Good news everyone -- George Clooney is alive and well ... just like Jeff Goldblum and Natalie Portman.
For some reason, some seriously messed up people at fakeawish.com dropped some evil rumors that Clooney was the latest star to croak this week ... and now, we've learned the fake stories have caused some serious concern within his circles.
TMZ spoke with Clooney's publicist, Stan Rosenfield, who told us he's been bombarded by frantic calls from legitimate media outlets and some of Clooney's friends who were genuinely shaken by reports of Clooney's death.
With the rash of actual celebrity deaths in the last few weeks, "death pranks" are at an all-time high -- but the people who are starting these terrible lies ... they're still the lowest of the low.

A Vespa-riding George Clooney was stopped by the police in Lake Como, Italy today -- but the only shot of his mug the cops took was for their own personal collection.
We're not sure why he attracted the fuzz's attention -- except maybe for his overall Clooneyness -- but they seemed more interested in getting autographs and selfies with the actor than bringing him down to the station.

Rande Gerber's sexual harassment lawsuit is about to get even sexier -- George Clooney will take the stand. Put another way, he's testifying against the chicks, so they may as well fold now.
Gerber, along with a couple of his employees, are being sued for sexual harassment -- allegedly kissing and fondling two former waitresses. Gerber calls the claims a "blatant lie" and he's even got witnesses to prove it -- including Mr. Clooney himself.
A rep for Gerber tells us, "Mr. Gerber and Mr. Clooney are willing to take a lie detector tests to prove that the allegations against Mr. Gerber are false. Mr. Gerber will not settle this extortion case even for a single dollar and will take all actions necessary to clear his name, including filing a $10 million lawsuit for malicious prosecution once these allegations are proven false."
Case closed.
UPDATE -- Through his rep, Clooney tells us, "I was with Rande the entire night -- as were a lot of people -- they will all say the same thing that I'm saying. This event never happened. Period."

Ever since his time as George Clooney's Boy Wonder came to a universally panned end, Chris O'Donnell says he and his "Batman & Robin" co-stars don't really call each other anymore...
Wonder why?

For a few hours last night, Barack Obama had some serious competition as White House hottie -- in the form of George Clooney.
Clooney cleared dog-sniffing security to meet up with VP Joe Biden and the Prez at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. to discuss the Darfur crisis.
More importantly though ...

George Clooney may have finally met a bigger player than himself -- 'cause it seems his new lady friend is a semi-professional game show contestant.
We figured out Clooney's sushi date from last weekend is either named Katie, Kate or Stephanie Moeser -- depending on which of the four different game shows she's been on.
Whats-her-name was on "Hollywood Squares" in late '03/early '04, "The Price is Right" in '06, "Trivial Pursuit" in '08 and "Don't Forget the Lyrics" in '07 -- where she won $350,000, despite having an ear-shattering singing voice.

"ER," "Batman," his bulimia diet secret -- almost no subject was off-limits with George Clooney yesterday when he landed in D.C.
The only thing he wouldn't touch: Rumors of his ex-gf Sarah Larson downgrading to D-list Ashlee Simpson ex Ryan Cabrera. Yeah ... that pretty much speaks for itself.

We all know "Batman & Robin," with all it's rubber nipples and codpiece close-ups, sucked -- but it's been almost 12 years. Clooney should probably let it go.

Forget Times Square, Cabo San Lucas is the place to be this New Year's. Everyone from Cindy Crawford and Kid Rock to Jennifer Aniston and George Clooney has headed down to Mexico to ring in 2009. Slap on some sunscreen and check out the UVA-list rays.

He may be one of the most beautiful men alive, but when it comes to downing whiskey, George gets just as sloppy as the rest of us.

Roswell, New Mexico -- home to one unidentified feathered object.
Clooney, decked out in a military costume for an upcoming flick, was shootin' hoops at a park yesterday with his personal driver -- and not doing too bad either.
Gotta love a Clooney in uniform.

No, it's not a mistake -- George Clooney actually reconnected with the show that launched his career just to hide from a woman who was driving him nuts, at least that's what one of the "ER" docs is sayin'.
... and from the way Scott Grimes was preachin' on about Clooney-ism outside Mr. Chow last night -- it's apparent that Scott has also accepted his hero as his personal George and Savior.

George Clooney could have just about any woman in the world, but there is just something about Krista Allen he can't resist.
Or so say Rush & Molloy, who report "friends" of George say he's back with Allen, whom he dated from 2002-04. He moved on to Lisa Snowden (pretty brunette) and then Sarah Larson (pretty brunette), and now he's returned to ... yes, the pretty brunette.
Krista "admits she just can't get over him," says a pal. Reps were mum.
