Despite all you may have heard about George Clooney's dating life, know this: he's more mama's boy than bunga bunga.

The star had a big day in Manhattan on Wednesday, sitting down for a 10 question interview press event with Time Magazine and premiering his new film, "The Ides of March." During the interview, Clooney addressed his unexpected summoning by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's defense team to testify about the politician's alleged purchasing of sex from a 17-year old Moroccan girl.

Clooney reiterated that he had only gone to see Berlusconi to discuss aid to Darfur, as he said when he was initially called last March, but added a few new details to the mix.

"I spoke to their people and said, 'I will come and testify if you'd like,' because I wasn't at the party that I was said to have been at. I wasn't at his 'bunga bunga' party," he said. There was an interesting twist, though.

“He showed me the bed that [Russian Prime Minister Vladimir] Putin had given him and asked me to stay for a party,” Clooney revealed. “I was like, I have to go.”

As for the nightcap, Clooney had two dates to the premiere: his parents. Which is only fitting, since his dad helped inspire the story. As for his mother?

“My mom — I don’t want to say it, but she’s really drunk, so try not to talk to her," he joked to Access Hollywood. "She slurs and stuff comes out of her mouth — it’s really bad."

I spend one week on Lake Cuomo last summer. Looks like paradise. But I don't see Georges "Adam" Clooney around ! Nothing perfect!

Some day George will find him a nice man to settle down with. Until then the illusion continues.
"Not that there's anything wrong with that" but he needs to be honest with himself if he is to be truly happy.

I'm still not sure what this article is about. HP does not practice any sort of journalism, just copy and pasting bits of articles from other sources...some as reputable as Media Takeout and Tee M Zee! That's pretty bad.

Huh, He seems to be a pretty grounded man. Dates some beautiful women and is pretty cheerful about it. I’ve never seen or heard anything from him about how “hard” his life is.
He does seem to be in on the joke and is trying to do some good things for others less fortunate.
So, of course we attack him. Strange people.

George Clooney as Henry Kissenger? Gorgeous George as a US diplomat to Italian 'bunga bunga' relations?

Egads, having a palatial pad at Lake Cuomo and formally dating a hot Italian model positions Mr. Clooney to request foreign aid to countries in need.

Instead he walked into a 'hot bed' of hot gossip. Ooopsy!

It's the HP norm, now. Ever since someone on HP decided that Rupert Murdoch's tabloid strategy is worthy of being copied. Tragic......

ever notice how really handsome men never go for a really knockout beauty? that just says that they are narcissists who couldnt stand being with anyone as or better looking than them perhaps that is why all of his relationships failed..his choices were so..ordinary. I see women on the subway more stunning than his choices
