Writer’s Workshop: An Interview with George Clooney
by Jenners • 02/10/2010 • Writers Workshop • 27 Comments
Time for Writer’s Workshop again!
1.) Write a mock interview with a celeb of your choosing. Take advantage of having the power to make it go however you dream. (inspired by Jessi from Shuggilippo)
So here we go with my exclusive interview with George Clooney.
George: Right back at ya, Jenners! I read your blogs EVERY DAY—all my friends do. We don’t comment because we like to keep a low profile, but Brad [Pitt] and I were just talking the other day about how freaking hilarious your Girl Scout badge post was!
Jenners: Wow! I’m amazed.
George: Oh you’re all the rage in Hollywood. I know Judd Apatow has been madly trying to get in touch with you to work on a screenplay. In fact, he asked me to give you his number. And while I’m at it, would you sign this glossy 8×10 of your profile picture that I printed out?
Jenners: Why certainly….if you’ll sign my DVD of Ocean’s 11!
(Both chuckle and sign the respective items.)
Jenners: So, George, tell me: you get better looking every year. What is your secret?
George: Proactiv … and lots of exercise.
Jenners: Proactiv? Really … that stuff that Jessica Simpson hawks and I see at the mall kiosks?
George: Yes … the very same. The stuff is amazing! I can hook you up with a year’s supply if you’d like to try it.
Jenners: I’d love that, but my contract forbids me from accepting free gifts from my interviewees.
George: I’m sorry to hear that. Who else have you interviewed?
Jenners: Well, there was that interview with Mr. Grossman of Mr. Grossman’s Ice Cream Emporium, but you’re my first bona fide celebrity interview …
George (interrupting): Jenners…I can’t keep it from you any longer. I’m madly, passionately in love with you. Seeing you in person, you’re about a million times more beautiful than I ever imagined. And your mind? I was already in love with it from reading your blog. You’re so witty and amazing and such a pure soul. I’ve never committed to another woman because I’ve always been waiting for you. Is there any way I could convince you to escape with me to my place in Lake Como?
Jenners (standing up and gathering things): Let’s go … I’m outta here!
Me and GeorgeI totally need to work on my red carpet look.
(And yes … I know I have a Face in Hole problem. I’m working on it.)
Note: I wrote this little “comedy gem” off the top of my head. It came out really strange, don’t you think? I mean what is up with Proactiv?? Sometimes I don’t get myself. Of course, you knew where it was going once you saw the prompt and saw who I picked to interview, didn’t you? Yeah … I’m nothing if not predictable. Do you think George Clooney will ever somehow see this post? Probably not … but a girl can dream, right?
OMG — if I am ever down in the dumps I know exactly where to go to my frown upside down. You are SO hysterical!! — and I thank you.
This is a very fun post. I love it and I wish I saw this prompt sooner, I would have interviewed Johnny Depp : ) Always fun visiting your site Jenners.
OKay… I don't know how I missed this post, but that was the funniest thing EVER!!!
LOVE IT.
Working the red carpet, girl!!!
You crack me up!!!
So talented you are
Loved every word!! Very funny!!

lovin your interview; feeling your snow pain. 20 inches on top of the 28 we got over the weekend. I'm only 62 inches tall
Great interview! I'm sorry it had to end so abruptly….. will you tell us what happened next?
You know George and Brad have late night discussions about fabulous you
Do you think Angie put up a dart board with your beautiful mug on it? Make those starlets crazy, Jenners! Great interview!!
I agree – definitely strange.
I sense a case of ProActiv envy here.
Maybe Mr. Clooney is like Mr. Hamilton of an earlier generation – mummified from over-exposure to sun so that no further aging is possible. {*grin*} After all, there is a reason they both have the first name George, isn't there?
You did such a great job! This was just great. I laughed my head off.
And I empathize with the weather as ours is like yours… I don't think we will have off school tomorrow though. All the roads are perfectly drivable : )
Oh dear!! That is one scary photo of you. Hilarious, but frightening! George… he is lovely. It would be great to have one of those life-size cut-outs of him. I'd prop him in the kitchen, so I could see him first thing when I came downstairs.
Nice interview – and a girl can always hope, right?!?
He's a lot like Sean Connery – continues to get better with age – how do they do it?!?
that color looks beautiful on you.
This is absolutely hilarious! I laughed for a good couple minutes and then had to read it to my husband, who laughed and laughed.

Lol! This is awesome. And lucky girl running away with George.
See you look MUCH happier with George than what's-her-face. Loved the interview.
My gosh your red carpet appearance is spectacular. Your big smile says it all! Loved the Proactiv turn too!
LOVE George and love your red carpet look! Hilarious!
*visiting from mama kat*
Oooh – I'm swooning.. not over the Proactiv but Clooney. He's too gorgeous!
Lots of snow and ice here too… but we don't have snow days in Sweden.
Still, just think of all that extra quality time with the Little One…
You and George look great together!! And I talked to him right after this interview and all he kept saying was "Jenners, Jenners, Jenners" now I know why!!
I'm not a George Clooney fan but I wouldn't have missed that interview if you paid me
Sorry about the lack of kid breaks! We don't even have bad weather here but I just had my last alone hours this morning. I volunteer tomorrow morning, Valentine's party in the class on Friday and then they give us 1 week off in February instead of random weekends. So the next morning to myself will be February 22. I'm going to start morning drinking and buy some earplugs. I also have a non-stop talker.
George loves me! I will fight you for him!
..I mean shopping…lololo
Love it..!! love the photo-chopping.. you are talented..girl..!
I'm going to assume that Mr. Jenners is okay with your little affair with George….
I totally believe that George and all his friends read your every word. You are just that awesome.
And good luck with all the snow.
Your "face in hole" pics always terrify me, and then I laugh out loud! Thanks for the chuckle!
This is a prompt I might have to use…I could interview Jessica Simpson, who I loathe! That might be an interesting twist!
Bwahahaha!
