Everyone knows that you get one phone call from jail. After being arrested for protesting at the Sudanese Embassy on Friday, who did George Clooney call using his one phone call? "My mom," said the actor and activist. "Something never changes." Clooney jokingly told NBC's Ann Curry jail was "really rough, you can imagine." Clooney was released later that same afternoon after paying a $100 fine. Speaking on Meet the Press on Sunday, Clooney said that he felt that President Obama was in good shape for re-election, but needed to do a better job selling all of the landmark accomplishments that he achieved during his first term.

The creator of the Kony 2012 video may have a new viral video. New details and a new video have emerged from the bizarre arrest of Jason Russell, who is accused by police of running around outside completely naked and making sexual gestures last week. In this new video, Russell is heard talking to himself, cursing, acting irrational, and shouting about the devil. Russell was not arrested and police said he won't be charged, but he has been placed on a psychiatric hold to see if he's a danger to himself and others. Exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition were to blame for the episode, according to a rep for Invisible Children.
