George Clooney Goes 'Up In The Air' for Frequent Flier Miles Quest

May 26, 2009 at 9:21 AM | by | Comments (0)

George Clooney is filming a movie that will surely have the folks at FlyerTalk forking over $11 a pop to see it on opening weekend. "Up In The Air" is about a man trying to accumulate one million frequent flier miles while at the same time, trying to land a job at a mysterious management company called MythTech.

So far, it doesn't look like the movie has any tips about scamming the system for a million miles. Nope, it looks like Clooney's character will actually be flying a million miles as most of the filming has taken place at airports across the U.S.

But when he hasn't been filmed racing through airports, Clooney took advantage of his film's expense account by dining (and drinking) out, a lot.

In St. Louis, Clooney was spotted at Subzero Vodka Bar, where he dined with "a couple ladies and a couple gentlemen.”

In Miami, Clooney made headlines while celebrating his 48th birthday at LIV in the Fountainebleau after witnesses saw a "stumbling George throw up in the VIP area." Clooney later told the NY Daily News, "That never happened, although I was sitting next to someone who did throw up." Note to George, that really isn't much better.

And to top it all off, in Las Vegas, he threw a wrap party for the cast and crew at the Hard Rock’s new steakhouse, Rare 120. After hearing Rare 120 was known for their exceptional service we started to wonder if maybe George picked the restaurant in hopes of lining up his next girlfriend.

Next up for Clooney's career is "A Very Private Gentleman" in his adopted country, Italy. The movie is an adaptation of Martin Booth's novel and finds George playing and assassin who hides out in a picturesque Italian town before completing one last assignment.
