'Ocean's Eleven' To Cross The Ocean
Troops in Turkey are gearing up to see the premiere and hang with the stars: Clooney, Damon, Garcia, Pitt, Roberts and Cheadle.

Turkey is not normally a publicity priority for Hollywood, but these are abnormal times. George Clooney, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and Don Cheadle will be crossing the ocean for a special showing of "Ocean's Eleven" before American troops at an undisclosed base in Turkey immediately after its premiere in Los Angeles on Dec. 5. "We want to bring them a little bit of home for Christmas," producer Jerry Weintraub told the Associated Press. "We really wanted to something for these kids. We can pat them on the back, sign autographs and tell them we care. We were talking about doing a premiere in Rome or Paris and I said, 'I've got a great idea. We've got troops over there in harm's way. Why don't we go over there and show it to them?' George jumped up and said, 'Great!' and everyone came on board. I called President Bush . . . and he said he thought it was fantastic . . . Two minutes later I got a call from the Pentagon and we got the ball rolling." And the taxpayers won't spend a nickel. The bill for the trip is being footed by the folks at Warner Bros., who are also sending DVD copies to eleven warships.
