George Clooney auctions dinner in NYC

George Clooney is set to auction a unique experience titled “A Good Evening with George Clooney,” offering one lucky bidder a chance to enjoy an intimate night out in New York City with the acclaimed actor. The event aims to raise funds for the charity Waging Justice for Women, and the winner will also be allowed to bring a guest to a private cocktail reception before joining Clooney and two dozen others for dinner. In a recent interview, Clooney expressed his irritation towards director Quentin Tarantino, who made comments questioning Clooney's status as a movie star. Tarantino had suggested that Clooney had not starred in a significant film since the millennium, prompting Clooney to defend his career. He emphasized that a good film cannot be made from a bad script, highlighting the importance of quality storytelling in cinema. Clooney's remarks appear to be a response to Tarantino's comments made during a conversation with Deadline last July, where the director challenged the relevance of Clooney's recent work. Despite the tension, Clooney acknowledged Tarantino's talent, stating that while he found Tarantino's acting in a recent film to be satisfactory, he recognized the director's overall skill. Clooney, an Oscar-winning actor, has received multiple nominations throughout his career, including for his roles in “Michael Clayton,” “Up in the Air,” and “The Descendants.” The auction event not only showcases his star power but also supports a meaningful cause.
