George Clooney & Fabio Throwdown!

George Clooney & Fabio Throw Downfabio.jpg
It's happened! Something has topped the Kid Rock Waffle House arrest.

Here's the gist of what led up to best comment EVER.

Long-haired "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" face man Fabio and movie star George Clooney were having dinner at the same restaurant. Someone at Fabio's table started snapping pictures (the dinner was with fans for charity, which is funny on its own), when George thought they were trying to photograph him and girlfriend Sarah Larson. George flipped Fabio's guests the bird, which caused Fabio to go over to George's table and, basically, tell him to get over himself.

“The women and I were taking pictures of us together only. The women were not taking pictures of George. Out of courtesy, I even went over to George’s table to explain that to him. I just feel badly that it ruined the night of these women who paid to support charity. I am thinking of something to make it up to them,” Fabio told Access Hollywood.

Sources say Fabio told George that he could teach him some manners, nasty words were exchanged between the two, and then there was some pushing. They had to be physically broken up.

Okay, here it comes. Fabio's manager, the man he pays to say things that will make him look good, told Access, and I quote, "Clooney started on ER and Fabio was going to send him back there."

That may be the most ridiculously funny thing I've ever heard.

And, by the way, I once saw Fabio, in the flesh, promoting something at my local Sam's Club. Swear to God.

LOVE IT!!

From what I've observed, they both seem to be good hearted men and this just seems to be a misunderstanding gone bad.

Maddie said:

Too Funny! George needs to get over himself just a tiny bit; guess he was trying to impress his girlfriend.

Stephanopoulos said:

That would suck to have Fabio tell you to quit being a diva. Of course, Fabio doesn't have his pic taken left and right! Maybe George just wanted a flashbulb free meal.

malors said:

I think that Britney Spears needs that manager, can you imagine the things he could come up with to say about her?

haha said:

I love me my George, but I have to say "Go Fabio!"

Trash Queen said:

I would have loved to have seen that "shoving match" -- hee hee

yeah said:

"out of courtesy"???

maggietalk said:

I am curious as to what the on lookers would have to say about the shoving match.. I'd go for Fabio!!!

sports fan said:

I'm sorry, but if these women were taking pictures of themselves with Fabio, how would George mistake that for them taking pictures of him & his girlfriend?? I don't think that he would! It doesn't sound like they were sitting *that* close to each other if Fabio had to get up & go over to talk to George about it.

But, this is still pretty funny stuff! Albeit not as funny as Fabio getting his nose broken by a bird smacking into his face when he was riding the roller coaster! (but that was sad too!)

cadreamer said:

I've met Fabio a couple of times before and he is a very nice and gracious man. This is funny and I think Clooney needs to get over himself.

Siobhanster said:

Yeah, I gotta say, my vote is with the Fabs. During Fabio's weirdly random visit to the iVillage offices last year, he graciously agreed to be photographed with practically every woman here... and even posed hilariously with a few people... and didn't even make any of us eat that gross margarine... and was just basically a total champ about the whole thing. You wouldn't think it, looking at the hair and the waxed chest, but he's a classy fellow. ;)

KCX said:

Clooney flipped them the bird? Such poor taste. Cloons isn't known for his good manners, but he's getting waaay too old to get off the hook by chalking it up to "bad boy" ways. C'mon, even Sean Penn has chilled at this age.

Rudy said:

You gals are right *** Clooney is an egotist .

Pamby said:

Maybe George was jealous that Fabio was getting all the attention?
He's been really--um, cranky? For a while.... It's just really rocketed since the accident HE caused.

maggietalk said:

Maybe George thought that Fabio was into his girlfriend? just a thought, you know jealousy makes people act silly!!! and Fabio does have the nice hair and sexy muscles!!!

Peach said:

George sucks!

BETTYEJ said:

I have never been a fan of George Clooney, and he comes across as the one that got bent out of shape because it wasn't about about him! Clooney, get over yourself!

whosnext said:

Maybe Fabio didn't want to get his hair messed up. His body isn't what it used to be, but his ego is.

U4EA said:

Couldn't they have just settled things over a nice plate of steaming hot sliced bread and some I Can't Believe It's Not Butter?

TERRI TAMBE said:

IF "NORMAL PEOPLE" DID THESE THINGS THEY WOULD BE IN JAIL OR THROWN OUT...WHY SPECIAL LAWS AND TREATMENT BECAUSE YOU
ARE A "STAR" RULES AND LAWS SHOULD BE THE SAME FOR ALL.

