From Patchouli to Prada (Clooney’s “mystery” girl?)

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.

Apparently, I care about this issue a whole lot less than you do. IMHO you have to have earned that title, by having lived it, in the 60s. Although, used loosely, I know the meaning he was trying to convey by the use of the term.
Let it go.

That modeling pic, not so great. In fact, the pose is way too unnatural.
They didn’t dine alone: (go to the website to see a picture of the foursome)

Photo of the Day
Actor George Clooney and girlfriend Sarah Larson pose for a photo during their Valentine’s Day dinner with Bronson Olimpieri and his girlfriend, Brooke on Thursday at Nove Italiano inside the Palms. Olimpieri is the Director of Special Operations for the N9NE Group at the Palms. The group dined in the garden area of Nove, which features a fireplace and a view of the Las Vegas strip. (Courtesy photo)
Also from the same website:
Actor George Clooney and girlfriend Sarah Larson, attending the 10 p.m. performance of Cirque du Soleil’s “Love” at The Mirage on Thursday. The couple went backstage following the Valentine’s Day show to meet the cast and crew. It was Clooney’s second time seeing “Love.” He attended the show in 2007 with actress Ellen Barkin.
I am not buying that Valentine’s date thing, unless I see photos. No way George Clooney sat in an audience without security. They would have been bothered all throughout the show. Both articles were word for word, like it was a press release. They usually try to stray from the original story a little bit. If they had said special private show, I would believe it instantly. I am not buying the house on the beach thing either.
Okay I’ll give up that is that Sarah on that website, but I’m still looking.
On second thought, they could have went out, George Clooney wanted it low-key, because he could have very well taken her some place in LA, where they would have been definitely seen. LV is not pap crazy like LA. Since there were no paps, Miss Larson issued a statement about their date. She wants everyone to know she’s still around. That will eventually be her downfall. Leatherheads is coming out soon, no way is he letting her mess up his money again.
And those modeling photos are comical, were they supposed to be funny ?
A picture of George and Sarah on Valentine’s Day:
http://thevegaseye.com/home/2008/2/15/oceans-ni9e.html
Ok, here is my take on the latest outing/saga…
– Isn’t it romantic that GC went to Vegas instead of Sarah going to him…
– Isn’t it romantic that Sarah is wearing a red dress, the colour of love…
– Isn’t it romantic that they had dinner with N9NE Group’s special operations director and his girlfriend *cough*
– Isn’t it romantic that he took her to The Beatles “Love” musical (by the way he was seen with Ellen Barkin at the same event a few months back…)
– Isn’t it romantic that his his body language is “infront” of Sarah as usual (nice body language of the other guy with his girlfriend though…)
– Isn’t it romatic that we know in which suite he stayed and how much it actually costs
– Isn’t it romatic that we know every detail of their date, including what they ate….
– Isn’t it romantic that there is a nice picture to show us how much they love each other and that they went out on Valentine’s Day – the day for lovers…
In the meantime, N9NE is getting incredible publicity from all of this (as well as GC and SL – everyone benefits!)
Disclosure – I am going to steal a line from another poster in another forum… “Oh yeah, and one more perk. GC gets sex with a girl half his age”
Oh, I just noticed that one link that actually outlines every single detail is missing from this board (though, I’m sure once this is posted, others will have posted as well… http://blogs.lasvegasmagazine.com/VegasLuxeLife/george-clooney-has-vegas-valentine-for-sarah/). That was my bit to help with N9NE’s PR…
Finito!
That modeling photo doesn’t even look like her. Awful. I for one, am surprised they are still seeing one another since they haven’t been seen together much at all since mid=December.
Ah, isn’t that sweet?
Ah yes – the date ALL girls dream of for Valentine’s Day!
Clooney likes musicals – so they go see Love – check!
Clooney likes Italian food – so they dine at Nove Italiano – check!
Clooney thinks Vegas is cool ’cause it reminds him of Frank so the date is held there – check!
Clooney gets laid – check!
PR stories about the date are printed ’round the world – Priceless!
Stan the PR man – Don’t leave home without him!
LOL.
To Starsinsky –
Even though you don’t have an exact time of birth, what is your opinion on SL’s herself and with GC.
If you do a search on google for SL in quotes and 12/20/78, I believe you will find the website.
Please let us know what you come up with.
