Jon Stewart and George Clooney film scene, share bed
Pair shoot "Brokeback Mountain" spoof for Oscars

George Clooney and Jon Stewart may have had a “moment of zen” in the Town of Blooming Grove yesterday.
Since Wednesday, Blooming Grove residents have gathered by the dozens on the set of George Clooney’s new movie, Michael Clayton, to get an autograph or have a picture taken with the actor. While they waited, rumors began circulating that Stewart, host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show and of the upcoming Academy Awards, was going to make an appearance. But not in the movie.
Here’s what we know for sure:
A house near the one Clooney has been using was transformed from a crew hangout to a “closed set” yesterday.
Stewart arrived at 10:30 a.m. accompanied by two unknown men and said hello to crew members before entering the home.
A bedroom in the house was being renovated by the crew.
A member of the crew approached the owner of the house to inform her that “we have new sheets.”
Here’s what we’ve been told by unofficial sources:
The scene being shot will air during the Academy Awards on March 5.
The scene is a spoof on Brokeback Mountain.
Here are some details from the lady who “shared her bed” with the two actors:
“Jon Stewart and George Clooney made a skit in my bed and my bedroom ... (that) will be on the Academy Awards,” homeowner Doris Pinter says. She and her husband, Joe, opened their home to crew members for four days this week. Now they opened their bedroom door.
Pinter said about a dozen crew members tore apart her room, moved some furniture and items off her dresser and took the door off the hinges to make room for cameras. Everything was put back after the shoot.
“And they even remade my bed,” she says.
She says Stewart, whose wife is a veterinarian, was very nice and fell in love with her dog, an 18-month-old “pedigree mutt” named Ginger. Stewart also mingled with the humans in the household.
“We had a group picture taken with him and he also did some autographs and George signed an Ocean’s 11 DVD,” Pinter says. “They’re very sociable people.”
She says the taping lasted an hour and a half. Then she had one last request.
“I asked a member of the crew if I could have the sheets that Jon and George laid on autographed and she said no because they needed them for another skit,” Pinter says.
At least she can say she slept in the same bed as George Clooney and Jon Stewart.
