I love fun little stuff like this. Now you have to go through these and look out for them!
George Clooney and longtime girlfriend Elisabetta Canalissplit up, but no one may have been as surprised as Canalis herself!
One of the model’s close friends, Chi magazine editor Alfonso Signorini, opened up about the couple’s relationship and breakup.
“It’s all over. It has come as a real surprise to me. They were getting on really well.”
Just last week, the editor spent the day with Canalis and things appeared fine. “She must have had about 60 text messages from George! She was so excited about meeting him as he had a few days off from shooting his film in London,” he recalled.
As for the split, he revealed: “From what I know it was him who dumped her and she stormed out of the villa. I’ve tried to get her on the telephone but it’s switched off.”
Any woman would be a fool, thinking they could tame him.
George Clooney was named as a witness in the high-profile prostitution trial of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi on Tuesday. But no one was as surprised by the news as Clooney himself.
“It seems odd since I’ve only met Berlusconi once and that was in an attempt to get aid into Darfur,” he told the Associated Press in a statement.
Berlusconi is accused of paying a 17-year-old Moroccan girl called Ruby for sex and then trying to cover it up after the fact. He has denied the charges and his trial will begin on April 6.
Clooney, who owns a villa on Lake Como, Italy, was on the list of witnesses submitted to the court by Berlusconi’s defense lawyers. The Academy Award-winning actor is reportedly on the list because Ruby claims she saw the star and his Italian girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, at one of Berlusconi’s parties. Earlier this year, Canalis denied she and Clooney had ever attended a party thrown by Berlusconi
As George Clooney descends on Cincinnati, Ohio, this month to film a new movie, local fans have gone above and beyond to capture his, uh, beauty.
According to NBC affiliate WLWT, local artists at Studio Vertu have created a 4-foot-by-10-foot mural depicting Clooney as Adam in Michelangelo’s famous Sistine Chapel painting. Yep, Clooney’s head has been placed onto Adam’s body, sans clothes and reaching out to the hand of God.
And the mural, aptly titled ‘God’s Gift to Women,’ is not just hanging in a local art gallery. The image, which was printed on Italian marble tiles, is prominently displayed on a wall outside Grant Street Studio.
“This is our homage to George Clooney,” said Mark Schmidt with Studio Vertu. “We decided to have a little fun with it, roll out the red carpet in our own way.”
Though not much is left up to the imagination in the painting, the image of Clooney’s body is specifically cropped right at the waist.
“Well, I didn’t want to compliment him, or insult him,” Schmidt said.
Clooney is currently in town filming ‘The Ides of March.’ According to IMDB, the actor, who co-stars with Ryan Gosling and Marisa Tomei, also co-wrote the screenplay and is directing the film, which centers around dirty politics during a presidential campaign.
On Friday, George Clooney resolved to stay single, despite near-constant speculation about whether he’ll ever wed his Italian girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis.
Clooney, 49, appeared on CNN’s ‘Piers Morgan Tonight’ alongside his father, veteran journalist Nick Clooney. And according to Us, the Oscar winner’s dad said he “yearned for the moment” his famous son would tie the knot.
But Clooney made it clear: his married days are behind him. “I hate to blow your whole news story, but I was married, so I gave it a shot,” he said, referring to his 1989-’93 marriage to Talia Balsam, the actress who now playsNatalie Portman‘s mom in the new rom-com ‘No Strings Attached.’
On Morgan’s broadcast, Clooney said his failed stint as a spouse should have “proven how good I was at it.” (Balsam, who never apparently renounced marital bliss, is now the wife of ‘Mad Men’ star John Slattery.)
Canalis, for her part, has expressed profound contentment with the relationship. The 32-year-old beauty told ‘Vanity Fair’ last year, “I feel more embraced than ever before…Being so loved is overwhelming…George has given color back to my life.”
In addition to rejecting a future as anyone’s husband, Clooney also told Morgan he wasn’t cut out for politics. “Honestly, my job is as good as they get,” he said, “I think that I am best suited as an advocate for issues….And I look to people who are far smarter and far better at this than I am to lead.”
Clooney recently confirmed that while doing humanitarian work in Sudan this month, he contracted malaria. On Friday he joked, “I guess the mosquito in Juba looked at me and thought I was the bar.”
“Elisabetta had no idea he was going to say that,” a friend of the Italian beauty told Popeater. “She thought she was going to be the girl who would finally get George to settle down and put a ring on it. She was totally surprised.”
How could she be surprised, the ENTIRE world knows about Clooney’s vow of no marriage.
Stars needing a little PR jolt would be wise to follow Elisabetta Canalis‘ example: Flash a fake engagement ring. And wait.
