"I'm the flavor of the month"

When George Clooney stated "I'm the taste of the month," he was likely referring to the truth that he was currently popular and sought-after in the show business. The expression "taste of the month" is typically used to explain something or someone that is currently stylish or highly popular, but may not necessarily have lasting appeal. Clooney may have been acknowledging that his present fame was momentary and that he would need to continue to strive to maintain his success. At the same time, Clooney's remark might be analyzed as a spirited nod to his own celebrity status and the in some cases fickle nature of the home entertainment world.
