Club]
“Oh, they don’t drink in the NFL. I was shocked to hear. I couldn’t believe it. I was watching a Bud commercial at the time, I think.†—George Clooney on the NFL’s refusal to allow Leatherheads to use the name of an old pro football team because there was drinking in the movie [AP via Yahoo]
“We are moving offices onto the Fox Studio Lot next week and we had to say goodbye to the offices that were our home for the past 3 years … not really that sad because, well, c’mon, it’s just a frickin’ building.†—Prison Break writer Nick Santora on being picked up for a fourth season [MySpace]
“This is, quite simply, untrue.†—John Mayer, responding to the Post’s claims that he “Googles himself every morning, and has been known to respond to online rumors just to clear the air†[JohnMayer.com]
