CBS NEWS ANNOUNCES THE LEGENDS AND NEWSMAKERS FOR "PERSON TO PERSON," A CBS NEWS BROADCAST SPECIAL ON WEDNESDAY, FEB. 8 (8:00 PM, ET/PT)

CO-HOSTS LARA LOGAN AND CHARLIE ROSE TAKE YOU INSIDE THE HOMES OF GEORGE CLOONEY AND JON BON JOVI, AND INTO THE PRIVATE OFFICE OF WARREN BUFFETT

CBS News' iconic PERSON TO PERSON will air as a television special on Wednesday, Feb. 8 (8:00 PM, ET/PT). Meet today's legends and newsmakers, not in public, but in private - inside their homes, inside their lives. George Clooney gives Logan and Rose a tour of his Los Angeles home, while Warren Buffett opens the door to his Omaha office, and Jon Bon Jovi welcomes PERSON TO PERSON to his 16-acre New Jersey estate that includes a recording studio and its own pub. Actor George Clooney, billionaire Warren Buffett and rocker Jon Bon Jovi share their most prized possessions and the unforgettable stories behind them.

"What sets our broadcast apart is the unique access," says Executive Producer Susan Zirinsky.

"When someone opens their home, they're sharing a part of themselves that traditional interview programs can't reach," added Co-Executive Producer Judy Tygard.

When he originated the broadcast in 1953, Edward R. Murrow took viewers into the homes of icons like John and Jacqueline Kennedy, Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, and Elizabeth Taylor. Today, more than 50 years later, the allure of a rare glimpse behind the public personas of some of our most beloved and respected cultural icons remains. PERSON TO PERSON shows you how Hollywood's most popular leading man unwinds away from the lenses of the paparazzi, where perhaps the world's most successful investor conducts his billion-dollar deals, and the home studio where one of the world's most legendary rockers composes and records his music.

Building on Murrow's legacy, Logan and Rose will bring PERSON TO PERSON to a new generation. Susan Zirinsky and Judy Tygard are the co-executive producers of the broadcast.

by annemarie Thu 02 Feb 2012, 15:52

He is showing his bar, screening room and kitchen it says in people and roommate einstein.

by Katiedot Thu 02 Feb 2012, 16:19

Wow, that's quite a change in direction for Mr Privacy.

by hathaross Thu 02 Feb 2012, 16:23

Great!!!! I always want to see his house!! Very Happy

Althougt its only those parts... I know he never shows other parts of the House, as the bedroom, bathroom... to private for that.

And yeah, I think its his house, not the guest house because the guest house had a little kitchen, when Julia and him made burgers

by cindigirl Thu 02 Feb 2012, 16:25

It seems showing off his home is part of his Oscar campaign, although a bit over the top in my opinion. A bit like kissing babies, etc.

by hathaross Thu 02 Feb 2012, 16:29

Yeah, in Oprah show was when he showed the guest house with Julia, also to Oscar campaign... if he continuous nominated more years I don know what we be able to see about his life LOL!

Two pictures of the show:

From celebitchy

George Clooney shows off his dog to CBS: how’s his Oscar campaign going?

Perhaps one of my favorite George Clooney movies is Good Night and Good Luck. I think it’s Clooney’s best-directed film, and I always liked that he gave the lead role – that of Edward R. Murrow – to David Strathairn instead of taking it on himself. I bring this up because one of my favorite parts of the film was seeing Murrow’s give-and-take with wanting to be an “advocate journalist” with Joe McCarthy and Murrow’s acquiescence to covering “fluff” celebrity/entertainment journalism. Murrow hosted a show called Person to Person, which was the precursor to magazine news shows like 20/20 – Murrow would basically interview celebrities in their own homes and he always got some major celebrities. CBS News is bringing back the show, and of course, Clooney is one of the first guests! How’s the Oscar campaign, Clooney?

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

See how one of the world’s top film stars lives – away from the spotlight.

George Clooney has opened up his Los Angeles home to CBS News, showing off his kitchen (where he orders dinner), his screening room and bar, for a revival of the classic celebrities-at-home program Person to Person, made famous in the 1950s by Edward R. Murrow.

Along with his palatial digs, the Oscar winner, 50, also introduces viewers to a very special friend – his roommate Einstein, a black cocker spaniel whom he rescued in 2010.

“The dog came in and threw himself at me,” Clooney recalls, “and I find that works also with some actors.”

Clooney also shows off some favorite photographs, including a Rat Pack photograph from the original Ocean’s Eleven.

