Clooney Takes Issue With Authorship of HuffPo Post

Update: Jane of Firedoglake and John Amato of Crooks and Liars were there and heard the exchange. They back Arianna.

Last week we and many other bloggers quoted George Clooney's blog post at HuffPo. Clooney now says he didn't write it, although he acknowledges the statements in it attributed to him are accurate. Arianna responds and disagrees, but allows there is room for a misunderstanding.

The important aspect, if there is one, is that Clooney stands by the statements in the post. What he says is that is we should take pride in being liberals. That's the part we should focus on, not whether he intended it to be a quote as opposed to a blog post.

In other celebrity news, I can't resist: Michael Douglas criticizes Brad Pitt:

"I don't know about Brad Pitt, leaving that beautiful wife to go hold orphans for Angelina," Douglas snipes in GQ's April issue, hitting newsstands March 21.

And one more: Memeorandum, the outstanding political news and blog aggregator, has launced a sister site on celebrity gossip: WeSmirch.
