Feds pursue celebrities in Vegas mob investigation

How do George Clooney and Chicago Mob boss Joey "the Clown" Lombardo wind up in one story? The Baltimore Sun :

Federal agents in Las Vegas want to meet celebrities -- but they aren't looking for autographs.

Investigators probing alleged racketeering at the Crazy Horse Too strip club have questioned several of its star patrons, including George Clooney, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, sources tell us.

The feds have wanted to talk with all of them about Rick Rizzolo, Crazy Horse Too's owner.

Rizzolo's lawyer, Tony Sgro, confirmed the FBI "has interviewed some of Mr. Rizzolo's celebrity friends," to pressure him into cooperating.

The feds "have tried to make those friends nervous in order to cause those friendships to end," says Sgro. "To suggest that any of those friends know anything with regard to the Crazy Horse is absurd."

Rizzolo made Clooney's acquaintance while the actor was shooting Ocean's 11, which featured a scene at the Crazy Horse.
