George Clooney took time out from the red carpet to meet fans who couldn’t get into the show.

The Up In The Air star got out of his limo outside Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre but avoided going straight into the Oscar ceremony.

Instead, the star spent more than 30 minutes walking along the street and pushing his fingers through an 2.5m-high chain-link fence.

He signed autographs for a few lucky fans who managed to get their pens over to the star as others went wild at the sight of him.

With celebrity ambassadors such as George Clooney, Americans are the best-looking people in the world, according to a survey of more than 5000 globe-trotting Brits.

Brazil hopped into second place in the poll, while Spain – homeland to Penelope Cruz – ranked third and Australia, launchpad of Hugh Jackman, Miranda Kerr and Russell Crowe, was fourth.

”America has got a lot on offer and boasts some of the sexiest people on the planet,” said a spokeswoman for Onepoll.com. “The likes of Jessica Alba, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt all help America’s image as a hotbed of good-looking people. But with a population of more than 300 million, they do have an unfair advantage.

”England’s talent only got them into seventh place and despite Gerard Butler waving the flag for Scotland, they only just beat the Germans. But in fairness, when you think of good-looking countries, Sweden, Italy, France and Brazil talent all spring to mind before us lazy, pale Brits. If you’re looking for some fun in the sun, you now know where to head on holiday.”

Hollywood star George Clooney has been spotted buying lottery tickets – in an attempt to win money for Haiti.

According to reports, the actor and his girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis were spotted in an official Italian SuperEnalotto game shop this week.

They were reportedly seen buying dozens and dozens of tickets in the £117 million jackpot.

UK Star magazine claimed Clooney, who has a home in Lake Como, told pals: “The jackpot is so high, so why not try?”

The heartthrob, who recently fronted a telethon in the US that raised more than $50 million, apparently wants to spend the millions helping the earthquake victims in Haiti.

At the telethon event, he said: “This is a tragedy that reaches across all borders, all boundaries. It demands our attention, our help and our compassion. The Haitian people need help. They need to know that they are not alone. They need to see that we still care.”

Movie superstar Brad Pitt was noticeably absent as his film Inglourious Basterds won at the SAG Awards amid reports he is splitting up with Angelina Jolie.

The Hollywood hunk missed out on the celebrations as his co-stars in the hit war film picked up the award for Outstanding Cast of a Motion Picture on Saturday night.

It came as a UK tabloid reported Pitt and Jolie have seen divorce lawyers and signed a £205 million split deal.

The world’s most famous couple are said to have secretly signed legal papers agreeing to divide their huge fortune and share their six children.

Pitt was in LA for the Hope For Haiti Now telethon on Friday night – but there was no sign of him at the SAG Awards, which he has attended with Jolie in the past.

Director Quentin Tarantino and other cast members including Eli Roth, Diane Kruger and Christoph Waltz were present to receive the award from Pitt’s close pal George Clooney.

No explanation was given for Pitt’s absence in the live televised show.

The UK tabloid reports the Brangelina couple will announce their separation soon to end months of speculation their five-year relationship is on the rocks.

They are said to have started planning a split in December, when they reportedly visited a top LA divorce firm.

New Moon stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are reportedly being asked to take part in George Clooney’s telethon to raise money for Haiti.

The Caribbean country was recently devastated by an earthquake measuring a magnitude of 7, and 50,000 people are thought to have been killed.

Clooney, 48, is hosting a telethon to raise funds for the people and it is claimed he wants New Moon stars Pattinson, 23, Stewart, 19, and Taylor Lautner, 17, to get involved.

It is not known if the actors are available to take part, but a source said: “She’d jump at the chance to do something to help.”

Johnny Depp is the Sexiest Man Alive.

The Pirates of The Caribbean star landed the annual title from People magazine – for the second time in his life.

Johnny, 46, nudged out previous winner Hugh Jackman to the award. He also won in 2003.

Kate Coyne, senior editor at People, said that Depp has achieved an almost “iconic status in terms of sexiness”.

She told a US TV show: “Johnny Depp is someone who was sexy 10 years ago. He’ll be sexy 10 years from now. He’s someone who appeals to multiple generations of women.”

Depp joins other double-winners Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Richard Gere.

Hollywood star George Clooney has spoken about new girlfriend Elisabetta and said if life’s a journey he has a “very nice co-pilot”.

George, 48, is dating Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis, 30, and they were recently seen in Venice publicly revealing their relationship.

Talking about his life, he said: “If life’s a journey, then right now I’ve got a very nice co-pilot.

“I’m not going to project into the future and say I’ve found a co-pilot for life because I don’t want to jinx things… but I will say that at the moment, I’m having a very nice time being a frequent flyer on Alitalia.”

The star admitted that his past dating history has been chequered: “I’m well aware that there are things that people will see as shortcomings in my life, and I’m unapologetic about them.”

He added: “People keep asking me if I worry about being alone – but listen, I’ve been in some relationships where I’ve felt terribly alone.

“Just because you’re with someone in a couple doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re incredibly happy and complete – sometimes the opposite.

“I’ve broken up with a few people, and had a lot of people break up with me, and sometimes it has been a relatively easy thing, and sometimes it has been the sensible thing because the relationship wasn’t working out.

“I’m just trying to live my life the way I choose to live it here and hope it all works out, but I’m also well aware that certain things you can do which are cute when you do them at 20 become less cute when you’re still doing them at 48.”

Former ER star Parminder Nagra has said it was a “pleasure” to work with actor George Clooney on the show.

Nagra, 33, recently left the programme after playing Dr Neela Rasgotra for five years.

She said: “George Clooney is just a lovely guy.”

Nagra recently added to British magazine Celebs on Sunday: “On set, my co-star Linda Cadellini and I are supposed to be really sombre when he walks in, but we could never hide our grins… The director told us to take down our joy at seeing George by a few notches. It was an absolute pleasure. Finally, I can say I’ve done a scene with George Clooney.”

According to a statement by one of his very good friends, actor Brad Pitt, George Clooney has something of a soft spot for male strippers. When asked on a talk-show how to woo George, Brad replied: “Get a bunch of Chippendales. He’s yours. Three, four – no less than three. Make one a blonde.” The actor is reputed to be one hell of a womanizer and has had relationships with many women in show business including Salma Hayek, Renee Zellweger and Lucy Liu, but he has vowed never to get married following his divorce in 1993. Looks like all of the heartbreaker male stars have a little gayness behind them.

The “Ocean’s Eleven” co-stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney attended the 2008 Venice Film Festival premiere of “Burn After Reading” together in tuxedos.

The directors Ethan and Joel Coen, and the fellow stars Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton were also present on the occasion.
“Burn After Reading” will be screened in theatres on 12th September 2008 and it were only a handful of blessed viewers who got a chance to witness the film before its world wide release.
On the night of 26th August 2008, Brad Pitt and George Clooney also got together for fund raising for their “Not On Our Watch” charity. The charity is aimed at hoisting awareness of global atrocities and providing funds to help these atrocities.
