George Clooney’s Million Dollar Challenge

George Clooney is rarely upset.  He keeps his cool in a demeanor that would make Ghandi proud.  But something has the actor stirring these days.  So much so that he has offered a ransom to anyone who can prove him wrong.

Clooney personally responded Thursday to rumors circulated by two gossip Web sites. The Oscar winner sent a note to Radaronline.com and Defamer.com. Both sites alleged this week that Clooney was responsible for releasing outtakes from the movie “I (Heart) Huckabees” that show director David O. Russell yelling at actress Lily Tomlin.

Both reports made note that Clooney, who fought with Russell during the filming of “Three Kings”, is currently in cahoots with Ed Tise, who also worked on “Huckabees.”

“Contrary to popular opinion, neither the sound man, Ed Tise, nor yours truly sent in the David O. Russell tape,” Clooney wrote in the note released by his publicist, Stan Rosenfield. “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.”

The gauntlet has been thrown down.  Here’s your chance to grab a million bucks of Clooney’s money.
