Hollywood actor George Clooney not able to drink as freely as you did in the past. Clooney has to cut back on his drinking due to the injury he suffer while filming the movie Syriana.

He has not fully recover from the injury from last year and still undergoing regular blood transfusions. Clooney says the following about all this:

They take blood out of my arm and inject it into my spine. It’s a slow, ongoing process, but it’s getting better. You can’t drink when you do it. You have to wait a couple of weeks. That’s cruel, man, that’s not cool for an Irishman.

Such a shame, an Irishman without a drink is just unimaginable.

The hugely popular TV show Friends will not be coming back to a television near you. They were rumors of the six cast members Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry accepting a $5 million payday to do four more episodes in a secret meeting before Christmas.

The fake information also went as far as saying Jennifer was the reason why this reunion took so long to become a reality. They also included a source from an NBC insider:

She’s the one who had been holding out. But she’s now agreed to reprise Rachel (Green). Bringing them back is a dream come true. Ratings will go through the roof.

Give it to Access Hollywood to reveal the truth to all these rumors. CEO of NBC Universal Television Group Jeff Zucker says, “Not one ounce of truth.”

Druggie rocker Pete Doherty has gotten into a brawl with a fan at one of his bands gig. The band Babyshambles were set to perform at London’s Rhythm Factory when a fan threw a bottle of water at Pete and may have also shouted out words at Pete.

Pete than leap from the stage to the crowd where the fan was and started throwing punches at the fan before band mate Drew McConnell and Adam Ficek jumped into the melee. At this point the event security jumped in and pull the band member back on stage and than Pete threw the mic stand onto the fans. After the crowd and the band had calm down, the band came back out to finish their set.

A friend of Pete told 3am:

Pete’s convinced he’s going to be locked up. He’s very agitated all the time now and the least little thing gets to him. It’s not like him to attack a fan so things must be bad.

I wonder if Pete will ever get his shit together before he wind up in prison or dead.
