Brad Pitt and George Clooney Buy Gay Bar in Laguna Beach??

Defamer.com reported that George Clooney, Brad Pitt and an airplane finance tycoon are buying one of Laguna Beach’s best-known gay bars, the Boom Boom Room, and plan to turn it into a ritzy restaurant and bed and breakfast, according to sources.

The actors have teamed with Beverly Hills billionaire Steven F. Udvar-Hazy, chief executive of airplane lessor International Lease Finance Corp., to buy the Boom Boom Room and its adjoining Coast Inn on Pacific Coast Highway, sources said.

The bar and hotel could be converted into a restaurant and the first bed and breakfast in a chain of such getaways to bear the names of Clooney and Pitt. Clooney also has teamed with developers who are planning the $3 billion Las Ramblas condominium and hotel complex (www.lasramblasvegas.com) near the Strip in Las Vegas. The real money behind the Laguna Beach deal, sources said, is Udvar-Hazy, who ranks 125th on Forbes’ list of richest Americans with an estimated net worth of $2.1 billion. With a mansion in Monarch Beach, Udvar-Hazy also appears on the Business Journal’s list of the county’s “Weekend Wealthy.”

The Hollywood Bureau contacted publicists for both Pitt and Clooney and they say this story is absolutely false saying, "Brad Pitt and George Clooney have no plans to buy the Boom Room, and furthermore do not even know Mr. Udvar-Hazy."
