Britney Spears has driven George Clooney out of his home

24 January 2008 - George Clooney has decided to move house after he realised Britney Spears lives nearby.

The talented actor revealed all to Newsweek: "I just found out, like, 10 days ago I must live within, like 300 or 400 yards from Britney Spears.

"I found out because I came home at 10 at night and there was [sic] all these helicopters over my house with these lights.

"I think, 'Someone's broken out of prison...' I get my baseball bat, which is what you always get in every film, and I called up my assistant, who I thought was in my guesthouse."

George quickly realised it wasn't an escaped prisoner but that Britney lived close by.

He joked to Newsweek: "So now I have to move."
