PAGING DOCTOR CLOONEY!

It’s kinda spooky, considering GEORGE CLOONEY played a doc on “ER” – but this astounding scoop kicked off when the star lunched in Hollywood with one of his oldest, closest actor pals and suddenly asked: “Hey, what’s up … I noticed you’re  limping!?”

Said my source: “His pal answered it was no big deal, but George was relentless.

"He kept riding him about it and finally insisted on making an appointment with a specialist.

"Incredibly, doctor took one look at X-rays and immediately scheduled hip replacement surgery.

"After a successful op, George sent his buddy flowers and a bill from ‘Doctor Clooney’ for ‘consultation!’”

KICKER:

My “lame” excuse for not naming George’s famed actor pal: I’ve promised to wait until it’s announced!

Stay tuned!
