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

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

George has dated Kimberly Russell from Facts of Life
http://www.whosdatedwho.com/celebrities/people/dating/kimberly-russell.htm
MOLLY…
Besides, George will be too busy this summer basking in the glow that is the perfection of super star model Sarah Larson, cause if he doesn’t she’ll kick him in the butt, and he will be out of the spot light, cause we all know, according to Sarah’s ego, its all about her. SHE is the famous one, George is just along for the ride.
hahaha…love what you wrote
New photos:

There’s even video floating around from the infamous “dry hump” night.
By the way, don’t think the “one” is quite a name, just yet.
I posted the New Yorker article link but didn’t get to read the entire thing right away. Now that I’ve finished it I found that there were a few new things I had not read about him before – but that’s not saying much cause there is a lot about him I didn’t know.
I find the sections with Sarah puzzling. If, as he states, he measures the validity of a new friendship by whether or not he hears about the conversation they had three days later on an interview show, then I find it puzzling that he would make the comments he did about the phone call while he was being interviewed by a journalist.
It seems as if he wasn’t as interested in telling Sarah about the call as he was in getting it out in the media – in perhaps a roundabout way. It’s as if he wants people to know that he has been advised to dump Sarah but she’s still there.
There is a certain kind of perversity in that type of behaviour. On the one hand he’s all about “my private life is private” but then on the other he’s speaking about having his driver/off-duty cop checking on the phone call and whether they used a credit card. Um, isn’t that the type of behaviour that has Pelli-what’s his face on trial and quite a few Hollywood who’s who’s currently sweating it in the witness stand?
I say, if you’ve got a legitimate concern then use the proper channels. Using an off-duty cop is not ethical nor do I think it would be legal since he has not filed a complaint nor requested formal assistance from the proper authorities.
I think Mr. C is skating a bit on the edge with this one…
As to the rest of the article, I thought it was a bit long. Not much commentary from the ‘rents about him. No comments at all about SL from them – unless I somehow missed it.
One thing I do know – I wouldn’t want to be in his position – eating a damn “chopped salad’ with some spritzer dressing on it and having buckets of watermelon in the fridge. Hey, I like watermelon but I’ll be damned if that’s all I’m gonna eat all day! Life is too damn short to be constantly starving oneself! Give me a juicy steak with some smashed potatoes!
So dare I say it? I found the article a bit boring.
And of course, Clooney’s job (in-between doing that acting & directing stuff) is to keep ME entertained! LOL
Hanging with Sarah and her vacuous brain must be sucking the life out of him – she’s like a fucking alien – every time she walks in the room he loses a couple thousand more brain cells, but he just hasn’t realized it yet!
to from1girl2u:
it’s not MY comment ! It’s DEFAMER’s comment.
@fark-lurker
Umm I never said George Clooney and Oprah Winfrey were a romantic couple, I specifically said business relationship. Oprah has had a steady romantic relationship with Steadman for over 25 years. The “One” has been described as someone he would forge a relationship with, every relationship between a man and woman isn’t necassarily romantic.
George and Martha romantically and business wise is a joke. Martha and George are in two different entertainment mediums. Martha and Emaril great match, similar shows and products and according to you they are both white. Oprah and George are in the same medium. Oprah has produced and acted in several films as well as Clooney. It makes perfect sense for them to forge a new company.
Sorry to burst your bubble but George Clooney has been in a relationship with a black woman. Her name is Kimberly Russell, I believe she stated it was for 3 years. Of course she’s black, so there aren’t a whole lot of photos, best kept secret. Right up there with Brad Pitt and Robin Givens dating. Your comments are probably the reason why it is kept quiet or at least she’s not as publicized as the white women he’s dated. You’d think in 2008 people can whom they chose and a big deal wouldn’t be made but apparently you can’t. It is sad that you even mentioned the race of these two or try to allude that Clooney may not be interested because she’s black.
Just:
Pellicano was using an off duty cop for illegal tracking purposes, blackmail, arm twisting etc.
You or I can get telephone information, I can direct you to a site that for $9.95 will give you the unlisted telephone number of a person, give you the name of the person and/or a credit report for an extra charge.
If you have access to a very friendly attorney – he has access to database that will provide a full background search back to your genetic makeup and what lipstick Mom wore the day you were conceived..okay I embellish a bit BUT.
The information is out there, legally, grey market and flat out underhanded-ly.
In one search I found GC birthdate/time, his mother and father’s birthdate/time and that Rosemary’s name is incorrect on the birth registry and I am not an attorney, nor do I play one on television :)
The internet is a dangerous place for anyone trying to keep secrets and there are many states pulling back their database for reasons of identity theft and worse.
Tracing back SL company with her artist partner wasn’t tough – 2 searches on a very public database.
Non Trivia of the day: SL has “undecided” as her sexual preference on MySpace page bio –
However, small trivia of the day – Rosemary was witness to the RFK shooting.
I found a fun web site of GC ancedotes, one about an earthquake, bunny suit and childhood embarassment is a hoot.
I’ll post that later, I want to finish reading it first – I need laughs today.
@Shelley,
Don’t be too hard on fark-lurker (although I don’t agree with the statements) I don’t think he/she realizes that for George race is not an issue.
George has been one to defend against racism – he gets it from his dad – stories of his family frequently walking out of restaurants in the sixties because someone in the restaurant used the N-word has been noted by George in past interviews.
George only seems to have two criteria lately for his “dates” – long dark hair and an overall high skank quotient. LOL
@Shelley,
Haha. It won’t “burst my bubble” to learn that factoid that George has dated a black woman since I wrote that “I don’t think I’ve ever seen George date any non-Caucasian women” in a quite polite and conciliatory manner.
Kimberly Russell’s profile lists her ethnicity as “multiracial”, so I didn’t want to offend anyone, and stated so. Your assumption that I am a racist simply for bringing up the issue of color is ironic and should answer your own rhetorical question. Should I assume in return that you too are racist since you referred in an earlier post to George’s “Irish guilt” which perpetuates the stereotype that all Irish are sinners? No, because that would be “flaming” you, and I’m not the “Chief Flamer” I’m the “Chief Heckler”.
Anyway, enough of all that rubbish, let’s agree to stick to the original subject of our nit-picking and not one another, so that Deadc doesn’t need to step in.
This was posted on IMDB:
From “In Touch” dated 21 April, 2008, page 44:
More Problems for George and Sarah
George Clooney is adding more fuel to “In Touch”‘s April 14 report that he and galpal Sarah Larson are about to be history. Although George was spotted in New York with friend Rande Gerber and his wife Cindy Crawford, on April 1, Sarah, 28, was conspicuously absent. Then, after doing a round of interviews to promote his film “Leatherheads”, George, 46, went to London to promote the film alone. “Nothing is forever with George,” says a friend. “He’s terrible about breaking up with girls and Sarah is likely in the dark,” says an insider. “He doesn’t hate Sarah. He’s just done. He’ll probably see her a few more times, but took this trip away to distance himself from her.” According to a pal of Sarah’s, “She was hurt he didn’t take her to New York with him.”
picture captions:
George seemed like his usual debonair self when he visited “Late Show with David Letterman” in New York on April 2.
Sarah has gotten some rough treatment from George’s fans. “You know just because I’m from Las Vegas, I must be a stripper,” she has said.

