Fans of George Clooney have heard many stories about his beloved Lake Como villa, but the Oscar nominee has decided to sell it after too many incidents with the Italian paparazzi. Over the years, the villa was featured in Ocean's Twelve and hosted many of George's pals, including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. However, paparazzi have been accused of climbing over a wall surrounding the home, and taking pictures of Clooney's girlfriend and, allegedly, a 13-year old girl who was visiting the villa last summer.
While Clooney was a very outspoken opponent of the paparazzi in the 1990's, and tried to influence the California legislature to pass some laws to restrict their ability to pursue the rich and famous, he has limited his crusade in recent years, and seemed to enjoy a measure of privacy in Italy.
However, the residents of Lake Como shouldn't be worried about losing their most famous resident. Clooney is trying to purchase a more private place nearby.
