Back in the fall of 2005, Brad Pitt and George Clooney were widely reported as having co-invested in the Boom Boom Room, a Laguna Beach gay bar and hotel, though the actors' reps denied their involvement at the time. Its official buyer, Beverly-Hills-based billionaire Steven Udvar-Hazy, has now put the property back on the market. Smelling an opportunity to hang ten on a wave of some well-timed Oceans publicity, Lily-White Coastal Community Citizens for the Right to Get Hammered on Planter's Punch Among Their Own, Man-Loving Kind have enlisted the actors' help in an ad found on page 14 of today's Variety.

We've reproduced the ad for you above, which politely begs the two A+ listers and "true leaders in human and civil rights" to invest in the Boom Boom Room for real this time, thus ensuring the cocktail lounge retains its seaside disco-dancing charms for generations to come. The time has never been better for Clooney to start veering away from the dreary topic of the Darfur genocide, and instead alert the UN General Assembly to the imminent threat of "uppity straights coming in and ruining high tea at the Boom Boom forever! Who's with me, people?!"
