Pair shoot "Brokeback Mountain" spoof for Oscars
Blooming — Grove – George Clooney and Jon Stewart may have had a "moment — of zen" in the Town of Blooming Grove yesterday. — Since Wednesday, Blooming Grove residents have gathered by the dozens — on the set of George Clooney's new movie, "Michael Clayton," — to get an autograph or have a picture taken with the actor. While they — waited, rumors began circulating that Stewart, host of Comedy Central's — "The Daily Show" and of the upcoming Academy Awards, was — going to make an appearance. But not in the movie. —
Here's what we know for sure: —
A house near the one Clooney has been using was transformed from a — crew hangout to a "closed set" yesterday. — Stewart arrived at 10:30 a.m. accompanied by two unknown men and said — hello to crew members before entering the home. —
A bedroom in the house was being renovated by the crew. —
A member of the crew approached the owner of the house to inform her — that "we have new sheets." —
Here's what we've been told by unofficial sources: —
The scene being shot will air during the Academy Awards on March 5. —
The scene is a spoof on "Brokeback Mountain." —
Here are some details from the lady who "shared her bed" — with the two actors: —
"Jon Stewart and George Clooney made a skit in my bed and my — bedroom ... (that) will be on the Academy Awards," homeowner Doris — Pinter says. She and her husband, Joe, opened their home to crew members — for four days this week. Now they opened their bedroom door. —
Pinter said about a dozen crew members tore apart her room, moved some — furniture and items off her dresser and took the door off the hinges — to make room for cameras. Everything was put back after the shoot. —
"And they even remade my bed," she says. —
She says Stewart, whose wife is a veterinarian, was very nice and fell — in love with her dog, an 18monthold "pedigree mutt" named — Ginger. Stewart also mingled with the humans in the household. —
"We had a group picture taken with him and he also did some autographs — and George signed an 'Ocean's 11' DVD," Pinter — says. "They're very sociable people." —
She says the taping lasted an hour and a half. Then she had one last — request. —
"I asked a member of the crew if I could have the sheets that — Jon and George laid on autographed and she said no because they needed — them for another skit," Pinter says. —
At least she can say she slept in the same bed as George Clooney and — Jon Stewart. —
Sweet dreams, Doris and Joe.
