O'REILLY RE-IGNITES CLOONEY FEUD OVER TOPLESS TEEN SHOTS

The longstanding feud between GEORGE CLOONEY and U.S. newsman BILL O'REILLY has been fired up again after the Fox News anchorman questioned reports that topless shots taken of a teenager at the actor's Italian retreat have appeared in European magazines.

Bill O'Reilly interviewed by Marvin Kalb of The Kalb Report - held at the The National Press Club.

The two men first fell out when The O'Reilly Factor host questioned the handling of charity cash following Clooney's post-9/11 telethon - and challenged the movie star to debate the issue on his show. Clooney refused.

Now, O'Reilly is questioning Clooney's outrage over topless shots of a teen he claims were taken illegally by a paparazzo, and published, stating the pictures appear not to exist.

Last week (ends14Aug09), Clooney released a statement revealing his plans to sue the paparazzo he claimed scaled the walls of his Lake Como villa, and the magazines who published the shots of a young guest changing in her bedroom.

He raged, "We're suing two magazines and a photographer. I don't know about the law in the United States but in Italy it's illegal for photographers to climb over my wall and to take long lens pictures of a 13-year-old girl in her bedroom. I draw the line of privacy at that."

But O'Reilly went on air on Tuesday (18Aug09) and challenged the authenticity of the story.

He said, "Apparently those pictures were published in some magazines but the fact (is) you can't find them, and that, in itself, is very strange."