I will give this story about as much credence as I give the story about her moving in with him. If they had such a hot date on V Day, why no photos? Don’t tell me SOMEONE would not have taken a pic to try to sell it — even an amatuer, let alone the paps. Anyone have photos? If none can be found, consider that this story may be bogus and/or a plant by their camp (for whatever reason — just to prove they can screw with the media, if nothing else).
never mind. i found one, so consider the story verified. gc is starting to look like popeye (jutting jaw)…

Justwana etc : anyway, GC date a person who appreciates what he gives her, what would not obviously be your case, whatever people say about this girl, she is not a haughty person for whom nothing is rather nice.
Then what is your problem exactly? here are two persons whom you do not like, who are happy together and who do not come to mingle of your private business…so… ???
pfff..
George Clooney, Sarah Larson and N9NE Group’s Bronson Olimpieri and his girlfriend Brooke Mitchell celebrated Valentine’s Day with dinner at the N9NE Group’s Nove Italiano at the Palms. Executive Chef Geno Bernardo selected a variety of dishes for them to enjoy. George ate the bone in New York and Sarah had the branzino. Wine Director Christian Margesson chose all the wines for the table including a ‘97 Sassicaia, ‘03 Solaia and the ‘99 Bollinger.

apparently las vegas review journal columnist ‘norm’ has updated the page so that my link (see previous post) now takes you to a different story, not to the V day photo. the latest story is still about gc and sl, this time talking about their date on friday, and dancing and fluttering and singing and kissing while waiting for their limo outside the mgm grand.
The test will be the Oscars – whether she’ll be his date or he’ll dump her at a bar like he did his date for last year. Only allowing her to show up at his private afterparty.
And if Ms. Larson is so intent on a modeling career, why is she “basing” herself in Vegas? NYC, L.A. (for “celeb” shoots) even Paris or Milan – but VEGAS?!
Haughty? maybe not, attention whore? yup, no question. Career minded? Depends on which career, “dancer,” waitress, reality star, actress, model or rent-a-date….
What has happened to the “private” George Clooney”?! Is he going through some version of “male menopause”? This “Valentine’s” extravaganza is described almost to the detail of how he chewed his steak! Who is this person?! I’ve had such respect and admiration for his work and his political stance. I’ve skipped over his penchant for the strippers, the porn stars, etc. But he’s having Valentine’s dinner w/a man who is basically a “pimp” to the rich and famous, (Iet alone to his girlfriend — though THIS IS NOT PROVEN). And this other guy brings one of his girls to dinner with them. This is the same George who is now a U.N. Messenger of Peace. Is he losing his mind? Is he having a mid-life crisis? Is he so desperate to be young and one of the top 10 male sex symbols that he’d allow his life [to be posed] to be described in detail? That he’d be out in the open w/a women who’s been happy enough to have been photographed w/out panties to entice gamblers and who played either for the camera or herself kissing and fondling another woman? What did George talk about w/these other 3 people on Valentine’s Day? Certainly not Barack Obama; certainly not what’s happening in Darfur. Why would he want to be seen and actually pose for the 4-some picture of this “questionable” group — at least in the standards of a U.N. Messenger, or his parents, (with whom he chose not to have Sarah a part of the ceremonies because he recognized her “questionable” background?
I’ve read all these angry posts here about George and thought people were going a little over the top. But this is the first time I have truly felt that I have been fooled by a man who I thought was more than the whispers of this personal life. He can’t be that desperate to sell LEATHERHEADS. Maybe he’s had some sort of a breakdown — or maybe he really does love Sarah in his own twisted way: i.e., not enough to bring her out to the important events at the U.N., but willing enough to spend Valentine’s Day w/HER FRIENDS to give her some “respectability” or acknowledgment that a major star is her boyfriend.
I can say that I truly no longer understand him. Though that is my business and not his concern. But my disappointment in him personally may start to blur the lines between his work and who I thought he was as a human being.
Doesn’t make me wrong or right. Just disappoints me because I think — as he clearly does not — that he is worthy of someone so much more than the person he is currently with.
“Disclosure – I am going to steal a line from another poster in another forum… “Oh yeah, and one more perk. GC gets sex with a girl half his age””
WB — You have my full and absolute permission to quote me whenever the hell you want! LOL!
I don’t know who you are on the other forum, but I love your posts on this blog. They’re fabulous, darling, simply fabulous!
