What would the odds in Las Vegas be on this slap fight between two Hollywood divas? Reports claim that Hollywood heavyweight and liberal activist George Clooney got into a fight with romance novel coverboy Fabio during dinner at Madeo in West Hollywood on November 2, a report from In Touch Weekly claims. The story is a classic and it is hard to believe that there is no cell phone video of the incident - what were the people thinking that witnessed this?

George Clooney vs. Fabio: Slap Fight, Clooney Dubbed a "Diva"

Clooney - who at times has been no fan of cameras and the paparazzi apparently even gets upset if people aren’t; taking his photo. Couldn't Fabio beat Clooney into oblivion?

Okay now to get this whole story you will have to think of how the quotes would come across in Fabio's Italian accent. ITW reports: Fabio and a group of women, including a professional photographer, were sitting at a table next to George and his girlfriend, Sarah Larson. How dare they!

The report cites numerous eyewitnesses that said that George (narcissism anyone?) suspected the woman was snapping photos of him and Sarah, so he asked her to stop. Cue the accent - "I thought you were a nice guy," Fabio said to George as he approached the table. "Stop being a diva." Those were apparently fighting words, because George stood up and the fight turned physical.

Apparently these two old guys started shoving each other right in the restaurant. They were separated before it could really get good. Cur the rep™ for a classic comment. Fabio's manager told the magazine, "George is lucky he didn't end up in the ER." Clooney's rep declined to comment to Page Six, who also has a report on the incident in today's paper.
