Is that a baby bump? Or just a loose, sacky dress? OR BOTH? George Clooney and his wife Amal have been in Kentucky for most of this week. I’ve been seeing social media updates and reported sightings of them for days. George’s parents live in Augusta, KY and that’s where Amal and George were for the most part. Apparently, Clooney’s folks were hosting a big family reunion, which I guess gave the extended Clooney family a chance to spend some time with The Most Important, Brilliant and Fashionable Woman in the World, The Amal Unicorn.

It’s a Hollywood homecoming! George Clooney took his wife Amal back to his hometown of Augusta, Ky., for an annual family reunion earlier this week, E! News has learned. The newlyweds stopped by several of the actor’s favorite spots, including Magee’s Bakery, where he showed his leading lady the ins and outs of the town’s finest foods.

“George grew up around here,” Russell Dickson, the co-owner of the baker told us. “They both ordered transparents. It’s also called clear pie or cellophane pie. It’s made of eggs, butter, sugar and milk. It was her first time having one and she absolutely loved it.”

Dickson also chatted with the Brit beauty about how she’s finding Southern food thus far, and it turns out, she likes it!

“She mentioned she’s just become a fan of country breakfasts, biscuits and gravy,” he shared.

And Dickson admits that despite being one of the most famous stars around the globe, Clooney is still “the same guy, still a practical joker….We caught up on what’s new with everyone. They said they were having a good time in town.”

Meanwhile, word spread quickly around town that the Tomorrowland actor was in Augusta for his yearly family visit. According to a source, the 54-year-old was even spotted playing basketball in the Augusta High School gym with a bunch of students. And on Tuesday night, we’re told the family got together for a private party where Amal was introduced to several people who weren’t able to attend the wedding.

“He was really excited to introduce her to those who didn’t go to the wedding or didn’t know much about her. He’s proud. They are a loving couple and he seemed very proud,” our insider gushed.

You Yankees and foreigners might balk at Southern breakfasts, but trust me, I’ve seen “the full English breakfast” and the “New York breakfast,” and I’d take a Southern breakfast over those any day. If I was much of a breakfast eater, which I’m not (I eat yogurt and a banana for breakfast). I wonder if Amal has tried grits? I wonder if she’s tried scrapple?

Meanwhile, OK! Magazine (rolls eyes) claims Amal is taking acting classes because George asked if she’d like to do a cameo in one of his films. The theory is that Amal might make an appearance in Hack Attack, the film George is making about the Rupert Murdoch-owned press hacks. Since Amal is a “perfectionist,” she’s taking acting classes to make sure that she’s the best actress ever, in the world, throughout history.
