Clooney Suggests Flooding Gawker Stalker With Fake Celeb Sightings
Page Six reports George Clooney has an idea that will make Gawker Stalker less effective at providing recent celebrity sightings. His idea is simply to flood the site with fake celebrity sightings.
"There is a simple way to render these guys useless," Clooney advised in an e-mail his publicist sent out to various other show-business publicists. "Flood their Web site with bogus sightings. Get your clients to get 10 friends to text in fake sightings of any number of stars. A couple hundred conflicting sightings and this Web site is worthless. No need to try to create new laws to restrict free speech. Just make them useless. That's the fun of it. And then sit back and enjoy the ride. Thanks, George."
Gawker said they were so excited that Clooney had come up with the idea. Other sites like Pop Sugar agreed that it would be great if Clooney noticed them no matter what the reason was. Young Manhattanite provided a list of fake celebrity sightings they had submitted to Gawker Stalker. FakeHandbags tells George Clooney to relax. Still more discussion of Clooney's idea to overwhelm Gawker Stalker with made-up celebrity sightings can be found on Pop Candy, The Flack and We Love Celebs.
