And George Clooney already stuck his nose into things by calling Jackman early in the morning.

“George Clooney rang me at two in the morning,” Jackman told PEOPLE Monday at the Australia premiere in New York City. “I was half asleep and I said to him, ‘Ah, George sweetie, good to hear from you.’ ”
But this was not a courtesy call. “He goes, “Shut up, Jackman!’ ” the Aussie actor jokingly recounted. “[He said,]‘I know what you did! You started this big campaign that’s been going on and [you] took the title away from me.’ ”
“I thought that was unnecessary,” Jackman deadpanned.

2am eh? What the hell? Was Clooney up all night waiting for the first print of the magazine to hit newstands? Kind of like waiting for Oscar Nominations to be announced? This is highly disturbing. No more Palms waitresses for the Clooney I guess.

You know Hugh Jackman, from X-Men and Van Helsing…well, apparently he is training to play an in-shape 40 year old wonderboy. Not really, but it would fit these new pictures. For those of you upset that I am posting pictures of a dude running down the beach shirtless, please remember that I am a journalist and have to report newsworthy items. I like chicks. I like them a lot.

He looks kind of crazy in the picture above. More Hugh Jackman shirtless pictures.
