The end could be near for whiny George Clooney

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 05 Desember 2014 | 20.50

Is George Clooney over?

Is the Oscar-winning actor, producer, director, screenwriter and recent bridegroom, a Kentucky-bred hottie who doubles as a liberal activist and world savior, annoyingly whiny, weird and washed up?

The hints that Clooney, 53, had grown as spoiled and culturally irrelevant as a dented can of Spam were evident even before another delectable man, the Welsh-born Oscar-winning actor Christian Bale, 40, articulated something that many admirers of high-end beefcake had already suspected. Clooney, a guy who men have long wanted to be and women wanted to love — heck, some gals craved to be him and guys were desperate to love him — is actually a girly man.

What? The next things you'll hear are that global warming isn't real and that Clooney's Batman was just an average guy in a tight rubber costume! ("Sorry about the nipples on the suit," Clooney said in October at New York Comic Con, where he promoted his coming movie "Tomorrowland," thus apologizing, 17 years too late, about his cringe-worthy star turn in the 1997 flick "Batman & Robin.")

This was the devastating pronouncement about Clooney made by Bale, who played a far less embarrassing Caped Crusader in subsequent movies:

"Boring," Bale said about him in a cover story in WSJ Magazine's December/January issue.

Bale was turned off, as many of us have become, by Clooney's incessant complaining about the paparazzi. He whinges about the persistent shutterbugs the way one might expect a pampered celebutard to moan about being forced to fly in business class.

"It doesn't matter that he talks about it. It's like, 'Come on, guys, just shut up and live your lives and stop whining about it.' I prefer not to whine about it," said Bale, who plays Moses in the movie "Exodus: Gods and Kings," due out next week.

Bale, who's kept the spotlight away from his personal life — he's been married for more than 14 years and has two kids with Sibi Blazic, 44, an American former model, makeup artist and personal assistant to actress Winona Ryder. It's not that photographers haven't tempted him to get rough. He described being in Italy on a film shoot when a man stood outside his hotel hurling obscenities at his wife. "Am I able to say I'm not gonna give him the satisfaction of angry Christian Bale coming after this man?" he said. "But equally, he's killing my humanity and my dignity as a husband if I do not, and he knows this. So you've got a choice."

Before his September wedding to British-Lebanese human-rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin, 36, Clooney persuaded the mayor of Laglio, Italy — Clooney owns a villa in Laglio, on Lake Como — to enact anti-paparazzi laws, according to The Huffington Post. He secured two protection orders forbidding the paps from getting close to his house, or approaching his mansion by water. The edicts expired Sept. 30.

But Clooney made a spectacle of himself, getting into a sissy fight and storming out of at a boozy April dinner in Las Vegas with hotel magnate Steve Wynn, 72. The men argued over Clooney's pal, President Obama. The actor has met with the president in the White House, bending his ear over the humanitarian crisis in Sudan.

Wynn "called the president an a- -hole . . . this is a fact," Clooney told the Las Vegas Review Journal newspaper in an e-mail message sent by his publicist. "I said the president was my longtime friend and then he said 'your friend is an a- -hole' . . . At that point, I told Steve that HE was an a- -hole and I wasn't going to sit at his table while he was being such a jackass.'' Wynn got in the last word, however, denying on Bloomberg TV that he insulted the president and saying that celebs, including Clooney, "live in a very strange bubble of their own."

"They're mollycoddled, they're highly privileged," he said.

But Clooney reserved his greatest contempt for those of us who harbor doubts about the reality of global warming.

"Well, it's just a stupid argument," Clooney told reporters last year. "The idea that we ignore that we are in some way involved in climate change is ridiculous."

And some people are pushing him to run for president of the United States in 2016!

With his good hair and deadpan line delivery, George Clooney is guilty of the No. 1 sin of the soon-to-be has-been: He's started to believe his own hype.

Stick a fork in him. He's done.

No happily ever Astor

"The fact I first heard the sad news of my father's death from the press speaks volumes about the devastating effect elder abuse can have on families,'' Philip Marshall wrote on Facebook.

He is one of the twin sons fathered by Anthony Marshall, who was convicted of robbing millions and helping himself to jewelry and artwork from the $185 million estate of his own mother, philanthropist Brooke Astor.

She lived in New York City and died in 2007 at age 105. Anthony Marshall joined his mom in death Sunday at the age of 90.

But the death notice printed in The New York Times and penned by his wife Charlene, 69 — nicknamed "Miss Piggy'' by one of Astor's nurses — made no mention of the mother, the crime or the biological kids and grandkids Marshall produced, but crowed about his love for his wife's progeny.

Marshall served a bit more than two months of a one- to three-year prison sentence for stealing from his mother, before Parkinson's disease and a heart condition cut short his stint behind bars.

This blue-blooded family drama is tragic.

Pols must be neigh-sayers

Mayor de Blasio aims to shaft hundreds of working men and women while repaying wealthy animal-rights nuts and a real-estate tycoon who pumped money into his mayoral campaign. He's introducing legislation to the City Council that would end the carriage-horse industry in 2016. Hansom cabdrivers claim he's paving the way for the development of property now occupied by horse stables on Manhattan's West Side.

But a large number of councilmen and women remain undecided on the awful plot. Stand up for working stiffs, lawmakers — and reject the plan to give drivers of horse-drawn carriages medallions to operate "green taxis'' that serve mainly the outer boroughs.

Keep the carriage industry alive!

Rice's wife hurting other women

Ray Rice's chief enabler, his delusional wife, Janay, is hurting the plight of battered women. Janay, 26, who was beaten into unconsciousness by her football-playing then-fiancĂ© Rice, 27 — an atrocity caught on videotape — said her man made a "mistake,'' in an interview with "Today'' show host Matt Lauer.

Matching stripes and plaids is a mistake. Beating a woman insensible is inexcusable.

In his interview, Rice echoed his woman's claim that he never hit her before or after that one mistake. Now he's shopping for a new team after being reinstated to the NFL by an arbitrator following a suspension. The Baltimore Ravens sensibly cut him.

He disgraces himself, the game and, most of all, his wife.
