George Clooney`s Blog

There are some points when entertainment fans take their love of the industry and of specific players in the field a bit too far. Sure, reading gossip columns and entertainment articles is fun and very interesting at times. But being tricked into believing that you have just read something by, let`s say, George Clooney, is not fun at all. This is exactly what one blog writer led fans to believe and now she is dishing out apologies.
Arianna Huffington said she was "sorry" to have made Clooney`s comments seem like an original article by the actor, and not a collection of quotes.

The blog entry included Clooney`s criticism of US Democrats for not opposing the start of the Iraq war. A Clooney spokesman, his publicist Stan Rosenfield stated: "An apology to the readers was appropriate but to my knowledge she has not apologized to George." Ms Huffington said the incident had been a "major lesson learned" for the development of her Huffington Post website. She now realized that she made a big mistake in posting a blog without clearly identifying that the material in it didn`t originate as a blog post, but was pieced together from previous interviews.

The site features blog entries by left-wing commentators and occasional pieces by a handful of celebrities such as actor John Cusack and Seinfeld creator Larry David. Clooney, who won a best supporting actor Oscar this year for Syriana, has been a prominent critic of the Bush government and war in Iraq. His most recent films, which also include Good Night and Good Luck, have tackled political issues.
