George Clooney, Brad Pitt at the 2008 Venice Film Festival
Seems like the European media is as filled with imbeciles as the one across the ocean — and elsewhere. George Clooney and Brad Pitt were at the Venice Film Festival for the opening of their film Burn After Reading, which also stars Tilda Swinton and Frances McDormand, and which was written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Via The Guardian:
"Coming to the city means they can stay at the Cipriani on the Guidecca, one of the world’s classiest hotels, but it also meant they had to face questions from the European press.
"That inevitably meant there was more interest in personal matters such as how the Pitt twins are (they’re fine) and when Clooney is going to have children."

Admittedly, the press conference wasn’t all about marriages and twin babies:
"Clooney said this was the third film he had done with Joel and Ethan Coen — ‘my trilogy of idiots’ — and he did it because the script was funny. ‘There is no political intent in this film, it is just funny.’ Pitt said the only character instruction he was given was to be someone who always thought what was going to happen would happen, and was shocked when it didn’t. ‘After reading the part that was handwritten for me, I was not sure if I should be flattered or insulted. I’m still a bit unsure.’"
