George Clooney Rules Out Children

"Even one kid running around my villa makes me nervous, so I'm definitely not a candidate for father of the year. If I need to surround myself with children and feel like I have this big extended family, I can always call Brad and Angie and ask them to stay with me, just to remind myself why I'm so happy."

---George Clooney confesses to Heat Magazine that he will remain childless.

I think George doesn't have a clue about what it would be like to have his own child around. He would be just like any one else. Watching them grow. Looking for things that they do that remind him of himself at that age, taking note of the fact that they have his eyes or hairline. Probably comparing notes and pictures on David Letterman. Watching his parents dote over them. He does so many good things for others it is a shame that he would deprive himself of one of lifes biggest joys.....

He sounds so self absorbed. Dude, life is not all about yourself! It seems like he's fearful of the idea of bringing more joy into his life. When he's about 60, I'm sure he'll reflect on his life and realize he might've missed a wonderful opportunity for growth. Children change your world in a good way, so maybe he has a problem with "change". Confirmed bachelor, I think not. He obviously has some major issues in his life that he hasn't dealt with. He's gonna miss the boat.

I used to LOVE George!! I still think he's hot, but not so fond of his choice in a friend (Brad). Although, that comment almost sounded like a diss to Brad and Angie. I don't think he and Angie get along. George does seem like he has changed. He is way more into himself since hanging out with Brad and doing Oceans 3007. I liked George better before he got sooo famous.

Let's change the subject: Did anyone hear about Brad and Sean Penn fighting on the set of the movie they are filming in Texas right now??? Wonder who's ego is bigger??? Sean could kick Brad's ass. Now that, I WOULD pay to see!!! How funny is that?

I think Brad Pitt's ego is bigger but Sean will kick Brad's ass. Brad's a pansy!

Well, at least George is honest about not wanting to be a parent. There are so many people out there that have children that shouldn't.

Lieber George! Lass dir ruhig noch Zeit mit der Familiengründung! Vielleicht kommst du ja doch noch auf den Geschmack! Du kannst auf mich zählen! Schöne Zeit in der Zwischenzeit! Deine Babs.

What's wrong with someone not wanting kids? It's better to regret not having kids than regret having them. You could certainly turn the tables and say those that have kids are self absorbed when there are children already out there that need homes. What makes you think you're so special that the world wants to see a mini you walking around?

Catt, you're a moron to the max! what kind of logic is that? is everyone suppose to stop their blood line for the sake of scooping up orphans? why should everyone else put their own dreams aside just to adopt the mistakes that other people have made? the mentally unstable,crackhead,underage chic and poverty stricken people are all allowed to procreate but the rest of us should bend over backwards to eliminate orphans that they have created? you're nuts!!!

Dickhead (Oh, sorry! FYI), if you don't want to adopt other people's "mistakes" and you'd rather give birth to your own "mistake" then feel free to do so. If it wasn't for the mistake that my child's birth parents made, I wouldn't have a son that I love very much in my life right now. I was making a point of a previous post that being child free is not a selfish lifestyle choice and that you could easily make the same argument about people who choose to have kids. Also, keep in mind that there are many orphans whos parents aren't crackheads or mentally unstable. Some children become orphans because their parents have died. Like mine did when I was seven.

Catt: That's right, I should've figured the only person making a bold statement regarding the rights of others to procreate would be coming from someone who didn't! That's very noble of you to adopt a child, but don't act so righteous just b/c you apparently had no other options and wanted to be a parent. Also, you don't have to play the "I lost a parent" card, many of us have - including myself. You take it so personally that someone rebuffed adoption - ONLY because you adopted. It doesn't make you a better person just because you paid for your kid. It's people like yourself that feel the need to be patted on the back for rescuing the orphans of the world. Try being in labor for 21 hours and then pushing for 2 more! That deserves the pat on the back lady!

Oh! Did I forget to mention that I have three children that I gave birth to? Just because I've adopted doesn't mean that I can't have children. With every post you prove my point that people like you make a lot of assumptions on things you know very little about unless someone has to spell it out for you. People make assumptions about the child free. They assume they're selfish. People like you make assumptions about orphaned children and the people who adopt them. And more often than not you assumptive people end up being wrong. I know it makes people feel superior to assume the worst in others, but in the end it really makes you look insecure. So based off of your comments I have to assume that you're an insecure person who ended your last post trying to one up me with your trying labor. I didn't know your life was about competing on who has it the hardest. If so, you'll always have it the hardest, because you'll always be looking for a fight where there isn't one. Just accept the fact that some people don't want kids, some have twelve kids, some adopt. And they do all this without having ulterior motive.

ANYWAY..... HOW ABOUT THE FIGHT BETWEEN SEAN AND BRAD???? I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE TWO OF THEM IN A RING DUKING IT OUT!!! BRAD WOULD GET HIS ASS KICKED!!!! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT!!!

He talks a lot about not wanting to get married or having babies at all. Sounds like biological clock is banging but he has not find the right lady yet. Needless to say current, how should we call her, is definately out of the question.
