The Fantastic fanfare was great while it lasted but it's over -- grim up and pack the bags. Training to Heathrow in less than an hour, and late as usual. Plane departing at 11 am (or something like that), back in New York by this afternoon, etc.

That's the happiest/suavest I've ever seen Wells. London agrees with you, sir.

Speaking of happy, check out Nick... er George Clooney and that smoking chick on his arm. Clooney must have the best life EVER.

You guys think Clooney ever has to go into a posthouse for a 16 hour-day of transcribing celebrity interviews for a dubbing facility? No? Noo????

If I had George Clooney's life, I'd be smiling like that all the time too.

And as loathe as I am to type the phrase "I agree with LexG," you do look uncharacteristically content there, Jeff.

Thanks for all of the wonderful London pictures.

She looks like a mannequin from a department store window.

Clooney always gets stellar birds. You always get some shrewy reporter asking him if he's going to "settle down" at every damn press conference or junket. Like it's the ultimate goal in life. He's too busy smashing top drawer models to bother with kids. What a legend.

If you had wifi on the plane you could smote Goldstein for talking shit about you on his blog today. As it is we'll have to wait hours.

You know, i don't think i'd mind much being slammed as long as they linked to my blog.

I doubt Jeff will have that look on his face when he arrives in Newark.

No wonder Clooney doesnt want to get married again. One hot chick after another. They start nagging. He says sayonara.

My, you look elegant!

Back when he made Out of Sight, Clooney and I had similar levels of gray in our mostly dark hair, even though I am a good 8 years older. After 11 years Clooney has blown far past me in the gray hair department.

Finally get a good contemporary picture of Jeff and it's in the loo. Thanks for the nice pics and reportage from London, though.

I just flew back to LA from Newark, and I must say the Newark airport is pretty nice. Especially in contrast to LAX, which is becoming pathetic. They haven't done much with it since the big upgrade for the '84 Olympics.

I swear some people get to live lives that are just incredible. Could you imagine being George friggin Clooney...? I hope I come back as that guy in my next life because it's just un-fucking fair!

Having read that Goldstein story, Don, do you disagree with his assessment, even if you mightn't have phrased it as harshly? Seems like the same situation as his chasedown from an earlier post where it was primarily about how Wells would consider something, and reassure the filmmakers he's on their side, and let them know HE knows what they're doing. None of which is a question.

Anyway, not challenging you, Don, just making conversation. I'd be surprised if you (as a person who ostensibly does interviews occasionally) haven't fielded a few of these "don't worry buddy, I get you, and I'm gonna tell you at length how much I get you" questions from time to time.