Laurie said:

Hey - just call'em Tommy Lee and Kid Rock - Hilarious!!!! :-)

keepn' it real said:

Such wusses... one push and he would have been laid out flat. Besides, who flips the bird anymore, so lame.

LDS said:

On X17 you can SEE the picture of George flipping them the bird as he is in the background. {Taken by one guest}
Yes it would be a courtesy to go over to that putz to explain to him no one was taking his picture. Maybe he was pissed his wasn't taken?

Rudy said:

Who "flips the bird" any more ???? Ever seen what's driving on the PA turnpike in an 18 wheeler during rush hour ??? Wheweeee

mimi mom said:

I think if they want to rummble i've got some massage oil for em YYYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYY. George gets harassed by the stalker rotzzi a lot and I can see how that misunderstanding got started. I heard a rumor that he and Mr. Fab have disliked each other for a while and I guess we all have our momment. I still love 'em yum, they have to strip for the oil!!!!!!!!!!

wasting time said:

fabio,,,Not,,

The hair is so hippy 60's,

Who would want a man thats going to fight you for the hairdryer,

He thinks he's something that he is definately not,

His image is so yesterday,

I dare say he'd be happy to be photographed with anyone or thing just to feel important,,,

Never liked him them,,still dont like him now,,,,

Now Mr Clooney ,,,he's deliciously sexy ,,masculine in all the right ways,,& hey what sexy man doesnt have an ego,,

Maybe he just wanted a quiet dinner with his woman,,,,

If the freak & his followers were taking photos of themselves supposedly then how was the camera (had to be pointing backwards ) facing the clooney table,

Lack of respect can get you into serious trouble,,

Forget smacking him one,,
Just sit on him & doe us all a favour,,give him a haircut!

My money stays on george,,,

Go back to your cave Not So Fabio!

The Maven said:

LMAO! Funny article of the day.

Karina said:

Aren't these guys in their 50's? Hey fellas! You're *middle-aged!!!* (for all the SATC fans out there!)

Princess said:

Personally, I put my money on George!

cheryl said:

Fabio?dont see what anyone sees in him.Reminds me of the mutts walking down the street in beverly hills cop.

Tracy said:

Fabio is a decent person, and George is just too full of himself. He could've hidden himself instead of flipping a bird, which then got more tv coverage because it showed him acting childish.

blackdragon said:

If they weren't taking the picture of George and his girlfriend, how did they know he flipped them the bird. Just a little food for thought.

cadreamer said:

Fabio really is a nice and genuine man in person. I'm not in love with Fabio but I do know that he is a nice man. He has old world courtesies which you don't see too much anymore. I just think that Clooney is too arrogant.

Darlene S said:

Ah come on,get on the motorcycle and go get some REAL butter !!

Tosha said:

First of all George started on "The Facts of Life" hello. Get it straight before you open up your mouth!!!!!!

Miss_Madame_S said:

Jeez back off George haters.
George had a right to be stingy, I mean I'd hate camera's going off around me when I wanted a nice quiet moment with my honey.
I agree though that it was stupid for him to give the finger.

Fabio may look like some airheaded muscle man but he's actually quite decent and intelligent and I'm impressed with how he handled the situation.

suz said:

Its A case of IMS Irritable Male Syndrom brought on by drop in testestorone get over yrselves and grow old gracefully BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

dr said:

If you haven't seen George in Michele Clayton you have missed a very good movie. George will survive flipping pretty boy the finger. Flipping someone the bird is not a jailing offense. Showing your crotch should be.

How funny! Right away I knew the scene and how SJP sounded when she said that. Good times. Good times.

dpthernandez said:

I;ve heard the George Clooney has a tendency to get into the "sauce" and this is just another example. I read in the newspaper today where he was far from sober in this altercation. Time for him go grow up. He is a very good actor and quite good looking but juvenile behaviour for a man his age is never attractive.

Seraphica said:

Um let's see. George and his way too young girlfriend assume they are so beautiful that if a bulb flashes off in their direction,they are being stalked.
Fabio, well c'mon the man was doing a charity thing and I am sure those women were knee deep in ecstasy to be with Fabio. I like George but Fabio seems like the better choice. Get married George and get over yourself, your chick is not that gorgeous at all. Um, she was on reality tv, not exactly a Queen. Fabio seems like more of the gentleman and George would have probably been smashed flat, Fabio is most likely rock hard and solid. George should have asked before crying wolf...sheez some people cannot even eat dinner without fear of the paparazzi...on the other hand, you chose to be a movie star, so try to deal with it without wanting to hit on gorgeous Fabio...ah George were you hating on Fabio? Dude walk away!

