ROME — Two people were being investigated for alleged fraud after attempting to launch a fashion line with a brand using George Clooney's name, police in Milan said Thursday.

Tax police said they seized garments and watches Wednesday, as well as fake documentation. The ANSA news agency said the line was to be launched in Milan next week.

Police said the probe stemmed from a complaint filed by the actor.

"If someone tries to sell you clothes or watches that are based on me, don't buy them," Clooney, 46, told reporters Wednesday in Rome, where he was promoting his new film, "Leatherheads."

I wonder why so many people waste there time analysing Bush. The man is a cipher in the grasp of corporate America. Mental acuity - no need to belittle it - he has none. We were sold a big bill of goods. It took the S.C. to seat him. We will never learn. How people can take MCain seriously is beyond the pale. He will go down in history as losing a presidential election, not in a landslide, but in an avalanche. Thankfully, many years shall pass before the "Grand Old Party" recovers.

He was just joking with Jon Stewart about this. Jon told him he should start his own clothing line and Clooney joke that he was going to call it Georgio