A poster over at IMDB posted the link to this – I’m sure some of you have already seen it. It was my first time to watch it ..what an uncomfortable situation for GC. His response was tortuous to watch. He must have known that his involvement with Nestle would lead to a situation such as this one. He was so ill-prepared. I felt a little sorry for him, he should sever his ties with them.
Headline we’d like to see:
VIOLENT TRAUMA AWAKENS GEORGE CLOONEY FROM MID-LIFE CRISIS COMA!!
George Clooney, famed actor, director, producer and twice named sexiest man of the year by People Magazine has finally been aroused to his senses after a violent attack by Hugh Hefner. “He tried to steal one of my pairs of pajamas,” Mr. Hefner pouted, “so I beat him in the head with one of my slippers, the dirty bastard.”
When Mr. Clooney came to his senses he was confused and disoriented, yet remarkable mature and adult. Unfortunately, he has suffered from a mild form of temporal amnesia which may or may not be permanent. “Well,” said a close friend, who prefers to remain nameless, “that’s probably for the best.” When Miss Larson walked into the room and kissed him on the forehead, Mr. Clooney, sat bolted upright in his bed and exclaimed, “Oh My God – I have a DAUGHTER??” He also went on at length, asking for an explanation for all those gold chains on his bureau, the closet full of leisure suits and that nasty rash . . .
“Oh My God – I have a DAUGHTER??”
That made me laugh -very Funny!!
Just love this site – LOL!!! Too funny!
Just a thought – regarding your video of Clooney and his answer to the Italian journalist’s question, yes, he was ill prepared. And I am really surprised that he was. That is such an obvious question to ask him, especially how it relates to his Michael Clayton role and his political interests/activities.
Working in the profession, I find it extremely difficult to understand as to why he was not prepared. Honestly, it is PR101. Basic stuff. Either Stan is not doing his job right or they are both extremely arrogant to think that GC would never (or should never) be asked such a question!
Here’s a silly ” John Joke” ….I heard this one years ago in Ireland.
And please, I mean NO offence to anyone!
An Irishman goes into a brothel and asks the Madam if he could have a nice rotund lady for the evening. The Madam replies – ” Off course yeh can son, I have just the beauty for yeh” . He makes his way to the designated room and opens the door and there lying on the bed is a gorgeous rotund lady. He proceeds to make love to her and after a little bit asks her if he can turn the light off.
” Why “- says she. “Are yeh not enjoying the sight of me?” ” Oh yes, say’s he ……it’s just…THE LIGHT BULB IS BURNING MY ARSE”

