Who will be George Clooney's Best Man?

Ok, so the crazy press have all been claiming Brad Pitt'll be George's best man (little do they know) but who do we think it's going to be? Smarter money says Rande Gerber, but my feeling is it'll be one of George's core friends from way back, so probably Grant Heslov. I also think there's an outside chance it'll be his dad.

Your thoughts? Vote above.

I voted for Rande because he rode the boat with G&A. But I hope it is Ben.

I voted for Rande but I wouldn't be surprised if its Richard Kind or one of the old boys.

WOW!  121 onsite right now!  Yay team!

142 now...30 minutes later than yours.

No one's really interested in a Clooney wedding ?
Jkg of course.

I would hope Gio might be his BM. At least invite him and his wife. Hire in security if you can afford it

Einstein would be funny

I think Grant and the others will be groomsmen if there are any.

I think it will be Rande. It would be oh so fun to see Einstein there in a little white bow tie!

I think it might be his cousin, Miguel Ferrer - partly because he wouldn't be able to choose between his friends!

PAN - I think Miguel would be a very diplomatic choice, but I'm putting my money on Rande. He's the one who showed up in Italy early and seems to have been with George all week. If that's who he turns to for moral support, then that's probably his choice for best man, IMO.

I suspect tomorrow will be the upsurge in folks stopping by...

I voted for Rande. If not him then Grant.

I voted for Waldo...although i heard on this forum that he's already married too? I've no problem with Rande being best man, would be cool, but it would be surprising if it didn't offend any of The Boys - then again, only each of them knows how close they actually are to George these days. From Instagram pics and the like, i think the closest to George are Ben, Grant, Rande and even Mikey.

George was best man for at least Richard.  Don't know about the others.

At the moment it's 135...

where is brad pitt, I guess he is not coming unless he comes for the wedding day. I think maybe Angelia did not want to come because of amal, Maybe they clash. I do not know, but I know Matt Damon is there already and I am sure george is glad he came. they will be others there too so it will be great day for the wedding to take place. love u geore, bg

I'd be surprised to see Brad and Angie there. I know the tabloids seem to think they're BFFs but that really doesn't seem to be the case.

   I agree Katiedot. Besides, i just don't see Angelina being the type to attend these things. Also, no bride especially someone like Amal - who dresses and likes to look like a major celeb/movie star even on casual occasions - would want to be upstaged by Angelina. There would be even more of a circus with Brangelina there. 

  Btw, anyone know why Ellen Barkin and ex-husband are that close that they were invited? Really never believed she was close to him.

Saw somewhere (can't remember where - there are too many reports) that Brad will be attending alone because Angie is busy filming. Since they're both working on the same film, I find that a little odd.

melo1- Seeing who some of the guests are (Anna Wintour, Toto, Ellen Barkin) I guess there's a lot more we don't know about George than we thought.

So Rande is winning the poll at 67%, guess we will find out soon enough

Who's Toto?

Judy Garland's dog in Over The Rainbow.

Just kidding Doug Ross. Toto is an old American band. Africa, Hold The Line, Roseanna....

One of the members Steve Lukather was arriving in Venice yesterday.

who was the lady who did the cinemetique award thing, seemingly a long term friend, same time as Richard Kind - is she there

Ooh the blond lady, blond hair Bonnie something, is it Bonnie Hunt

Bonnie Hunt? Haven’t seen her Picachu.

Would the person who introduced them be present? I can't see that not being the case....

U mean Bonnie Hunt?

I wonder whether he didn't invite Ben Affleck?

Also, just realised i've never seen Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt at the same function (Gwyneth Paltrow connection).

In the interest of political correctness, if he couldn't have both Brad and Jen at the same event, then might as well (and fair) not invite either one?

  What exactly would a best man do/what need is there for a best man - I always wonder - if it's not a church wedding.
  Maybe there won't be a best man?

They hold the ring and keep the Groom in check I guess, makes sure he gets to the Church/Hotel/Garden/ etc on time.

Oh, so the guy I didn't know who he was, was actually Steve Lukather..
Thanks

The Best Man usually makes a speech at the Wedding meal. It often has amusing or embarrassing anecdotes about the bridegroom.

And he catches him when he passes out during the ceremony!

And whispers discreetly "I do", if the groom is unable too

  In my community the toastmaster makes the wedding speech. The best man plays his role in church, standing in front waiting with the groom. It's usually the younger brother/unmarried best friend of the groom.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone seen her father?

I think his father will be best man!!
