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.
–Dead C
Either way,re: the VD date, it didn’t JUST leak out, SOMEONE reported it to the press, Robin Leach, while pompous, doesn’t do his own reporting. Or he never did when he did “Lifestyles” back in the dark ages. If the article is correct and they did stay at the Playboy suite I would bet the 40K they didn’t pay for anything. “A” list doesn’t pay and if GC is the gambler the press makes him out to be, high stakes gamblers are covered 100% by the casino for anything but their gambling debts.
This all STILL smells like a publicity stunt combined with a midlife crisis. And the Radar article sounds like a pr backlash is starting. I hope SL has her bags ready to go – I am still baffled at “shuttling back and forth from Vegas to LA.” “Basing her modeling career from Vegas.” I still ask why Vegas? Why not LA/NYC or Europe?
Charlie: it’s a short url leading to the longer url for the article, longer url may be truncated/cut off when pasted.
of all the girls, sl looks the most “small town”. at least in that particular photo. wow, he’s gone through a LOT of women, pretty incredible, when you think of it. how can someone do that? i just do not understand that mindset.
Hi everybody! Everything’s ok?
To Angel – hello! Let me tell you: lucky me, I am not a movie/tv actress. I am just a first assistant director :-)
To Charlie – dear Charlie, my new website is still “under construction”, but I’ll write to you soon and privately :-)
To New Kid – Thank you, thank you, thank you very much! You have found the video about the Clooney’s Nespresso issue, the one I mentioned on my first post here.
So, dear posters, we can clearly see now the “chameleon man” almost losing his mask, and also we can see the always nice and charming “Saint George” getting nasty to a – OMG! – an innocent lady!
Ah, George! You, little devil! ;-)
And finally we can see on the same video the GC’s best acting performance ever: ten different facial expressions in five seconds! Where is his major Award?
Ps: have you seen the Oscar Luncheon’s photos? The ones with Javier Bardem and GC together? Don’t remember where they are, but: it was a plenty of time that I didn’t see Mr Clooney so really and sincerely HAPPY. He doesn’t have for sure the same joyful expression in the last pictures of his Valentine’s Day. For you, who is he going to prefer? Sarah or Javier?
Well, I’d prefer Javier, too (for his Latin sense of humour, of course… like GC does) ;-)
No comment about the SL “doing modelling” shot. If she is going to make a model career with pictures like these, no doubt in some part of my life I can still win a Best Special Effects Academy Award for my ability to cut my dog’s hairs.
Ps Ps: is it true? I got it right? SL spent her V – Day night watching a group of naked girls?
Poor thing :-(
I’m still wondering if she’ll be his arm candy Sunday night, there was a piece on one of the shows this evening that GL is planning his own Oscar afterparty. Perhaps he’ll leave her there? Think his family will be there? Does anyone know if she’s met the parents? Ted Casablanca gave GL an “award” that his girlfriends should get a “get out the tabloids free card.” Has SL been in the tabs other than in the beginning?
I’m STILL confused as to why she’s based in Vegas and she shuttles back and forth (or he does) wonder if there’s a new girl on the line? Or guy (ahem)
No one has actually hit the nail on the head here. First of all, life in Hollywood is different, life for the rich and powerful is even more so. Clooney is an A-List movie star and to reach and survive those rarified heights he must be arrogant, egocentric, narcissistic and manipulative (and other not so pleasant qualities). It’s necessary, he’s not unusual, it’s the name of the game, that’s show biz, etc. Along with great fame (and world-wide exposure), the need to protect the image (that golden word, discretion) also becomes greater while trust dwindles and all but disappears. No, this is not a very nice man when the veneer is stripped away, none of them truly are. It’s a price they willingly pay.
This woman has a college degree because it was expected of her by her parents who were footing the bill, so she knows how to fill her part of a bargain. But this is also an intellectually lazy woman with no discernable talent and a thirst for attention. What could be more gratifying than to become an experienced party girl in Vegas, home of anything goes, the legal whorehouse and the archetype for discretion. A model? At 29? Where’s the portfolio? Even shitty models have a portfolio. Her portfolio seems to be a handful of cooch shots and a few tacky videos.
The bottom line – she procures. It’s either a strict business relationship or she procures for them both. This is not an unusual situation in Vegas, and certainly not in Hollywood (sometimes it’s called ‘marriage’). Do you honestly believe a man like Clooney can have a normal relationship with a woman? This is not a man looking for the mother of his children and thank god for that. He understands who he is. He knows he cannot be faithful, there will always be beautiful people vying for his attention. At least he chooses not to victimize some poor woman miserably in love with him. Many actors, and actresses, are not so considerate. Why do you think he keeps so busy? This is a man who has turned away from love, he sublimates by working exhaustively.
