Hollywood Prankster George Clooney Shut Down Bill Murray Globes Prank
George Clooney can prank 'em out, but he can't prank 'em, it seems. The fully grown adult male actor, well known for his time- and money-wasting pranks on friends and coworkers, reportedly shut down a Golden Globes prank idea from his friend Bill Murray. George, you goddamn hypocrite.
Page Six reports Bill Murray planned to "pull a Kanye" on Clooney during the awards show, rushing onto the stage as Clooney was presented with his Cecil B. DeMille Award.

One Hollywood insider said, "I wish it had happened, it might have made the show more interesting."
