George Clooney is Officially Locked Down
GEORGE CLOONEY and AMAL ALAMUDDIN made it legal yesterday with a civil ceremony at the municipal building in Venice, Italy. Meanwhile, a source says the reason BRAD PITT and ANGELINA JOLIE didn't attend was because they couldn't take a break from shooting their new movie "By the Sea".
George Clooney's $4 Million-Plus Wedding By the Numbers
According to E! Online, GEORGE CLOONEY and AMAL ALAMUDDIN spent more than $4 MILLION to treat their wedding guests to a blowout weekend. Here's how some of that breaks down . . .
The bulk of the money . . . almost $3 million . . . was spent on luxury hotel rooms for George, Amal and their guests. Some of those rooms cost up to $9,000 a night.
Renting out the Aman Hotel for the reception cost about $250,000 . . . plus an additional $300,000 to rent stuff like lighting and tables.
Dinner at the reception was $300 a head, and with 100 guests, that's $30,000.
Flowers were estimated to cost no less than $250,000.
George's tux set him back $5,000 . . . and Amal's custom Alexander McQueen dress was $380,000.
All the boat rides around the canals of Venice over the weekend cost around $36,500.
The reception was stocked with 250 bottles of champagne at $200 a bottle, for a total of $50,000. There were 200 bottles of Grey Goose at a total of $8,000.
The hundreds of bottles of Casamigos tequila were essentially free, since George is one of the owners of the company.
George's bachelor party on Friday cost around $1,750 NOT including alcohol. Amal's bachelorette party set them back around $2,000.
On Sunday, George and Amal treated their guests to lunch and dinner, for a grand total of $15,000 . . . again, not including booze.

In a new set of paparazzi photos, it looks like Bruce is wearing a SPORTS BRA under his shirt. And he does look a little BUSTY. (What do you think? At first I thought maybe it was a wife beater, but I've never seen a T-shirt anywhere near that low-cut.)

Five Random Facts For Tuesday
1. The Starbucks at CIA headquarters doesn't write people's names on the coffee cups, to protect their identities. (Wouldn't they just misspell the names anyway?)

5. Zebras injure zookeepers more than any other animal. One big reason is they've never been domesticated . . . they're just too aggressive.
