Madeo Men: George Clooney Meets Fabio
WOMEN of a certain age like George Clooney. And their grandma’s, chubbier sisters and pendant moustachioed interior decorators like Fabio, the “romance icon”, the stalwart of deathless love style.
Both men belong to a past era: Clooney to the golden age of showbiz when the Rat Pack bestrode Vegas and never brought out a signature perfume nor felt driven to explain their lifestyle; Fabio is what happened to Sir Harry Paget Flashman when he moved to Italy, grew his hair and discovered girls and Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat.
The walking cover of a million penny dreadful romance novels, Fabio is seen entertaining the five female winners of a contest to watch him eat at Madeo restaurant.
On another table is George Clooney with female friend Sarah Larsen. Pictures are being taken by the Fabio party. Clooney notices. He thinks they are taking pictures of him. The Enquirer produces a picture of Clooney firmly in shot. He is ordering a copy of the print with his middle finger.
Fabio is incredulous. Fabio has the look of a man who thinks America is dubbed the land of opportunity because it gives the huddled masses the opportunity to meet him. He maintains the pictures of are of him and his winners.
Words are said. Fabio calls Clooney a “diva”, which may be a term of the highest praise. George drops what the Enquirer call an “F-bomb”. Says Fabio’s agent: “Clooney starred in ER and Fabio is going to send him back there.”
Macho stuff. And we see the cover to the book of the meeting now as Fabio (breeze-blown hair and leopard-trunks) looms over Dr George.
Madeo Man, by Jude Devereaux is available in good, bad and indifferent book shops…

Huh? “Women of a certain age love George Clooney”? And “…belongs to a past era”? I’m about to turn 30 and I think George Clooney is AWESOMELY HAWT! Maybe I’m prematurely a “grandma” type. Somehow I don’t think so though, since he was named Sexiest Man Alive (AGAIN) for 2006.
By the way, since Mr. Clooney has declined to comment on the incident (HE doesn’t need the publicity, unlike Fabio Whatshisname), we have only Fabio’s word for it, which was disputed by a bystander. They probably WERE taking his picture.
I don’t blame celebs for getting upset with this. Just because they’re famous doesn’t give people the right to stick a camera in their faces every time they turn around. You want to see them? Go buy a ticket to their latest movie or buy their CD.

Believe it or not, Fabio lives in my hometown in Weston, CT and he’s a mellow dude. Not the womanizer he’s pegged out to be. It’s all an act - part of his job and he gets paid to keep up the image. Otherwise, he’s a regular, down to earth guy.
