CLOONEY BESIEGED AFTER PITT MARRIAGE RUMOUR

GEORGE CLOONEY was besieged by press at his home in Italy - when a false rumour circulated that it would be the venue for BRAD PITT's wedding to ANGELINA JOLIE.
The Ocean's Eleven actor admits the untrue reports of his friend Pitt's impending nuptials in 2006 led to a media scrum outside his luxurious residence at Lake Como.
Reporters flocked to the town for two weeks - and there was even a fleet of choppers flying overhead on a daily basis.
Clooney says, "Two years ago, there was a story that he (Pitt) was going to get married at my house in Italy in February. You would never go to Lake Como in February. It's kind of rainy. You certainly wouldn't have an outdoor wedding.
"But once the story started, hundreds of press people started filling up the hotels. So I ordered high-top tables and had them put out on the front lawn because helicopters are flying over. It went on for about two weeks."