MizD said:

YIKES! this incident strikes me as too much divaishniss - Weird to flip out just cus the flashbulb goes off! Personally, I lost interest in mr. clooney when he became a sugardaddy for missy could be my daughter girliefriend... sad his head is too swollen for his own good and something like a picture taking for someone else could be misinterpreted...sigh... only in holleewoood!

Ms Clooney said:

iyo people I totally and absolutely love and adore him. So BOOOOOOOO all Clooney haters!!!!!!!

holly patrick said:

good for george

I have a good true Fabio story as well. Several years ago we were having brunch with my son and his wife at a Hollywood restaurant named "The Source". Everyone had ordered but my son's wife. At that moment Fabio came in with a beautiful woman on his arm. My daughter-in-law, who was quite an attractive woman herself, took one look at Fabio...blond hair flowing...and turned to the waiter.

Without hesitation and a nod of her head toward Fabio she said, "I'll have one of those."

Now I know to absolutely ignore George Clooney if I ever see him. I am not of fan of George's anyway, but I did meet Fabio once and he was a doll!

guest said:

give me a break if any of those 2 idiots talked crap to me I would have kicked their butt. also who cares if fabio has muscle that don't mean Anything has he probably can't fight. I am a 5 degree black belt and have used my fighting technique in all different types of men either fat, big muscle men, and even kicked butt on gangs using my martial arts with tbese type of people and always breaking something on parts of their body. hahahah I love when they suddenly give up. the most funny part is when some men will act tuff if they have people with them. but if they are alone they will not act tuff ha ha ha for me I would still tell them off if they have people with them has this is saying your posse don't mean crap. so make this short it don't matter if your a big guy or have muscles has who knows george could have some good fighting skills in. his hand. fabio just because you have muscles do not mean anything....

dont pay writer more said:

these actors who suddenly joins writers strike hee hee are so fake giving out food to witers a joke they know they will loose getting paid. all you stars how does it feel now to be umemployed. I hope the writers strike goes on for another year. maybe this will teach our actors how to budget their finance and don't have to show off driving tbere nice cars and living nice house. lol this is great......

pacham said:

I believe Fabo and his guest knew George and Georges his girlfriend were in the background were there and would be in the pictures. This would definately make the pictures more valuable. The right thing to do would have taken the pictures some place else where not to disturb anyone at all and only he would have been in the pictures.
Plus, fighting with George is free publicity for Fabo. Fabo is very smart.
Maybe George should have simply moved, he had the right be at the restaurant also. In all sincerity it was a game that is played by celebrities all the time to keep themselves in the paper.
Fabo may have been wronged as he see it but he should have respected Georges privacy as well as one celebrity to another.
I still like George.
Good luck to both of you guys.

You never get to old to be the bad boy! Have you checked out our President, he says and I quote, "I am the War President". It appears most of us do not remember his speech after 911 on his Bin Ladin Revenge. So let it go, Fabio new what the photographers were doing. He wanted the bite and instead he got the finger from the "Bad Boy".lol

guest said:

Everyone is just so witty. With our country the way it is, and our world on the edge....who the f88k cares about these two guys. Neither one could fight their way out of a paper bag.

ladylove said:

I am crazy about George and I hope he does get married, but not to that "thing" he now calls his girlfriend. Have you noticed since he's known this woman he has wrecked his motorcycle and got into this fight with Fabio over trying to impress not even that good-looking female? I hope he gets rid of "miss thing" before he gets hurt real bad. A man like George Clooney should never have to go out of his way to try and impress someone like that twit. She has had work done since Fear Factor, can't you tell? Falling apart already, why would he want any thing to do with that peice of s#*t!All she can do is push George to the side when a camera is present and hold out for the shot. George may not care for all of the cameras,but Sarah does. Watch when she goes to get into a car and raises her head back out of the car to get into the same shot as George. I'm shocked she hasn't trampled Mr. Sexy over to get in front of the camera. (Give her time.)

tricia said:

way to go fabio! George you're cute and all, but i think it's time you face the facts, the world does not revolve around you. It's not ALL about you anymore. It bothered you that someone else was getting the attention and you wanted to be noticed. Well, you got noticed,but it wasn't very good on your part. Maybe next time, huh?
