When Clooney Came to Dinner Thank you, Joel Stein, for the wonderful story about George Clooney's visit [March 3]. You totally confirmed for me what I had thought was true: Clooney is just a cool, down-to-earth dude you would love to have a beer with. If there were more people like Clooney in Hollywood (people who don't mind laughing at themselves rather than who are dying for attention), young actors wouldn't be living such chaotic lives.

For once, the duo that makes up Gnarls Barkley—Danger Mouse (Brian Burton) and Cee-Lo Green (Thomas Callaway)—appear in the video in person...
Then the serpent came. Vinny pulled into Jenny’s driveway on his cool, training wheels-less bike one day. Thinking he needed help on that day’s homework, a name-acronym poem, I was already thinking of words that begin with the letter V when he walked over towards me...and my bike—my pink, four-wheel bike...
