Gawker's "Gawker Stalker" feature has been getting a lot of heat lately, especially since you can now see these celeb sightings on a handy map. Hollywood is starting to "fight back," if you will, and it's George Clooney who might lead that attack.

"There is a simple way to render these guys useless. Flood their web site with bogus sightings. Get your clients to get 10 friends to text in fake sightings of any number of stars. A couple hundred conflicting sightings and this web site is worthless."

Who knows if Clooney really said this (after that whole Huffington Post controversy), but a commentor brings up a good point: how do we know that the sightings they have up their now are even real? I'm sure some are real, but what kind of checking could anyone possibly do on something like this?

Update: It's real, and it might be working. Looks like some of Gawker's sighting have proven to be fake.
