George Clooney has been immortalized in jelly beans.
A portrait of the 46-year-old actor - who is nominated for the Best Actor
Oscar for his role in 'Michael Clayton' at the Academy Awards on Sunday
(02.24.08) - was made using 10,000 sweets by the Jelly Belly Gourmet Beans
Company.
The piece - which features Cotton Candy beans for George's cheeks and
Buttered Popcorn candy for his highlighted hair - will be donated to a
charity of George's choice later this week.
It will be displayed at the company's suite at Beverly Hills' Luxe Hotel
until its donation.
It was recently revealed George spent $40,000 on a Valentine's Day
treat for girlfriend Sarah Larson, when he paid for the couple to
spend the night in the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa in Las Vegas' Playboy Tower in
the Palms Casino Resort.
The 9,000 sq ft Sky Villa features an indoor waterfall, a round rotating bed
complete with mirrors on the ceiling, a swimming pool, plasma TVs, a massage
room, exercise room, sauna, media room and two bedrooms.
Before heading back to their luxurious suite, George and Sarah, 28, went for
a romantic meal at exclusive Las Vegas' restaurant Nove and watched the
Cirque Du Soleil tribute show to the Beatles, 'Love', at the Mirage Hotel
and Casino.

I'm sure he's beyond flattered.
They managed to highlight every wrinkle with endless shades of jelly beans.
