Defamer Publicist Denial Corner: Clooney Not Involved In Huckabees Video Leak, Says Clooney
Because we at Defamer realize that it's important that individuals disenfranchised by the mainstream media be given a forum in which to make their voices heard, we're happy to publish this missive sent to us by publicist-to-the-stars Stan Rosenfield on behalf of e-mailing-eschewing client George Clooney, who is eager to deny the rumors that he had something to do with the leaking of those I Heart Huckabees outtakes that have so delighted everyone in Hollywood over the past week or so. Forwards Rosenfield/writes Clooney:

In response to a story carried by your respective web sites, George Clooney has written the following to you:
———————-Contrary to popular opinion. neither the sound man, Ed Tise, nor yours truly sent in the David O. Russell tape.
I saw it when we were working on "Ocean's 12," and there have been quite a few copies traveling around town for the last couple of years.
Any rumor that either of us put it on the internet is simply false.
And I'd offer a million bucks to anyone who would prove otherwise.
Your fan,
George Clooney
Backing up his claim with a generous financial offer for information linking him to the video's internet debut is a nice touch, though we're a little disappointed he didn't extend the idea a little further. CLOONEY PLACES MILLION DOLLAR BOUNTY ON HEAD OF REAL RUSSELL VIDEO LEAK would make for a much more compelling story than the simple, anticlimactic denial he and his trusty flack are offering.
