Ellen Finally Snags Clooney!
The most wanted man in America, George Clooney, has at long last been apprehended by none other than Ellen DeGeneres!
The comedienne has been gunning to have the "Burn After Reading" star come to her talk show -- and, with help from baseball legends Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench -- hometown heroes of kid Clooney -- she finally got him!
Before Hollywood's most eligible came to the show, DeGeneres even reached out to President-elect Barack Obama for help! "What I'm thinking is to appoint him ambassador to the Ellen show," The future Commander-in-Chief told Ellen.
Clooney's pal Brad Pitt recently teamed up with Ellen to play a prank on George -- and ending up sending a bunch of Chippendale's dancers to the actor's office! The actor told DeGeneres that it's time for pay back. "I called him after I heard," revealed Clooney, laughing, "and I said, 'nothing in your life is safe. He said, 'don't harm the children,'" George added jokingly. "I don't know what's going to happen, but I will harm him."
The father of six expects George's retaliation, telling "Extra's" Jerry Penacoli, "Listen... it's like a pre emptive strike... because you know its coming."
