Clooney On the Mend

Despite suffering a broken rib from a motorcycle accident on Friday, George Clooney managed to make it to the premiere of his latest pic, “Michael Clayton” on Monday at the Ziegfeld. After the screening, thesp and his girlfriend Sarah Larson, who was in crutches due to a broken foot from the collision, mingled at The Harvard Club with pic’s writer-director Tony Gilroy and guests Ellen Barkin, Rene Russo and Kate Walsh.The pic marked the directorial debut for Gilroy, which didn't bother pic's Tilda Swinton one bit. “I am always working with first time directors. He is a more experienced first time director than most of the first time directors I’ve worked with," she said. "I think he has been a director for years but in his own head.” (A.Morfoot)
