Clooney Comes Home Monday!

from the enquirer...

George Clooney and co-star Renee Zellweger will attend a red-carpet premiere of their "Leatherheads" movie Monday night in Maysville, Ky., about 60 miles east of Cincinnati.

Clooney, 46, who went to high school in nearby Augusta, is the star, director and producer of the romantic comedy about 1920s pro football.

Universal Pictures announced the screening late Tuesday. Universal representatives had scouted Maysville two weeks ago. The film opens nationwide 11 days later, on April 4.

The premiere is invitation only in the 471-seat Washington Opera House in downtown Maysville.

People will be allowed to stand along the red carpet, like at the Oscars, and wave to the celebrities, a Universal representative said.

Celebrities are scheduled to arrive at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. screening at the theater, 116 W. 2nd St.