Why Sarah’s not with George
When asked in Europe why Sarah Larson didn’t join him on the Leatherheads promotional tour, George Clooney replied that she was “working”. Celebitchy is reporting that among her professional obligations, Sarah was also modelling in a charity fashion show in Vegas yesterday. Apparently her schedule is jam packed these days now that everyone is hoping that an invitation to her will translate into attendance by him.
But George’s movie did not win the box office this weekend…and you have wonder, how much does Sarah Larson’s past have to do with that? Has the MiniVan Majority somehow heard that she was a gambling escort? Are they punishing their favourite dashing actor for dating the anti-thesis of the girl next door?
This is why he’s so hell bent on whitewashing her, see? And don’t be surprised if he starts scaling back Sarah’s red carpet appearances too. Like Clooney would ever choose love over business.
Please.

Now his “friends” are speaking out…
I still believe that if the accident had not happened she would have been gone a long long time ago.
I need to again check with Faye, she seems to be right on with her 1-month will end theory. Though I doubt she was correct with the engagement ask/refuse issue.
We’ll see one more round of them together, then she’ll quietly fade away under the aspices of “work conflicts.”
Loved Sarah’s comment in Emerald’s post:
Sarah has gotten some rough treatment from George’s fans. “You know just because I’m from Las Vegas, I must be a stripper,” she has said.
No, you stupid twat – we don’t think you’re a stripper just because you’re from Las Vegas, we think you’re a stripper because you were pulled off a pole to audition for Fear Factor and your naked twat is available for all to see on the internet!
@ding dong:
“I already know what their cute little “Brangelina” type name will be”
“By the way, don’t think the “one” is quite a name, just yet.”
Aren’t you contridicting yourself? Are you cornish reincarnated?
Every now and then, I come across the rumor that SL’s parents (or at least her mother) disowned her. If this is true, anybody know why?
http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/vlads-on-the-hook-over-gymnast-lover/2008/04/18/1208025421777.html
Russian president Vladimir Putin has reportedly left his wife for a former rhythmic gymnast less than half his age.
The 56-year-old is believed to have walked out on his 50-year-old wife, Ludmilla, and was set to wed the beautiful Alina Kabaeva, 24, the Daily Mail reported.
As well as being a gymnast, Kabaeva worked as a model and as an actress before becoming a Russian MP, the paper said.
She has posed in daring photographs, wearing nothing but fur, and has also appeared in an action film.
News of their proposed wedding first appeared in the gossip column of a Moscow newspaper. The paper reported a party planner in Putin’s home city, St Petersburg, was bidding to organise the couple’s lavish wedding reception.
The newspaper, Moskovski Korrespondent, also said the couple would marry in June, weeks after Putin stepped down as president.
A website has also claimed Putin and Kabaeva were seen kissing in a Moscow restaurant, the Daily Mail said.
Putin has been rarely photographed with wife Ludmilla, who often remains at home when Putin travels overseas. But Kremlin insiders say he left his wife two months ago, the paper said.
Kabaeva was born in the Uzbekistan capital of Tashkent in 1983.
She reportedly started her career as an athlete late, but progressed quickly because of her “extreme natural flexibility”, the Daily Mail said.
She represented Russia in rhythmic gymnastics at both the Sydney and Athens Olympic Games.
The Kremlin has refused to comment on the story.

