George Clooney continues to prove himself perhaps the most thoughtful celebrity on the planet: He’s proposing a clever idea to beat Gawker’s vile “Celebrity Stalker” site, in which Gawker readers text in the location of celebrities they spot and, using Google Earth, Gawker instantly maps their locations.

Gawker Stalker is not only creepy, it’s dangerous, a perfect tool for some wanna-be Mark David Chapman.
