From Patchouli to Prada (Clooney’s “mystery” girl?)
FOREWARD:
*Broadcast Temporarily Interrrupted*
I can understand that some may have chosen to add malicious attacks and comments under this article but I don’t plan to respond to them, unless of course they are directed towards me and then…I might, because then it’s just funny. You may feel that my intentions in this article may have been dishonorable at best, but I wish no ill will towards anyone.
Sarah may have rubbed me the wrong way at times but I have no negative feelings towards her, believe it or not. I wasn’t going to come out here like Capt. Save-a-ho and write an article defending random attacks by strangers on the internet when I wrote it, but I was trying to humanize this rampant frenzy to search out her history and to stabilize it if I could. I tried to show her in the truthful light of someone that everyone could be familiar with. No need to turn her into a GOD or to turn her into a DEMON. She’s just a regular ass human, and guess what?….so is George Clooney.
If you are tremendously hurt or inspired by anything either of them do that is broadcasted through the media which paints them in either light, the only real problems that you have do not come from these people, who you will never likely come in contact with in real life, it comes for your own issues. There’s a show for that, it’s called Dr. Phil. Sorry they cancelled Lilith Fair.
I will not censor your comments, I am against that fully, but don’t expect me to feed into them either, positively or negatively. Maybe another mistake on my part is that I am failing to remove this article, but I do take great time and effort to compose my articles and thoughts and I view them as my own form of art. Words to me are something that I can form and something that I can create or express with, even if I can’t afford a $2,500 wacom tablet or expensive musical equipment. If you think my writing is shit…that’s cool. I think most film today is shit and most of the celebrities that people worship are talentless hacks. This is my forum which you are welcome to visit and comment on as you see fit. That’s all that it is; that and a forum for friends of mine whose views that I respect. I hope people are enjoying it. Maybe you’ll enjoy another article, maybe you don’t give a fuck. Either way thanks for visiting and I appreciate your time.
Now that I’ve said that, you are very welcome to continue
————————————————————
I woke up Saturday morning when my phone rang at 9:13 pacific standard time. It was a message from my friend KB Smooth texting me from Rhode Island. The message said “Sarah Larson is dating George Clooney…” I got up and went to my computer. I searched on line to find pictures of Sarah and Clooney at a celebrity coctail party in Venice for the release of his new film Michael Clayton, where they were hanging out with Spike Lee, Bill Murray, and Richard Gere. Everything else that I found on the internet about her dating Clooney, refers to her as a “mystery girl“. No one seems to know anything about her except her name and age (28) but they seem to be searching frantically. Some refer to her as a possible “Go-Go dancer” but without confirmation. I don’t understand the intense interest, but I can say one thing; she’s not much of a fucking mystery. I’ve known her since she was 10.
The main difference was that she had a side-pontytail when I met her 2 years prior. The photo above is from our 7th grade Junior High year book. You may be thinking, “Damn! That’s fucked up. I can’t believe you posted that photo on the internet.” If you have this year book, then you know that I don’t have room to talk shit because my picture is actually worse. Yeah, I know, it was 1991 and it was a long time ago. If you think about it though, what’s really fucked up is that, at the time when the picture was taken, George Clooney was already a suave 30 yr old adult man with sideburns who was playing Booker Brookes on Roseanne. That’s 2 years older than Sarah is right now. When I was 6 years old and pretending that I was StreetHawk, this cat actually got to appear on an episode. That same year he started his 2 year run on the Facts of Life for crissakes! If Alan Thicke wrote the theme song to a show that you were a major character on, then you’ve been around for a minute. Hell, he was even getting acting gigs before I was a fetus floating next to a dangerous IUD.It’s wierd seeing somebody that you’ve known for almost 20 years in photographs romantically linking them with an Oscar winner. Sarah and I have attended the same schools since elementary and all the way up through college. We even lived in the same house at one point. She dated a former bandmate of mine for 6 years and was my ex-girlfriend’s best friend for years as well. We’ve been on road trips. Now everyone is so fascinated with her. I know why the people who know her are, but the rest of you…what’s the deal? What the fuck do you really want to know? She’s just some broad from Kent, a town located between Seattle and Tacoma Washington. A town, when we were growing up there, that had something to prove. When people live in a suburb like that, they like nothing more than to go to parties, get drunk off of their parents shitty beer and punch eachother in the throat.
The same day I found out about her new popularity, my mom told me that she was on the cover of People magazine and, later on E!, she was shown in a brief clip. I had been at work all day, however, before I left I had emailed a couple of publications stating simply that I knew her. I got a response and I spoke on the phone a couple of times with one publication in particular. It was insane. I was just interested in the process at first but I started to get swept away with the whole situation. I held back with info trying to see what they would say to me and, basically, trying to read the British man on the other end of the line. It was a little shady right off the bat. I got questions like “Would you say she was a maneater?” and gave responses like, “Um…no, I wouldn’t say that she was a ‘man eater‘…” Eventually, after being awakened early on my day off with a phone call, I said that I wouldn’t link him up with an ex-boyfriend of hers unless I heard something solid instead of bullshit. I got a monetary offer and a contract was sent to my friend. I don’t like feeling like I’m on the other end of a hustle and, although money is nice, neither of us (the ex-boyfriend and I) were out to destroy or hurt anyone, so we basically both decided not to take the cash or to deal with them further. Plus, when you sign a contract like that, there is a clause where you can’t speak about your story to anyone for at least 3 months afterwards. That means that if they twist your shit around, which they will inevitably do, you can’t make a rebuttal anywhere else publically. Fuck it! It wasn’t enough to build my bronze statue in which I’m holding a giant lazer anyway. I’m spilling my guts here instead. In my own forum and in the appropriate context. I don’t really “hate” anyone, but I do know that all of this shit is going to be pouring out soon from one direction or another.
I lived in a house near Lake Meridian and Sarah lived about 3 houses away. Her family was nice enough and she was the oldest of 3 sisters. She also has a little brother and a step dad. Her mom had remarried after a divorce due to Sarah’s dad being gay and remarrying another man. It was actually very interesting because he had lived for a long time with the AIDS virus and, as I recall, scientists were interested in finding out why so that they could learn something more about the disease. I believe that he eventually died around 2002 or ’03. This should be the one thing, if anything, that should really draw some sympathy for her, but I don’t know how something like that is printed for a headline. It’s most likely in a shady manner, and I know that the tabloids are already aware of this to a certain degree because I was asked directly about it.
