Clooney: 'Gerber incident never happened'

George Clooney isn't waiting for a court date to rage about sexual harassment allegations levelled at pal Rande Gerber - he insists the 2008 incident at the centre of the legal spat "never happened".

Clooney has been named as a witness by lawyers representing Cindy Crawford's husband, and he's already speaking out about the claims made by two waitresses, who allege they were fired from their jobs at a San Diego, California restaurant owned by Gerber, for ignoring his sexual advances.
