Ellen DeGeneres Put Brad Pitt's Chippendales Prank Into Action 12/6/08

Brad Pitt's latest prank on pal George Clooney saw six topless Chippendales dancers pay the movie star a visit on Friday (05Dec08).

The practical joke was set up after Pitt told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres that a surefire way to secure an interview with Clooney on her show would be to lure him away from his production office next door to her studio home with semi-clad hunks.

Fun-loving DeGeneres, who has been trying to snare an audience with her neighbor for months, sent the Chippendales to his office and filmed their efforts to impress the Oscar winner.

Once inside, the six dancers performed a routine for Clooney's red-faced assistants and secretaries, who informed them the movie star was not on set.
