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.

re: Access Hollywood video
She escapes for a few weeks? GC says she can’t take it and she flees?
STRANGE.
Did he actually look upset when she said she escapes?

And Lord have mercy on Sarah “I’m Dating George Clooney” Lawson: Her ugly-ass table-cloth dress was the worst of the worst in my book. You can take the girl out of Fear Factor, but you can’t take the Fear Factor out of the girl. Photo galleries of the Good, Bad, and Ugly of Oscar style, after the jump.
Done for awhile I’ve actually got work to do.
@sharon
The dress is ugly on Sarah Larson as well as the model in Valentino’s show. I don’t think it looks any different on either woman. Sorry, it is just an unattractive dress. Valentino made an ugly dress, he’ll live. I wouldn’t call folks jealous because they say her dress is ugly.
To Mytwocents25: Oh my god, I just watched that “Access Hollywood” clip you posted and I’m shocked. That was thoroughly uncomfortable to watch! They both seem completely ill at ease There are clearly moments when George is intentionally avoiding Nancy Odells questions. That was just so odd.
ahem, well i just looked at the washington post and in one of the articles they do refer to her dress as a ‘shower curtain’. however, i could find nothing that said she was ‘robotic and restless’ or any other similar phrasing, although those words came to mind when watching one of those red carpet videos.
sharon —
each to their own assessment of SL’s fashion statement. i would not go out with my hair plastered to my skull like that. instead, i would add more volume at the roots, which would add height and also soften the strong masculine features (especially the jawline). otherwise you run the risk of looking like a borderline tranny. i am just saying (all jealous like)…
also, did anyone see the ROCK? geez. like he stepped right out of the pages of a comic book.
anyone see russell crowe? he can do NOOOO wrong, though he’s put on a lot of weight for the movie he’s filming in L.A.
final comment on this: they both looked very middle America (almost frumpy). i expect better!

GEORGE CLOONEY and his girlfriend SARAH LARSON left the Academy Awards on Sunday (24Feb08) empty-handed – because the movie star refuses to accept free gifts.
The Michael Clayton star avoids gift suites at awards shows and parties because he doesn’t want to be seen as being greedy.
And, if he’s ever sent a free gift, he gives it away to charity.
Clooney tells Time magazine, “I’ve been smart about that. Rich famous people getting free s**t looks bad. You look greedy. And I don’t need a cell phone with sparkles on it.”
How pissed must SL be that she doesn’t get free jewelry and crap? I hope he’s good in bed, she isn’t getting much. Obviously not the wardrobe, hair care or jewelry
Hey Sharon, can you spell L-A-B-I-A ….
because Larson’s got better reviews than her Oscar dress did.
Far from jealousy, she has my pity right about now. The fashion media are a lot more unforgiving than other types entertainment outlets, and Larson is learning that that hard today. They are currently slamming her for the dress, slamming her for how she walks, the blank expression on her face, that she looks cheap in thousands of dollars worth of clothes, that she’s out of her league, the fact that she never talks and when she does she doesn’t sound very bright. They caught her whining to GC about her dress, whining about how long it was taking. NEVER let the press catch you whining at an event like that. They didn’t like her hair, they didn’t like her makeup, they didn’t like her dress, they didn’t like her personality.
In the bizarre world of Hollywood they don’t mind so much if your crotch hangs out of your skirt, but do NOT wear the wrong dress to the Oscars. Larson is an adult and walked into this with her eyes wide open. With many outlets of the media she has GC’s clout and protection so they keep quiet about her negatives. But the fashion media is another beast altogether. It’s a zero sum game and on one of the biggest fashion platforms of the year, she lost. Everyone who walks the red carpet is subjected to the same scrutiny. Thumbs up they love you. Thumbs down they hate you. There’s very little middle ground. Larson isn’t exempt from the game of Russian Roulette that is the fashion world. She’s not special. And yesterday she found that out.
If she can’t handle it she should go back to spokes modeling her genitals to middle-aged drunks who don’t give a shit what she’s wearing.
Worst Oscar Promise: George & Sarah
http://www.laineygossip.com/George_Clooney_Sarah_Larsen_Oscars_2008.aspx
If you’re George Clooney, the King of Hollywood, and you bring a girl to the Oscars, it is for real. Like a promise ring. Like a varsity jacket in high school. A global announcement on showbiz’s grandest stage – George shouted it out tonight confirming that this is more than a 6 month contract for a paid escort.
This is a new Pretty Woman…although Sarah Larsen is NOT Julia Roberts.
Because if she was Julia Roberts she’d be able to clean up real nice. Unfortunately, some girls can never shake the stink of Vegas and the air of the “sale”. Sarah Larsen has been bought. She has been paid for. Whatever happens after this, at the very least, she’ll have her own apartment purchased in cash.
You’d think with all that money though he could afford to get her a better dress? A front row seat at the Oscars next to George Clooney and this is what she wore? Hotel upholstery – this is what she wore???
Waste. Cheap. Vegas Girl forever. This is what George wants.
And he looked awful last night. The photos do him too much justice. Skin was horrid. Like he’s spent a week in Vegas paying for sex. Time to hit the spa, I think.
Having said that, I will offer this about George Clooney: the man is the consummate professional. Unlike so many other A listers – and he’s the most A of them all these days – George arrived 90 minutes before the start of the show.
He worked the photo wall first, then backtracked to the media outlets, stopping to talk to virtually everyone on the carpet, not heading into the theatre until just before countdown.
And why is this impressive? Because so many of them are brats these days. They simply want to be photographed without playing the talking game.
George never, ever disappoints in this regard. This is why he just might be the last great movie star.
PS. Did I mention Sarah Larsen is mute? I’m telling you – the girl knows what she’s doing. She will never overreach. She will never ask for a ring and a proposal. Do they have a school for these things? Someone needs to teach Jessica Biel.
Didn’t (most) of his girls leave because they got tired of “waiting for the ring?”
I wonder if Lainey is here, sounds like all we’ve been typing all along.
As has been said prior HE GOT WHAT HE PAID FOR no more, no less.
Sarah should take one of those breaks for a few weeks, hell of a thing to say on the red carpet in front of press, on television, that will be replayed for a long while. The girl has no taste, George hung her out to dry. He could have given her a stylist no matter how cranky she was about the issue, assuming she was. If there was a stylist involved in this s/he should be shot.
Tim Gunn called it a shower curtain, E! Fashion Police said “she still looks like a cocktail waitress.” Even the French waitress GC dated started looking better and better as their relationship progressed. More proof you can buy sex but not taste
Sarah is clueless how to swim with the sharks, she’s used to old guys paying her to do what they want, she’s never had to think for herself and GC is an insecure middle-aged guy who is always reaching down for a girl since he it’s easier than reaching out or up for a woman.
Note the difference.
Shadow, Spirit, Amazing. Where the hell am I anyway, la la land? I saw one red carpet photo of SL with her 2 foot long neck exposed and her eyes staring straight up to heaven — probably looking for fairies!! Not a few here have their knickers in a twist over her “fashion”, not to mention our boy George’s sartorial non-splendor. Lainey said it best: This girls doesn’t even know she deserves a ring! It could not be clearer. Charles (see above) said it worst. Getting ‘any tail you want’ is your idea of having made it to the big time? Really? What a butthead… may your sack get slammed by a toilet seat the next time you take a crap.
just watched several of the videos on clooneystudio (dot com, duh). biggest problem is keeping her mouth closed so the flies don’t get in. is it just me, or is her head flat on top? dang, that’s so weird. that publicist is such a munchkin!
Shadow – ROTFLMAO – that spelling comment was the best comeback I’ve read in a long time! :-) Sharon must be one of Sarah’s friend’s or relatives that pop up every once in a while to defend her.
Reminds me of the moms of gang members. You know, the ones that give the local news reporter an interview right after their son or daughter is either arrested or shot by police!
Their kids have got gang signs tattooed on their foreheads, they seem to have tons of money with no discernible means of income, they duck whenever a police car drives by their house, shots ring out close to their homes on a regular basis and eventually they either get arrested or shot. But their mom’s always defend them, “Oh no, my son/daughter is not a gang member!” Despite the fact that it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck… they defend their kids to the end! Seems to be the case with the Sharon’s of the world and Sarah.
George is a stubborn man. He’s probably well aware of all the negative comments that are being generated due to his relationship with Sarah. He’ll stick it out just to show everyone that nobody is going to tell him who he should date.
Someone made an astute comment a few posts ago – George is not looking to get married, all he wants from Sarah is companionship, sex and (when he’s ready) for her to leave without a fuss.
That’s what guys in his position pay for – the “leave with no fuss” part – because it’s a given that he could have sex with any number of women who don’t know how truly skanky some of his dates/girlfriends have been. But then he takes the chance of the gal getting her feelings hurt, getting angry and getting even.
Spirit made the following comment above:
“…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?”
Spirit’s comment was based on the Nepresso/Nestle issue. Yet it also describes what I’ve been saying for months about his choice of dates. Different issue; same outcome – brings to light his lack of integrity and in my eyes, no amount of PR can fix that.
Sad really that someone who is so well-known, who has so much potential to do good, who has reached a position of power in his profession and instead of being an example of all that he preaches in his films, he decides to become a self-fulfilling prophecy – how does the saying go? Power corrupts – and absolute power corrupts, absolutely.
Julia, how the hell did you manage to lump me in with Amazing?
As for the rest of your post …. I can’t figure out what the hell it is you’re going on about.
I don’t really care about the woman thing, she’s great looking and I expect she does as she’s advised when the press are about so what more is there to know?
I just can’t see how you can justify making money in ways that undermine what you’re supposed to be about – that’s just ridiculous, if he didn’t create this image of himself as a moral standard bearer it wouldn’t be a big deal but this is the guy who’s made it his business to point the finger – that means you have to live by your own standards – that is if you want people’s respect. He doesn’t have to take money from Nestle for god’s sake, whether his films make a profit or not, he’s minted.
It was also pretty disrespectful to dismiss the journalist as though she was being impertinent – she was brave snouth to ask a difficult question, isn’t that what he so admired Murrow and his own father for? Isn’t that what he says we should all do? Isn’t that what he’s proud he did re: the Iraq War? It’s blatant hypocrisy and movie star gittish-ness. Get a grip George or at least think about who and why you’re taking money from so that in future, if you do get asked, you can at least have an intelligent conversation about it…
shadow — i was making (what i thought was) a smart ass comment about the ethereal nature of some of the names being used here (spirit, shadow, etc.). i’m not implying that you have the same take on this relationship as amazing.
no wonder sarah didn’t get along with u. wat kind of gentleman refers to women and old ladies as “broads,” “ho’s,”and “dick’s”? No gentleman, you’re an asshole and your friends were probably assholes too, which is why sarah couldn’t stand ya’ll.
it’s so sad that after all this time you’re still pathetic, bagging on her because she was a dancer, like you’re a saint.
yor jealousy and bitterness is so obvious. you’re a liar too, you say you didn’t tell your story for money or fame, but all we hav is your word and considering your nasty personality, obvious envy, and sexist attitude, your word isn’t worth shit.
HAHAHA! ENJOY BEING A LOSER, HATER!

We’re astonished by how much George Clooney’s current girlfriend Sarah Larson resembles his exgirlfriend Celine Balitran. And coincidentally, both were waitresses. He met his longtime love Celine in Paris and they lived together for almost 3 years until 1999. He warned her that he wasn’t interested in marriage and eventually she believed him. When they split he gave her a house and cash to pay a visa lawyer. Since George seems to repeat himself, we wonder if his romance with Sarah end up the same way. George says he’s a better EXboyfriend than he is boyfriend.

yeah you sound kinda bitter. life’s too short. who cares if people make a big deal out of her and who cares if she’s dating someone famous? if you don’t like her, then who cares if she mentions where she came from or does or doesn’t mention people or places from her past? i was just curious about her roots and when i googled her name i got this bitter blog about her past. i really didn’t read all of it because it’s a bit more than i (or anyone else) needed to know. but from what i did read it sounds like you’re bitter because she’s on the verge of being very famous and you’re not. anyway, despite her past, she’s obviously getting on with her life. maybe you should too…quit hatin’!
‘All tastes are in nature’ ..french expression.
You are indeed as a herd of hungry hyenas.
Crissy : I share your opinion.
Big drama here for a simple dress!!! lol..my god…I think that problem was not the dress, in fact it is the lack of hairstyle, she should have made a ‘chignon’ with curls etc…and this green is not the best choice for ther…but she is cute anyway and romantic.
I love Valentino Style and this dress is one of his creation.
Anyway.
C.
I wish Sara well, she lives my DREAM!! It is like she won the lotto!! GC is a HOTTTIE!! We all have a past, but she seems like a good soul!! Thanks for all this info about her!!

Larson, Clooney the royal couple
And the Oscar for the most envied woman in the world goes to …?
We’re guessing it would be Las Vegas model Sarah Larson by a landslide, after she shined as one of the golden girls of Oscar night.
Larson, 28, didn’t win one of the coveted statuettes, but when you’re parading down the red carpet with boyfriend George Clooney and sitting in the front row, you’ve hit the lottery of Hollywood royalty.
The former cocktail server at Moon nightclub at the Palms has been dating Clooney since things heated up in June at the Las Vegas premiere of “Ocean’s Thirteen.”
Larson, who grew up in Washington state and won NBC’s “Fear Factor” in 2005, was stunning in a beaded ice blue, pale pink and gold Valentino provided by the designer.
Her hair was styled by Las Vegas stylist and makeup artist Melissa Conner, who said she went with “classic Hollywood glamour, a modern version of Veronica Lake or Rita Hayworth.”
The floral dress “made such a statement,” said Conner, “that we definitely wanted to go with a clean, fresh look.”
Much is being made of the appearance being the first time Clooney, 46, has taken a girlfriend to the Oscars.
When Larson, 28, told red carpet reporters that the dress was “really heavy,” Clooney made a gallant offer.
“I will carry her,” he said.
(source: Las Vegas Review Journal)
That stylist SHOULD BE SHOT and returned to Vegas to continue to work on the showgirls and escorts that actually think that look was attractive.

Check out the picture of SL with her real hair color.
Well, even I am shocked, cynical black hearted bastard that I am. The real issue here is Stan Rosenfield, his publicist. This guy should be fired. One of the most important things a publicist can do is control his client, make sure he doesn’t do anything stupid or at least have a Plan B when he does. Even if he couldn’t dissuade him from bringing her, he should have at least prepped her to sound like she had more intelligence than an idiot child. They’re all easy stock phrases for questions she’s heard a million times before: “oh I’m so excited to be here,” or “I’m so proud of George,” or how about, “it’s so exciting to see so many of my favorite actors,” Any time she opened her mouth was a cringe-worthy moment, i.e., “I just follow him” or my personal favorite, “oh, I’m, uh, fine.”. You just don’t act bored and disinterested on the Red Carpet, you don’t pop the smile on and off like a light switch, you don’t sit in the front row of the Academy Awards and clap like you forgot you had hands. Even call girls and escorts who have done the Red Carpet know better. Rosenfield is well aware of the negative feelings about her and how it’s lurking just beneath the surface of the glad-handing press, waiting for that day when Clooney topples (you’ve got to have a great topple if you’re going to have a great comeback). He should have Plan B’ed with, ‘she had the flu’ or ‘she has a brain tumor’, ANYTHING that would have kept her from looking like she had the personality of a pole lamp, but not as bright. And then get her out of town and out of the crosshairs.
Everyone’s talking shit and ironically using the terms “hater” and “jealous” all over again. To address the jealousy aspect first, I’m not the one who wishes they were fucking George Clooney, think about it.
I’ll start off by addressing “had time to kill” I guess. I probably shouldn’t but here it goes. You accused me of being a “liar”. I don’t even get that at all…honestly. If I took money from the tabloids I would have had a 3 month gag order legally in place. I don’t recall painting myself as a saint. I mention more questionable events about my history than hers on this site, but the difference is that I don’t look at mine as negetive. “Bagging on her for being a dancer”? I didn’t do that. Think about the time frame that this was written. I wrote this in September. I may be the only honest representation on the internet right now. I know people who intentionally planned to hype her up in the media to promote themselves and keep their “music” or meal ticket in the media and these were people that told me that they had plans to trash her later and that often despised her. I was just contacted via email by OK magazine at the end of last week. They want to talk with me about her dad. This is the fourth publication to contact me at this point. If anything, I tried to buffer this type of bullshit, even if it was on 1 little post on a tiny website. Her dad’s death shouldn’t be exploited and as far as my confirmation that she was a dancer, I didn’t say she was a hooker. The rest of the world claimed that and started posting the scandalous photos of her nightclub days. This was all spilling out and nobody, except your dumbass perhaps, buys the whole “this girl is a perfect angel” routine. They played it off that way and then photos and backstory’s showed up. That’s when people trip. That’s why there is a backlash on George Clooney because people believed a certain PR spin for years and are realizing that they created a super human in their own minds out of a normal guy due to advertising tactics. I said that I did not believe that she was a hooker, I mentioned that she put her self through school. If anyone’s character should be questioned it is the family that more or less disowned her in the past until she started dating an aging actor. If I would have called her a saint and then those photos came out, I would be getting attacked for that. I was very restrained, believe it or not, with my article. Very restrained. As far as her not getting along with us…I don’t know where you got that from either. I think that she realized that she had less friends than she originally thought she had after she left Tommy for another friend of ours. There wasn’t a whole lot of sympathy from the people around her at that point. If Sarah was raking in cash for her painting or charitble work I would think that was great. To be making a name for herself as a trophy girl doesn’t reflect well on anyone as proven through the comments strewn across the internet. My article represents her with human qualities so it may seem more personal than others and that’s where I feel attacks on my character come from. She isn’t god damn Santa Clause. Guess what she’s not superhuman sorry to kill the illusions. Yeah she has a past as a normal person with some twists and turns and although you attack me and feel it necessary to let me know that, you should think about the fact that I intentionally planted that attack in your mind. I humanized her and no other site is really doing that. She’s a whore or a heroine but, either way, she’s basically a painted up cartoon everywhere else. Since she doesn’t speak or do much in the media the only way for anyone to relate is to not relate at all and to turn it into a cinderella story because it’s easier to digest. The psychology behind Hollywood and human lives is depressing. Even tragedy doesn’t have a human quality. George Clooney’s awards and “humanitarian” duties, unfortunately, bring the focus to him and not to the causes enough. I don’t even blame him for it, but it turns him into Batman in real life. Maybe this isn’t a situation of bad PR. Maybe it’s a situation where he’s saying fuck the PR. I am getting a god complex and it’s not good for myself. I’m gonna date this girl and tell the media to eat a dick regardless. Just maybe. It’s a wierd thing to live up to and, judging by the impressive selections that actually were nominated for academy awards this year, substance won out. Being a golden boy can work against you and paint you in a “teachers pet” style light I’m sure.
Crissy–
You asked about who cares who she dates? You do. You looked her up because she’s dating George Clooney. Once again folks, the only reason that it matters that I turned down the tabloids is because you found me and this site and not the other way around. If I was in the tabloids I would be delivering my story to your front doors and check-stands. For me to type one article about a situation that pertains to my life on my own site and for the traffic to blow up like this, it was searched and hunted out by you. Don’t project your interest and guilt of interest onto me. Also, if you are not going to read the entire article but still feel the need to comment on shit that you haven’t even read, it’s no surprise. The laziness is reflected in your need to fuck an image on a magazine cover vicariously through someone else and, even more indirectly, through me.
htk: DeadC doesn’t need anyone to defend him but what that hell, I “had time to kill”.
All DeadC has done is write one single article on a blog filled with articles on a wide range of subjects. He turned down the opportunity to sell the story (I guess you missed that part) and is now doing nothing more than permitting people to submit comments free of charge. He hasn’t even written a second article. It’s members of the public like myself, and YOU, who are continuing to post comments on this topic and perpetuate the original page. All DeadC is doing is moderating our comments like he does for all his other articles. Yeah, that’s milking this cash cow for all its worth.
As for Larson, on the other hand, feast your eyes on the levels to which she has lowered herself for easy money and instant attention: danced on a pole, hung upside down, drank blood, ate bugs, served drinks half naked, and posed with her crotch bared from both angles. All for public exposure, all for cash. Yet DeadC is the fame whore? That’s a very difficult argument to make, no wonder you couldn’t make one.
Julie: Thanks for the explanation! I share your love of smart ass comments and am honored to be a part of yours.
Debbie Does Detroit: Larson’s is not a difficult dream to achieve. All you have to do is be willing to debase and humiliate yourself for anyone who asks you to — as long as they’re offering money — and this too can be your “fairytale”.
new kid — enjoying your passion and all the fun links. she looks much better as a brunette — like 10 times better. so it looks like that “can’t-hold-a-comb-for-the-life-of-me” stylist WAS trying for a Veronica Lake look (as someone surmised earlier). What they came up with was a truly pathetic half-assed imitation of that style. And the infantile (pale blue, pale pink or whatever) colors of that dress didn’t work for me, because when you are out with your sugar daddy and there’s a 20 year age diff (almost), don’t wear something that makes you look like you just hopped out of your bassinet. Bleah.
poolside — well said. she really wasn’t properly prepped for the event and as a result, came off as incredibly self-absorbed, distracted, and even at times disinterested. I was embarrassed for George. Agree, cringe-worthy moments.
She doesn’t know she deserves a ring; he doesn’t know he deserves better.
I’d say it’s a (weirdly equal) match up!
(takes bow)
Actually, it is just slow at the office AND I find this whole relationship completely interesting in the same way as one cannot pass a car wreck without stopping to see the carnage.
I think it is a given this will end, the next round after we all buy a vowel is to predict HOW the car wreck will occur.
Anyone know if GC has or will purchase a penthouse at the Palms?
http://www.palmsplace.com/
That’s the place with the Playboy suite, the one where the hanging out with her friends on VD.
I agree SL looks so much better with the dark hair.
Hey yo – siseque, organzeitu, cloud, peteramal, etc, etc (sorry loves if I left you out) ….
Re: SL and GC on Oscar’s night ….. I think IMDB did most assuredly have it in for me. They wiped out ALL of my comments ever made since I opened the account over 2 years ago. They’re ALL gone! They took away personal message privileges – the works. I have switched emails since having opened the account, so they sent me no messages to my email. A-holes. Instead, they’re asking for credit card info and I think I know why. They want to know who the fuck I am because then they WILL have my name, which I am not about to reveal. I have a few theories on that and I will get to that in a moment.
SL was seen Oscar Sunday losing her coolness. We noticed messy unkempt hair, her lips kept trembling around her horse teeth as she smiled, no talking at all, and even turned a few shades of red in several interviews. Methinks the public eye has caught up to her. I posted a comment there that maybe there’s a distinct possibility that GC lost money at the casino and was given a get out of jail free card in exchange for a little “promotion” (notice SL HASN’T quit her job). All the plugging for them on V-day seemed not only out of place but a little more than out of character. I hypothesized that maybe someone’s got his fist tightly wrapped around GC’s balls and he CAN’T side step this matter (or at least up until Oscar’s time). I FURTHER believe in something even more suspicious after having watched the red carpet interview online given by Regis (not the George Pennachio interview which was telling enough). Regis asked something or other about what’s it like going out with George and George ONCE AGAIN cut her off and said, “Oh, it was just a bet” and then laughed really deeply while Sarah turned red and laughed almost nervously, trying to slough it off quickly. I honestly think there’s more truth to George’s comment than not. Consider that this is the same person who LAUGHED about her flying off the motorcycle on the Late Show with David Letterman and has never been seen out with her WITHOUT his publicist. He doesn’t care AT ALL about her and to be honest with you, she looked more than a little agitated at being there at the Oscar’s, just as he seemed agitated to be seen with her. No warmth there whatsoever and at least they put on a slightly better show at the outset. They didn’t even do her hair or maybe, she had decided it wasn’t worth the facade any longer. She seemed like she wanted the whole thing to be over with …. most obviously in that after smiling for cameras, she’d turn her head and relax her face and lips. As soon as she’d turn back for the camera, she’s flash her horse teeth again (I noticed she can’t really close her mouth around them right, too). It was as if she was trying to milk it for as much face time as possible. There could have also been another kind of bet – one that was placed by George and Stan to see just how long and how much they could pull the wool over the media’s eyes by dragging around and escort on the red carpets.
But here’s where it creeps me out. And maybe it’s just the drama queen in my gay-ass self. This all has got to be leaving a few wounds on this girl’s soul. Not that I feel badly at all for her skank-ass, but everyone does have feelings. She either has to be that incredibly stupid that she has no cares whatsoever about her image, her health, her integrity, her reputation OR the veneer of the girl-for-hire is slowly drifting away into a deep depression as she comes to realize that this is all she’s ever gonna get from it and can barely hide it while standing around at the Oscar’s that SHOULD leave a REAL GIRLFRIEND excited and bubbly and boisterous and HAPPY. Her’s was the face of none of that. Her’s was a face of someone told to guard her words and to keep herself in check and to PRETEND to look happy and smiling even though she looked like she had been emotionally dragged through a rain gutter. That, and a smeared reputation that over 20 different websites have referenced her as a “whore”, “skank”, “stripper’, “pole dancer”, “escort”, “horse face”, etc. etc. And I ask, where does a person GO after a stint like this? Krista Allen at least had a small bit of a career and monies from her Emmanual series, Lisa Snowden went back to hosting, Celine apparently got a settlement and could still finish in law. SL’s got a degree but apparently doesn’t want to use it. Going back to “promotions” as we shall put her hiring status will only further people’s notion that she IS an escort and we all know that at 29 and no real profound beauty she will NEVER have a modeling career. And GC will never marry her. You can’t have a second chance at making first impressions and her’s was introduced to him as a girl-for-hire. he could NEVER take her seriously. EVER! She sold her body and soul out again for a small chunk of change. Sound familiar??? Did she not do the same thing in selling her desperate self out to Fear Factor? And now that that money’s gone at 29 years old she hustles for a casino!!! Where do you go from there??? Hustle out to a Saudi Arabian with money and get married and move out of the U.S. is about all she can do. She’s literally painted herself into a corner that doesn’t really have an exit. It donned on me today that given her family “history”, her need for attention/fame, and her total lack of regard for better judgment lends credibility to the notion – as DeadC pointed out her temperamental nature – that this girl is a suicide waiting to happen. Sorry to be morbid, but she’s got nothing. Nowhere to go with a completely soiled reputation. I don’t feel sorry for her – she’s learned a tough lesson or two or three or ninety, but for someone already living in Lala land between feeding fairies milk and gallivanting around the planet under the facade that she was a movie star’s girlfriend when clearly she is not, this girl isn’t seeing that all opportunities for a satisfying life are all but just about GONE. So we wonder, in years to come will we hear of an overdose, a drug bust, an abusive husband, or just a girl who settled for having a relationship with other women because “men just never treated her right”. Jesus. Talk about daddy issues. I feel a lump of poop forming in my rectum.
(Edited by Dead C for mentioning personal names and info as requested via email by multiple other posters)
Good riddance! IMDB is monitored by a bunch of obvious Republicans anyways.
I believe there was an article written that because GC took SL to the Oscars it is the real deal. He himself said this is only the second time he had walked the red carpet. So how does that make her the one? He should have taken a blow-up doll, the intelligence and the out come at the end of the night would have been the same. This of course is just my opinion.
Everytime they were asked about their Valentine date, he always said they spent it with friends of hers. As far as wanting to buy the beach property, it got all the way to one reporter saying it was owned by Nick Cage. The snowball keeps getting bigger.
http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news?id=13272
Apparently Sarah has not been the only girl George has asked to the Oscars. Didn’t think she was so I thought I would check the internet to find out. Not sure if she went, but she was asked.
Julia: Called you “Julie” by mistake. My apologies, love.
Poolside: Tell me about it! That girl couldn’t field a question to save her life. When you’re asked if you’re enjoying your time as George Clooney’s girlfriend, the correct answer is, “Yes it’s wonderful. I’m very happy.” Larson’s mind-boggling answer: “Yeah, for the most part. Every now and then I run away and escape and hide for a few weeks.” WHAT?? What the hell kind of answer is that?!
The first time SL went AWOL for a month was in mid-December. The second time was immediately after that (mid-January after the NBR awards). Now if you’re only three and half months into a relationship and you have to separate for a month at a time just to cope with it, that’s a sad enough fact in and of itself. The last thing you do is draw attention to it by telling the press about it, and on the red carpet no less. Poor Stan is trying to sell this thing as a love story and her answer just shot that right in the foot.
After seeing SL on “live”, I have to tell you: I’m starting to love the girl. If she is acting the whole “relationship” thing, she is doing a great job. The dumb expression, the no-word performance, the no-classy, the all-wrong about her, the boring voice, the forever-wasted smile. The evident hundreds, thousands gossips comments wrote on every newspaper or in the web about the new couple. The last one thing indicate “media attention”. It’s all fine.
On the other hand, if SL is “real”, well… she is an ordinary, very shy, not brilliant at all but so nice girl, as we can see every day in a market, near us in the queue, or waiting for her bus at the bus stop. She is so normal that she is adorable. And it’s not a joke. From today, I’ll team SL!
About Mr. Clooney, we all know now he loves the normal/cheap girl because she is easy to buy and to hush up (keep in silence? I apologise for my English) or, because of the obvious non-available “deal” he could sign with some high intellectual woman, the same woman could dump him anytime and tell to the Media about his real private life. So he doesn’t need or want more troubles. Nothing new.
We know now GC doesn’t like to buy stunning dresses (for my opinion: SL’s dress was “plain”, standard, as she is. I’ve seen dozen of worst dresses on the Red Carpet) or jewels to his girlfriend because he loves to be the only one “bitch” on the spotlight, and for that he is not that smart (always thought he was a very smart guy). We know now that GC is an ordinary, insecure middle-aged man who can’t provide to himself a gorgeous, clever woman, because he is worried the same woman could get over him. Or leave him and hurt him in any way. Nothing new again.
The real issue is: he has a girlfriend he likes, or he loves. He wanted this girl walking on the fame with him and maybe living close to him, he brought her with him to the Oscars. More, forgive me for this, he has got a lot of publicity for his next upcoming movie. It’s all fine.
However, his twisted way of life sounds too much odd, lately.
If GC has what he wants, now, WHY he ALWAYS looks so awful when SL is around him? He found a girl he likes enough to share the public attention with, but why doesn’t he allow her to speak? Why he seems so uncomfortable? Why he gets nervous, why he feels sooooo scared about any word she could say? Why he seems so embarrassed? Why he sometimes needs to get drunk or… Jesus… get into drugs, to tolerate the pressure of his own monster? So, at the end all this thing is really fake?
The last one: why is he damaging himself, his image and SL’s image so seriously? Or why his PR is going to ruin GC’s image with all this mess? (with GC’s connivance, of course).
I forgot: starting a very important speech at the Oscars with an: “Ehm… Hi, guys!!!”, hands in your pockets and with a strange light in your eyes (alcohol abuse before the Ceremony?), it’s pretty weird but hilarious ;-)
I don’t know. In the past I appreciated GC “persona” for his capacity of joking about himself and his status. Now, GC is not joking about himself, he is ridiculing himself. That’s bad.
I work in the Biz and I can say that all this stuff sounds to me like a GC breakdown, that means a Media pre-suicide or an incoming GC falling down for the same Media. Hope for him I’m wrong and hope he can get well soon.
Hey, Hollywood Insiders there! Is it true that GC got mad to the amazing Daniel Day-Lewis after the Oscar Event? I have red somewhere that a drunk George screamed to Daniel: “Never, ever touch my head again!”, or something like that. It’s just a stupid rumour? Please, let me know
URA: Holy chocolate Jesus what the hell was that? Listen, I dislike that girl, I really do but that whole suicide riff you went on there was disturbing. I want this girl to stop lying or go away, but I don’t want any harm to come to her by her own hand or anyone else’s. I, too, don’t think her life is going to be that easy when this thing with Clooney ends. I think it’s going to be very difficult for her and more doors will be closed to her than she realizes. A lot of the public really despises her now and that’s going to be devastating for someone who craves attention the way she does. It’s her own damn fault, but it’s not going to be easy. I wrote a post about that a little while ago. But just because you’re a liar and a hypocrite doesn’t mean you’re in for the fate you described. No one should have that coming just because they lie and misrepresent themselves to the public. What they deserve is to be removed from the public spotlight and public adulation until they’ve actually done something to earn it. The problem is when you go after her that hard, you’re actually going to incur sympathy for her from people like me, who utterly can’t stand her. JMO.

DeadC,
I hope you did not take my comment about being jealous as being directed at you. You wrote an honest and quite amusing blog which we all enjoyed reading (and rereading) that gave us some insight into this “mystery” person Sarah. No, I don’t believe in any way you are jealous of Sarah. While I love reading this blog and check in daily I just get astonished at the pure hatred directed at Sarah by some posters. I enjoy everyone’s comments whether I agree with them or not but I just can’t believe some of the comments about her looks, teeth, etc!
OMG!!!…this is so funny!!!LMAO…holy, i haven’t been this entertained in along time! btw Deadc you are fabulous…you are taking this way better than i would …knock the dick out of your mouth!!! OMG…And justwannapokemyeyesout LOL…you are hysterical…i am amazed at who responded…and how… or why more accurately (pls excuse my typos, I’m laughing to hard to care)!
Even if he accidentally fell in and took his time getting out what make you think she could hold his interest? Really, she looks just what she is and after the melee this little wannabee is stirring up she will be gone…he doesn’t really want to defend his own lifestyle…why would he defend hers and be subject to the same digging in his?
daffy —
i am screaming with laughter at the photo showing George’s missing tooth.
“o’ brother where art thou” hick-style dentistry??? “beverly hills hillbilly”?? heh heh.
think it’s photoshopped? i ask, because his dentist would surely have put in a temporary.
unless he went to my dentist, who accidentally put a crown on the WRONG TOOTH. then railed about how his patients are such shits because they sue. though i miss how he use to stare at my breasts as I lay in that chair. take what i can get.
Julia-
it’s not photoshopped !!
You can see it in an video (i don’t remember which one ?)

With different pics…(LONG)
She’s gone from serving cocktails to walking the red carpet at the Oscars — and she’s somehow managed to snag the world’s most eligible bachelor, George Clooney. So who is this Sarah Larson? And how did she accomplish these miraculous feats?
Well, before she was decked out in diamonds and couture, she was pouring drinks at the Palms in Las Vegas.
Sarah worked at the Palms Casino hotel, first as a cocktail waitress at Ghost (this picture was taken at an event at the hotel in July 2006), then as a VIP hostess at another N9NE Group club in the hotel, Moon, where “She would bring in clients to the club,” a source told PageSix.com. “The hosts are like salespeople and they help create an atmosphere at a party.”
“She’s really cool,” a former regular customer told PageSix.com. “She’d take shots of tequila with us, we always asked for her to be our waitress. All the girls who worked at the club, they were all hot, obviously, but everyone asked for Sarah as their server. George Clooney isn’t the first guy to notice her, you know.”
She dated Las Vegas media mogul Ryan Doherty, who owns 944 magazine, for about a year, but that was before George walked into her life.
Sarah, 29, met the Oscar winner at the premiere of Ocean’s 13 at the CineVegas film festival on June 7, 2007; there was a party for the cast at Moon. As luck would have it, Sarah served him drinks.
An insider says that George, 46, was so smitten that he tracked down the manager, Daryl, and begged him to let Sarah leave work early to hang out with him. “And everyone knows you don’t say no to George,” the Palms insider tells PageSix.com.
After they met, she continued working, but kept talking to George. “He’d give her a call and say, ‘Fly out for the weekend, come visit,’ and Sarah would go see him,” a friend tells PageSix.com.
But a few months later, as their relationship progressed, Sarah quit her $200,000-plus job to be with George (she’s pictured at right working at Ghost in July 2005) — a risky move, but one that anyone who saw the couple at the Oscars would agree has paid off. “He didn’t tell her to quit her job, just at some point they had a conversation about it when things got serious,” another friend says.
“She still has her house in Vegas that she sometimes goes back to, but ever since the motorcycle accident [in September 2007], they’ve been pretty much going everywhere, from his house in Lake Como, his house in Malibu, to Dubai, the Venice Film Festival, et cetera. She’s been exposed to this new lifestyle, hanging with George and his friends, which include Brad [Pitt] and Angelina [Jolie], Matt [Damon] and Luciana [Barroso],” another friend explained.
“She’s like a really cool chick. She’s hot, cool, strong and independent,” this friend of Sarah’s added.
There’s definitely something about this Sarah, who has succeeded where so many of George’s previous women — including actress Krista Allen, British TV host Lisa Snowdon and Renée Zellweger — have failed. Nobody would’ve ever guessed that a winner of a reality TV show (Fear Factor) would be the one to win the heart of Hollywood’s most notorious bachelor.
Shadow – I only say that because look at what happened to that poor desperate screwed up contestant on American Idol that was arrested and shit. Hey, you know just as well as I know your comments, that I can be extreme. True. I am not trying to hail sympathy for SL. I am just saying that for someone who’s made desperate attempts for fortune and fame by eating bugs and eating bums and eating dick and etc, etc, etc, and has done so successfully with very very very fleeting moments of each, this girl will be seething when it’s all said and done. Her discomfort was already being displayed physically and verbally on the red carpet. If we already hear of a temper and she’s publically announcing how she has to run away from George for a month or so, etc, etc we already know she’s bored, perturbed, disturbed, whatevs. The unhappiness is so palpable that surely some kind of heat is slowly starting to boil in her blood. You very well know at this point, given her history, that she will HAVE TO do something desperate for attention and if she doesn’t get it, the self destruction will set in. It does for must how taste of fame and then lose it. It’s like losing a loved one. Fame is a bitch for some. Look at the people who were once stars and once had marked careers that just dried up and blew away. Some tripled their weight, some turned to addictions, some moved far away from Hollywood limelight, and some did themselves in. If she doesn’t have a small bit of a game plan, she will self destruct in some way, no doubt. Don’t feel sorry for her, no. I’m just sayin’ …….