They’ll be together for a while. And of course he’ll bring her to the Academy Awards. I’m sorry to any soccer moms out there who don’t want to hear disturbing things about their idol. But then, that’s why he’s famous – he makes you believe. And I don’t mean that in a nasty way – you look at a headshot of him and it’s like he’s looking at only you. That’s magic, he’s got it.
I realize I sound sympathetic of Clooney and condemnatory of Larson. I am. He has that Hollywood charisma, I think he’s earned his right, he has paid his dues. He is a Movie Star, part of a pantheon of greats and near greats, a slice of cultural history. She is part of that dark underbelly of fame that feeds off the weaknesses and frailties of others. And while it’s fair to say they are using each other, I find her more reprehensible. You see people like her all the time, circling like sharks looking for the bigger and better deal. Well she lucked out this time. No doubt she has romantic visions of creating her own Heidi Fleiss empire. Don’t be surprise if she opens her own ‘model’ agency some day in Vegas, with an exclusive branch in Hollywood.
Yeah, I love Javier Bardem, so cool this man and talented.
New kid : :-) the url works very well ( oscar2008) :-) …I just can’t explain, in english , the feeling that this article gave to me…loll..something like hilarious/weird/cheerful and so ‘kitsch’/ the manner it is written..well.. a lot of impressions at the same time ! :-) and make me laught..a lot.
:-)
The Radar article describes personality traits of half (most?) the people I know! Someone crosses you and you want revenge? Nothing new there. Do you have a whopping temper? I will bet everyone reading this has one. As described, George Clooney is no different than you or me, just a whole lot richer. And THAT’S what makes people want to take him down. He’s no more or less of a nice/bad person than anyone here. If these are all the ‘bad’ things he’s done, then next the media will have to invent worse. Oh wait. They already do!
also, ijust took a relook at the clip where someone asks GC to ‘reconcile’ his activism posturing with his work for Nespress/Nestle, the multinational that is often under fire. as you know, GC’s detractors widely point to this exchange as proof that, lurking deep within GC’s soul, he is a rude and nasty man. i can assure you, this video shows him as anything BUT that. he’s remarkably restrained and even-handed in his response to a rude question from someone who was there for the sole purpose of needling him. the question was off-topic, that is to say it had nothing to do with Michael Clayton, and he had every right to refuse to answer at all, yet he gave the questioner a bit of his time. he didn’t explode, throw a hissy fit, or anything of the kind. he did show some (however slight) irritation near the end. who wouldn’t? barack obama showed just as much irritation last night during the debates when Hillary accused him of plagiarism in front of the entire nation. is anyone screaming this morning about barack’s hidden evil personality? of course not. i have read through the comments on this forum and i think it is QUITE accurate to say that it will be a cold day in hell before anything GC ever says or does equals in nastiness of spirit what has been written here. as to poolside’s claim that he/she really likes GC, wow. with friends like that…you might also want to read deadc’s comment that SL paid her way through college. you are talking because you can, but there is a disconnect between the mouth and the brain.
@Poolside:
I think most of these posts point out that this is an arranged, rented or otherwise negotiated relationship. That SL IS in it for anything but love, she might be in love – I don’t know her – but everything we’ve seen, we’ve been allowed to see, shows a couple who are business partners. He gives her exposure, she gives him credibility. What is becoming clear, via the Radar article and a few more, is the veneer of GC good guy, sweet man, debonair man about town is really a manwhore. Is this shocking? Probably only to those who saw GC as a cool kinda guy. His films where he is the solo star, aka the opener, have made less including foreign and DVD, than the budget. The only films he’s made that have made back more than budget are the Ocean’s series. GC NEEDS a woman such as SL for his ego, he’s in his 50’s quite soon, if not already I’m too lazy to look up his age, the groupies will start to go for the younger stars who will take them to the hot spots and his career has already started to take a turn to the 2nd star on the marquee.
There was a rumor around that Warners was so unhappy with his films making no money that they wanted him to do some cameo appearances in other films to up his value. There is also a rumor that Warners is ready to drop Smokehouse when the deal is up and was not at all sorry to see Section Eight go to the wayside.
Is GC any different than anyone else in the “biz?” Heck is he any different than anyone running a Fortune 500 company? Probably not, I only have experience with the latter, the big difference is that GC has always professed that his privacy is key, he doesn’t comment on his personal life, he won’t tell about his dating life and for a long time other than an occasional picture this was true. Now he’s practically throwing this rent-an-escort on the table screwing her in public. He’s having his picture taken with the “gentleman” who was her boss when she was a 9-girl, he’s glad-handing cooking staff as he wends his way down the kitchen with SL, he’s singing and dancing around fountains and proclaiming the fact she’s now a model and commutes to see him.
