Golden Globe organizers on Thursday said they will honor director Martin Scorsese with their Cecil B. DeMille award at their upcoming ceremony, signifying his contribution to entertainment.

Okay, that’s not true at all. The actor actually seems extremely nice, funny and humble and is quite talented.

He’s like John Mayer, minus all the douchebag qualities. Only Derek Jeter rivals Clooney’s ability to pull tail, leave tail after a period of time and never receive a shred of criticism from the pieces of tail he’s left behind.
