Amal Alamuddin celebrates bridal shower

Amal Alamuddin enjoyed a bridal shower on Tuesday. The British human rights lawyer celebrated her impending marriage to George Clooney with an ''intimate'' dinner hosted by Ellen Barkin at the actress' New York home. According to the New York Post's Page Six column, the shower was attended by both Amal and George's mothers and the Monuments Men star's sister, and there were even a ''few men'' at the event. Ellen met George when they worked on Oceans Thirteen together and she previously claimed to be ''proud'' to say she had slept with the hunky actor.  She joked in 2006: ''I am the only actress willing to stand here and say, 'I have f***ed George Clooney.' I'm very proud of it... If you don't have chemistry with George Clooney, you need to check your pulse.'' The 53-year-old actor later insisted there had ''never'' been any romance between them, adding she was a ''great friend.''
