George Clooney has been arrested.

Even Hollywood's biggest celebrities can get into trouble.

"George Clooney was arrested Friday for participating in a staged protest outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington, D.C., organized to bring attention to that country's president, Omar al-Bashir, provoking a crisis with his blockade of humanitarian aide.

As he was being taken away Friday morning, after authorities warned him three times to leave, Clooney said, "This is for the government in Khartoum to stop randomly killing its own innocent men, women and children. Stop raping them and stop starving them. That's all we ask," reports USA Today.

Handcuffed and arrested along with him were his father, journalist Nick Clooney; U.S. Rep. Jim Moran (Dem.) of Virginia; NAACP President Ben Jealous, among others, reports the Associated Press. They were then placed in a Secret Service van."

The arrest was planned. He wanted to draw attention to an important cause. I applaud him for this. Gee's, how any times has Martin Sheen been arrested?

I'd do the cell block tango with him. He's so damn fine.

It's nice that everyone here can come together over George Clooney.

One handed?

I'd rather he come over me than vice versa.

I would like to give him a warm hand on his release.
