   Jon Stewart and George Clooney film scene, share bed   
   Pair shoot "Brokeback Mountain" spoof for Oscars

   Blooming Grove - George Clooney and Jon Stewart may have had a "moment of   
   zen" in the Town of Blooming Grove yesterday.   
      
   Since Wednesday, Blooming Grove residents have gathered by the dozens on the   
   set of George Clooney's new movie, "Michael Clayton," to get an autograph or   
   have a picture taken with the actor. While they waited, rumors began   
   circulating that Stewart, host of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" and of   
   the upcoming Academy Awards, was going to make an appearance. But not in the   
   movie.   
      
   Here's what we know for sure:   
      
   A house near the one Clooney has been using was transformed from a crew   
   hangout to a "closed set" yesterday.   
      
   A bedroom in the house was being renovated by the crew.   
      
   A member of the crew approached the owner of the house to inform her that   
   "we have new sheets."   
      
   Here's what we've been told by unofficial sources:   
      
   The scene being shot will air during the Academy Awards on March 5.   
      
   The scene is a spoof on "Brokeback Mountain."   
      
   Here are some details from the lady who "shared her bed" with the two   
   actors:   
      
   "Jon Stewart and George Clooney made a skit in my bed and my bedroom ...   
   (that) will be on the Academy Awards," homeowner Doris Pinter says. She and   
   her husband, Joe, opened their home to crew members for four days this week.   
   Now they opened their bedroom door.   
      
   Pinter said about a dozen crew members tore apart her room, moved some   
   furniture and items off her dresser and took the door off the hinges to make   
   room for cameras. Everything was put back after the shoot.   
      
   "And they even remade my bed," she says.   
      
   She says Stewart, whose wife is a veterinarian, was very nice and fell in   
   love with her dog, an 18-month-old "pedigree mutt" named Ginger. Stewart   
   also mingled with the humans in the household.   
      
   "We had a group picture taken with him and he also did some autographs and   
   George signed an 'Ocean's 11' DVD," Pinter says. "They're very sociable   
   people."   
      
   She says the taping lasted an hour and a half. Then she had one last   
   request.   
      
   "I asked a member of the crew if I could have the sheets that Jon and George   
   laid on autographed and she said no because they needed them for another   
   skit," Pinter says.   
      
   At least she can say she slept in the same bed as George Clooney and Jon   
   Stewart.   
      
   Sweet dreams, Doris and Joe.
