George Clooney was spied shootin’ hoops all by himself while on location in Roswell, NM where his new film Men Who Stare At Goats is currently being filmed. As you can tell from the following pics, George didn’t even bother to get out of costume before he made his way to the basketball court — when you gotta play, you gotta play:

In Goats (which sounds totally weird judging by the name alone), Clooney plays a soldier named Lyn Cassady with really bad hair. In these pics, his new porn’stache that was grown specifically for this role doesn’t look as impressive as it did when we first saw it last month . Truth be told, I haven’t heard or seen anything that even remotely has me interested in this film … a porn’stache and sweet b-ball moves ain’t enough to get my ass to the movie theater. What else ya got, Clooney?

Earlier this week we saw a couple pics of a sexy ’stached George Clooney lounging poolside in Puerto Rico where he is preparing for his next role in the film Men Who Stare At Goats. Those pics were so much fun to look at that I had to see if there were any more … and here they are:

Woo … again, I must reiterate my new-found respect for George’s distinguished good-looks. I mean. Yeah. But, while Georgie looks hawt au natural the story changes a bit when he is in costume for his new movie role … er … the hotness kinda gets replaced with creepiness. After the jump, see what I mean …

You may recall that yesterday we saw pics of Jude Law rockin’ a new ’stache as he prepares to take on the role of Watson to Robert Downey, Jr’s Sherlock Holmes in the movie version of Arthur Conan Doyle’s famed character … and today, George Clooney takes the hot’stache look to a whole new level. Here are pics of the newly ’stached Clooney relaxin’ down in Puerto Rico with movie script in lap as he goofed around while sunnin’ himself poolside:

I mean … damn, he looks good. Now, I’ve never been one to lust after George Clooney or anything but I understand that he appeals to a lot of folks out there. In this light, I can see the appeal. It’s not even the ’stache that ups his hotness level for me … I think it’s the overall shirtlessness. This 47-year old man could really give some of those young bucks a run for their money. I’m deffo seeing George Clooney in a whole new light. MMM HMMM.

Brad Pitt (who was spotted in Venice, Italy yesterday with his two oldest sons), George Clooney, Tilda Swinton and the Coen brothers were all on hand for a photocall/premiere event at the Venice Film Festival earlier today to promote their new movie Burn After Reading. Here are a few pics from the event red carpet:

Burn After Reading looks like a pretty good film … I mean, the Coens are pretty amazing filmmakers and the cast is really superb (mainly, I’m most excited about Tilda Swinton and Frances McDormand). It’s been ages since we’ve seen Brad Pitt in any kind of humorous film … I hope it’s as good as it appears from the trailer.

Speaking of Mr. Pitt, he and Mr. Clooney had themselves a little fun with the personal questions that were lobbed at them left and right at a press conference:

Reporters at a Burn After Reading press conference Wednesday in Venice, Italy, didn’t seem to care too much about the new comedy. Instead, they wanted to talk babies and marriage with the film’s stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Is it better to win an Oscar or fall in love with a beautiful woman, one reporter asked Pitt. “Brad, don’t answer that,” Clooney quipped. When a Hong Kong TV channel reporter asked Pitt if his twins look more like him or Angelina Jolie, Clooney stepped in again. “The twins are fine,” he said, according to Reuters. Does Clooney have any plans to settle down and have kids himself, another journalist asked. “I am so surprised to hear that question. That is honestly the first time I’ve been asked that question,” he joked. “I am getting married and having children today. Brad?” Replied Pitt, “And until then I’ll be sharing mine with him. I’ll have two more by next year.” Pitt made his first public post-twin appearance with Clooney Tuesday night at a Not On Our Watch fundraiser at Venice’s Giudecca island.

Yeah, you think Brad is kidding? I wouldn’t blink an eye if the Brangelina brood did, in fact, expand next year. It’s about time the fam got back to adoptin’ orphans, right?