He gave up the assumption to his privacy when those press releases were handed out, oh I’m sorry LEAKED. While GC has a point as to the dangerous situation that the press has created cutting him off while riding and crossing the lane designators for a photo, he has CREATED THIS MONSTER. He cannot say he hates what he has created.
This also taints his Messenger of Peace, GC with an escort, GC speaking to the U.N. (or attempting to speak,) GC in Darfur, GC photographed with a pimp. Does this mean he is any less concerned about Darfur? Probably not, but it gives the public another eye upon the person that is making the plea. Some of those eyes are going to turn away.
@sofrench
Yup, it’s a long ride up and a short ride down, we as a society do love to kick a person when s/he’s up because heck we put them there so they owe us! GC says he doesn’t owe us anything. Perhaps he is correct, I can’t remember who said it but there was a quote from an Actor. “The only thing I owe the public is a good performance for the price of their ticket.” (I may be incorrect in my quote but the gist is correct.)
O.K., I came back to see what flap might be flying over the big George and Sarah Valentine news….skipping quickly over the typically boring to nasty what do I unexpectedly find but some actually interesting information from Starskinsky about Sarah’s birth time. I have practiced and studied astrology a very long time and can provide those who are interested with some information a bit deeper than Starskinsky’s research. Starskinsky…this is for you.
The true compatibility between charts for marriage is found in one or both parties sun and/or moon position in the partner’s chart. Extensive observation has shown there is usually the sun or moon of either or both person(s) (or a ruling planet of one or both) in the 7th house of the other’s chart and/or in powerful aspect to the others major and/or ruling planets. (Ruling planets are those that keep reoccuring in house rulership over and/or aspects in one’s chart.) With chart analysis it isn’t just the planets but their house placement that must be analyzed to understand correctly. This isn’t easy and takes a lot of practice.
Looking at George’s chart placement of the moon both ruled by and conjunct saturn opposite mars with venus in the first house, ruled by mars/Aries, may all reflect some extensive emotional struggles and difficult emotional/heart lessons for George. Moon conjunct saturn usually indicates challenges/difficulties with a mother being controlling, possessive and/or restrictive by nature and/or toward her child. His sun is ruled by venus (relationships)…venus is in the 2nd house of money and possessions ruled by mars…mars is on the cusp of the 6th house of service to others opposing the moon and saturn and jupiter ruled by saturn and uranus respectively. Uranus trines the midheaven (career) and squares mercury and the sun (father). George probably didn’t get to communicate with and see his father without unexpected disruptions and separations. All of this to say that George most likely has not felt very close to many in his life. Freedom, career and service to others are his release for all the complications, sudden unexpected changes and tensions with relationships.
No matter what her ascendant Sarah’s share’s the conjunction of moon and saturn which is in virgo in George’s 7th house. In my experience a strong saturn placement to anothers sun or moon is also key to long term relationships..whether marriage, one’s children/parents, partners, etc. Her sagitarius sun is 28 degrees and G’s capricorn moon is 28 degrees…an exact semi sextile. Her virgo moon and saturn trines his Taurus sun and mercury…excellent for common ground and communication. George’s pluto and north node is conjunct Sarah’s virgo moon…a powerful aspect between any two people….and her venus is ruled by pluto. George’s sun is 15 degrees of Taurus…If Sarah was born from 3:30 ish to 4 am that would put his sun in her 7th house.
The other important aspect between lovers and married couples is the aspect between the male’s mars and the female’s venus. These are not in aspect in the natal charts indicating that aside from possible powerful temporary progressions and transit aspects…sexual compatibility is not the strongest long term attraction. However George’s 15 degree taurus sun is exactly opposite Sarah’s 15 degree scorpio venus. This is an especially powerful attracting aspect for very close, long term, happy companionship.
Can’t and don’t want to imagine what the neg’s will do with this information…however, if the birthdates and george’s birth time info are correct so is what I have told you.
My advice to you Starskinsky and anyone interested in astrology is not to be tempted by all the shallow information available in newspapers and on the internet. It is too generalized, meant for sensationalism, over simplified and meaningless. Get books, study charts and learn over time. Test the aspects by examining peoples charts and their lives over time…it is a very interesting and ancient science. There are no “bad aspects” only important lessons. The danger is in taking any of it too literally and beginning to limit oneself to living life based on ones perceived fears and optimisms of what aspects, transits, etc are “supposed” to mean. Chose the life you live, don’t be a victim. Cheers, A

sofrench – a little birdy told me who you are ;-)
Well the latest “news” in all the European tabloids is that George wants to marry Sarah and have a baby with her — as she feels her “biological clock is ticking”…Here’s one of the tabloids:
http://www.hellomagazine.com/film/2008/02/22/george-clooney-sarah/
Sarah’s new modeling pictures:
http://www.envymodeltalent.com/envyartists/images/Melissa%20Conner/mak eup/sara%20bella.jpg
http://www.envymodeltalent.com/promof/sarahlpromo.jpg
Check out the People magazine this week – “George & Sarah getting serious” it gives comments by Tilda Swanson – “he’s happy right now” is the most telling of the quotes. Then the sidebar gives the dresses, jewels and purse that have been sent for “Sarah’s consideration.”
Not bad for someone who commutes.
re: modeling pictures
Airbrush much? sheesh – she’s no less nor more pretty than most of the girls out there, the best models are actually quite plain so that they turn into whatever the client/photographer want. What they do have, that I see missing in SL’s pictures is the personality, the “it” factor that makes a successful model.
I wish her luck, we all must make a living at something – either way she’ll never have to work a day in her life. When she and GC part – she’ll get the same pay-off the other girls do, what’s it like to be in a relationship where there is a known expiration date?
If that article is true and her “clock is ticking” she better set the alarm for early reality and run, now.
Amazing-
Thanks so much for taking the time to analyze Sarah and George’s charts.
I really appreciate you doing this for me. I know enough about astrology to know that I don’t know enough. Mafalda kindly published a post noting some of the conjunctions, but I lacked the skills to translate that information into something I could understand.
It sounds like they have a strong foundation for a long term relationship.
There are many people whom believe the whole relationship is a sham and PR stunt, but those early photo’s showed two people who adored and were happy with each other. I believe that once it was realized how much publicity the relationship received, that it started being pimped out to the press. Especially, after reading all the details of their Valentine’s Day or how they are both in People and the tabloids on a regular basis, despite George’s protest about his private life being off limits. From their charts do you get the sense this was “written in the stars” as fate type of relationship or that they are compatible and can have a long-term relationship if they chose too?
It was informative to learn about the influence of Saturn and the Moon on partnership/marriage relationships. I always associate Saturn w/ discipline and the father figure, and the Moon of course with emotions and the mother. It never occurred to me how they could affect intimate relationships. Is the 7th house only “intimate” relationships or also business ones? Interesting to learn he might have had a difficult relationship with his mother. Could you glean anything about Sarah’s relationship w/ her parents? I’m just curious since Dead C mentioned her dad leaving the family, and he probably died when Sarah was still fairly young. I believe she has either a Leo or Sagittarius rising, since she seems really comfortable and confident on the red carpet and at other events. Also, does place of birth matter as much as date and time. Based on Sarah growing up in Kent, I assumed she was born in Washington, but she could have been born somewhere else, and her family moved when she was small.
Have had my natal chart done a couple of times, so I know not to just rely on Sun signs. That’s why I warned people that what I was saying based on their Suns and Moons were very broad strokes. Have found a few websites/blog where it’s real practicing astrologers, who do natal chart analysis of celebrities. Usually, just brief overviews, but always fun and informative. Reading those sites and your analysis is motivating me to study it again.
Thank you again Amazing and Mafalda. I hope you have a great weekend.
Starsinsky
If SL were living with George, as the Hello article claims, then why is she working with a Las Vegas modeling agency? This makes no sense. The modeling photos look amateurish, borderline ridiculous. Her bud Amber Nicole is also a model with Envy (recognized her photo there).
Very interesting Amazing. I have some questions for you but don’t want to post them. Could you post your email address?
sofrench:
You’re not reading back – all of this has already been asked…related to SL perhaps?
Look at what Larson’s stats are at her modeling agency now. They’re getting away with lying about her height. When Larson’s stats were first revealed last year, her height was released as 5’7 and a half. Now her stats at the modeling agency make her 5’9 and a half.
Clooney is 5’11. If Larson is well over 5’9 she should have cleared his height by about two and half inches in her stiletto boots. She didn’t even come close. She was in four inch heels and still wasn’t taller than him. In two inch heels she should be taller than GC by half an inch and yet she’s always shorter.
Have we ever seen SL taller than GC? According to her stats at the modeling agency she should always be taller than him when she’s in heels. Not many models can start a career at 29, and even fewer can pretend they’re two inches taller than they are.
SL finally gets a legitimate job and she’s lying about herself AGAIN. I don’t know how many young women who work very hard to build a portfolio and are denied opportunities because they are a couple years too old, and they are a couple inches too short. You see normally you can’t lie about your height. SL is misrepresenting herself and lying her way to fame and adulation from the entertainment media.
Larson has fabricated her resume from the beginning: saying she was an actress but all she had done was a reality show, saying she was a dancer, when in fact she was a pole dancer (Fear Factor scouted her down from a pole to offer her the show), she said she was a model but the only modeling she did was spokes modeling – while I’m sure not all of this work was sexually explicit, we do know this work included baring her crotch, and biting women in the ass, and licking their thighs to promote and market N9NE.com.
Then Larson said she was a cocktail waitress although her boss never said she was a waitress at those bars, he said she worked out of those bars in “marketing and promoting for N9NE” where they employed her as a “paid party girl”. She would attend the bars and various gambling functions and keep the big spenders happy and therefore spending more money. What was required of the girls to keep the big spenders happy, however, is rumor and innuendo at this point. There is a blogger that claims to have credible sources that Larson was a favorite on the paid party girl circuit and that keeping the high rollers happy includes sexual activity. Whether or not this is true, we know from SL’s own boss that she was far more than just a waitress in those bars (if she ever was one) and her job was to market and promote N9NE in sexually explicit print and video ads.
So we have a repeated pattern of this girl padding and white-washing her resume: “actress” “model” “dancer” “cocktail waitress/ working class hero”. All the while she’s leaving out her true sources of employment. She’s receiving press attention and adulation for jobs she never had or version of these jobs that were a lot less respectable than she’s revealing.
So now she finally gets a legitimate modelling career going and she’s lying about herself AGAIN. I don’t know any models can get away with saying they’re two inches taller than they are. I guess if you’re “George Clooney’s Girlfriend” no one will call you on it.
This girl boldly lies about herself with regard to each and every opportunity that comes her way and yet GC calls her “classy”?
In addition to Envy Model and Talent (see link above), Sarah is listed with Impact Models & Entertainment in Las Vegas:
http://www.impact-models.com/html/women_details/women_md178b.htm
long article about dinner with george in time magazine, written by joel stein. you can find it by googling a combination of those terms. i found the last line of the article the most intriguing, and it fits in with what i have noticed about gc before, that when you see him ‘around’ anyone, he’s the one doing the caretaking. more so than any guy i have ever seen. “watch your back…are you okay…watch your step…over there…careful..careful”.
Starskinsky
as you very well said early ” I know enough about astrology to know that I don’t know enough” true so true despite of my long term as astrology student
Amazing
you made an excellent analysis thanks a lot.
I want to say that I am not “fan” of relationship charts (it doesnt meaning that we must ignoring them) why?
Because of during my studies I saw a lot of “perfect relationships” (long life together) ending after few years someones before to get the 1st year.
By other hand “hard relationships” really were long-term couples (marriage/commiters etc) because of this I prefer to compare both seeing one close to the other but separately.
SL has Venus conj Uranus in Scorpio opp Moon in Taurus it could be speaking on intense/strong feelings/suddenly enddings/splits, short-term relatioships. Would be interesting to learn the Asc.
GC has Moon/Saturn in CAP H11 the same has SL Moon/Saturn but in Virgo on 11/13 degrees) both in earth element
Can you see always Saturn is a wall for the moon’ feelings/emotional reactions
George’s time birth: 2:58 AM CST +6 (EST+5 delight time) place:Lexington KY according to excellent astrology sites.
happy weekend
ps sorry New Kid, I know is too long/hard….oops
I forgot GC’s Asc 11* Pescis 57′ (topocentric)
cheer
Shadow, I predict a huge public backlash after the Academy Awards, especially if she walks the red carpet and GC doesn’t win.

You seem to have misread the intention of my post. I didn’t say anything about liking him, but as a matter of fact I do – he’s charming, funny and always courteous. He’s creative, hard working and holds his public in high regard. He’s genuinely humble and modest about his talent and tries to give back something of value. But yes, he can be unpleasant and there are those who find his practical jokes more nasty and mean, than funny. We have our dark sides. However, my point was that to maintain this level of power, an actor has to fight for it with any weapons at their disposal, i.e., arrogance, manipulation, etc. I don’t speak of these qualities as negatives, they have their place, and in Hollywood, they are necessities. My post was more about the town, the industry, than Clooney. There are some earlier posts (back in Sept/Oct) that were obviously written by insiders about the nature of The Game. They’re interesting, informative, and while they don’t paint a very pleasant picture, accurate. You should look them up.
