George Clooney punked on supposed fashion line

April 11, 2008 |  5:19 pm

37444409 George Clooney wouldn't chuckle at the old saw, "Wanna buy a watch?" He might throw a punch. Why? A couple of scamsters in Milan were recently busted for trying to sell a men's fashion and accessories collection branded as "Exclusively GC" and designed by George Clooney. [Rage note: "Exclusively GC" sounds like a bar mitzvah deejay's handle.] It was initially thought that the prank was an April Fool's Day hoax. But police found watches and garments in Milan that would have gone on sale next week if the scam hadn't been stopped. Um, did these Italian chowder heads ever consider the fact that a George Clooney fashion line would get some publicity? And it might get back to the actor? Clooney told reporters in Rome:  "If someone tries to sell you clothes or watches that are based on me, don't buy them."
