To me George looks like a poser in the above photo, I can almost hear Action whispered in the background!! Handsome bugger though he is...

looks like a fake pic

Here're the scans. Please note some quotes from the "sources" on the pics. They aren't in the article.

Thanks sevens, as it is about the engagement I merged the threads together.

I think it's a real picture, if you put those two together. They're natural. Not fake.

Photoshop...it doesn't work in some people. George is one of them, we are used to see him without make up and photoshop. He looks better on the movies promotion photos than these ones....maybe he was nervous about the announcement?

Thanks for the scans

I for one would like to know more about the book she's writing - my guess would be Syria and whether SSP would aid any hope of bringing anyone to justice................

She writes another book? I new she did one. So there is another one to come? Interesting....

Well, according to the US weekly article, they met in October to 'discuss a book she's writing'. Wonder if she set it up..................

Ah ok I thought they referred to the one she did already....LOL Me and reading hehe

George looks like he's been picking at his cuticles (check out the thimb holding hte glass) and biting his nails (same hand holding glass). Usually his manicure is right on

You can tell when she is posed. She is does the look from the corner of her eyes, instead of looking directly at the person who I supposedly speaking. I am starting to find it annoying.

PAN I moved your post here

LOL

In this boulangerie we have traditionally croissants and baguettes. You want apricot pie?
Tarte Abricot à la Boulangerie de COH no. Merci Madame!

And there is a cake song about it,
Tori Amos song
" Baker baker, baking a cake
Make me a day, make me whole again
And I wonder what's in a day
What's in your cake this time"

This was my take on whether the pictures are staged, fake or else. I think they are perfectly normal.   

PAN - Still trying to get used to the fact that we have a thread for "George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin Are Engaged - Confirmed"!

I think I could believe some of this.

And I could definitely believe the choice of venue for the London house........

Well now George moving to the UK is definitely an interesting development.

If it happens then I take back everything I ever thought about George being dependable and predictable.

Guess he's shaking up his life completely for this gal. Hope she doesn't break his heart.

Mm, well, I don't think he'll be giving up any of his other homes and Smokehouse offices are in Studio Ciity -

I think they'll just be a plane-hopping a bit more!

And now I'm wondering who the mutual friend is - and 'm thinling Mariella Frostrup

...and I can't spell tonight!.......

George Clooney wooed fiancee with email message: 'The world's hottest man should meet the hottest human rights lawyer'
May 11, 2014 22:00 By Halina Watts
The Hollywood hunk, 53, met Brit Amal through a mutual friend but she refused his number - so he took a different tack
George Clooney wooed his lawyer fiancee Amal Alamuddin with a string of flirty emails.

The Hollywood hunk, 53, met Brit Amal through a mutual friend at a charity ­fundraising event last September.

When she refused to take his number, he emailed her: “I think the reported hottest man in the world should meet with the hottest human rights lawyer in the world.”

Since then the couple have enjoyed a whirlwind romance with heart-throb Clooney proposing last month.

And we can reveal the actor is house hunting in Richmond, South West London, for a UK base closer to Amal, 36.

A friend of the couple said: “At first Amal was playing very hard to get and would not take his phone number, which simply made George even more intrigued.

“In the end he managed to get her email address and began sending her a series of flirty messages. He was very up front and joked about the fact they were both ­considered the hottest people in their respected ­professions.

“It was all very tongue in cheek but it got the ball rolling. Amal found it funny, but she still made him wait a few days before replying.


“It was George’s forward banter which ultimately got them talking.

“Once she replied that was it – it’s been non-stop ever since.”

Human rights lawyer Amal works at London’s Doughty Street Chambers. She has represented Wikileaks founder Julian Assange in court and is an adviser to former UN secretary general Kofi Annan.

She was voted the hottest barrister in London last year by the blog Your Barrister Boyfriend.

And Clooney is regularly voted the world’s sexiest male.

He previously pledged never to marry again after splitting from first wife Talia Balsam in 1993 and described himself as a “lousy husband”.

Since then he has dated and parted from a string of beautiful women – including Capital FM DJ Lisa Snowdon, actress and wrestler Stacy Keibler and Italian model Elisabetta Canalis.

But friends claim it was only after meeting Amal that Clooney felt he was finally ready to settle down.

The couple, pictured on a romantic dinner date in Mexico just a few days ago, are said to be planning an autumn wedding which will reportedly take place at his Lake Como home in Italy.

The actor is said to be looking for a “posh townhouse” near Richmond’s royal park.

The source added: “George has only known Amal for a few months but with the wedding date set he is now looking for a UK base.

“He wants a place in Richmond because he loves the park and thinks it will be a great place to set up home with Amal.

“She works mainly in London so he will be moving to the UK on a more permanent basis.

"Everyone is surprised at how fast the relationship is moving, but it’s great to see how happy they make each other.”

Has anyone read this blog?

Yes, they comment a lot on Amal. I think it was this blog that awarded her the hottest barrister thing last year, wasn't it?

I think so but they were not kind to George at all, I think.

Hilarious isn't it? Love it, Jo

Alamooney exactly what he'll be paying if this doesn't work out!

Guess not to many folks are banking on this one going the distance.

It's OK Lorna.....just British humour.

Good luck with your Lotto ticket btw   

GEOMAL!!

Mazy, if all the reports are correct, Our Hero checked out the BarristerHotties website himself, and I don't think he'd be upset by it, or take it too seriously. It's just a bit of light relief from the lawyers in an otherwise serious and very professional working environment.

Another relatively new one is LegalCheek.com....who were ticked off online by a senior figure for breaking the news about George and Amal at the White House, and were advised to leave them in peace if it was true...........

Lord, I hate to sound like I just fell off the turnip truck... but did People Magazine have to pay George for the exclusive engagement photos and story or where they part of the story themselves?

They pay for the exclusive.

That should pay for the wedding!!! And putting their first 6 kids through college.

Or the Satellite

yep the money would go on the satellite not in his pocket

You know it especially now that they are expanding their scope of activities. God Love him, this is why I think it might be a charitable wedding. Unless not because of AA. Gawd I hate to discuss this part. xxx

Just looked through this thread. All I see is staged photos - why?

All AA threads same - staged photos. It's like watching a George Clooney movie, that doesn't move.

George does get papped look at today. However, never together???
You can't have it both ways, yes she was papped all last week, photos were supposedly, not staged but papped.
Then " oooo they are way too clever to be papped together". Come on!
(They will be now, unless PR's asleep)

Indeed George, ..., give it your all !   

Walking down the street and it's a stage photo. Oh my! LMAO here.

Okay whatever. brahahahaha

(Is there a secret to learning how to move quotes, or am I really that technologically challenged)

PigPen...I hope my explanation will help you.

In order to move "quotes" to another thread you have to do the following:

Klick on "quote" above the post. The second to the right, it looks like that

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

when you click on it another window opens and it should look like this 

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

you need to copy the whole text inlcuding the brackets before and after the word quote. Then you go to the thread where you want to post it and just paste it and if you do it looks like a normal quote.   

In case, if you click on "quote" and the post you want to copy looks like that when the new window opens like a real quote

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

you can not just copy it and move it to another thread. In this case you need to click on the icon far right "switch editor mode" which looks like that

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

When you click on it that it looks like that again

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

and then you can copy it and move the quote to another thread.

I hope that helped. Try it out.  

You are so brilliant at tutorials Nicky !  

Gold  Star  time.... 

  thank you
