In the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair, George Clooney adorned the cover & a few other pages inside.
Clooney talks about lots of things; the time when he first came to Hollywood, who he thinks is the best actress nowadays & what he thinks of Johnny Depp.
Clooney also talks about how he would love to put Paparazzi out of business, he says:
“Here is my theory on debunking photographs in magazines, you know, the paparazzi photographs. I want to spend every single night for three months going out with a different famous actress. You know, Halle Berry one night, Salma Hayek the next, and then walk on the beach holding hands with Leonardo DiCaprio. People would still buy the magazines, they'd still buy the pictures, but they would always go, 'I don't know if these guys were putting us on or not.”

He also said: “ The US has called it genocide, for you it’s called ethnic cleansing. But make no mistake – it is the first genocide of the 21st century. And if it continues unchecked it will not be the last.”
