Simmer Down

If I see one more "Clooney Watch" I might just poke my eyes out. I mean really? If you do not live in the Cincinnati area or do and have been in a coma I should tell you that he is in town filming a movie. It's what he does for a living these days. Apparently this is a huge event in the heartland and we are doing what we do best with things that are huge. We are making it even huger. That's right I said huger.

I understand that he is a "hometown boy". He actually attend St. Susanna School at some point right down the street from my house. But do we have to behave like one giant 11 year old girl at a Justin Bieber show because George is in town doing his job. Are there minute by minute reports and fan stalking sites dedicated to any other "home town" personality? I've never seen a Sarah Jessica Parker Watch. I'm pretty sure there weren't Nipsy Russell Watches. Carmen Electra might come to town and nobody would know, that's okay though, not sure we want to claim her.

I would like to call for a Chris Watch. I am a home town guy. I would like to have the news report my whereabouts and every move to the Tristate. I think it is important that every living breathing person in the are be subjected to seeing me do my job. What? Not interested?

Look Chris is standing in a school waiting on a parent to show up for an interview. Now he's walking into a room to interview and child. Chris was seen driving through KFC. It is said that he ordered a BBQ Chicken Sandwich. That's so Chris. We're not sure how long Chris will be at Monroe Middle School but you will be the first to know when he leaves. Chris was seen at Panera Bread the other night apparently braving the world of mortals to have a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup. The woman with him is apparently his wife but he likes to keep his personal life personal. Local fan, Karen took this photo of Chris waiting at a red light.

Just insert the name Clooney into those and you will see what we are being fed by the local media in the Queen City these days. I've always kind of liked George. His movies have been decent for the most part, some were excellent. He appears to be as down to earth as those Hollywood types can possible be. But I'm starting to hate him now. Sorry George. It's not really your fault though. Come on Cincinnati be proud of him. Encourage him. Go see his movies. Buy his memorabilia for your in home shrine to Cincinnati fame. But act like you've been there before.
