Did you miss your invitation to George Clooney's party in Studio City when President Obama is arriving? Or maybe you just didn't have $40,000 in spare change laying around for a ticket.

So you're not one of the lucky 150 going to the party Thursday night, but above is the video of Clooney's house, and the best photos of Clooney in his Fryman Canyon home that Patch can find.

See the detailed video of a tour of his house above, and some secrets about his house.

Also check out this video of the house, CLICK HERE.

Here are some trivia items about his house too.

* There are multiple bars throughout the house.

* The house is 7,354-square-feet.

* Stevie Nicks used to live there during her Fleetwood Mac days.

* He has a mini theater and an authentic popcorn machine.

* The house abuts Fryman Canyon from Wilacre Park, one of the most hiked trails in Los Angeles.

* It is on 3.16 acres.

* The front of his refrigerator is glass.

* Clooney paid $2,827,500.

* Clooney bought the house in 1995, but lived in Studio City at a different address in the hills for year before that.

* It's not accessible to the street very easily because of a large gate out front, which prevents nosy neighbors and photographers.

* He and his famous friends play basketball there a lot. Will Obama shoot some hoops?

* He lives at the house with his girlfriend Stacey Keibler and rescue Cocker Spaniel dog Einstein.

* He used to have two potbellied pigs there, had a permit to have them, and they both lived long lives on the property.

* Says Clooney about his house: "A house is a place that you would live in, but a home is a place where your family and friends are a part of."

Only if you feel really strongly about it. I wouldn't be surprised that Stevie leans Democratic. Attending a fundraiser is pretty much her own business.

I don't think where she spends her money is your call or business.

Yup, said I

Still, when I have been to concerts, no matter the entertainer, and they take up their time talking politics, I don't wanna hear that; I didn't pay for that.

Amen. It's the last thing I want to hear

It doesn't surprise me at all that Stevie is likely a Democrat. I really can't imagine Stevie being against gay rights or against a woman's right to choose.

Thanks.I agree .My mom and my step father were teachers and I always remember them talking about the cuts in the funding of schools.Like said. its up to her how she spends her money.Its like my sister and friends beeching at me spending and wasting money on buying and traveling to see Stevie for about 6 concerts playing the same ole setlist at every show .I tell them mind you own bees wax.You guys probably hear it too from your family and friends .Hehehehe.Now If Stevie quits singing and run for office.I will reconsider and donate $1000 to her campaign.I hope she don't quit singing and go do politics like some other entertainers did.

I don't think Stevie went. I think her name just came up in relation to the house, so that may have confused someone into thinking she was in attendance.

I think it's great to support a candidate, any candidate, you believe in and $40,000 is worth it, if you have it to spend. It's just for some reason it didn't seem to me like the kind of thing Stevie would do. Seems out of character. I don't think she's frugal. I just can't imagine her spending that large a sum of money in that manner.

I agree Michele...I thought from the beginning that this was kinda weird; why the heck would she go? LOL...She goes to the Grammy's, The R & R Hall of Fame inductions, Big Parties when biggies in the music industry retire, etc., etc.

I feel the same way.

(p.s. registered Independent here)

I am sick of the high paid actors too that act like they are saints, wanting to help the poor and rooting for the working class. I read an article about things that will be obsolete in like 10-20 years and movie theaters were on the list. Because of the ease of movies on demand, but also because people are having trouble affording to go to the movies. How sad is that? And why is it so expensive? Because the movie costs so much to make, because they pay the actors 10 million, the directors and producers take a big chunk. So the cost comes down to us. So someone can make millions for less than a year's worth of work. But then these over-paid celebrities jump on the "spread the wealth" band wagon. Maybe settle for 1 million to make a movie so we can keep movie theaters alive. Can you imagine? Wouldn't you all be quite happy, thrilled, excited and satisfied beyond belief to make a million in less than a year? And let people afford going to the movies to support your craft, your passion, your career. If people can no longer afford it, your job goes bye bye. I don't understand how movies will make all their money if movie theaters become extinct. I am really surprised they are doing so well in this economy.

[Macfanforever]

Yes she goes to these Grammy's, The R & R Hall of Fame inductions and every year she gets stiffed by them coming out empty handed.Why bother going.I do agree on spread your wealth.I dont feel sorry about movie/music pirates screwing the industry except for the small people that make it happen for pennies.Spread the wealth stop hording the money.

I like one of the three. Not a good trio in my opinion.