GC is keeping himself in the press these days, because I don’t have a clue where he was or what he ate last Valentine’s Day!
I wonder if the Academy members even care.
I think GC deserves an Oscar for Best PR Run of the Year. Between the film festivals, his weight loss, the accident, U.N. drama, his beef with Fabio, pictures of his girlfriend biting some chick on the ass, being honored by Nobel Peace Prize winners – doesn’t he deserve an Academy Award for all of that??? I mean come on. lol.
Charlie,
It is impossible to hate someone you don’t know. You can however, have an opinion, whether good or bad, about a person based on the behavior you see them exhibiting.
I have already clearly stated my reason why I believe George could do better – not only in his choice of female companions but also in regards to his words vs action. Which to me affects his credibility and integrity. I’ve already expressed them so I find it interesting that you still don’t understand why I choose to make fun of him, and more importantly, I don’t understand why it bothers you so much.
Those who choose to defend them have just as much right to do that as I do to make fun of him.
As you state, I don’ t know him personally. I’ve based my opinion on what he says and his corresponding actions. If you say one thing but then you act another then I will question your integrity. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that what George says and what he does are inconsistent – so I can only conclude that he is someone who I can no longer respect. If I don’t respect you and you are a public figure – then I figure you’re open game for ridicule.
They always say be careful what you wish for… George very clearly stated in early interviews that his goal was not to be an accomplished actor, or writer or director, he clearly stated that he wanted to be famous.
Well, he’s famous and his private life is no longer his. If he kept to just acting and just writing and just directing and made his social/political opinions known there – then I’d be less likely to have an issue. But he pushes the envelope with his trips to Africa, his trip to speak with Chinese government officials, his comments in front of the UN. If you’re going to play act like a statesman and try to get bodies of countries to act on behalf of people who need serious help, then you should come from a background of integrity.
Dating women who have a predilection for having their privates photographed and made available for all to see taints your credibility. And if it were just ONE woman then it would be one thing – a mistake – Sarah was young and made a bad choice. But you add in Krista with her crotch shots also available on the internet and Jenna Jameson one of porn’s darling Lils and you add the multiple reports of dates with strippers and such, then you start to see the pattern of behavior. This is not a man who respects women, this is a man who uses women. And if they want to use him back to get further in their acting careers (or whatever it is they want from him) well then, I guess they give as good as they get.
So as much as you like to spend much more time here than I defending him (and for which I don’t remember making very much – if any — commentary to you about it) I have just as much right to make fun of him.
As you say, I don’t know him but honey, neither do you. So I have to ask myself, what is your motivation for defending him? Well, since you have on more than one occasion made reference that you work in film I can only assume that one day you hope to meet him and work with him. Good for you – best of luck. But can I give you a hint? Talking about him here – even in his defense – won’t win you any points.
Why don’t you just send his production company your best head shot – make sure your resume is on the back and wait for the phone call? His production address and phone number can probably still be found on Clooney Studio.
So you can keep defending him and I can keep making fun of him. At the end of the day, I could give a rats ass what you or he thinks. I’m just entertaining myself here. And you may disagree, but I laughed my ass off while I was writing it. So, if you didn’t think it was funny – that’s okay too.
Best of luck to you in your acting career!
Justwana.. :-) : I am not an actress… I am working with producers , I am the one who submit the project moovie to the funds (private and public one) to obtain financing ( subvention and investment and also tax credit , here in canada)….So people like GC could need me but I really don’t need them…loll.
http://leatherheads.notlong.com
Apple has a quicktime version of the leatherheads promo up (I use notlong because alot of the longer url cut off when pasted.)
It looks bad, another Tracy/Hepburn attempt, the wide-eye stare, flirting with Zewellinger(?) and it’s a period piece…since GL hasn’t made a ton of money for any film in which he’s starred alone this could be his last hurrah as a solo leading man. Wonder if SL will stand by him in the bad times. Wonder if she’ll be around when he’s not so hot anymore? (career wise)
GC will always be in Hollywood somehow but it isn’t looking good that his acting career will be on top. He’ll become Cary Grant (heh) a former leading man that one goes to for a quote on how it used to be. Maybe GC will stay to directing as I read on Clooneystudio. BTW,l the web page is still being updated – the guy says he’s still getting mail, I wonder if he’s going to keep it going.
And concerning integrity background, I think that people in Darfour are not care about GC’s private life.
You can make fun of him, of course!