Here’s my situation: I type away, chuckling at the notion that I may be faced with a decision that, for all intents and purposes, would make the “poor man’s” SL. Without boring you with the details of my dilemma, can any of you clever kids concoct a situation that that would fit this title? I wonder if anyone can hit the nail on the head, but most of all, want to hear your most creative attempts so I can continue having a good laugh about this whole thing. And… go!

Short article on MTV Blogs – with two comments (so far) at the end.
George Clooney Ready to Re-team with Coens for “Suburbicon,” Talks “Farragut North”
When news leaked online, on imdb.com and elsewhere, that the Coen Brothers were handing over one of their scripts to George Clooney for the latter to direct, it felt strange. Many rightly wondered why they just wouldn”t direct it themselves.
Apparently, so did the Coens, laughed Clooney.
“No, no, I wanted to do that, [but] I haven”t stolen that one away from them yet, I think they are going to do it,” Clooney said of “Suburbicon.” “I think they are going to direct it, but I love that project. I have a part in it that I would love to play.”
The project is billed as a dark comedy. I say that only because, honestly, there really isn”t much more to add. That”s what”s out there right now.
“There”s nothing to explain what it is except it”s a Coen Brothers film so it”s insane,” Clooney enthused of the mysterious project. “[In the movie] I get clubbed to death with a tire iron. It made me laugh.”
With “Suburbicon” not in the cards, Clooney is shifting his gaze towards “Farragut North,” a drama by Beau Willimon.
“It”s about elections,” Clooney said of the flick, which focuses on an idealistic young staff member on a presidential campaign, ultimately done in by dirty tricks and partisan politics. “We have the rights and it”s really well done. I want to take a crack at that.”
“Farragut North” (named for a D.C. subway stop) is a film about elections and politics, but one “not about the candidates,” Clooney explained.
“It”s about the James Carvilles and George Stephanopoulos-s,” Clooney said. “I”m really interested in that idea – not of who wins – but ‘winning.””

Good news! I know Howard Dean, and he has penned the forward to my forthcoming book, WHILE IN DARKNESS THERE IS LIGHT, about his brother Charlie, who was executed by the Pathet Lao in 1974. Due out Sept. ‘08 with Black Lawrence Press/Dzanc. Clooney exudes class in all he does, and I’m looking forward to Farragut North. I hope the play and the film will boost book sales, too.

