George Clooney brings celebrity and focus on the Sudan to Council on Foreign Relations
By Jen Chaney
When George Clooney shows up at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington, D.C., a few predictable things happen. For starters -- and most importantly, certainly -- he speaks at length about preventing more potentially deadly civil unrest in the Sudan, a time-sensitive concern given a January referendum that could split the north and south regions of the African nation.

In advance of a closely watched January vote on a referendum that could divide north and south Sudan, he is reportedly meeting with Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) as well as President Obama; he'll also make a presentation this evening at the Council on Foreign Relations, where Celebritology will be on the scene.

And clearly he knows that, which is why he often uses his fame to...
