Looks like George Clooney and Robert de Niro made one too many friends whilst filming their Vegas-based movies.

During their time filming Oceans Eleven and Casino respectively, they befriended Vegas stripclub owner, Rick Rizzolo – who runs the crazy horse club.

Rizzolo is currently involved in an ongoing investigation into an alleged racketeering scandal. And it seems the Feds are questioning his celebrity buddies, including Joe Pesci, about any knowledge

Rizzolo's lawyer Tony Sgro tells the New York Daily News, "(The FBI) has interviewed some of Mr. Rizzolo's celebrity friends.

"(They) have tried to make those friends nervous in order to cause those friendships to end. To suggest that any of those friends know anything with regard to the Crazy Horse is absurd."

i'm sure there's a movie to be made out of all this when its over
