George Clooney tricked paparazzi after Brangelina wedding rumor by renting tables for lawn

Then Clooney told the story about how he fooled the paparazzi after it was rumored that Brad and Angelina were getting married at his Lake Como estate.

“Two years ago there was a story that he was going to get married at my house. In Italy. In February you would never go to Lake Como in February, it’s kind of rainy. You certainly wouldn’t have an outdoor…

But once the story started all these people started showing up, and I mean hundreds and hundreds of press people outside the house, including people from the entertainment shows.

So I called and ordered high top tables and had ‘em all put out on the front lawn. Helicopters were flying - it went on for two weeks.”

That’s hysterical! Clooney’s much better at fooling the press than some other celebrity whose reality tv show is about to be canceled.

Clooney admitted in March, 2006 that he wanted to rent tables, saying back then “I wanted to rent a bunch of tables and put them outside and get a bunch of kids or something dressed up in tuxes and watch all the cameras come by.” So did he actually do it? He says now that he did and I remember seeing tables on the lawn.