The new Person to Person episode, airing on CBS next Wednesday, Feb. 8 (8 p.m. ET), will also feature Jon Bon Jovi, who opens up his 16-acre New Jersey estate that includes a recording studio and its own pub, and Warren Buffett, who gives a tour of his Omaha, Neb., office.

[From People]

Oh, Clooney will show you his dog for the Oscar campaign. Clooney will not, however, show you his girlfriend for the Oscar campaign. Although… how amazing would that be? If Clooney and Stacy Keibler sat down for an interview together? That would be on the same level as Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s disastrous Dateline interview back in 2003. I wish Clooney would go that balls-out for his Oscar campaign! I wish that Brad Pitt would too. I wonder what Jean Dujardin and Gary Oldman are up to? I would love to see inside Oldman’s house, right?

I guess it would be fine

oopsie

I read it wrong lol!

by it's me Thu 02 Feb 2012, 18:26

HAHAHAHA!!!

by lucy Thu 02 Feb 2012, 18:40

Well the kitchen now makes sense, when I saw the one with G&J I couldn't believe how small the kitchen was. What about all those Thanksgiving dinners, how to cook for so many? Can't wait to see what the one in his home is like.

by Cinderella Thu 02 Feb 2012, 18:48

That's what I want to see, too! Well... and the screening room... and... Okay, the whole place! Smile

by lelacorb Thu 02 Feb 2012, 20:11

I wont to see his bedroom and I wont deam !!!!! I want be in her bedroom and...........................I dream!

by cindigirl Thu 02 Feb 2012, 20:44

I probably won't be able to see this next Wednesday, I'll be at my daughter's house dog and kid sitting and I'll have to fight tooth and nail to get access to the television. LOL I'm counting on someone here to post. Thanks in advance.

by pattygirl Thu 02 Feb 2012, 21:21

Cindi - I'm gonna record it so if you want to come over and watch, be my guest. Did the same with Actors Studio. LOL!

by it's me Thu 02 Feb 2012, 21:26

then put online!!!!!

by hathaross Thu 02 Feb 2012, 21:31

Really? can you upload to any web and give us the link??

by melbert Thu 02 Feb 2012, 21:34

I don't think that if you record from the TV on to a VCR or DVR that you can upload on to the web. I may be wrong as I'm not very computer literate.

by it's me Thu 02 Feb 2012, 21:40

by pattygirl Thu 02 Feb 2012, 21:45

Unfortunately, you are so right. Can't do anything but watch it. Can copy anything from TV to DVR but that's it. Sorry about that, but if you want to come visit, I'd love the company. Got room for a few at a time. geek

by davidarochelle Thu 02 Feb 2012, 21:56

What a beautiful pic of Eins Clooney with G. Interesting WHO is called a roommate and gets to sit on G's lap.

by melbert Thu 02 Feb 2012, 21:57

It's Me, it will probably be on the CBS Website after it's shown, if you can open that up from Italy.

by hathaross Thu 02 Feb 2012, 22:03

but if you want to come visit, I'd love the company. Got room for a few at a time

LOL NExt time I´ll do hahaha

Yeah, sure its going to be online... so we only have to wait, (the worst part Razz

Thanks for the invite patty. Just talked to the kids and told them I'd fight them to the death if they kept me from watching. They know how I feel about Clooney and they backed down. LOL warning

by Dexterdidit Thu 02 Feb 2012, 23:22

LOL Cindigirl no one get's in the way of Clooney. Hopefully they will put it on the net I would love to see the house. Einstein get's a starring role! He looks quite comfy with George.

by Missa Thu 02 Feb 2012, 23:23

I'm going to say this, then duck and run before people start throwing things at me.

I'm almost starting to hope George doesn't win the Oscar. Only because it seems like he decided his "no press/campaigning" rule is the reason he lost the last couple of times, and he has made a mad dash in the other direction. The desperation is really off-putting. Never mind his idea that he needs to walk down the red carpet with some random girl on his arm, that's an issue in and of itself. Never ending magazine interviews? Stories about how he saved a puppy? Radio interviews about his favorite wine? And now this, camera crews touring his house. He hasn't done that since the Barbara Walters special in 1995, when he first hit it big. (I'm not counting Oprah, only because he was plugging a movie and it wasn't a "tour of his house". In fact, he had the good sense not to even go into his actual house.) If he does actually win after all this nonsense, we're going to have to watch him do this every year that he's eligible for the damn award. Just, ew. Maybe, just maybe, if he doesn't win this time, he'll just start letting the work speak for itself and stop demeaning himself like this. And by the way, I feel the same about Brad, who has also been whoring himself out like never before.

