It’s anyone’s dream dinner party!
RadarOnline.com can exclusively report that George Clooney has been hosting male-only dinner parties at his Los Angeles mansion with only the most prestigious guests.
“It’s fast becoming the most-sought-after invite in Hollywood to go to one of George’s ‘rat pack’ soirees,” an insider reveals, referring to iconic actor Humphrey Bogart’s ’50s Hollywood crew.
So who are the lucky members of newlywed Clooney’s crew? The source says Matt Damon, Simon Cowell, Rande Gerber, Channing Tatum and Argo producer Grant Heslov are frequent guests.
According to the insider, the 53-year-old actor’s “intellectually-mined” pals drink the finest wines, smoke cigars and play cards until the early hours.
Noticeably absent from the festivities is Clooney’s longtime best friend Brad Pitt.
“George has invited him, but Brad has yet to take him up on the offer,” the source explains. “This has really annoyed George, who wants to build up a powerful network of big movie players.”