But help is always welcome for people who need it.
You answed to me as if I were an actress…you made assumptions :-) I simply say that you may be wary of appearances.
new kid: Of course he’s taking her to the OSCAR’S. He took her to Rome to accept the Nobel Peace prize and to pretty much every MC movie opening and awards show. Noticeably the major event he excluded her from was at the U.N. as he was made Messenger of Peace. Don’t think he wanted her photo in any of the shots as it could deflect from the truly good work he’s doing in Darfur, etc.
He also didn’t bring her to an awards show in LA when he was presenting a special award to Don Cheadle. I think he got so much flack for Sarah upstaging Don in Rome that he didn’t bring her to this.
I still believe he cares deeply in the causes he is involved with and is generous w/his money for charitable causes, i.e., $1,000,000 to Katrina.
But this other side of his life w/the women he “dates” is so out of context w/the person he appears to be professionally. And he has many highly intelligent and respected female friends — so he’s not a misogynist. Either his divorce and some early break-ups of long-term relationships w/great women caused him so much pain that he doesn’t want to get near any women who could be candidates for a real relationship and risk that pain again —
or — he just likes the trashy girls…

They have not birth time only the date
Here the link

Few time ago she had Pluto transiting Sag “upon” her Sun
Aries or Libra? What do you think?
Do you work for GC, Jules? Good spin.
Hello Anon2 & Mafalda,
I am interested in astrology and have taken a couple of classes and seminars, but in no way am I a professional astrologer at all. I do however read several astrology blogs and there are 2 that provide good celebrity coverage, whom I will submit the birth information too.
The first is Celeb Astroblogy at media-darling.com run by Kitty T, where you located Sarah’s birth date from Mafalda. Kitty T has not been posting as much lately, and to be honest I am a bit surprised she hasn’t commented on this coupling, since in 2006 she wrote this post on his birthday http://media-darling.com/2006/04/george-clooney-not-marrying-kind.html addressing the gay issues, and saying based on his chart, there might be some validity to these rumors, and that there were some sexual skeletons hanging in his closet. Her reports on Brad & Angie’s relationship and Tom & Katie, are interesting. She has a search option if you want to check them out.
The 2nd sit is Astrological Musings at astrodynamics.blogspot.com by Lynn Hayes. Her main focus is world events, politics, and the effect of astrology on the general population. She occasionally does celebrities, but does not devote her site to it. She put up a couple of post about him, because she respects his humanitarian work. One near the end of 2005 addressed his worst year ever http://astrodynamics.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html The article is about 1/2 way down the page. In 2006, Lynn did another post briefly touch on his love life, stating that 2007 might be the year he finds some to “settle down” with http://astrodynamics.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
So when Sarah came along in 2007, it seemed that Lynn’s assessment might be right about him finding someone for a long term relationship.
For a really accurate natal chart the date, time and place of birth are needed, especially if someone is born on the cusp, the transition from one sun sign to another, which Sarah is. I put the date in and ran it for 12am, 12pm, and 11:59pm, and gave the birth place as Seattle, since it’s close to Kent, and I don’t know if Kent has a hospital, but I know Seattle does.
As someone who finds astrology interesting, the information that stayed with me is this-the Sun Sign is your core personality, the moon sign rules your emotions, and your rising sign is the mask/appearance the rest of the world sees. Also, I remember learning that Carl Jung studied astrology and found that in long-term romantic relationships, the partners sun/moon signs were opposite. George has a Taurus Sun and Capricorn Moon, so according to Jung’s information he would have a better long term relationship with someone who’s moon is in Scorpio, the opposite of his Taurus Sun, or someone with a Cancer Sun which is opposite his Capricorn moon. These are very broad strokes though, since there are conjunctions, oppositions, etc. in a persons chart that might make the a good match with someone else, even if the couples sun/moon signs are not in opposition. For that information a professional astrologer would need to analyze both their charts together.
So Sarah has has a Sagittarius Sun sign, a Virgo Moon,and her rising sign is a mystery, since that part of the chart changes every few hours. Sags are the parties/travelers of the zodiac. Virgo’s tend to be critical and observant, and behind the scenes, which would show how she relates to people emotionally. Now her Venus, planet of love is in Scorpio. Scorpio rules sex and death, so this combination is what makes her very attractive to the opposite sex, and probably also very sexual in nature. The flip side is Scorpio are INTENSE, and can be controlling and/or possessive of their lovers. Knowing her rising sign might help. I put in the birth date with varying times of birth and the rising sign kept changing. Since that is the outward appearance we present to others, I am very curious to know hers. George’s rising sign is in Pisces which gives him the appearance of being dreamy, sensitive, and romantic.
