Last week, George Clooney and Amal went out to dinner with Julia Roberts. George and Julia have been working together in NYC on Jodie Foster’s new film, Money Monster. After the dinner, Julia publicly gave Amal her stamp of approval, although that doesn’t really mean much. I mean, Julia Roberts deigned to mention someone other than Julia Roberts, so that is newsworthy, but let’s not pretend that George and Julia and Amal and Danny Moder are now besties and double-dates. It’s not that I think Julia doesn’t play well with other women, nor do I think Amal has the same problem – I think both women are simply used to being the center of attention, the queen of all. I can just imagine that the dinner was a minefield of passive-aggressive shade and goose-honk laughing.

Now Star Magazine is getting in on it. Because two women will never be able to get along (even if I agree that these particular women probably don’t care for each other).

George Clooney is desperately trying to act as peacemaker between Julia Roberts and his wife, Amal! Julia is fuming that Amal keeps showing up on the NYC set of ‘Money Monster’, even bringing her parents and sister, Tala, to meet the cast.

“Julia tolerated it the first time,” dishes an insider. “But Amal keeps dropping by and interrupting filming. Everything grinds to a halt and it’s driving Julia crazy!”

George heard Julia’s gripes and took the two women out to a swanky dinner to smooth over tensions. While he claims that the pair have “become good friends,” insiders say Julia is just playing nice… for now.

See? Julia’s mad because Amal is pulling focus from the most important person on the set: Julia Roberts!! Honestly though, Amal has only made a handful of pap-friendly stops to the New York set, so it doesn’t really feel like Amal is there constantly, enough to annoy Julia. But anyone trying to pull focus from Julia for any amount of time will always be The Enemy!

Julia also deigned to participate in a skit for NBC’s Red Nose Day. It was sort of funny but the bit went on too long.
