I'm really happy about this movie news: George Clooney and director Jason Reitman (
Juno, Thank You For Smoking) may be
teaming up for the film adaptation of the Walter Kirn novel
Up in the Air. Variety has details:
Clooney will play an unapologetic corporate downsizer whose untethered life is consumed by collecting air miles. .

George Clooney got a break from promoting
Burn After Reading at the
Venice Film Festival yesterday to catch up with an
old friend, British TV personality Mariella Frostrup. While he's been perfectly happy
walking the red carpets with Brad, his former lucky lady Sarah Larson is doing her best to show that she's not jealous. Apparently she's
moved on to dating a promoter and was spotted around Las Vegas with her new man last weekend.

The premiere of
Burn After Reading opened the
2008 Venice Film Festival last night, and the stars of the film embarked on a day of promotion along with directors Joel and Ethan Coen. Brad Pitt and George Clooney's rapport was in full swing – they fooled around with their co-stars Tilda Swinton and Frances McDormand in the audience at the premiere, before a surprised Brad Pitt was presented with the Best Actor award he wasn't able to pick up last year for The Assassination Of Jesse James.
The mistress of ceremonies
then gave Brad a yellow flower to pass on to his buddy George.

It's tuxedo time for Brad and George. The boys hit the big red-carpet premiere of
Burn After Reading this evening at the
Venice Film Festival, dressed to the nines and ready to steal the show. Of course, all their co-stars were there as were the Coen brothers, but forgive us, this week it's all about Pitt and Clooney.

The Brad Pitt and George Clooney two man
Venice Film Festival show rolled on, this time swapping their
dark suits for light ones to meet up with co-stars Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand and the Coen brothers at a
Burn After Reading photocall today. The handsome duo
arrived by boat again with smiles, laughs and autographs for fans. During the session, when reporters got a little personal, the close friends kept things light by stepping in for each other and joking around.

No prizes for guessing where I'd like to be right now. George Clooney and Brad Pitt are both in Italy for the start of the
Venice Film Festival, and both were looking as dashing as ever yesterday. Brad was in Dad mode during the day, taking the gorgeous Pax and adorable Maddox out on a boat through the famous canals.

George Clooney and Brad Pitt changed out of their casual boating attire and into some dapper suits for last night's charity gala to benefit their organization, Not On Our Watch, at the
Venice Film Festival. The boys looked handsome as ever and happy to be back with each other to also promote their new movie
Burn After Reading. Brad
arrived with two of his sons, Maddox and Pax, earlier in the day, but it looks like the little guys sat this party out.

The boys arrived at the Venice Film Festival this morning, and we couldn't be happier to see them. Brad Pitt had Maddox and Pax by his side to meet up with perfectly relaxed and handsome looking George Clooney. The duo are slated to
attend a Not on Our Watch Event tonight before tomorrow's big premiere of their movie
Burn After Reading.

After
fending off excited female fans on land, George Clooney
took to the water again with some buddies over the weekend in Italy. Just another relaxing afternoon for the international man of leisure, drinking wine, catching rays, reading the newspaper. Lucky for us, Clooney also showed off those abs — mmm, very nice.
