George Clooney is one gorgeous man! And generous! Which makes him twice as attractive.

Clooney is reportedly taking up his buddy Brad's cause in New Orleans by helping to build homes for Katrina survivors.

Clooney says, "I've bought a couple of those houses already that he's building. You can build a house for $150,000, which is amazing. So I bought two of them and plan on buying more as they're doing an amazing thing there."

He added, "Brad went there, builds houses, he can do a lot of other things with his time. He and Angie really put their money where their mouth is. I'm always very impressed by them."

Brenda Walsh and Kelly Taylor are back!

Check out whats coming in the new 90210 spin-off...

Rumor has it Tori Spelling was squeezed out of the show because of her high paycheck demands. Well, it's only fair - her father did start the show!

Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis is getting sued. Again!

Hotel owner Steve Wynn is suing Francis for $10 million after "Francis stated that he planned on exposing how exactly Mr. Wynn deceives his high end customers with alcohol, prostitutes and illegal drugs to lure big spenders to his casino," reports Hollyscoop.com.

I suppose this is Francis's way of getting even with the hotel mogul after his initial suit of $2 million in unpaid gambling debts.

Looks like poor Joe can't catch a break.