There is a post from a guy calling himself Pizza T on the internet, who not only calls himself a “hippy thug” but also claims that he dated Sarah for 6 years. Sites are wondering if it’s true because they haven’t been able to “confirm” it. Fuck, I’ll “confirm” it right now. It’s true. Their relationship started in High School. Our high school was fucked up too. You were either living in a country club, crazy ghetto broke and hood, or stuck being left in the middle like the rest of us. I was even supposed to walk at graduation with Sarah but, since the school hated me, I was barely allowed to walk at all. I walked by myself as the last student behind a kid in a wheel chair.
Sarah wasn’t rocking $3 million dollars worth of Bulgari jewels back then, she was wearing hemp necklaces, listening to the Grateful Dead, and attending Phish concerts. When I was 18 I got in my car with some friends, her boyfriend at the time included, and I travelled around California for about 3 months, scamming fast food, sleeping in my Datsun 510 with the fake Jaguar hood ornament, using psychedelics, and getting into free concerts. Sarah made a few trips down from Kent to see Tommy (Pizza T) visit, camp, etc. I wasn’t in a band with Tommy yet, but the majority of the people on the trip were. The band was called MUSIC and we would set up shows and they would play them in random towns we’d hit up on the trip. We were notorious for making offensive and/or low quality flyers to advertise. It was 1997 and quite a few such flyers that we made were contsructed from game pieces for contests at a fast food chain that I used to like to scam food from. The game pieces had photos of characters from a big movie that was out that summer. The movie was Batman and Robin starring, none other than George Clooney.
This photo of Sarah above is from that summer tour. It was taken at a spot called Whole in the Wall in Garberville, Ca where we had all slept that night. Some random middle aged naked guy showed up and decided to lounge out for a tan and we actually only took this picture of her so that we could snap him in it and remember that day. That brings me to a quick point. Sarah looks a lot tanner now and her hair isn’t blonde anymore, like it used to be. Another issue that it brings up is that, this was taken 10 years ago and I can’t seem to easily find any pictures of her that are more recent. She was there all of time but nobody seemed to feel the need to hold on to any pictures of her. Around this time I was closer to almost anyone else but her. I was a lot closer with her boyfriend and I actually met him through her. She, unfortunately, began to take on more of the role as someone’s girlfriend who complained a lot. The girl who, when everyone was hanging out and being dirty and happy and crazy and whatever else, seem to be bringing people down. We didn’t give a fuck about anything back then. It was a good time, in fact, it will always be one of the best times of my life. Things were new and exciting, but the metalic nagging shriek of, “TOMMY!” will always ring around like loose change in my memory bank. She was becoming a girl who’s bullshit and complaining sucked everyone into the drama of a relationship that they weren’t even in, through mere proximaty. This feeling continued pretty much until the last time I saw her which was years and years later.
Sure, we’ve kicked it by ourselves in more that one situation and gotten along alright, so I can definitely say that having a significant other there to fire off demands at played a part in lowering her social value, and that’s understandable. She has also played a mediator in a few situations of drama, but I wouldn’t say that was enough to cancel out the amount of drama that she had, at times, created herself. This is why I guarantee her past to unfold in no time. If you are one of the friends that was bitched about, or had to be approached by your friend on behalf of his girlfriend The 2 Coreys style, you have quite a bit of built up anger towards her. If you remember some of the specific drama you might be ready to blow.
Everyone knew she was prone to complaining and frustration, but when “Pizza T” arrived to school at Green River Community College one day after she had punched him in the face and left noticeable proof, it took it to another level. Obviously, he didn’t want to talk about it for too long at the time, it’s not the proudest moment you can have, but he did tell me what happened. She simply got upset about something trivial and punched him. Later, he called her out saying things like, “You fucking punched me in the head, Sarah!” It reminded me of Nanny 911 where things have gone too far and you can’t reverse time, all you can do is try to explain why what they did was excessive and wrong, all the while knowing that you can’t teach them why it’s wrong but can only help them learn that they can’t pull shit like that anymore. Later when we all moved to Olympia to attend The Evergreen State College shit escalated.
A bunch of us lived in a house on North St. across from a Masonic Lodge and down the street from the old Tumwater Brewery. It was a house where the rent was cheap because, otherwise, the owners would have had to pay to make it liveable for humans. There was a giant marijuana tapestry on the ceiling of the living room and from the street, you could see armed Marines in camo face-paint, which were cut from recruitment posters and taped in the windows like they were guarding the house. It was a shit hole and I slept on a couch that was always at least a little damp for some reason. A far cry from a Venice Coctail party. Sarah was always a little high maintenance for our crew, yet she lived in shitty places like this with us. She would talk with Tommy about how she wanted things in the house to be a certain way, or someone to move out, etc. etc. but she moved into a house that others lived in and tried to change it. Everyone else wanted her out because she would yell at everyone. General rule of thumb for anyone: If someone is not fucking you then they don’t have to put up with your shit. It got to the point where, if she ever even approached me with anything I would respond bluntly and firm to whatever she said, and make it clear that I wasn’t going to go into a conversation and listen to any of it. If I didn’t already agree, I don’t already agree, I don’t want anyone to try and work me over. She eventually moved out. She always needed everyone to tend to her and people weren’t getting sympathetic, they were getting pissed. Her powers didn’t work on me. She was just some chick I’d known for years and I was never attracted to her. She always kind of looked like a Gelfling to me anyway, but if she could work sympathy out of her looks she would have. You can’t really blame her, people adjust by what they are shown in through environments.
