According to New York Post gossip column Page Six, Clooney dined with restaurateur Michael Chow and wife Eva and was congratulated by other celebs in the packed restaurant, including Kirstie Alley, Kelly Preston, Jackie Collins, Kathy Griffin, Ray Romano and society ladies Nikki Haskell and Barbara Davis.

Previous reports claimed George told his friends not to bother sending him birthday gifts.

“George either has a huge practical joke planned on everyone or he really is have a crisis about turning 50,” said a source close to the actor.

“He’s told everyone he doesn’t want to do anything or for them to send gifts. He’s intent on spending it alone because he says he’s too old for birthdays.”
