once at the Whiskey Bar and then again at Dan Tana’s. Since I refuse to believe that these two are working on an acting project together, so that must mean that these hook-ups are straight-up booty calls.

Ugh. I need to go find my happy place.