Sarah eventually rented a room in a house where one of our other good friends and former roommates had moved. There was a garage turned dance studio there. Sarah was still sewing up sundresses and trying to be earthy. She was studying an East Indian dance called Orisi which she would often bust out in the most innappropriate moments. Her “best friend” was my live-in girlfriend and we had our own place at that time. There were situations where I would reluctantly agree to go over to her place and have dinner. She would subtley put down my girlfriend in front of her and would always seem to try and show off her dance moves or body in some way. If I left the room to sit down, she would be in front of me in minutes shaking her hips and blocking my views/pathways. I wanted to put a gun to my dome in those situations. Sarah had made a few advances or inappropriate gestures towards me, even in front of the girlfriend and regardless of the fact that her boyfriend and I were friends. I became resentful in ways because, to me, it seemed like she could be very domineering towards my lady. I always felt that she would use her to make herself feel better. Her advances towards me may not have been necessarily “sexual”, but they were definitely innappropriate. I honestly believe that at the heart of everything was a need for focus and attention to be on her. I don’t think that she could even accept that someone loved someone else that was a good friend of hers, because the attention wasn’t all about her. It wasn’t about me or anyone else, I don’t think, I think it was about having the focus towards her at all times. If you disrespect someone that I love, I lose respect for you, it’s that simple. It’s quite possible that she had a lot going on, herself, that she didn’t verbalize within my earshot.
Sarah eventually hooked up with our former roommate of ours that she was living with in the new house now. Tommy found out and all hell broke loose, as you could imagine. They had been together for 6 years and it ended like that. At that point I was in a band with Pizza T and he would make all of his dramatic and drawn out phonecalls to her from my house. This was probably because I had more of a chill and welcoming environment to deal with such manners in than the chaotic environment he was living in. This was a bad time for me because, since Sarah was “best friends” with my girlfriend, she was always over as well. This drama eminated from my house and I didn’t want it there. I would often comment that I didn’t feel comfortable with her coming over anymore.
I’m still friends with the guy she wound up hooking up with, in fact. I haven’t even talked to Tommy in 2 years. We had a huge falling out which resulted in him blocking me from accessing our bands myspace page and posting bulletins and emails telling everyone (approx. 4,000 fans) that I had died of AIDS. Yeah, were are not friends, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not going to tell this story the way that I saw it. He got fucked over pretty hard and took it pretty hard. The guy she had transitioned to is the one that I’ve been talking with and who turned down offers to talk with publications. Interesting things are coming out from talks with everyone about this whole Clooney situation. The second boyfriend told me that he didn’t even know, until I just told him, that Sarah was still dating Tommy when they hooked up. I was catching the situation from all angles so I know that he sure as fuck thought they were. She said that they hadn’t been together for 3 months but I saw them together all of the time just prior. My girlfriend had seen them together regularly too, but she would relay bullshit like that to me from Sarah. “Well, she says they haven’t been together for 3 months.” Whatever. That’s a random things that some women decide. Don’t guess when you started dating ever! You started dating the minute that they decided that they wanted to in their own heads. Same thing when you break up. If they had decided at some point that they should break up with you and then find someone that they would rather fuck, it’s over and they “already told you“. It helps if they cut you off for a week or so first. That way they can always say that you knew about it. The logic is more than flawed, sure, but I can’t even say that she didn’t believe it. My girlfriend eventually went batshit psycho crazy and disappeared from our home one day. I should have seen it coming she used that same logic on me eventually. Another thing that they both did have in common as friends was that they were a little flighty. They hardcore believed in fairies and wanted to do shit like, “paint magic in the woods” or whatever other mystical bullshit they could think of. My ex-girlfriend once told me that she had actually left milk out for those fucking fairies and Sarah would tell me about transcending her physical body and travelling in spirit form around her house. Maybe they believe that they didn’t cheat on anyone. I don’t know maybe they didn’t. Maybe we don’t have the “magic potions” to see reality. Maybe, but I took the same “magic potions” that they did and probably more of it.
This was all around 2001. From a psychological standpoint, I would say the following. Sarah had been in a 6 year relationship and wanted to move out of it into something “new”. Tommy had the same issues, this was their only really serious relationship. The problems were that she didn’t have the integrity or sense to handle it correctly, from what I saw, and he was allowing it to continue and to be disrepected out of fear of the unknown without her. That’s what happens. It’s your first serious relationship. I got fucked over myself, it’s logical. Sometimes people actually don’t know how to hurt someone to theri face and make young, foolish decisions. Sarah‘s rude awakening happened when she thought that she could pull the same shit on the new guy and it didn’t fly. I know that she had lashed out and tried to strike him in the past too. He blocked it once and she hurt her self. She wasn’t always out punching everyone and being violent, but she was definitely known to trip and act a fool. She had become accustomed to having someone take whatever abuse she chose to dish out, and so she vented in that manner. He kicked her to the curb. The two guy’s became friends again and I saw Sarah out of default, until my girlfriend cooked us up lives as transient mental basketcases.
Last time that I saw Sarah was right after she hooked up with some goon named Dan Randolph. I met him twice, I think. I believe that they came into the Rang Dong once which, in it’s heyday, was the greatest Vietnamese Karaoke bar of all time. He didn’t seem to be very interesting or fitting. They moved to Vegas. Next I hear, she’s on Fear Factor shortly after. She actually wins after that guy basically carries her. Here’s where some debate comes into play. The Fear Factor site labels Sarah Larson as a “Go-Go dancer“. Pizza T‘s letter denies this claim, but it’s just wishful thinking. How would he know? Sorry but it’s true. If you don’t want to hear that and you believe that everything you’ve read on the internet is true, you can stop now. I died of AIDS 2 years ago, so who gives a shit about what I’m about to type anyway? A source I know who worked at the production company for Fear Factor told me that she was scouted Go-Go dancing. I was informed that they actually had to call her down off of a pole to offer her a spot on the show. The problem with tabloids and media is that it’s like the game of telephone. Go-go dancer can be changed very easily into a stripper when skewed. From there, that get’s morphed into hooker and eventually you are a crack whore murderer running a child-porn ring. Apparently, Cocktail waitress gets morphed into Actress/Model fairly easily too, because as far as anyone I know is informed, that’s a load of bullshit too. That’s why nobody can find anything on her, because they are typing in “actress/model” on their search engines, instead of “Random Chicks From Kent“.
With questions like, “Does she want to hide her background?” being asked by Hollywood, she’s becoming an enigma. I don’t know if she is trying to hide anything. I do know that she doesn’t look that comfortable in the pictures that I’ve seen. It’s got to be an overwhelming experience to have to absorb for someone. Maybe nobody has asked her anything. Last I heard she was supposed to marry that guy she was on Fear Factor with, but that obviously didn’t happen. She got a B.S. degree from Evergreen and then up and moved to Vegas. I’m not trying to attack or hurt anyone, but I’m not ashamed of my background and I’ve been in a mental health unit. Then again, I’m not trying to be a politician or a Hollywood darling. She’s just a girl who had occasionally displayed some selfish tendancies and became clearly too high maintenance for the crowd she was involved with. Maybe she felt that she wanted to get “somewhere” even if she didn’t know where that place was. Maybe all that she knew was that her current environments weren’t gong to nurture that. Most likely, she didn’t really piece it together all that in depth, but rather just reacted. She didn’t have a severe drug addiction, or drown a baby. It’s not that interesting. What’s interesting to me is that she went from E to E!, from Patchouli to Prada, from Orisi to Go-go….actually, her Orisi always had quite a bit of Go-Go in it. I say, “Good luck in the game?” I personally would represent where I came from and maybe she will. If I was in her position, I wouldn’t be worrying about how mysterious I might appear to the public. At this point, especially with such drastic transitions, I would be wondering about if I was still a mystery to myself. Your background only has an effect of you if you want something specific to happen. If you are a gangster rapper, the public finding out that you haven’t offed anyone can actually fuck up your career, but, like the slogan for the new Clooney film Michael Clayton states “The Truth Can Be Adjusted“. If anyone knows that, it’s the media.

George’s acceptance speech…
http://www.clooneystudio.com/statements/peacesummitaward_acceptancespeech.html
Julie/Anon2 I’m sorry you feel that way.
Brie- Of course they have to go out with his bodyguard. GC has to be aware of the crazies, even well known ones like Fabio who bother him all the time. He wants himself and Sarah to be safe always. He loves her and protects her.
In the new pics today from the award ceremony, it was so sweet how they held hands and he put his hand on her knee while they listened to the speakers. He is really in love with her and she him. When you find your soulmate, like they have by finding each other, it is a reunion of souls and a beautiful thing. I would post the link to the pic, but dead c said he’d rather we didn’t post links so I won’t. But just search on google news and you’ll see it. I bet he gave her a kiss before he went on stage, I will be looking out for the news video to see if I”m right.
Did you guys read his acceptance speach for the award? It’s pretty fucking awesome. It changed my perception of him in his involvement in this.
http://www.clooneystudio.com/statements/peacesummitaward_acceptancespeech.html
And Sarah is looking better all the time. Money can do wonders for a girls hair and wardrobe. How awesome would it be if this thing lasted? I might even grow to like her…
anon2 –
You have me curious – I do have to ask – why are you following Molly’s (or whoever’s movements) for more than 7 years?!
Who’s “we’ve” had people in the past etc. etc. etc.
Julie: Actually I’m now one of the “believers” that their relationship is real. They’ve been together almost daily for close to 5 months. George doesn’t seem to be the kind of person who would be with someone this publicly for so long without having real feelings for her. Maybe it was never a p.r. stunt. He just found someone he liked being with…
Roman Holiday–
I don’t believe that I ever requested for people not to submit links. Feel free to post them if you like, everybody else does
Anon2–
You don’t have to be super skilled with the internet to track the IP addresses. Those are automatically generated for my viewing when a comment is posted along with the email and Molly’s IP addresses are different as well from the other posts.
Julie –
“what about the huge bouqet of roses gc bought sl from a street vendor on the way back to their hotel? ”
Have a look at this video – he didn’t buy her any flowers. The street vendor was trying to flog them to him and he rejected them, in return, he gave the vendor money.

Roman Holiday –
So which rock did you crawl out from under? :-)
That would be because it’s your blog DeadC. When it isn’t your own, it becomes a whole lot trickier to trace. But whatever, believe what you will. This lady has been at this a long time and has been confronted many times before. The fact that she’s become more proficient about covering her tracks is immaterial. As for the length of time, well there are many GC fans who have been around longer than both us, nothing particularly intriguing about it. I really have nothing more to add anyway.
WB that wasn’t nice to say about Roman Holiday. I thought the postings were so sweet. Let Roman holiday have their fantasy – everyone is entitled to dream!
Just because Roman H. was pushed in a well by the evil witch, oh, I mean queen, floated thru the cosmos with sparkles all around and then popped up here is no reason to be nasty.
George could be in love with Sarah! Sarah could be in love with George. They could talk about really important things at dinner. He could have bought her flowers – that fact that’s she’s probably allergic had nothing to do with him not taking the precious buds with them. Maybe they just didn’t have a vase in the hotel room. Not something I’d normally carry in my travel bag, you know.
If Roman wants to next break out into song and talk to a chipmunk, hey let um.
Gosh, I feel like cleaning the toilet right now. Anybody got a cockroach or two hanging around?
Some of you are now saying, “WTF” is going on with just wanna. And some of your are rolling on the floor right now. To those of you on the floor – thank you for getting me. You like me, you really like me! :-)
WB: I passed on someone else’s misinformation then (they posted a photo that showed what appeared to be GC buying them). Nice video. I see Stan the Man is in tow.
No roses were bought. They were peddled at him to which he gave the woman vendor some money to go away. This isn’t romance in the least. He will find his true soulmate in time if he so stubbornly would let go of his security blanket. That’s just my two cents.
LOL!
Roman holiday – your thoughts on justwannapokemyeyesout’s post?
justwannapokemyeyesout – yes, your post had me literally laughing outloud!
How come none of you have noticed SL apparent nose job. Compare the photo from middle school to recent pics & it is very obvious she has had work done.
Yeah, awsome speech but he forgot to mention all the people (activists, journalists, etcc.) who have worked and are working in Darfur every day and risking their lives everyday. Yes, he mentioned them a few times, but at the big ceremonies with photos almost all the celebrities involved in humanitarian work forgot to mention all the people who have worked on the issue.
Pity!
JUST WANNA IS MOLLY, FOLKS. she just gave herself away with a catchphrase she used with anon. talk about an attention whore.
molly on 9:22:08 “You like me, you really like me.”
‘just wanna’ on 08:59:35 “You like me, you really like me.”
And no, this is not a coincidence.
Besides, only a failed screenwriter would find it ‘cute’ to write the above to Roman Holiday…mangled metphors and all.
Hmm…so Hollywood Insider was right.
