George Clooney has rejected the Daily Mail's apology for a false story about his fiancee's mother, describing the paper as "the worst kind of tabloid".

Two days ago, the actor said the newspaper had published a false and irresponsible story about his fiancee, Amal Alamuddin.

Amazing how the Hollywood 1% doesn't like it when the media tells LIES about them...you'd think George would care about the media telling the truth about BIGGER issues....instead of covering them up....

I can’t speak for this woman’s family, but it is true that the Druze forbid marriage outside of their faith, and that in certain cases Druze family members have killed or maimed outsider men who marry their women.

It’s not as if this is beyond the pale for what is believable.

The Left apparently hates the Daily Mail, FWIW.

Frankly I don’t find it the least hard to believe that his future mil said what they claim she said afterall it is standard Druze tradition.

That being said, the DM should stick to stories that are not debatable — like stories about Clooney’s ex-girlfriends and what they and TMZ has to say about him.

That will really get the Druze community and his future mil talking —

So Honor Killing is seen as a cleansing ritual? The rumor is not that hard to believe. Meanwhile Clooney should stop giving them free publicity.

His fiancee, Amal Alamuddin is trying to get a mass murderer out of a Libyan jail. al-Senussi was Gaddafi’s chief enforcer, he was convicted in absentia by a Paris court for responsibility for the bombing of a French airliner that crashed in Niger in 1989.

What a gal!
I found this quote about him being a “Messenger of Peace”

George has just stepped down from his UN ambassadorship as a “Messenger of Peace.” It’s a role he’s had for six years. The UN spokesperson made a statement: “After six years in this role, Mr. Clooney feels it is time to retire his official role as Messenger of Peace. The competing demands on their time from their professional and advocacy lives sometimes make it difficult for high-profile individuals to carry out a formal United Nations role.”

Kinda conflicts with his beard, er fiancee.

Well, of course. The American newsmedia is Big Brother's Propaganda Machine!

Google her. Interesting stuff. She clerked for Sotomoyer, repped Julianne Assaunge, among other things.

Anyone else think George and Barry had stars in their eyes for each other? This Amal chick has ties in all the right places.

She’s some kind of muzlim as well.

I’d bet the dog it’s an arranged marriage of convenience. Watch for the couple to be frequent guests at the WH.

I’ve always had the impression George was gay. But I refuse to watch his movies anymore because he’s an American-hating idiot.

I would post more but gotta fly to work. Read the comments section at sites you normally wouldn’t go to.

Not the "worst kind of tabloid". That is reserved for the American main stream media.

Exhibit A:
