George Clooney Pokes Fun At Pitt/jolie Baby Reports....

Brad Pitt's pal George Clooney has joined the ranks of those gossiping about Angelina Jolie's 'baby bump', joking her bloated belly might just be a bad case of gas.

The couples' representatives are still refusing to confirm or deny the actress' reported pregnancy, which was the talk of the Film Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday (23Feb08).

The pair raced up the 'blue' carpet, refusing all interview requests, but it was clear from Jolie's bloated belly that the actress may, indeed, be pregnant, as reports suggest.

And now Clooney is weighing in on the mystery.

Speaking on the red carpet at the Oscars on Sunday (24Feb08), the movie star joked, "Well, there's a lot of problems. Either it's a tremendous amount of gas which is just not likely... Really, not likely".

Meanwhile a little paternal advice almost cost George Clooney his big screen career - when dad tried to persuade his son not to quit 1980s sitcom Roseanne.

Former journalist Nick Clooney told his actor son to sign a contract extension for the show, but the Oscar winner chose to ignore his father's career advice.

In an impressive Time magazine expose on Clooney, his father says, "He was offered a stupendous amount of money to continue to do Roseanne.

"I was thinking he could build a little nest egg and maybe acting would pay off after all. He said, 'No, I'll be in a cul-de-sac. I'll be that guy, and that's all I'll be.'"