WB- I didn’t crawl out from any rock, I don’t know what you mean, but thanks for asking for my opinion. : )
Justwanna pokemyeyesout-very funny you must think I’m not smart enough to know you are refering to the new movie “Enchanted,” but guess what, I knew what you were talking about. Maybe George didn’t actually buy those flowers for Sarah bc there are already too many roses in their luxury hotel room, even in the bathroom where he probably fixes Sarah her bubble baths every night?
How come you don’t believe in true love? I’m sure you are a good person underneath it all and if you met someone like Sarah you would believe too. I even saw a video where he hollared at a photographer who was getting to close to Sarah, and George told him to be careful because he wanted to hold her hand again.
He doesn’t call just anyone his girlfriend so this is different. It’s an important step, I”m sure they will be spending the holidays together and meeting each other’s families if they haven’t already.
Justwannapokemyeyesout, I think it would be helpful if you got a little Christmas spirit…
The 9 girls promotion team doesn’t exist anymore.
If you notice in the video, he calls SL his girlfriend. I guess it’s official, he said it. We will see if the March break up happens. George really looks hot walking around in Europe. SL is looking better herself, must be the new European makeover. Somehow I think I would be very happy cruising around Rome with George. Y are they in Europe? Are they promoting Leatherheads?
Hello to you all. I don’t know how, but I found this page exploring the net for a personal research about American Celebrity (I’m working into show business) and I have to say… wow, well done! I’ve had a lot of fun, here J
I’m from Italy (not from the Lake Como part) so I’m sorry for my English.
First I’d like to say that a lot of people, here in Italy, don’t love Mr. Clooney. Maybe it’s because we are tired of foreigners people who don’t like for real our Country but they stay here for fiscal facilitations or because they sometimes just want to run away from their troubles.
It’s hard to believe that in the US nobody can see how weird is all the stuff in Internet about GC covered homosexuality (…it’s the right word for?) or all the bizarre women he prefers, or his bad or just irritable behaviour.
I used to love him for his work, not so much good movies but as a director he has sensibility and he is very professional.
Now I’m starting to think he is a real player in the real life, on in every business he get involved.
Mr. Clooney says he’s riding the left wing, politically I mean, but he owns a 8/10? millions euros house, here. He decided to live in the Italian Lake area, you can call it the V.I.P. zone, where snobbish and very wealthy people live without any perception of being in Italy is.
He says he likes Italy, our culture and all the other things, but he had been living here for 4/5 years and knows just a few words in Italian, like “Ciao, come stai?” and two or three stupid jokes and nothing else.
That’s not “living” in a country, it’s called “use a place for my personal satisfaction”.
Other great American Actors, like Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins (did I write the right celebs?) are on the left wing too but they are regular people, they live out of any gossip and maybe out of LA, I don’t know it, I just suppose.
During the Cannes Festival, or another Festival I don’t remember, Mr. Clooney has hardly criticized a woman journalist who simply asked him why he’s doing commercials for Nescafè, a well known multinational with a lot of legal actions against it for bad industrial business in Africa. He just couldn’t answer the question, because he’s got a lot of money from the same industry.
He says he’s interested about that poor people in Darfur, but he slams his own Country, talking not so good about your Government political choices (even though maybe you have a lot of problems, my opinion is that nobody with his power and celebrity and his position should criticize the Government or your President or someone else)
He says he hates paparazzi, but he is always ready to allow them to get pictures of him and her g/f when it needs PR or publicity.
He’s going out for dinner or riding his bike showing himself every day or every night, he’s paying (it’s my opinion, now) a woman, and all that wonderful and expensive stuff for her.
He’s usually drunk, as I can read from the American websites (you could write me if it’s true) and now he is going around in Dubai, and unfortunately here in Italy, with a “whore” (I think we can write the word) on his arm. I don’t know how is gonna happen, if it’s real or all this stuff, the relationship, it’s fake. It’s not my business, but I have to say that I’ve lost every interest in THIS man’s business, and I’m so sorry to say this, in his work too.
I’m really really disappointed that a lot people in your country even love him so much. We have a lot of problems here in Italy, but we can still recognize hypocrisy and Mr. Clooney is starting now to being annoyed and nasty, and not honest with his fans too. It’s not a good thing.
And now maybe he’s going to get another major award, and a lot of awards about his “work” for saving the world. Unbelievable. But this is life! Or show business…
I’m so sick about this stuff that I am going to put my opinion in every GC’s forum, if it’s allowed to do that.
Hope read something really positive and authentic about Mr. Clooney very soon
Regards from Italy and sorry for my long post.
Angela
…and sorry again for my double long post
your sentmail page wrote to me I was in ERROR STATE! Maybe this link is under control…
after all, I’m Italian :-)))
Regards
Sorry Julie, Molly is Molly. I’m just wanna – a totally different person which I’m sure DeadC can attest to by the IP address I send from.
And the last time I checked my DL my name wasn’t Sybil! LOL But I do take offense to being called an attention whore. Wipe the foam out of your mouth sis and get a grip. Not every post here is directed at you or is about you. And if I count the number of posts you’ve made here vs mine, I think the attention whore might just be YOU.
But what does it really matter anyway?
I thought this was all about George and Sarah. Who cares who posts here? Why the constant accusations that only one or two people are posting multiple times under different names? I don’t care who posts here, why do you? Please don’t tell me to get a life either. You’re here too.
If someone makes a statement or expresses an opinion that I wish to comment on or they comment on something I’ve said and I decide to respond that’s okay with me.
I don’t care that you post, I don’t care that you want to continue the incessant and, quite frankly, boring bickering with Molly. It’s all just a matter of time before none of this will be of any relevance.
Take a chill pill honey or get some hot cocoa and put your feet up ’cause now you’re just starting to sound paranoid.
Me, I’m just entertaining myself and the few others who get my sense of humor.
Thanks to those of you who are keeping it real. Most of my life I have soaked in the garbage that has been fed to me through the media, politicians, celebrites, etc. I think part of it was complacency and another was the environment in which I was reared. I’ve been tired of it all for a while now, and it’s so gratifying to me to see that more people are fed up as well.