And also, I completely agree with your comments about the Radar article and video. The article is very he said/she said and there’s not a director/artist in the world who doesn’t think their creation is been ruined by others’ hands. It’s a bullshit article; it talks about the town turning on Clooney when that’s exactly what it’s trying to precipitate. Also, the video did not show this dark, hidden, nasty side – it showed someone being unexpectedly blindsided, trying to handle it with patience and getting, I thought, justifiably aggravated.
There are those who can’t reconcile the fact that despite his Everyman integrity, sense of justice and good deeds, Clooney’s seen with strippers, lap dancers, porn actresses and any variety of women working in the more demeaning areas of the job force. But it does make sense. He’s not looking for a wife; he’s fulfilling a basic need. The problem here is image. It doesn’t look good to collect a Nobel medal, talk about the rape and savagery in Darfur and then go out to Hooters with your two favorite Saturday Night Specials (joke). Hence, Sarah Larson, beard, procuress. And I don’t give a damn who paid for her education, I stand by my opinion.
Hello Mafalda-
Thanks for adding more insights. What I’m getting from your post is that Saturn is wall preventing both of them from expressing their emotions?
Also, I liked what you said about difficult relationships sometimes lasting longer. Lynn Hayes on her blog said that a soul mate isn’t someone who is necessarily easy to get along w/, but someone who helps you grow and become better, and that sometimes growth can be a painful process. I am paraphrasing here, but you could probably find the quote on her site.
Sigh, more long astro charts – about as useful as the corner psychic telling me I’m going to win the lotto. I win s/he’s great, I lose it was free will. Either way the psychic has an out…
Impact should look at their work or hire a new proof-reader, I’d be concerned that my employer can’t spell waist correctly.
SL a liar! The shock of it all! sheesh – get the Wellie’s out the shit storm starts tonight with the press fawning all over GC’s Girlfriend Out In Public! It’ Official Their A Couple! At least GC will go away since he doesn’t have anything to push in the way of films – and won’t until later in the spring when Leatherheads escapes, erm is released, then nothing until the end of the year when either Burn After Reading or the animated are escapees. (from Clooney Studio – still inoperation)
Wow, I rag on a typo and my post looks like a two-year practicing letters…
I apologize for the typo, no excuse but a poor proof reader (me)
Let the games begin:
E! – she didn’t say a word – no comment on who made the dress – no diamonds – lilac? 3-tiers. Not at all impressive considering what he can get for her, so to speak. She looks like she dyed her hair?
She is a fox. Clooney can have any piece of tail he wants. It must be a good life.
Hello Starsinsky
I like a lot your post its excactly.
I did’nt know Lynn Hayes blog, thank you
When Saturn goes ahead (Venus/Sat – Moon/Sat etc) in majority cases represents a hard wall to jump but one can do it.
I said you Venus (conj Uranus in scorpio) opp Moon (Taurus) was an attempt 2007 SReturn chart. (attp natal Leo rising)
“Lynn Hayes on her blog said that a soul mate isn’t someone who is necessarily easy to get along w/, but someone who helps you grow and become better, and that sometimes growth can be a painful process.”
THE REAL TRUTH
Larson at Oscars: Pretty dress, ghastly hair color and even ghastlier hair style! It’s parted on the wrong side and looks as though the hairdresser, about halfway through, decided to go all Veronica Lake with curls at the ends (while the rest remains straight). That pink/red hair color looks very un-natural and wrong. She would look so much better as a brunette. Not a great beauty in my opinion. I’m surprise GC does not have better taste. He would come off looking so much better with a classy, older woman on his arm. I would take him more seriously. This companion? It makes him look sily/insubstantial.
that’s ‘silly’ — yes, i know how to spell.
New Kid wrote, “get the Wellie’s out the shit storm starts tonight with the press fawning all over GC’s Girlfriend Out In Public! It’ Official Their A Couple!

New Kid: I hate to break this to you but the shit storm of fawning all over SL is going to start Oscar night and continue into April. “Leatherheads”, which is being billed as “romantic comedy”, opens wide April 4, with a special premier night attended by the stars and the director of the film on March 31. So with “Leatherheads” promotions needing to take place in advance of these openings, I think the shit storm is going to start Oscar night and continue though for the next 6 weeks.
During this time, the positive spin they’ll put on the GC/SL relationship will be enough to make your skin crawl.
Kelly-Michelle,
Why do you think they’ll be a huge public backlash?
http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/events_gallery2/image_full/53148/
here’s what i mean…
new kid: i think the question you meant to ask is ‘did she dye her OWN hair’, because it looks like a home dye job to me. i just watched the access hollywood clip of their red carpet arrival and OH MY, imho, the lights are on but nobody’s home, folks. it’s scary. she does not seem to enjoy being with him, in fact, she seems detached and not very happy. it’s a strange pairing, if you ask me.
http://video.accesshollywood.com/player/?id=221836
notice when nancy o’dell uses the preggers word, the camera moves in for a brief close up of SL’s tummy, which does seems to bulge a little in that dress. I take back my comment that this is a pretty dress. up close, it’s made of cheap shiny material and looks cardboard stiff. also, because she wore no jewelry, this is not a finished look. this is not a polished or even very sophisticated girl.
frankly, i am stunned that this is all GC wants out of a companion. in contrast, he was very glib, and fast on his feet. he’s nobody’s fool. that came through loud and clear.
i just do not get what he sees here.
Wow, just watched the video of GC at the Clayton press conference being asked perfectly politely by an Italian journalist how he feels about working for Nespresso/Nestle given their appalling Developing World track record…. I speak Italian and it was a perfectly reasonable question asked in a polite way.
What does he mean, I’m not going to answer that because it’s an annoying question? What because it holds you accountable for your actions in the real world and not just on celluloid? Or because it makes you look like a hypocrite? – And those two self righteous, ignorant jerks sitting either side of him are just as bad… Gilroy and I guess the other was his publicist? What a couple of schmucks… so happy to point the finger at corrupt big business as long as it isn’t your own right?… The only person who looked justifiably mortified was Tilda.
Most laughable of all was GC’s claim that you can’t have a go at him for making money once in a while. He has choices, many more than most people and enough money to see him and his kids, kids, kids out. What a bunch of tossers. I’m sorry but that does it for me. I don’t care who he shags/takes to the oscars but when a journalist of the “free press” holds you accountable for your actions and you tell them you can’t be bothered to answer their question because it’s irritating you, you’re a moral wimp. The movies he makes mean nothing if he can perfunctorily brush aside a question as important as that with the reply “I was just making money” good god, does he think we’re a bunch of idiots?
I didn’t even come on here to Clooney bash and have found the comments about his personal life really unpleasant, I don’t have a problem with his girl and i think the people who do are just strange (though oddly fascinating) but to hold yourself up as some corporate whistle blower and then take their money when it suits you, that’s unforgivable – this man has made a career out of criticising people and organisations who do just that, does he think that makes him immune from the same criticism?
What a moral wimp, what a disappointment. Thank god for Nick Broomfield.
1. This photo says it all…Everyone knows she’s a call-girl and George desperately tries to keep her from being photographed with other celebs.
http://www.clooneystudio.com/80th_oscars/clooney_oscars08-073.jpg
That is why they had a private intimate party with no photogs.
2. Notice that only seat fillers sat next to her throughout the ceremony. Celebs usually occupy that row, why were the seats next to her empty? No one wanted to sit next to her.
3.Also, my favorite part of the night, when the announced the Best Actor nominees, she was purposely not shown, even though Daniels Day Lewis wife and Viggo Mortensen little girl were. Depp and Jones were in second rows and they couldn’t pan in on their significant others without including those surrounding them. Sarah was sitting right next to him, why cut her out?
4. Thank God she didn’t speak, she doesn’t need to who is she what has she done?
5. Hell, yes Valentine’s Day was LEAKED to the public. And I still don’t believe he was there on Valentine’s Day, those photos look photoshopped.If they were in a dark room a flash would have been used, no flash on any of them, plus the shadows behind George look unnatural. But that us just my two cents. Sarah leaked the story, because her buddies were probably teasing her. Where’s George? What did he get her Valentine’s Day? So she fabricated the story . George Clooney does not pay for hotel accomadations or food in Vegas, as someone stated earlier. He’s a high-roller, he’s comped for stuff like that. He didn’t even buy her a present, because that would have been leaked as well.
6. The TIME interview, mentions he has a girlfriend but doesn’t name her. Also flying to LV to see her was no big deal, he probably stays at that suite when he comes to visit her anyway. I believe George is trying to keep thing quiet, but his girlfriend isn’t. Most of those rumors are probably generated from her.
6. Backlash, I doubt it… if he keeps thing undercover and pullher out during events, he’ll be fine.
7. That dress was ugly, as a model she doesn’t have any sense of style. She must have paid for that on her own. George could have called Armani and had a dress made for her. They made the worse dress list on Yahoo. Damn George usually makes the best dressed list, well alone he did, with her he didn’t.
