Clooney suffered a broken rib and scrapes while his passenger, Sarah Larson, broke her foot in the 3:30 p.m. collision. The two were treated at Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen and released, Clooney's spokesman, Stan Rosenfield, said.
"He's doing fine," Rosenfield said. "He has a broken rib, it's very painful and it'll take a long time to heal."
Clooney and Larson were traveling north and sped up to pass on the right of a 1999 Mazda Millenia that was preparing to make a right turn, said Weehawken police Sgt. Sean Kelly. Both were wearing helmets.
It wasn't known whether the Mazda's driver, whose identity was not immediately released, used a turn signal, Kelly said. The accident was under investigation.
"It's a he-said, she-said right now, but you can't pass on the right in Weehawken or anywhere in Jersey," Kelly said.
Rosenfield said the accident occurred when the vehicle signaled a left-hand turn, but turned right and struck Clooney's motorcycle.
"The car signaled left. George was riding to the right. The driver decided to make an abrupt right turn and clipped George," he said.
The 46-year-old actor was in the New York area to film the dark comedy "Burn After Reading," co-starring Brad Pitt, John Malkovich and Frances McDormand.
Clooney's recovery shouldn't interrupt the production's schedule, Rosenfield said.
Clooney's latest film, "Michael Clayton," will be released next month. He and Larson have been spotted together at several film festivals and movie premieres in recent weeks.

- Ron Paul has it all. http://www.ronpaul2008.com/about
**** TAKE AMERICA BACK ****
**** STOP THE WAR & Corporate Corruption****
Ron Paul has it all.
He has NEVER voted:
* to raise taxes
* for an unbalanced budget
* to raise congressional pay
* for a federal restriction on gun ownership
* to increase the power of the executive branch
He HAS voted:
* against the Iraq war
* against the inappropriately named USA PATRIOT act
* against regulating the internet
* against the Military Commissions Act
He will eliminate the IRS, Wasteful Government Spending & Stop The Iraq War Immediately!
Most importantly, he voted NO on anything in Congress that is not allowed by the Constitution.
He is the only candidate not a member of the CFR!
Shouldn''''t ALL members of Congress uphold the Constitution? Aren''''t they SWORN to uphold it? You can bet Paul won''''t call the Constitution "just a G**D***ed piece of paper" like George Bush is reported to have.
If you want a candidate you can TRUST due to a proven track record, visit ronpaul2008.com and get busy spreading the word. The Mainstream Media is a lagging indicator!!

- Remember 2000, when Bush was campaigning for President as "Compassionate Conservative".
Those were his first TWO LIES to the nation.
He is not compassionate, as he spends $500 Billion on a needless horrific war based on Lies, gives hundreds of billions in massive tax cuts to the filthy rich, then says $7 Billion per year to help poorer kids get health insurance either costs too much or would take profits away from mega-insurance-corporations (God forbid!)
He is NOT Conservative. Ron Paul is Conservative. Conservatives do not double the national debt to NINE TRILLION Dollars. Conservatives do not go on radical reckless Invasions, Hitler style (you know, based on LIES, FEAR, hyped fake-patriotic fervor, co-opted media that is nothgin more that flag-waving cheerleaders...) - Reply to this comment

- I have been motorcycling since 1953 and Bicycling longer than that and have learned to ride as if I were invisible and the other people cannot see me. I have had people look me in the eye and still pull out in front of me. I have gotten off a bike just about every way you can get off one without dying. Some of them were not fun. Passing on the right is one way to get killed very quickly. I agree with One_American, "Bonehead. What a maroon."

- It doesn''t matter if a turn signal was used or if it was a left turn signal instead of a right. It is illegal to pass on the right. Mr. Clooney is old enough to no better. If I was his ex-waitress girlfriend, I would sue the fool.

- Blackwater Probed for Weapons Smuggling! Now that is a headline!
You can''''t make this stuff up! Is this NEOCON NIGHTMARE really happening?
Could our very own Blackwater civilian-murdering terrorists be selling our weapons to the Iraqi resistance?
Maybe they think they are helping to repel a foreign occupation of Iraq, by a nation that created a pretext of LIES to justify the Invasion and theft of the vast Iraqi Oil Reserves?
Maybe Blackwater just wanted to keep the war going? It is after all very profitable when you are making 10 times the money that the US troops are making.
Maybe they kill civilians because it is good target practice. Why not? There are no laws against it! They are not subject to US laws, Iraqi laws, or even the military code of conduct.
Maybe they want more of the $$ action, since they see all the other corporations looting the American treasury, like Cheney''''s Haliburton, the Carlye Group and countless other politically connected sleazy War Profiteers.
This Horrific, Needless WAR OF AGGRESSION was all based on WMD and Saddam-link LIES. Deliberate LIES from Cheney, Rumsfeld, Tenet and even Bush (to the extent he even knows what is really going on). And this is a WAR CRIME, for which
BUSG and CHENEY belong in JAIL!!! - Reply to this comment
- I know of at least 2 deaths and several more injuries on motorcycles just in my area- Motorcycles are a toy and a dangerous one at that. Dentists and accountants with too much money and no sense. And now Mr. Hollywood.
Too bad I can''t afford to send a $40,000 chopper to O.J.- it might clear up the News programs for more Britanny updates! - Reply to this comment