I can’t stand the celebrity t.v. programs that beat the the average person over the head with the message that he or she isn’t good enough because they don’t look like the so-called world beauty or the sexiest man alive. It’s a business and a huge scam. Any entity that is trying to sell something is pimping the scam, imo. It’s terrible to make society feel terrible about itself inorder to sell the latest fad diet, fashion trend, or lipstick.
They can all pucker up and kiss my back side because how many of those world beauties have had alterations by some plastic surgeon? It’s fake, all of it.
And so I want to know the real deal, and if that includes outting GC, then so be it. It’ll probably benefit him in the long run. If he likes the low-rent types then so be it, and stop fronting. He’s got talent and should just go for it (making films).
BUT He doesn’t look well at all. And either he’s been photographed (in the not too distant past) in very, very flattering angles and light, or he has aged considerably in the last year or so…maybe even months. A part of me wants to believe that he is a good guy and not all of it was manufactured, and for that I am sad. He once looked like that guy who take a hit and land on his feet. Now he looks defeated and SL looks like she’s the one who will come out unscathed. She looks like she has the upper hand.
Anyway,
DeadC: The blog that started this whole thing off is an eyeful. I appreciate a reality check.
“Insiders”: Expose the machine. Keep it real.
Anon: You posted something in Oct. about American actors and men. It’s funny because I was discussing the same thing (American men) yesterday. And I compared them to the Aussies. Right on, sista! But I can’t help but think that it’s a result of the politicial correctness pendulum swinging to far in one direction.
Peace Out
that’s okay just wanna. i don’t believe you for a nanosecond. and a different IP address means zip. ‘boring’ ‘you like me, you really like me’ — sorry, those are Molly phrases. you just didn’t think it through and now you’re busted.
they are a damn good looking couple! I wish them lots of happiness!
Julie our posts crossed moderation. Excuse me for quoting Sally Field. But many people quote that line, it’s truly famous – or maybe infamous is a better word. I didn’t even realize Molly had used it – of course, I don’t go back scanning post after post like you seemed to have done, looking for tidbits of info that might give some credence to what you want to put out there as THE TRUTH. I have to capitalize that because I realize that’s how you see it. “Julie says it then it is THE TRUTH, so help me god.” And why someone would think I’m a frustrated screenwriter is beyond me. I guess I’ll take that part as a compliment – mangled metaphors and all. But like I say, chill hon, it will all be over very soon.
Roman – glad you got the Enchanted stuff. I just couldn’t resist. I got on a roll and couldn’t help myself. I do have to say, I didn’t look at the youtube flower stuff. But just one little question, if George truly loved her and wanted to make sure everyone knew it, don’t you think it WOULD have been a very open and romantic gesture for him to take the flowers and give them to her? I mean, someone here said the video shows he paid the vendor anyway. Why not truly show the world how much you love this gal by giving her the flowers in public? It would have been sweet and gallant and might have put an end to some of the doubts about the true nature of their relationship.
Angela, don’t apologize for your long post – you had a lot of things to say and you were were passionate about it – your English is pretty good by the way! :-)
I have to agree with your estimation of Mr. Clooney. I realize no one is perfect. I freely admit I have many imperfections, but my biggest problem with him is the two sides that just don’t meld into an honest person.
His personal life (and the perceptions of his personal choices) makes it difficult for me to continue to respect what he does and is trying to do in his public life. And I have truly strived to respect what he is trying to do without looking at his personal life, but what he used to keep private he is now flaunting and I do take offense to it. What I mean is that George has dated a certain type of woman in the past in between just regular gals. But for the most part, those non-regular gals he has kept very private about. Now though, he’s expecting us to accept and continue to respect him. You can’t have it both ways though.
Your comments about where he lives (in the very rich Lake Como area) and how he speaks of Italy are interesting. I never thought of where he lives that way and how it would be perceived by people in your country. Thanks for the insight.
Some others here have noted that there are people, aide workers and journalists, etc. who are in Darfur day after day, putting their lives in danger. So I have to agree that there are many people who are doing much more than George is doing for the people of Darfur. But at the very least, what he can do, which is bring media attention to him with him there he mangles.
Roman says I don’t have a heart. You are very wrong there. It’s because I do have a heart that this bothers me so much. Do you think I am so heartless that I would not be haunted by the pictures of people who at times you can see are trying to make the best of a horrific situation but just can’t?
I try to put myself in their shoes and find there is no way I can ever truly say I know how they feel, because I don’t. I have never been in such a situation. The indignities they face on a daily basis must be brutal and yet some of the film I have seen still shows children being able to smile. It breaks my heart that anyone would have to endure losing their homes, their lands and loved ones. It angers me that men and women are being tortured and killed and the government (and even it seems, the world) looks the other way.
I know at times that I feel overwhelmed by the enormity of the problem – not just in Darfur – but also in other countries where people work hard every day just to exist. For instance, I think about all the water we waste here in the US and even in my day to day activities, every time I pour water down the drain I always think – someone in Africa or India could have used that water and I feel guilty. I have tried to be better at conservation but I know I have a long way to go as do many of my countrymen.
But my issue is what voice speaks for the people of Darfur? Is it a voice of someone who is universally respected, not only for what they are trying to do publicly but also because they show, by example, that privately they are also persons of honor? No, we have an actor who has made some films that have social commentary of merit, but who continues to be vilified for his personal practices.
There is a saying which in different countries varies in actual words but the meaning is the same: Show me who you walk with and I’ll show you who you are. I think a variation is: Show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are.
Same thing. Some of George’s choices of friends taint his efforts; some of his professional choices also taint his efforts.
As to his Nepresso issues, I have heard that his endorsement of that company’s product (because of the parent company) is something that has many people angry with him. Again, a personal choice, in this case whose product he promotes, and he is questioned.
For someone who comes across as intelligent in many areas his choices to stroke his libido make him look stupid. His choices of promotion make him look as if he is only concerned with the money he could earn and not about the people whose lives are adversely affected by the company he chooses to endorse. At the very least, he should be doing some research on a company before he accepts a contract with them. Hell, all you have to do is goggle the name and everything that is going on with a company, good and bad will show up.
But maybe it is we who have the real problem. Our problem was to have had such high expectation of him in the first place. So I suppose we should just expect to be disappointed.
George likes to describe himself as “the son of a journalist.” I’ve always associated true journalists (the ones you can respect not the tabloid hacks) as people who seek the truth and report it. And my expectation is that the truth is coming from the mouth of someone with integrity.
