George Clooney Rumor Update!

Some days, Robin, you just can't get rid of a bomb... -- Batman

[Apr. 30]

GEORGE CLOONEY BOMB SCARE RUMORS TRUE (SORTA KIND OF...)

The latest rumor that a pile of explosives was found waiting on the steps at the front door of George Clooney's celebrity home at Lake Como -- dropped from an airplane and causing an evacuation of the Hollywood celeb and his girlfriend Eli turned out to be rubbish.

However, believe it or not -- the rumor WWII explosives were found in Lake Como, Italy -- albeit found, as in the water basin itself -- has turned out to be TRUE!

As such, the George Clooney Bomb Scare really can and should make it to the annals of history, where the truth is often stranger than fiction.

However, there was absolutely no terrorist threat, stalker planning to blow up the celebrity real estate, and there has been no plot against the life of George Clooney and some strange news sources from around Europe were speculating.

GEORGE CLOONEY LAUGHS OFF RUMOR BOMB SCARE WAS AN ATTACK ON HIM

We are serious. There has been a bomb scare verified in Lake Como, Italy -- and yes, George Clooney does indeed own a waterfront villa along the lakeshore where the WWII era explosives were found.

E! Online news reports:

Historians, take note! And not just because a genuine World War II artifact has been found—because this will be the last time you see the words George Clooney and bomb together in a headline (unless he tries his hand at another Batman).

The Italian navy was called in to the superstar's Lake Como retreat this week after a veritable arsenal of unexploded WWII-era bombs were found in the water, with hand grenades, aircraft bombs and mortars among the explosives discovered.

Italian authorities sealed off the surrounding town while they worked to locate and defuse the bombs. And while Clooney was not home at the time, his sense of humor definitely was.

"This is not the first bomb I've experienced," he quipped in a statement. Yeah, rubber nipples have a way of turning audiences off, George.

But lesson learned—hopefully it'll be his last!

EDITORIAL NOTE: Personally, we are just glad to hear there were no bigfoot monsters chasing George, space aliens involved, or Yedis involved in the true version of this strange news story. Then we really would have had egg on our faces for thinking there was no real seriousness to this urband legend.
