George Clooney has slammed Paris Hilton for being a “wannabe” actress.
“There is a funny thing that happens when you are a young actor. You equate financial success and getting jobs with whether or not you are good at it,” Clooney says. “And it still happens. That’s why there is Paris Hilton. Now I’m in trouble with Paris Hilton.”
Meanwhile, the actor has been hit with rumors that he is set to be the godfather of Nicole Kidman’s baby as well as pal Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s fifth child. Clooney says he has not been asked to be the godfather of either child.

File this one under ‘weirdest story of the day.’ According to the UK’s Daily Star, Kate Moss is planning a gothic themed wedding to her rocker beau Jamie Hince this coming September.
Apparently the wedding dress will be a full-skirted purple or black gown trimmed with vintage rock ’n’ roll charms. Sounds more like a Marilyn Manson wedding than a supermodels.
The newspaper also claims that Moss has hired controversial artists Dinos and Jake Chapman to create centerpieces for the wedding. Their previous works have included themes of sex, death and disfigurement.
It’s too bad she’s not with Pete Doherty anymore. She could have had a crackhead theme wedding instead.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell is to appear in a film by a French director dubbed “the queen of porn”.
She will play a jilted wife in Bad Love, the latest offering from the controversial film-maker Catherine Breillat.
“I’m not sure if I’ll be able to show as much naked skin as her other actresses, but we’ll see,” Campbell, 37, told Paris Match magazine.
“I don’t know if I’ll make a good actress, but I’ll do my best. I am no stranger to controversy.”
Breillat said of the model: “Her body is sublime, but it’s her face that interests me most. I ask all my actors to bare their souls to me and trust me completely, and she will be no exception.”
Bad Love will be based on Breillat’s own novel and spoken in a mixture of English and Chinese.
Campbell’s co-star will be Christopher Rocancourt, a convicted fraudster who conned the rich and famous out of millions by posing as a member of the Rockefeller dynasty. He has become something of a celebrity in France since his release from prison two years ago
Breillat has provoked outrage over the years with her X-rated films and cheerfully admits: “I am the pariah of French cinema. Some people refuse even to read my scripts. But it also makes me very happy because hatred is invigorating. All true artists are hated. Only conformists are ever adored.”
Her first film, Une Vraie Jeune Fille, was a controversial account of a 14-year-old girl’s sexual awakening. It was released in 1976 but immediately banned by French censors, re-emerging some 23 years later.
The 1999 film Romance, starring hardcore porn star Rocco Siffredi, shocked audiences with its graphic scenes of sex and violence.
This is not the first acting role for Campbell – she appeared in Spike Lee’s Girl 6 and has just filmed a cameo in the hit US television series Ugly Betty, playing “a loony who loves to shop”.