I will keep checking the net to see if any other astrology sites have done an analysis of the two. Thanks for providing the birth date. Time and place would be great too, but the only way to get those is from a birth certificate, or family member. Perhaps Aunt Sue is still checking the board, and has that information, since she mentioned her son and Sarah were only born a few hours apart.
Have a great week.
That photo at first seemed photoshopped to me. The shadow behind George’s head looks wrong. Shouldn’t it be an outline of his head, not a little blob. He is not even holding her ,usually you can see where he makes an attempt to hold her. It looks like an old photo of him superimposed on this photo of Sarah’s pimp, his other hooker and his most famous hooker. It looks like the rest of them aren’t even ther ewith him, is he that self-centered. Sarah’s pimp isn’t even dressed up, at least George put on a suit. George looks drunk already. Why did we need to know how much he spent,what they ate or drank and if dude was head of Special Events why wasn’t the meal on him? Who shares Valentine’s Day with another couple. Also since we are given so much information where’s the gift, did he even buy her a gift, probably not or that would have been photographed as well. Let me not speak to soon, could be another post of the gift being created as I type. Who does Valentine’s Day in Vegas, when your man has a romantic villa in Italy… seems real cheesy to me.
Methinks George was there for a good time and those two chicks provided him one for the photo op. You don’t take your love to a show, you took another woman to, in less than a year.
If he’s taking her to the Oscars I hope he gets her hair done, and buys her a nice dress .
Kelly-Michelle:
No, don’t work for GC or know him. Never even seen him in person. Wish I did for all of the above.
And…. here’s a recent photo of him ten days ago, ( well from Valentine’s Day)his hair was lighter (brown) and less gray. That Just for Men must have worn out quickly. And he has that same suit on, damn he could have put on another suit to take his girl out.

Aunt Sue is still around. I bumped into her in the comments section under a tabloid report about GC & SL not long ago. She was quite busy proclaiming that anyone who said anything negative about the pair had a low IQ and proceeded on and on declaring her superior intellectual prowess. Why a genius like her would waste her time poking around celebrity gossip sites for info on her relatives is beyond me!
WOW STARSKINSKY!!!!!
Your report is EXCELLENT
I’m not professional too.
I made an attempt chart, I can’t see “so much coincidence” between both (G&S)
Sarah has Venus in Escorpio on 15*, George has his Nep in Escorpio en H 8 on
9*48′
Sarah’s Moon 2*Virgo – George’s Kiron 2* Virgo H6
Sarah’s Mars 5* Cap conj Sun 28 Sag trine George’s Pluto 5*Virgo H6
George’s NN (H6) conj partil Sarah Moon 2* Virgo.
Would be interesting a relationship chart we must waiting for her asc.
Perhaps Kitty tells something near to his next birthday.
Excuseme my mistakes writing in english
oops!
OH MY GOD could that post be any longer? Get a web page next time, this blog is slow enough to load up since we’re all so verbose and opinionated…;.
For all I know from the amount of celebration Perrier Jouet top-of-the-line “Fleurs” bottles that were knocked back, just maybe an engagement is in the works? Check her hands next Sunday when they walk the red carpet together at the Oscars and go fully public with the romance in the photographers flash-frenzy. Incidentally, you still have time to support our local Arthritis Foundation Oscar gala dinner at the Planet Hollywood resort with its live telecast feed from Los Angeles next Sunday.
(Robin Leach Las Vegas blog)
TAKE IT PUBLIC? sheesh – what’s left walking naked down the red carpet? How much more “fully public” can they be? He’s done everything but have sex with her in a public place. If this is true I can’t wait to see the gloating in her eyes and the thrill of being in front of the camera oh yeah, he’ll be there too.
url for the above, sorry.
http://oscar2008.notlong.com
Thanks for clearing the actress bit up. I must have mis-read a previous post – perhaps it was not yours.
You are correct, the people in Darfur don’t care who he dates – I never made that type of statement nor meant to infer or imply it with my comments.
I stated that if he was going to try to get governments to make policy changes that would (or could) affect or help the people of Darfur (like he did when he went to China) then he should have more integrity.
