Huckabees Clip a Clooney Production?

No one knows who leaked the videos of David O. Russell throwing tantrums on the set of I Heart Huckabees—but if you think George Clooney had something to do with it, you're not alone.

Last fall, we reported that a number of Hollywood agents had been shown a clip of Russell screaming at Huckabees star Lily Tomlin while trashing a set. Sources told Radar that Clooney—who famously traded blows with Russell during the filming of Three Kings—was the one circulating the clip.

Clooney's rep, Stan Rosenfield, insists the star had nothing to do with it. "The question is preposterous. He doesn't know how to put a video on YouTube. He barely knows how to e-mail."

But perhaps he had some help?

Clooney is currently at work on Leatherheads, a football comedy set in the 1920s that he's starring in and directing. Among the crew members listed on the film's IMDb page is sound mixer Edward Tise. The two last worked together on Clooney's Good Night and Good Luck, and, before that, on Three Kings.

He also served in the same capacity on—you guessed it—I Heart Huckabees. A message left for Tise at Leatherheads' production office hasn't been returned, but one Hollywood insider cautions that Clooney would have had a wide variety of accomplices to choose from: "When a director is like that, it makes the entire crew want to do things to him."
