Com George Clooney is the kind of guy who likes to keep his private life private. He is going very public with a fight. All in response to what he calls a negligent even dangerous fabrication in a tabloid newspaper. What got him so riled up . Heres abcs linz abcs lindsay. Reporter hes been the subject of inaccurate claims, impending marriages and babies on the way. This time the notoriously private actor is going public. The star of the hit film gravity couldnt help speak up and defend his future family calling the daily mails latest story about him completely fabricated. Earlier this week the daily mail british publication, reported his soon to be motherinlaw was oppose to his engagement to her daughter on religious ground, citing a friend of the family, say that she didnt think clooney was good enough for her daughter. The report claiming that she was born into a faith offshoot of islam that forbid intermarriage and several women have been murdered for disobeying the rules. End quote. The alleged friend of the family telling the daily mail that her mother has been telling half of beirut there are 500,000, and none of them good enough. But the pictures tell a different story. Both georges mom and his fiancees look like all was fine photographed walking together earlier this month near lake cuomo. While clooney the son of a retired journalist and subject of tabloid stories, says he respects freedom of speech. In an oped he slammed the daily mail for publishing a story that put his family and friend in harms way. He said, quote, i seldom respond to tabloids unless it involves some one else and their safety or well being. Rebecca ford from the Hollywood Reporter has been tracking the story. This is his future motherinlaw. So i think that was kind of the the line in the sand for him. I think a lot of people are going to view this as chivalry, here he is standing up for them and just another reason women will continue to love him. Off awe in fact, clooney goes on to say that amals family isnt part of the sect, i dont care if they fabricate stories of amal being pregnant or that the marriage will take place on the set of downton abby, but this lie involves larger issues. To exploit religious differences where none exist is at the least negligent and more appropriately dangerous. The clooney camp isnt interested in making any further comments but has told abc news there has been an enormous response to his written statement. His 36yearold fiancee amal is a highpowered attorney, author and human rights activist based in britain. Their wedding is reported to take place this september atnr clooneys home on lake cuomo. The long term bachelor famously telling Barbara Walters that marrying again wouldnt be in his future. You said you never want to get married again . No, i wont marry again. How do you know you wont marry again . I know i am never going to get married again. Because i wasnt very good at it. It didnt work out for numerous amount of reasons. And most of them were probably my fault. But ultimate lowly i wasnt wil to fix those things. I wasnt willing to try to make them work. And im not going to im not going to, i dont want to screw anybody else up. Reporter that was almost 20 years ago. Cleany was 34 at the time. The guy once called eternal bachelor is now ready to walk down the aisle again. In an email to abc news, mail online said the story was supplied in good faith by a reputable and trusted freelance journalist. However we accept mr. Clooneys assurance that the story is inaccurate and we apologize. The piece that George Clooney wrote was so passion that and so well written and so intelligent that i dont think there is anything else the dailymail could have done to save face at that point. Reporter it remains to be seen if clooney will accept that apology for take it even further. A lot of times the tabloids will have no shame. But i think that when a letter like this comes from a celebrity directly, it is something that stands out. Los angeles attorney aaron moss who represented katie holmes in a successful case against star magazine says there is a difference between the way british and american ones do business. British tabloids tend to be more vicious than their american counterparts. But the counterveiling issue is that it is much easier to sue a british tabloid than an american tabloid because of First Amendment concerns. This isnt the first time the daily mail had to apologize due to an erroneous story. Including elton john who sued the daily mail for libel after reporting he was rude to guests at a charity event. Earlier this year the paper printed an apology to j. K. Rowling falsely reporting that people at her church taunted her for being a single mother. Rowling sued the paper and won. Kate winslet took on the daily mail winning 40,000 libel lawsuit after it posed the question should kate winslet win an os scar for the worlds most irritating actress. In this country tom cruise settled a 50 million lawsuit from the publishers of life style magazine after he said he abandoned his daughter suri. Why do some tabloids publish these stories . There is an insatiable appetite for celebrity gossip. And most of the time they know that celebrities are not going to do anything about it. For clooneys part. He says the laughable tabloid crossed the line into an arena of inciting violence. And heap ju just needed to set record straight. For nightline, im Lindsay Davis in new york. Next, this terrifying water slide failed the sandbag safety test. So what happens when we put it to the test . When i say we, i mean him. Where memories will be forged into the sand.

There is a water slide in kansas thats no joke. 17 stories high. Think statue of liberty high. The tallest in the world. And arguably the most dangerous. So who is brave enough to give it a go . Abcs matt gutman gets a heartpounding peek. Reporter the 264 steps up give you time to think or maybe worry. This is literally not for the faint of heart. Ahead the insane, worlds tallest and undoubtedly most dangerous water slide. Should you be worried there are lifeguard up there. If theyre nervous. Are you nervous . A little nervous. Feels like im about to be dropped off a cliff. Making matters worse, an array of cameras provided by garmon capturing every angle. They strapped a heart monitor on me. The slide is higher than lady liberty toe to torch. It drops a rider down a chute of water and tests those capable of 70 miles an hour with formula one type acceleration. [ bleep ] now Amusement Park rides are supposed to offer just the illusion of danger to send your heart rate humming. Up here the danger was no illusion. Pretty tight. Every time someone goes up, a park official has to read the two page waiver out loud. There is a risk inherent reporter a serial killer of sandbags during the year of testing. Captured by the travel channel, showing extreme water parks. Testing may be over. The construction not so much. Should i be concerned theyre using jack hammers and saws on this ride right now. Reporter so dangerous the grand opening was delayed again and again. Theyre doing their Due Diligence in making sure the ride is safe. Reporter some times it was the weather and some times the darn flying sandbags. Thats not too bad. You see, were neck deep in a walt water slide arms race. There are nine slide hyperthan 100 feet. And two hyperthan the statue of liberty, the Gold Standard for water sliding height. The coowner jeff henry is an eccentric wizard of the wet. Rickly. My partner john some times an idiot. Reporter and maybe just a little mad. Truth is the water slide was so fast they had to slow it down to a zippy 45 miles an hour. Hen reap was involved in every aspect from the design to the construction to yes, the testing, or crash testing. Henry first built an 80foot mockup in texas earlier this year. Rafts launching into orbit again and again. But there are human crash test dummies. And henry is their chief. As challenging as the the ride is so was construction. Like a lego set with pieces that had to fit with laserlike perfection. It didnt always happen. How much over budget and how late . We are way over budget. Reporter there is one more person about to get his waltter slide face on yet again. Whoo. Better him than me. Thank you for watching abc news. World news now with overnight breaking new.
