George Clooney: Prove Me a Liar, Win $1 Million!
Responding to rumblings that he is responsible for a viral video of director David O. Russell profanely berating
Lily Tomlin on the set of
I Heart Huckabees,
George Clooney - who famously clashed with Russell on
Three Kings - has denied any culpability, and is willing to put his money where his mouth is. "Neither the sound man... nor yours truly [leaked] the
David O. Russell tape," Clooney says in a statement. "I saw it when we were working on
Ocean's 12 [back in 2004], 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." And just like that,
I Heart Huckabees becomes interesting.
