George Clooney on Being Britney Spears' Neighbor: "I Have to Move"
George Clooney didn't know he lived near Britney Spears until the area was surrounded by helicopters, police and paparazzi during the "custodial dispute (http://www.usmagazine.com/timeline_britneys_trip_to_the_hospital)" on January 3 that resulted in her two-night hospital stay. Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/01/25/george-clooney-i-have-to_n_83229.html) reports on Clooney's recollection of the night:
"I'd gone upstairs, and I came out and I'm in a robe. All of the sudden I see all this s--t going on.
"I have a guest house where my assistant sometimes is, and I think, someone has broken out of prison and like escaped, because it's a chase scene. It's something out of Die Hard.
"I get my baseball bat, which is what you always get in every film – I actually think Clive Owen said, 'Get a baseball bat' – and I called up my assistant, who I thought was in the guest house, and I said, 'Are you OK?'
"And she's like, 'Yes.'
"And I said, 'Look, if there's someone in the place, say the word stonehenge.'
"And she's like, 'What the f--k are you talking about? I'm in my apartment.'
"I go, 'You're not in the guesthouse?'
"'No.'
"So I'm, like, 'Well, then, what the f--k is going on?' And I go out and I'm running around with a baseball bat in my robe.
"And it turns out it's Britney Spears' house is like, 300 yards from mine. So now I have to move."