George Clooney‘s other half set off a firestorm at a dinner in Italy when she held up her left hand and flaunted something resembling a giant, glittery rock.
TMZ quickly posted photos — couching them by saying the bauble only “looked like” a will-you-marry-me diamond.
Never mind. It was enough, and the press was off and running. Soon, headlines blaring “George Clooney Off the Market?” were everywhere. The Hollywood powerhouse’s rep was quick to shoot down the buzz, saying only that the bling on the Italian model’s finger was “a napkin ring” she was playing around with at the table. Yes. Bizarre. Read on for a history of not-quite-engagements.
Those in the thick of the celebrity-gossip fray muse that it was all done for publicity. After all, Canalis, 31, has been a guest star this summer on TNT’s ‘Leverage’ and has a new Italian comedy coming out this fall, ‘I Will Marry at Christmas.’ Clooney’s next film, ‘The American,’ is due in theaters in September.
“Clearly people are starting to use these faked rumors simply to keep [themselves] in the news and in everybody’s faces,” said Syracuse University pop culture guru Bob Thompson.
It’s not the first time the 49-year-old movie star and his girlfriend have been at the heart of engagement rumors — and the other kind, the ones about breaking up. In the spring, the tabloids were atwitter with news that the pair, who have been dating since August 2009, had split. The couple later quashed those rumblings, with Clooney joking wryly to reporters, “Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story.”
The famously stubborn bachelor, who was married eons ago, has said he would never take the plunge again because he’s afraid he’d “still make a lousy husband.” But a girl can dream, can’t she? Even if it’s with a silly old napkin ring?
Mind you, Clooney and Canalis are not the first Hollywood couple to generate a media blitz with bling buzz.
In July, Bret Michaels’ sometimes-girlfriend was seen wearing a proposal-style piece of jewelry. Michaels issued a statement denying they were about to walk down the aisle. “We’re not engaged. It’s a work in progress. What happened is she has a beautiful promise ring. A promise ring, a friendship ring with benefits.” Come again?
Leonardo DiCaprio’s girl, Bar Rafaeli, explained the engagement ring she wore on her left hand by saying her friend makes them, she likes to try them on and “they won’t fit any other finger except this one.” Talk about a quote that will leave you speechless. So far, her movie star boyfriend still hasn’t popped the question.
Last summer, Tyra Banks was spotted sporting something sparkly on her ring finger, fueling a fury about an impending marriage to boyfriend John Utendahl. Her people told the gossip mill: “Tyra is not engaged. It’s her high school ring, and she wears it almost every day.” The pair still have yet to wed.
Sometimes stars seen wearing diamonds deny they’re engaged and then get hitched in a secret wedding a few months later. (Think Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr.) Why do they do it? To throw off the press? To get publicity, then throw off the press? We can only speculate…
And there are those media haters, blast them, who accuse celebrity journalists of being desperate for a story, star-obsessed and quick to publish whatever gossip lands in their inboxes, true or false. To that, I say guilty, sort of guilty and not guilty. In that order.
Either way, we may be seeing Clooney and Canalis tying the knot in a hush-hush ceremony a couple months from now. Or we may keep reading the same rumors over and over again. But maybe, just maybe, hearing that Clooney is casting off his long-held bachelorhood will make us buy tickets to ‘The American.’

George Clooney‘s girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, has been involved in a cocaine scandal, reports say.
The young Italian beauty is said to be implicated in an Italian night club cocaine affair in which five people were arrested.
Reports from the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, say that two nightclubs in Milan, Italy, had been investigated since 2008 for claims that they were running a prostitution ring. In the clubs’ VIP areas cocaine was circulated among customers to increase the bill and to sell sex off premises, said prosecutor Frank Di Malo.
RadarOnline.com has stated that a source told them one of the witnesses testified that she did cocaine with many others at one of the clubs including Elisabetta Canalis.
26-year-old French model, Karima, testified that she ended up being one of the prostitutes at The Club and that in 2008 she did cocaine there with Canalis, 31.
Using Karima’s testimony, prosecutors were able to shut down the night clubs, arresting five people on July 26.
The two clubs, called Hollywood and The Club were regularly frequented by celebrities and referred to as “free zones” where cocaine was free for the VIP’s, who often saw themselves as above the law, Radar reports.
Celebrities and VIP’s were also offered cocaine by those who wanted to sit with them, for public image, “they want the visibility that comes from being seated at a central table, and to be seen with models, or celebrities from fashion, entertainment and sport.” A source explained to the Corriere.
No one really knew what was going on because they kept the VIP area hidden and protected from any onlookers or press.
So far, there has been no comment from Clooney or Canalis on the situation. The Italian model was not dating Clooney at the time of her alleged cocaine consumption at the implicated nightclub.
