George Clooney is definitely not a happy groom-to-be.

The actor is speaking out today after the Daily Mail who posted an article claiming that his fiancée's mother Baria Alamuddin was opposing the upcoming nuptials of Clooney to daughter Amal Alamuddin on religious grounds.

Clooney released a statement to USA Today accusing the tabloid of publishing the completely false story.

"I want to speak to the irresponsibility of Monday's Daily Mail report," Clooney writes. "I seldom respond to tabloids, unless it involves someone else and their safety or well being."

"The Daily Mail has printed a completely fabricated story about my fiancée's mother opposing our marriage for religious reasons," the actor continued. "It says that Amal's mother has been telling 'half of Belrut' that she's against the wedding. It says they joke about traditions in the Druze religion that end up with the death of the bride. Let me repeat that: the death of the bride."

He further discredits the site by saying, "None of the story is factually true. Amal's mother is not Druze. She has not been to Belrut since Amal and I have been dating, and she is in no way against the marriage."

He also claims that his problem isn't with the untruths published in the story, but rather the fact that the tabloid would dig up religious turmoil where none existed.

"The irresponsibility, in this day and age, to exploit religious differences where none exist, is at the very least negligent and more appropriately dangerous," the Ocean's Eleven actor states. "We have family members all over the world, and the idea that someone would inflame any part of that world for the sole reason of selling papers should be criminal."

Since it was published, the article has been picked up by hundreds of other news outlets including New York Daily News, Boston.com and Gulf News, further publicizing this lie.

His concludes by saying, "The Daily Mail, more than any other organization that calls itself news, has proved time and time again that facts make no difference in the articles they make up. When they put my family and friend in harm's way, they cross far beyond just a laughable tabloid and into the arena of inciting violence. They must be so very proud," he states sarcastically.

This is just one of the many lies that the news site has printed about Clooney and Amal including that she was three months pregnant and that they were getting married on the set of Downton Abbey.
