I think we can safely say that Amal Clooney is a big hit in New York. And George Clooney seems fine with that. Maybe that was the point of all of this. George wanted his “equal,” someone who could be a “star” in different social settings, so he wouldn’t have to take “my girlfriend, the former wrestler” to big events. George has smoothed Amal’s path in New York society and to pay him back, Amal allegedly bought George a very special gift for his 54th birthday today: a Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

Amal Clooney is treating husband George to the ultimate boy toy for his birthday – a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. The actor, who turns 54 on Wednesday, recently took a test drive in the £135,000 car, which is the latest model off the production line. And lawyer Amal has reportedly arranged to buy George one of the first available in the US to replace the star’s Porsche 911. The four-litre, 200mph motor will share a garage with his prized 1959 red and white Chevrolet Corvette.

A family source said: “George loves his cars. They have to be stylish and fast, and he always has two.”

They added: “Amal has been looking for the right car for him to replace his black Porsche 911 and the new one is much faster. He’s already test-driven it for his birthday present.”

Amal, 37, is also buying George a smoothie maker – “a big one apparently because he’s obsessed with his smoothies of all descriptions,” the source said. “George has had health issues, a lot of operations on his neck, and he finds the smoothies very soothing.”

“That’s in between the Casamigos Tequilas,” they joked, adding Clooney “finds fast cars soothing, too.”

I’m obviously out of touch with all the new-fangled kitchen equipment, but isn’t a “smoothie maker” just a blender? I just Googled “smoothie maker” and yeah… most of them are just fancy blenders. You can get the specialty smoothie makers, which look like they’re mostly for commercial use, so maybe that’s what she’s getting George. She probably doesn’t know because she never cooks or does anything in the kitchen?

As for the Porsche and George’s “health issues”… I really do wonder about his health. I tease George about a lot of stuff, but sometimes I see photos of him where he looks like he’s in genuine pain with his back and neck and I really feel sorry for him. And don’t Porsches have bucket seats? That’s going to be hell for George to get into and out of his new Porsche.