Shadow,
My guess would be Stan is the one who fed her the line about needing to “get away for awhile”, although probably more eloquently to explain why she was noticably absent at some of George’s appearances and to explain why after being photographed every freaking week together we don’t see them together for awhile.(the oscar votes were already in I am guessing)
To NewKid: Out of many of the responses on this site I have read, the comment about “driving past the car wreck” finally helped me to figure out why I have kept hitting my refresh on my browser repetitively this week on these crazy stories about the “GC and SL show”, and to overcome this four-day weird obsession with people I don’t even know. Thank you.
Shadow: You are correct! I believe there is a famous movie line that went like “If someone asks you if you are a god, you say YES!”
Although I don’t consider myself old, I feel like I’m watching an instant replay of a high school relationship!! Based on the strange behavior at the Oscars of this “happy couple”, I am voting “SHENANIGANS” on this whole deal being “love”. I’d certainly call it infatuation, but I think that’s probably running it’s course pretty quickly too.
The look on GC’s face the entire time he was interviewing on the red carpet and covering for his “lady love” performing multiple social faux pas gave me the impression that he realized he had made a grave error in bringing her to the Oscars, and that SL’s comments were really embarrassing. But true to his “Taurus” character (if you believe in astrology) and something to his credit, he’s a stubborn ox (ass?) and he not only went through with it, but gave a gentlemanly show. Truly an Oscar-award winning performance.
If someone asked ME if I was happy being George Clooney’s girlfriend, I would have said “YES, THANK YOU!” And if someone asked me how I stole his heart and kept him happy, I’d have said, “It’s love!”, with a sigh and a gentle touch on my lover’s arm, not “LIQUOR” with a bored expression while rubbernecking to see who else was there. And the last thing I’d ever admit to the press is that I “escaped” from GC as often as possible to go back to Vegas. I’d tell the press that we were inseparable and I couldn’t bear to be away from him. However, someone else mentioned the publicist not doing his job. I would agree with that. They should have had George tell the first interviewer on the carpet that Sarah had a cold and laryngitis but that she chose to come anyway since they were inseparable. He could have had a pocket full of cough drops to feed her (how sweet) and they could have forgiven her having an annoying voice for the big evening.
Nicole Kidman and her beau touched foreheads and he touched her belly, and they were turned towards one another. Body language showing love and soon-to-be parental units. GC didn’t turn enough towards SL to show “love”, he squinted, hung his head, and really downplayed the “Big Valentine’s Day” angle as nothing more than time spent with her friends in Vegas. Not the sort of thing I expect my man who “loves” me to say… he didn’t even turn to SL to gaze into her eyes when the subject of Valentine’s Day was brought up.
I wasn’t very impressed with the dress SL was wearing. Truly, the beaded shower curtain look just does nothing for me. A more appropriate dress for a waitress trying to make over her image would have been a single conservative sober color, perhaps a simple yet elegant design like the blue Dior she wore on another occasion and actually looked classy in. Come to think about it, I believe someone wore that dang beaded shower curtain to MY prom…
In many ways, I do feel sorry for GC. He’s in a position where he has millions, property, and fame. Any woman who comes into his life at this point in his career is going to get this much scrutiny. Problem is, he’s going to be second-guessing their motivations as well. At least if he dates someone who’d eat a scorpion or dances for money, there’s very little question as to that person’s true motivation for wanting to associate with him. I know that’s a real issue because I too once dated someone who’s family was old Hollywood for a short while. I obviously won’t say who, but one of his relatives was on the “dead artists” clip during the telecast. He was a sweet young man, we weren’t serious, but I’m one of the nice women in this world that wouldn’t hurt a man in that way. I’ve been hurt that way myself, since I am a successful businesswoman.
Moving on, I’d like to thank deadc for having the courage to open this forum, and to keep it open. So much more refreshing than all the spin-hype sites. Gah!
Anyway, back to lurking! Enjoy.
no reason new kid should have to do all the work.

Deadc:
Thank you :)
They can whitewash her all they want…I really don’t think the public is going to let this go…have you seen some of the other sites? No one really likes her and it’s pretty easy to see what types support her…which is ….interesting…as one guy put it on another site, “las vegas ho’s are defending her”(something close to that) so post all the PR peoples best whitewash you want. It’s not working!!
nice try sarah. i don’t know anybody who would post that article on here besides your stupid ass. by the way….how are you and your teeth doing?? mrrehhheehhhhhhhhh
GEORGE CLOONEY is adamant he will never have children or marry again, despite finding love at 46 with former waitress SARAH LARSON.
Fifteen years after Hollywood’s favourite bachelor vowed never to walk down the aisle again, following his divorce from Talia Balsam, he is still convinced marriage isn’t for him.
Clooney says, “I said those things in 1993 and it has kind of stuck with me ever since.
“The truth is that it’s not a consideration. I don’t think I will have children – it’s a big responsibility. But I don’t have this mantra that I go around screaming.”
