George Clooney has been immortalised in jelly beans.

A portrait of the 46-year-old actor - who is nominated for the Best Actor Oscar for his role in 'Michael Clayton' at the Academy Awards on Sunday (24.02.08) - was made using 10,000 sweets by the Jelly Belly Gourmet Beans Company.

The piece - which features Cotton Candy beans for George's cheeks and Buttered Popcorn candy for his highlighted hair - will be donated to a charity of George's choice later this week.

It will be displayed at the company's suite at Beverly Hills' Luxe Hotel until its donation.

It was recently revealed George spent $40,000 on a Valentine's Day (14.02.08) treat for girlfriend Sarah Larson, when he paid for the couple to spend the night in the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa in Las Vegas' Playboy Tower in the Palms Casino Resort.

The 9,000 sq ft Sky Villa features an indoor waterfall, a round rotating bed complete with mirrors on the ceiling, a swimming pool, plasma TVs, a massage room, exercise room, sauna, media room and two bedrooms.

Before heading back to their luxurious suite, George and Sarah, 28, went for a romantic meal at exclusive Las Vegas' restaurant Nove and watched the Cirque Du Soleil tribute show to the Beatles, 'Love', at the Mirage Hotel and Casino.
