VENICE – Sandra Bullock is putting the kibosh on tabloid suggestions that George Clooney might be making the moves on her. British tabloid The Sun published a photo of the pair from the Venice premiere of their new film “Gravity,” saying that Clooney was “making eyes” at his co-star. Bullock said: “He was not making eyes. Maybe cross-eyes, but that is about the extent of his goggle eyes.” Besides, she added, each has enough “dirt” on the other to command “a level of respect and understanding. I adore George.” Clooney said in a comment released by Warner Brothers that he and Bullock have known each other before either had success in films “so there is no pretense. We are just friends.” Bullock also put in a call to the astronauts on the International Space Station for tips on how to play her latest role in space drama "Gravity", but America's "Miss Congeniality" says she will never give up playing comic roles. "I will do comedy until the day I die: inappropriate comedy, funny comedy, gender-bending, twisting comedy, whatever comedy is out there," Bullock said. — Agencies