I find a man who repeatedly dates women who have questionable occupations or who has made questionable choices in his personal life, someone then whose integrity I would question. And that’s my basic issue with George.
There are some on here that are purposely being obtuse when it comes to George. I choose not to be one of those people. Yes, he has entertained me in some of his films. Yes, he has made some films that have had social commentary of merit. But some of his choices have led me to question who he truly is. And if I’m questioning, then how many more are doing the same? And is that what any of us should be doing when he’s trying to get us to focus on Darfur?
People are dying in Darfur and as long as he continues to try to be a voice for them, then perhaps George should be reminded that all the good he is attempting to do can be wiped away in an instant by questionable personal choices.
susan — wrong! gc could not have been more humble in his acceptance speech. he did quite the OPPOSITE of taking all the glory for himself. perhaps you need to listen to it again.
Promoting a movie by having George parade a “new flame” around is plain stupid. It’s ridiculous. Shouldn’t this whole thing have been taken more seriously? George cares about what he does, why risk it?
Anyone who flashes their goodies while pantiless is nasty. Don’t blame someones who finds it tasteless. The person who exposes their stuff knew what they were doing. There are plenty of people who live in the real world that think that type of behavior is sleazy and whorish. The people I talk to think Brittany had become a joke.
Julie take something, really, you are starting to sound more paranoid with each post. “Its Molly, you are all Molly, I can tell, the voices tell me you are all Molly, I can read between the lines” LOL I bet you dream about me. You need to believe its one person, you cant handle the truth, and I am really, really sorry you feel that way.
I haven’t commented too much on this site, however I check in daily and love the banter and everyone’s comments.
I have to say, I do not think Sarah appears to be into the whole celebrity “bling” thing. Yes, she had on expensive boots, but all in all I think her appearance is pretty understated-no oversized bling, etc. Also, I do not think she has had a makeover since meeting GC. If you look at her pictures from when she worked in Vegas, she does not look too much different.
Also, IMHO, if you look at most photographs of GC and SL, it appears that GC
is more “into” SL, than she is to him. He is usually being touch, feely with her!
Maybe this time, it will be GC who ends up with the broken heart??
JustWanna/Molly – Anyone who takes as much time as you just did to psychoanalyze someone you do not even know seems to me to be a ‘tad off in the ‘ead’. GC and SL, either together or alone, will do just fine with or without your approval of their personal choices. You and Angela do not have a villa in Lake Como not because you are proles, but because you cannot afford it. And it’s easier to tear down someone who is privileged, such as GC, than to admit that you lost out in the game called life. I have known extremely wealthy people who are true assholes, and GC is not one of them. And the roses? Um, the hotel suite costs about 6 grand a night. I’ll wager that SL is quite happy, and that flowers come with the room. Not to mention champagne!! She is having the time of her life and there is not one thing you can do about it. Yeah!!!!
Well Julie, I’m going to respond to you this final time.
If you had something to say about the content of my posts; if you wanted to get into a discussion about Darfur or other topics of substance then I would have had more respect for you. But since you’ve determined that your only function here is to doggedly defend George and irritate other posters, I’ll leave you to it.
I learned long ago not to get into a battle of wits with someone who has no ammunition. Yea, I probably stole that saying from Molly too. You have a nice life.
Well…
The past is done..the present is time to enjoy for a better and tasty futur…
Some peoples here are just like a herd of donkeys which sneer or like mouths of old musty ladies….
GC take his responsibilities faced with his professional , personnal and loving choice.
GC show precisely example by being able of seeing the qualities of his girlfriend instead of ruminating upon some reckless adventures of her past…
Yes, pricesly, people dying in Darfour…
And I really don’t beleived that clever people are going to focus on few details and asumption over a short period of SL private life during 2005 instead of appreciating the involvement of GC in the Darfour tragedy….
This is a new chapter for SL life and I feel very happy for her and for them.

Charly/Charlie
Julie – I’m sorry you’re buying into Anon2’s paranoid and inventive assertions that I’m one of Molly’s “personalities.” Anon2’s posts just prove that you can’t believe everything you read on the Internet.
As far as someone else’s guess as to whom I’ve slept with – NO, not Charlie Sheen. LOL. And you CAN believe that. :)
JUlie,
any references to humanitarian workers at his speech? any reference to his father who has work with and without him to raise awareness on Darfur’s issue?
“But maybe it is we who have the real problem. Our problem was to have had such high expectation of him in the first place. So I suppose we should just expect to be disappointed.”
Justwannapokemyeyesout,
Thank you, in three short sentences, I think you may have summed up what is at the root of pretty much every single post on every article, discussion board and random blog over the past five months. Behind all the celebrity and the PR, he’s just an ordinary, flawed individual who’s spent too much time trying to be all things to all people, and the effort has become too much.
Hi to everyone. Obviously, the multinational in my post was Nestlè, not Nescafè… it was 9.00 pm after a hard day work when I wrote the message, maybe I needed a Nespresso… :-)
I’d like to answer to Julie. Please Julie don’t write about people you even don’t know personally. I live near Florence, in a wonderful place, an ancient house on the top of a mountain. I have a wonderful life and a job I love. I wouldn’t change my life with anybody. Guess who used to live only 2 miles far from my house: Sting, the singer, before he went to another part of Tuscany and bought a house there.
The difference between Sting and GC is that Sting during his vacations here has lived “into” our culture and our way of life, meeting normal people and sharing with them his private time, having dinner with them. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think GC would love to share his private time with you or me or any normal type of ordinary folks, even though we are the best people to share emotions with ;-)
He likes to live in the top of the world, surrounded by famous, rich and important “friends”? Well, why not? Good for him.
I’m not blaming Mr. Clooney, he can be as he wants and he can sleep with bad girls he likes to pay or sleep with good girls, as I said I don’t care. Hope he’s not going to hurt anyone, including his new “girlfriend”. Smart and famous player men can be so dangerous, sometimes.
On my post I wrote just the true, as you can see if you are working in the show business or read everywhere on American tabloids or National newspapers, not in the American “rotten” gossip. From my part, I wrote what he does and in what kind of “only for snob” area he lives when he is in Italy and you have to trust me, because I AM INTO the topics I wrote about.
