GEORGE CLOONEY - CLOONEY'S ARCH-ENEMY HIRES BODYGUARDS

Outspoken American TV pundit BILL O'REILLY has become so fearful of the threats on his life he has hired a team of bodyguards to protect him.

The O'REILLY FACTOR anchorman famously attacked GEORGE CLOONEY and the celebrity "phonies" who joined him for a charity telethon after 9/11, and recently took ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER to task over the movie star-turned-politician's environmental record.

But, as well as upsetting the stars, O'Reilly has become a target of criminals, who are keen to see him dead.

He says, "I have bodyguards. Lots of people want to hurt me and they want to destroy me in any way they can.

"That's the price you pay for having a big mouth."
