  Clofu? Clooney flavored Tofu?

  Just
  when we thought we’d seen it all from PETA — the animal rights
  organization known for high-profile celebrity ads — President Ingrid
  Newkirk has come up with this: George Clooney-flavored tofu.

  In a letter sent to the actor, Newkirk said that PETA has been
  offered his gym towel (obtained right here in D.C.!) and wants to use
  his sweat to create Clooney tofu that will “spare animals from being
  killed for the table.” She went on to explain that the science is
  pretty simple, like “making artificial chicken flavor for instant
  gravy.”

  Newkirk, a big fan of Clooney, told us yesterday that the towel was
  offered by a PETA supporter with the idea of auctioning it off, but she
  immediately thought of using his perspiration for bean curd: “I
  thought, ‘What would make tofu more attractive to people?’ … I can see
  people having parties to try CloFu.”

  Clooney’s not biting. “As a mammal, I’m offended,” he told us yesterday through his rep.