I’m just saying Mr. Clooney is fake, in some sides of his life. I’m not offending anyone, he’s just not plain as he wants to show to us. No problems to repeat all my feelings right on his face if I’m going to meet him one day and it’s not so difficult for me here, because of my job (first assistant director).
I know personally a lot of celebs and yes many of them are a..holes, many of them are regular people, but they are human being and they are deeply wrong, sometimes. I think someone here should admit that. Maybe someone here simply don’t admit the truth.
I wrote on this post nothing but my feelings and other part of Italian people feelings. Please accept that, this post is really interesting, give the opportunity to every people to get in your clever “joke”.
Angela…I just wanted to say hi, my family comes from Bologna, I don’t know if that is near you. It is interesting to learn that someone like George who says how much he loves Italy has failed to learn such a beautiful language. And I also agree that he is wrong about how he puts this country down. He truly doesn’t know what it is like to live in another country among the people the same way they live. If he did he would not keep complaining about the life he has here in America. I was born and raised military, and I was taught to respect the flag and this country. He is a celebrity and will always get respect from most countries that a normal outsider would not get. Let’s see how he would feel if he was bombed continously, it is scary.
Angela… compared to my Italian, your English is great, I am still learning. abbia a giorno meraviglioso
To anyone on here in Italy – have there been any pictures or mention of George’s parents at the award ceremony?
I don’t recall anyone commenting that they saw a picture of them. Doesn’t he normally invite them to events such as this? They were with him when he addressed the UN. They go to all of his premieres, with or without any current girlfriends. I know they were in New York for Michael Clayton.
I just find it strange that they have not been mentioned. Or is it that I missed that?
Hollywood Insider: What I am sure of is that JustWanna and Molly are the same posters. I haven’t seen anything that would lead me to think you are lumped in that group as well. My opinions do not mirror anon2’s exactly, but I do think he/she knows what she is talking about, and that at least some of the allegations of fake postings are true.
Charly: Thank you for the Hola pic. It could not be clearer that these two (GC and SL) seem to be a pretty good match.
JustWanna/Molly: I stand by what I said. You? A converation about Darfur? You must be kidding, right? Because I’ve read all your posts, and there is nothing of substance in them. At all. What they are filled with is self-congratulatory asides (aren’t I wonderful), and a lot of nonsense about GC’s personal choices and how they upset you. Maybe you find this kind of nonsense interesting, important, and useful. I don’t.
Btw, no way is Angela (who claims not to know English very well), actually writing from Italy either. She wrote a very long post IN ENGLISH and did not make THAT many mistakes. I’ve seen worse written by those who are native English speakers! Another totally fraudulent post, from someone who is trying to add to the GC bashing by making it seem this is what Italians think of GC too. Yeah, sure, that’s why Michael Clayton grossed far more in Italy that in other countries in Europe. Because they hate GC. Get a life.
JustWanna/Molly: If you are going to quote Sally Field, get it right. Here’s what she said…
Sally Field, Best Actress for “Places in the Heart,” after having won in 1980 for “Norma Rae”: “I haven’t had an orthodox career, and I’ve wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn’t feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can’t deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!” (1985
Hollywood Insider: All current delusions on this board aside (LOL), what did you think of the strategic ‘hand on lap in front of photographers at solemn ceremony’ move? ROTF. Tacky, tasteless, but I guess in his mind, effective.
Thanks!
Maybe SL isn’t in to all of the bling. But hasn’t she been wearing designer clothes? It doesn’t look like she’s always wearing something off the rack. Btw, that dress (multiply colors/patterned) she wore to the awards deal is ugly. It would look ugly on anyone. George should get a new stylist.
If George wants a bubbly girl. He got one ’cause she’s the one doing the smiling in most of their pictures together. Shouldn’t a bubbly person infect others around them? I’ve never seen George look this miserable. No matter how you felt about STFU, it does look like George is a puppet. Who is the master? I don’t know. But there is something weird about George these days.
Aren’t those Vegas party girls paid to be bubbly and upbeat?
Imo, this ain’t no fairytale romance and for those who want to sugar things up…you’re either delusional or playing the game.
Peace Out
Hollywood Insider: John Cusack, Patrick Dempsey, The Rock, Jack Nicholson (who hasn’t slep w/him? :-) ) ??
Molly, everyone makes enemies at some point, so why shouldn’t George be any different? Although, George has such a rep as a nice guy, I never considered (or maybe I didn’t care) that he might not be liked by some in the industry. And there are folks out there who are gonna hate you no matter what. Keep posting, girl, and don’t waste your time on the haters.
Anon (or whoever you are), thanks for you childish tale about some “fat” girl, and you made it a point to let us all know she was fat, who allegedly told GC that she is his soulmate, and that he and his friends had a laugh at her expense. It’s another chink in the “mighty one’s” armour. And what makes George and his friends so desirable? What makes them so special? From what I understand there aren’t very many of them that can sustain a marriage, so, what’s the big deal?
Angela, love your post. There isn’t anything that I disagree with. Can’t say that I appreciate when celebrities, or anyone, for that matter, goes to another country and criticizes America. But especially American celebrities because it is the place that make them successful and rich. It’s the arrogance. Have the balls to stand in front of the White House and say what you’ve got to say. I’m starting to see American Celebrity and priviledged as the French Aristocracy of old. I really could care less if the movie/entertainment industry ceases to exist. These people are not better than anyone else, although many of them seem to think they are. I was born and raised and grew up in LA, and the rich there, probably like anywhere else, think they’re better. I purposely ignore celebrites when I see them. I’m not going to increase the head size any more than it is.
Peace Out
Obviously, when I say every article, discussion board and random blog, I meant every [b]George Clooney/Sarah Larson[/b] article, discussion board and random blog!
Also, DeadC, this is as fascinating a social history document and a snapshop of the vagaries of celebrity as anything I’ve read for a long time. Keep it in your archives because it may very well be the document that people point to in years to come, when someone asks, do you remember that summer when GC took up with that SL and it unleashed an internet monster.

you can see in daylight what SL’s hair color is. all wrong. fiery copper red. this is what i mean when i say she has not developed a viable style. change to brunette. that would look smashing. this? nah.
thanks Charly!!! enjoyed the link.
