Frustrated by not seeing an end to the raging writer’s strike, A-list man candy George Clooney is, according to Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood Daily, looking to volunteer to act as a mediator between the two feuding parties – writers and studios – to put an end to this strike business. He’s apparently even looking to recruit fellow A-listers Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, John Wells and a few others, throw everyone in a room together and throw away the key until an accord is reached that satisfies both parties. Good luck with all of that, Clooney. Studios aren’t giving up juicy internet profits without a goddamn ruthlessly bloody dogfight.