Please don't hurt me Stretchered out

by davidarochelle Thu 02 Feb 2012, 23:43

Do you think that his management team has convinced G that times have changed and the public wants stars to be more open? Reality shows are so popular and we now see EVERYTHING; changing the trends. Also G is responsible for selling "The Descendants." The more pap coverage he gets, the better for his movies. Otherwise he is not considered a true star, and will not get roles.

by lucy Fri 03 Feb 2012, 00:05

He's not showing his whole house, it's the timing anything he does will be attributed to campaigning for the Oscar. Bet he wishes he would of never came out with the no press no campaigning comment. From observing award season these last few years, if they've put in the work who cares if they celebrate/campaign for the win. IMO he is one of the many who deserves it. The work he has accomplished over the past few years is worthy of any awards/noms. he's been given. Look at Leo D. work over the years lots of noms. but no wins, does he put out any effort to campaign for his work?

by silly girl Fri 03 Feb 2012, 00:12

I am kinda with Missa....this campaigning is a little much....although in his defense look at who is doing the interview----Charlie Rose who is his friend and is also in Ides....and it is a throwback to Edward R Murrow....I don't think it will be a heavy duty interview just more of the same fun stuff he has been pulling doing lately....

Oh just had a thought, maybe he wants to help his friend Charlie out as CR has just started on the CBS morning show etc....that would be his way....

by Cinderella Fri 03 Feb 2012, 00:44

Well... I love it when I get to see that handsome man! The more press the better for me! Yay George! Keep giving it to me! Give Flowers2

by premiere Fri 03 Feb 2012, 00:51

I think all this "campaigning" is just smoke and mirrors . . .

by Missa Fri 03 Feb 2012, 01:24

It just seems as though he tries to play both sides. At every turn, he talks about how he doesn't campaign, how he values his privacy, how he hates Facebook and Twitter because there's too much "access" to celebrities (and everyone) now. And then he turns around and does this kind of thing. It just rubs me the wrong way. If this is the type of celebrity he's gong to be, then be that person. Don't go around backhandedly criticizing those who do while opening your front door to the same thing.

The Descendants opened two months ago, at least where I live. You don't usually see actors still promoting a film two months later in June or September. Promotion helps a film, certainly, but this is self-promotion for awards season.

by Cinderella Fri 03 Feb 2012, 01:28

Are you an actor, Missa?

by Missa Fri 03 Feb 2012, 01:31

Nope.

by davidarochelle Fri 03 Feb 2012, 01:53

Here in Las Vegas there is a new promotion campaign for The Descendants. Offers of free tickets to the Regal Theater. (I already got my free copy courtesy of SAG.) Only recently was the film even shown in many of the chains. I am sure that the nominations helped spread the word.

Can't wait to see the pictures Basketball

Perhaps it is as silly girl says, he's helping out Charlie Rose. It is classically something George would do. The original Person to Person was something he grew up with. In it's nostalgia, it is really grand. Person to Person, week after week, to the viewing audience on tours of the homes of celebrities, and they shared their thoughts with us, giving us just a glimpse of their lives. I think George will feel it's an honor to be able to do this, for Charlie and his fans. I remember seeing how their homes were, how much more they had than we did. Of course, I was younger then, and it was with some envy that I watched, but I loved every minute.
George is very proud of his home, which has been shown on those occasions when he did let people into his world. And remember, just because he lets us see parts of his home, they are the more public areas - kitchen, screening room. Nobody entering his inner sanctum, we'll never see that. His bedroom and bath are his personal space and not for public viewing. I remember reading somewhere that somebody, during an interview, was in his bedroom and wanted to know what was in his night table. He got very disturbed and cut them short and said nothing interesting. He won't make that mistake again.

I agree with you Missa. IMO: He wants an Oscar very badly.
Much, much more then he is willing to admit. He changed many rules which up to this year were his brand signature..
Now ; no more private life, a lot of interviews and talk shows, we could say that he is campaigning all the way to the stage.
I think it rubs a lot of his fans the wrong way. Hopefully it will work out for him and he will receive an Oscar. Otherwise it will be all for nothing. Sad

by Maggy Fri 03 Feb 2012, 02:24

I don't think it's for nothing. I think there are people who will enjoy
getting a glimpse of George's life.

by pattygirl Fri 03 Feb 2012, 02:31

zizi, really do we know anything more about his private life than we did before. Yes, he's doing a lot of interviews and talk shows. We complain when he's quiet, then we complain when he does his interviews and talk shows. We want to "see him" true, but just pictures? If he doesn't talk, he doesn't live. He shines when he's talking. Talking about intelligent topics is when he's on point and happy. Whether it campaigning or not, it's George at his best. cheers
