It appears that pointless beef-cake Fabio is still hung up about his little restaurant tiff with George Clooney.

Although the non-event took place some three months ago in November, Fab is still going on about how the actor narrowly avoided a beating for allegedly insulting a member of his party as they lunched in at L.A. eatery Madeo.

He tells the new issue of Details magazine: "He laid a hand on me, so it would have been self-defense if I had beaten him down."

It gets better.

Flabulous continues: "I could have f***ed him up. Oh my god, I could have beaten the s*** out of him. I was so pissed off."

"I could have knocked him over and beat him. I could have punched him in the face while he was on his back. That's how you really hurt someone."

That's it, hit a man when he's down - how brave!

Hopefully, Fabio's bruised ego will heal soon and he'll go away quietly.
