George Clooney launched a private investigation after receiving a threatening phone call warning him to split from his girlfriend.
The ¡®Leatherheads¡¯ star was so shocked when he received the threatening voicemail telling him to ¡°dump the b***h¡±, a reference to his lover Sarah Larson, he enlisted the help of his former police officer chauffeur to trace the call to a pre-paid cell phone.
In the message, a middle-aged man can be heard saying: ¡°Dude, your friends asked me to give you a message - dump the b***h before you're sorry!¡±
George has been dating Las Vegas cocktail waitress Sarah since last year, but the 29-year-old beauty is unconcerned by the threat.
After George played it to her for the first time, in front of New Yorker magazine writer Ian Parker, a surprised Sarah said, ¡°Before you're sorry?¡±
Sarah claims she has been the focus of many false stories involving her Las Vegas past, adding: ¡°They say that I'm a stripper. There's a ton of stuff about that. I've never been a stripper. You know, just because I'm from Las Vegas, I must be a stripper. Because I'm a cocktail server, that means I'm an escort.¡±
George, 46, denied the call could be the latest in a series of pranks played by close friends Brad Pitt and Matt Damon, insisting: ¡°It's not a prank - none of my friends would do that.¡±
After tracing the call, George and his driver attempted to discover if the suspect had used a credit card to pay for the phone, but soon reached a dead end in their investigation.
