The Reason Behind George Clooney's Long Hair

By Rob Shuter Posted Mar 8th 2010 07:10AM

Oh, Oscar night! So much glitz, glamour... and gossip! Why was George Clooney's hair so long? Who might be a bit jealous of Sandra Bullock's big win? What did Gerard Butler finally admit about Jennifer Aniston? The Naughty But Nice spies were out in full force on Oscar night, and we've got all the answers. All of the scoop after the jump!

George's Gal Behind His Long Locks

The most talked about hair at the Oscars didn't belong to Sandra Bullock or Jennifer Lopez (though Sarah Jessica Parker's was crazy!), but rather the most unlikely suspect: George Clooney.

"Everyone was talking about it," a red carpet source tells me about the long-haired 'Up in the Air' nominee, and what they were saying was not so nice.

"No one likes it except for his Italian girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis. She's the one who suggested he grow it. She thinks it makes him looks more European and less American."

Big mistake, Miss Canalis. We love our George just the way he is, with his superhero 'do. If you want your boyfriend to look more European, date Fabio!

Jealous Julia?

Sources tell me after Sandra Bullock won the award for Best Actress and was whisked backstage to do hours of press, Meryl Streep -- whom Sandra defeated -- grabbed Sandra's husband Jesse James to pass on her congratulations.

"Jesse was sitting by himself after his wife exited stage right with her Oscar and Meryl couldn't wait to go over and scream well done."

And although it took Meryl literally seconds to say congratulations, sources tell me Sandra shouldn't hold her breath to hear kudos from Julia Roberts.

"Julia has always seen Sandra as someone in her shadow. This win is going to kill Julia."

Now, now, ladies -- Hollywood is big enough for two pretty women!

Jen's Ex Makes Gerard Butler Come Clean

Bradley Cooper, who was once linked to Jennifer Aniston, made her current rumored fling Gerard Butler feel so uncomfortable, the '300' star finally spilled the beans about exactly what was going on between him and America's sweetheart.

"Gerard admitted to several sources that there was a lots of smoke between Jen and himself, but no fire," a backstage source tells me. "It's impossible to keep everyone guessing when you are standing next to a man who had really dated Jen."

Well, thank you detective Cooper for getting to the bottom of this mystery! Now we just need a few clues as to why you didn't attend the awards with Renee Zellweger?

Deep Reason for Mo'Nique's Fashion Choice

Last night, Mo'Nique proved she is a woman of action not just words.

Sources tell me: "Monique was wearing a gardenia in her hair and a Royal Blue dress on purpose. That was what Hattie McDaniel wore when she became the first black woman to win the Oscar in 1939, and she did the same to honor her despite stylists telling her other colors were more fashionable."

Good choice, Monique, for picking something that never goes out of fashion -- respecting what came before you.

Brad Pitt Passes on Oscars to Babysit

Insiders tell me that the producers of this year's Oscars tried everything they could to get Brad Pitt to present, but the dad of six instead chose to stay in Venice and babysit his brood while Angelina Jolie continued to shoot her new film with Johnny Depp.

"Brad is one of the biggest movie stars in the world. Of course they would have loved to have him as part of the show. However, nothing they could offer him compared to sending time with his kids."!

Don't think Clooney can look bad...no matter the length of his hair1

By Peggy

Julia Roberts can not now or could she ever hold a candle to Sandra Bullok!

By Gree

At least George Clooney, and the other men who understand fashion, were wearing bow ties with their tuxes. What is with the "fashion" of men wearing regular black four-in-hand ties with their tuxedos? Don't they realize that makes them look like chauffers? (Not that there is anything wrong with chauffers but that "uniform" looks out of place at a formal event.

George Clooney looks good no matter what. As far as his hair goes...if this is long, obviously you weren't around in the 60s. His hair is NOT long by any means.

"BENWA" you need to report immediately to your nearest Optometrist!!!

By Andi

I don't see what the big hairy deal is. His hair is not long. When it hit's his shoulders, then we'll talk!

By HAIRBOY

No one looks better with short hair. We must really be a nation of herd beasts if George Clooneys short haircut looks, "long" to people.

By looch

I think Clooney looked like a sourpuss because his buddy Brad wasnt there. I wonder about those two.

By gm

looks like an ole man to me. needs to stick with what looks good. to heck what the girlfriend thinks.

By Scp024

Who exactly cares about him or his hair? I think that he and his buddy Brad Pitt are two of the most overrated actors in Hollywood. I am so glad that Clooney did not win last night. He has only gotten by because his name is Clooney. Jeff Bridges deserved the win.

By helen nguyen

I can't help but find George's girlfriend looks like a man. he is dating a man.

By Toni

I think George Clooney looked great. If he chooses to have longer hair.....so what. He is a nice guy & probably didn't ask for anyones opinon. What he does or dosn't do is totally up to him & no ones buisness. Get a life.

By Jude2

Clooney is losing is looks like Mel Gibson, from too much alcohol.

By Debbie

Long hair? Really? George Clooney had long hair at the awards show? Seriously? I mean, is this a joke? That's was long hair? Have we stepped back to 1955?

By nicole

If George Cloney was to ever play in Gone with the Wind, he would not play Clark Gable but RHETT BUTLER. Get your stuff straight!
