George Clooney to Receive Humanitarian Award at Emmys

George Clooney already has an Oscar under his handsome belt. But we have a feeling the Emmy Award he’s been assured of will mean more. Earlier today, The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced it will present the charitable actor with its Bob Hope Humanitarian Award at this year’s ceremony on August 29. Citing Clooney’s efforts as the head of Hope for Haiti , as well as his fundraising for victims of Hurricane Katrina and his involvement with Darfur, John Shaffner – chairman and chief executive of the TV academy –

Michael Steele Spent RNC Money on Bottle Service at a Bondage Club [What Up]

Michael Steele is just wasting RNC money on limos and private planes and, yes, private bondage-themed nightclubs with topless ladies. Tucker Carlson’s The Daily Carlsoning has a wonderful story about how Michael Steele considered buying a private plane, because he spends so much time flying to nightclubs and Hawaii, but he decided not to. Instead he found many other creative ways to waste money. Once on the ground, FEC filings suggest, Steele travels in style. A February RNC trip to California, for example, included a $9,099 stop at the Beverly Hills Hotel, $6,596 dropped at the nearby Four Seasons, and $1,620.71 spent [update: the amount is actually $1,946.25] at Voyeur West Hollywood , a bondage-themed nightclub featuring topless women dancers imitating lesbian sex. Now, Voyeur is not really a “strip club” so much as a terrible-sounding nightclub with bottle service, long lines, Lindsay Lohan, and, yes, half-naked ladies simulating oral sex on each other. Which, to be honest, sounds way stupider than a proper, respectable strip club. Shame on you, Michael Steele, for encouraging this kind of thing. The GOP really has to get around to firing the embarrassing and inept Michael Steele eventually. Steele spent $1.4 million on the GOP’s terrible new website, he charges $15,000 for speaking appearances , and his RNC continues to spend more than it takes in as we begin the campaign season in earnest. But it would still present a bit of an image problem to fire the one prominent black Republican in America.