My opinion of him is affected by the company he keeps. There is an old saying – show me who your friends are and I’ll show you who you are. If you only date trashy women then that tells me you are a trashy person too. So no matter how many millions you give to charitable causes; no matter how much money you put out for Armani suits so that you can polish the patina of your image – in my opinion, if you lie with pigs you’ll get dirty.
What people in other countries keep forgetting is that the US has many, many people who would be appalled if they were to see the photos of George’s dates that are out there on the internet.
I just received an email today about the Jane Fonda c-word incident on the Today Show. There were hundreds and hundreds of email addresses on it from people who had forwarded this particular email on and on. It was a call to action to have NBC fined by the FCC for having allowed the word to air.
So this is an uproar about someone just saying the word. Can you imagine the amount of flack that George would truly get if the pictures of his girlfriend’s “c” made it to any mainstream publication?
George is trying to use his celebrity to affect policy change (or influence people to contact their governments to affect that change). He then has to be held to the same expectation of standards that anyone in a government position would be held.
The fact that there are some here who don’t see that is absolutely amazing to me. George doesn’t deserve a pass – he should be held to a higher standard because HE is often the first to call someone else to the carpet for behaviour that he finds unacceptable!
So the only thing left here is to agree that we will never agree on this point. I won’t change my mind until he changes his actions. You have to LIVE integrity; not give it lip service.
Does he own anything but black? Every picture is beginning to look the same. I have seen that so at the MGM…all but walked out. Costuming consist of a piece of black tape covering a certain area and different head dress for different numbers. The stage has poles on it and is barely high enough for the girls to stand up there with their head dresses on and it gets worst from there. Nothing like taking your date to watch girls dance around on poles naked.
To: DeadC –
Is there anyway you can start a new page/ thread/ article link, whatever. This page is getting to long to load.
@Angel:
Maybe he was taking SL back so she could reminise?

http://hwdhateGC.notlong.com
Radar Magazine “Why Hollywood is Hating on GC”
Has the PR machine finally backfired? (my note)
…According to Hollywood insiders, Clooney is an overhyped egomaniac, a phony, and a “bully” with a “whopping temper” Of course, the man has his reasons: At 46, he’s clawed his way to the top of the business, an incontestable A-lister and respected director with final-cut status. He’s seen as “a burlier version of Cary Grant,” according to a recent Los Angeles Times…
Quote from the web page, which is the same as the hard copy of the article. URL above.
I just wanted to say that there was no day 3 to the “Romantic Tour”. The N9NE Steakhouse dinner happened on day 2 (Friday night). Notice Leach omitted the mention of the steakhouse on Friday, but he put it on Saturday. We know from the Las Vegas Review Journal, reporting Saturday morning, that they went to the steakhouse on Friday. So either Leach is grossly exaggerating, turning the 2-day love fest into a 3-day one (Gee wiz do he think he would grossly exaggerate this? the rest of the reporting seemed so … indifferent) or he got his facts screwed up.
New kid : lol..the url..lol…what is that? ouff..loll..this is, well, i don’t know wich words to use in english but the presentation is really special, old fashion or …well..I don’t know how to express my feeling …really sorry but my english is too limited. lol.
Justwana : :-) I read your point, I don’t agree with all you say but I understand (it take time for me to clearly express myself, so I hope I can bring more next time we exchange, I don’t know if you remenber but english is not my first language )
i agree with angel, which is to say that a v-day date in which you ask your girl to watch a nudie show is in poor taste. it would seem that kind of date is more to please gc than for sl, who should be getting a little respect on her special day. apparently she didn’t mind as they were said to canoodle throughout. i read he spent 40K or so at dinner ($900 bottles of champagne, etc.). Have no idea if it is true. Vegas seems like an odd choice for someone closing in on 50. I think of it as a club playground for the young uns, or maybe old geezers from Marina del Rey who still drive corvettes at 60. i don’t know, gc is looking less classy by the minute.
I believe there are some here who might find the link below interesting. It includes photos of women Clooney has reportedly dated. Some are definitely correct, but I’ll bet this is no where near half the list.
I give the site credit, at least they posted flattering pics of most of the gals. Although it seems his ex-wife Talia Balsam could have had a better picture posted!! And just to add my opinion to the astrology bit, he’d probably do best with a Cancer.
