I’ve nurtured an irrational hatred for Amal Clooney since I first heard of her engagement to George. The portrait of Amal in the current issue of Vogue magazine is a cornucopia of enraging new tidbits. I love how she invites a traumatized Syrian refugee to visit her English palace on the day of her interview with the fawning Vogue journalist.
I love how a nanny produces the Clooney infant twins for Amal to coo at, in between outfit changes.
I love how Amal had to put in a veritable forest of trees to obscure the view of her palace from the riffraff. I love how unapologetic she is about her consumption of couture fashion. And I super love how she manages to look awful no matter how much money she spends. If she would only eat!
But reading about her noble support of refugees, my thoughts turned to George, who just sold his Tequila company and reaped over $200 million for his share in it. We all know what a humanitarian George is, so I googled his name along with the word “refugees.”Lo and behold, George Clooney started The Clooney Foundation For Justice with his wife…
to advance justice for marginalized and vulnerable communities targeted by hate; justice for displaced children deprived of opportunities to learn; justice for refugees seeking to rebuild their lives abroad.
George is not just talk, no sir. In fact, he has been subsidizing a Yazidi Iraqi immigrant who’s been living in George’s Kentucky house while going to college! The guy’s name is Hazim. He seems really nice. If you google George Clooney, you will see that ten thousand news organizations have run the touching story of Clooney’s big heart in helping Hazim to succeed in America.
Why Kentucky instead of one of Clooney’s other properties? Because the Clooney’s don’t live there. And George’s parents are nearby in case Hazim needs anything! How nice for George’s parents to have access to their own immigrant, as it were.
On the foundation’s website, under the Refugee Resettlement Project, we learn about Hazim, followed with this:
To support our program and/or to refer participants to it, please send relevant details to us at info@cfj.org.
So, send some money or help them resettle refugees ONE AT A TIME, according to merit.
George cares deeply about the state of the world, so he gets $40 million for being the celebrity face of Nescafe. Nescafe, of course, is a subsidiary of Nestle, one of the world’s most egregious corporations in terms of child slave labor, privatizing water, international health threats, etc.
If George wasn’t so busy positioning himself for President (or Ambassador?), he could do his homework. He could be mad at Amal’s Lebanese family for their antisemitism and arms dealing.
Why can’t he just settle down with a nice guy he genuinely loves, like his pal, ahem, Randee Gerber, instead of this silly charade with Amal?
Wait, I strayed too far from Amal. Last week, she infuriated Tom Ford and Anna Wintour by electing to wear a crazy outfit by It-Boy Richard Quinn on the Met Gala red carpet, instead of the gown Ford made for her. The last minute change of dress was taken as a huge insult to Ford, who asked that she return the dress to be used for another red carpet event. But no. Amal changed into the Ford dress during the gala! Having got the attention with Quinn’s goofy costume, she could now relax.
I think George Clooney has made a deal with the devil who won’t wear Tom Ford. This bitch will run through his money in five years if he doesn’t up his corporate shill game. And if you think the Clooneys are a real love match, I don’t know, take it up with his exes, who describe him as “more like a father.”
If you’re going, “But remember George’s tireless support for South Sudan!” read this.
Cunt.
Thoughts, complaints, counter-arguments?
I liked the dress but not the blue pants underneath.
I can’t stand that woman & now I can’t stand George Clooney.
Oh dear, darling Sister Wolf, I have long nurtured an affection for you but this post has made me love you! With your superior knowledge – I don’t ‘do slebs’! – and your immaculate taste and discernment you have well and truly hit two nails smack on their swollen, silly heads and said everything that I vaguely felt but was unable to compose. I love it and I love you and I want you to leave that warm, enveloping Californian sunshine and move ‘over here’ to, er, well, south ‘Zummerzet’, actually. Yes, it’s a bit damp – oh alright then, mouldy – but once you master the language – they do speak funny down ‘ere’ – think Appalachian! – and so long as you have plenty of raincoats, you will love it.
In the meantime, can you please work your way down the Hollywood ‘A’ list!
Are you sure that maybe you’re not just envious? It can manifest as anger, obsession and even hatred directed at the person of whom your envious. Perhaps you had a crush on George Clooney as a girl?
Regardless, I think Amal is quite lovely. She’s stunning, she’s a very talented attorney and she does such important work. I was pleasantly surprised to see George marry a woman of great substance this time around!
Hate to say it, I like Amal. I love her couture, her mane, her other worldliness. Such a nice departure from the horrid, unbelievable world I see in politics, the environment, laws, vulgarity and coarseness. Why not.
Tom – well, google Richard Quinn and you will see some mind boggling fashion.
Scoutito – YAY!!!!!
David Duff – Okay good. I will be in England before you know it. This is actually a plan.
Colby – Oh please. Are you sure you’re not an unattractive manly woman who looks like an emaciated horse? And why can’t you spell “you’re?”
Dj – I don’t know what to say. She is the essence of vulgarity!
Yikes!
Dj – All the ostentatious money spending, the designer fashion hoarding, don’t you find this vulgar?? The new Duchess of Whatever has never flaunted her privilege like this!
She’s got plenty of money of her own, George isn’t going to run out. I look at her through fantasy lenses…I like looking at fabulous clothes! Couture hoarding is not new..I know of a women who has several climate control apartments in Paris stuffed with her couture collection. Is it vulgar? I don’t know. There are far more vulgar things I can think of, Amal is a lightweight.
Oh God. You are so right – she is insufferable!!!!!!!! I could never express as well you you have why she is so infuriating but she is. They both are. It’s not jealousy- it’s the hypocrisy and vain glory. The holier than thou postering. A million thanks for this post.
Emma – No, thank you for feeling my pain!
If you look at the videos of them trying to pose in front of photographers, their faces (when they can’t control their facial expressions) tell all. It’s a bit of a revolting sight. She stated how she hates public life but then attends any dog procession that features press. And she obviously craves it. I am quite positive they are both covert narcissists. God knows how long it will be until they start hating each other. I guess once they get bored or one of them (most likely George as he already looks exhausted trying to keep up with her) gets sick of their charade.