Actually the backlash is more than the frontlash (?) her dress is being trashed (Valentino,) Her personality called robotic and restless (Washington Post,) and other than being “shocked” at her being there “he’s brought HER!” “he’s usually never brings a girlfriend (E!.) Also a few comments on her hair –
She’s probably not amused, but she looked absolutely bored throughout the ceremony – she didn’t even hold on to him during the nominee announcement and everytime she was shown on camera she looked drugged. Barely clapping and didn’t even have that idiotic frozen smile on her face. Not even a blank adoring look.
http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/S2008CTR/complete/slideshow/VALENTIN?event=show1682&designer=design_house67&trend=&iphoto=51
The Valentino dress as it was shown at the Spring 2008 Couture show – from what I’m reading Sarah is making it onto alot of the worst dressed lists. She must be so proud. Her quote to the Washington Post when asked about getting ready…
“It’s long.” Not I’m thrilled or it’s fun, it’s LONG. All GC tells her is “we’ll be in soon and there’ll be a drink.”
Also, I might add, I think her modelling photos are very well done. She looks like a little China doll in one and I love the body shot photo. I hope she has good luck with that.
See, I just like to gossip about her and GC, I have no real ill will towards her, I’m still looking for the escort stuff , though :)
To shadow:
“Leatherheads” is supposed to be a romantic comedy, starring by George Clooney and RENEE ZELLWERGER, so what is Renee’s role supposed to be at the promtions events? Tilda was not a leading actress at MC. But this time won’t be able to avoid promoting with the main actress, will he?
(I liked Sarah’s dress)
Sarah’s dress looked like tin foil and paint made by a sewing student.
She could have done better and he could have told her she looked like 3 shower curtains sewn together.
Valentino must be in tears being on so many worst dressed lists.
New kid, can you please post a link to the quotes from the Washington Post (robotic and restless)? Thanks!
new kid: the valentino dress actually looks quite pretty on the model in the spring 2008 show. but SL wore it without the gloves, without the glam earrings, and with her hair down, all of which created a more informal look (the valentino model wore a very formal updo). as a result of these choices, SL looked underdressed, or oddly dressed, and unpolished. for this dress to work, you really do need all the other elements to match the message of the dress. these fashion oversights are small ways in which her inexperience and youth shows. she really does need the advice of an experienced stylist. they need to decide on her style, then stick to it, but don’t go halfway. i think a gucci dress, more modern and hard edged, would have worked for her. she wears black well, so i would have chosen that. something glam, which reminds you of the city she is from — Vegas baby. but if you are going to ‘do’ couture Valentino, then really do it and do it right. another point, this dress is too ‘old’ for SL. she’s young, wear Gucci. her date was too old for her as well. ha ha. looked as though he should have used a stylist too.
I am astonished at all the negative comments regarding Sarah Larson’s appearance at the Oscar’s. She looked beautiful and is a very pretty girl.
George is not gay. They appear to be very fond of each other. As far as her appearing shy-wouldn’t anyone be intimidated by the Oscars? Even famous celebrities get nervous while they are presenting. I think George and Sarah make a stunning couple and hope they are happy together for a very long time.
To the negative posters – can you spell J-E-A-L-O-U-S!!!!!
SL made more of the “Worsed dress lists” than “Best dressed lists” Nick and Nina should be so proud of George’s “girlfriend.” I wonder if this fulfills her contract? I hope she isn’t planning on using this as part of her modeling portfolio. She’s a paid escort if I’ve ever seen one, and yes I have, in the course of my business career I’ve seen many executives men and women use paid escorts. Even the same escort on more than one occasion to give the impression their dating. They paid well, gave all the perks and jewelry the escort wanted, shut up, looked pretty then in some cases blackmailed their “boss” and went away wealthy. I wonder what Sarah’s bonus will be? God I hope she’s just PMS and not pregnant, I still think GC is shooting blanks. Any of his girlfriends would have gotten accidentally preggers by now and not aborted the kid.
@twocents: I totally agree the model looked fabulous, hair done, makeup done and accessorized properly. SL on the other hand looked like she jumped out of her closet and said “ready to go.” Very true on her hair, my first reaction was what-the-f*ck, she can afford anything he pays for and she gets Clariol Herbal Essence dye? She should have used manic panic if she wanted a true orange.
@Sharon: related to them in some way? Jealous? hmmm, pot-kettle-black.
@Spirit: If you get AMC (I don’t know if you are in the U.S.) Clooney was interviewed on a show called “Shootout.” He was discussing making, or not, making money on his films. His aside of which no one picked up was “that’s why I do commercials in Europe.z’
@Shelly: On the red carpet (Ryan annoying Seacrest?) asked about Valentines Day, he said “we spent it with a few of her friends in Vegas.” Not “We had a romantic weekend in Las Vegas.”
“Restless'” The inane glories of the red carpet: Atonement’s 13-year-old Saoirse Ronan doesn’t care what people think about her outfit, George Clooney’s date seemed restless, and Steve Carell claimed to wear $14,000 Spanx. [WP]