He’s gonna have to turn his personal life around before anyone sinks teeth into more of his politically righteous films. Don’t think he realizes the gravity of having carted an escort around did to his box office sales. I’m just saying …..
Okay I have one more guess, but I am unsure of the studio or production company. Cornish Game Hen said we would know her because of the glint in her eyes and CGH kept mentioning that particular attribute of the “ONE”. Now I know there is one studio/production company that has a woman with a white and green dress ( maybe Roman style reminds me of the Statue of Liberty)and she has a glint in her eye, but I can’t think of the movie studio/production company that has that “mascot”. Anyone here knows, maybe the “ONE” he and Grant Heslov are going to form a company with works or owns that studio or production company.
Hmmm which gives me another angle to this mess, maybe Larson is being used by Clooney as a big F*CK YOU to Warner Brothers. He dirties his reputation just to kill the box office draw to Leatherheads, his last movie with them. The studio imo really did nothing to promote this movie at all. I barely saw any advertisement for it, except for those 6 foot photos of George, John and Renee and those poster made me “not” want to see it. I looked up Suburbicon and it is being released by Touchstone, Clooney is directing it and starring in it, Coen Brothers doing the writing.
SRN: The poor man’s Sarah Larson
She was a high powered lawyer. She was the first woman to make partner in her firm and, at 32 , the youngest partner in her firm. At 38 she ditched it all for a long distance trucker who she met when he sideswiped her BMW with his Peterbuilt. Now she lives in the cab of a semi and walks the red carpet at truck stops across the nation. Her trucker pimps her out to fellow truckers who need legal advice.
Is there a prize for this?
Can I enter more than once?
@Shelly – Columbia PIcs /Tristar is the one with the woman in their logo.
I believe CGN made it all up to send us on a wild goose (or cornish game hen) chase.
However, if you take the glint in the eye. Think about it – if someone is happy & in love – they would have a twinkle in their eyes – yes? So, the woman would have twinkle (glimmer, glint, whatever) in her eyes because she was truly in love. Also I would also think that GC would have the twinkle in his eyes also and it would be very noticable, if he was happy and truly, genuinly in love.
@New Kid – looking forward to hearing what Faye has to say. Maybe she can shed some light on all of this.
Shelly – here’s a name, it could be a long shot….Stacy Snyder, ex chairman of Universal, I think now at Paramount . I know she is married.
And the “gay gay gay” statement is actually from PerezHilton, he uses gay gay gay often on his website.
..sorry submitted before I finished , they could be forming a partnership at Paramount.
@Shelley – there was a lot of promotion of the film here in lala land. But don’t know what they did in heartland.
@SRN – your post is a bit confusing. Not sure what you’re alluding to. Is the title “poor man’s Sarah Larson”?
If that’s what it is then I’m going to guess some guy/gal wants you to service them in exchange for either money or fame. My take on that — if it’s something in your PRIVATE life then that’s your business – you’re the one who has to determine what you’re comfortable doing or not. You also have to live with yourself. Some people have no issue giving up their dignity for money. We see it all the time. Reality show contestants are a good example.
If however, you intend to have your labia shot and posted on the internet then hook up with someone like a George, who has some serious issues he’s supposedly supporting and championing, then that’s another issue. Because then it potentially affects many other people. (I still believe George was not allowed to speak at the UN after his second trip to Sudan because France and Russia got wind of his “associate’s candid shots.”) Who’s going to respect a man who makes those type of decisions? i.e. to date a person with such an obvious low personal standard?
My issue has never been about what people do in private – my issue is how women are portrayed especially when a woman is a willing participant in behaviour that demeans her.
Sarah’s behaviour would have gone mostly un-noticed (other than within her own sleazy group) had she not hooked up with such a high profile person. She’s naive to think it doesn’t matter. George, however, should know that it does.
So can’t help you with a clever scenario – this isn’t a plot of a movie – if I read your post correctly – you’re trying to make a life decision. We only have one life to live – and only you know what you can live with. But ask yourself this – in a few years will your decision be something you’re proud of or something you’re trying to hide?

I’m amazed at how often I’m coming across comments all over the place now from people saying that GC’s personal life is hurting his box office. It first caught my eye when I was reading the reviews for “Leatherheads” coming in on Rotten Tomatoes. Over and over again, I was reading comments to the reviews coming in from people saying they didn’t want to see “Leatherheads” because of GC’s public conduct with SL, regardless of what the reviewer just said about the film.
A couple of days ago, I came across the same article that “justwanna” posted. I was looking up “Farragut North”, a future project of GC’s, and was struck by the second comment posted:

Comments like these are not showing up just on celebrity gossip sites anymore, but as comments to “Leatherheads” reviews in mainstream newspapers. Now they’re showing up in discussions of Clooney’s future projects. All the years I’ve been following GC’s career, I’ve NEVER seen a negative reaction to his choice in a girlfriend resulting in the public not wanting to see his films. I remember that many people didn’t like Krista Allen, but there was never this kind of vocalized backlash against Clooney’s films for it. This really is unprecedented.
@shawdow – George never flaunted one of his less inhibited gals on the red carpet. Lisa Snowdon who does have some semi-racy pics out there on the intenet was one gal that he took to a premiere.
http://images.google.com/images?q=lisa+snowdon&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1
It was after he got hurt on the set of Syriana. My understanding was that she was in LA with him along with his mom while he was recuperating from back surgery. So I’m going to guess that he felt very grateful to her for staying with him and helping him while he was sick. Perhaps he thought at the time that he might make his relationship with Lisa more permanent. But I’ll bet that he later decided against it because she wanted a career and most of her opportunities were in England and he was not going to give up his aspirations for hers.
Although he dated Krista for years, he NEVER took her to the Oscars nor to any premieres that I can remember. He was pictured with Krista after he won his Oscar for Syriana, but he met her for dinner after the event with his other friends.
That’s the difference.
He has always known that strippers, porn stars and soft porn stars were people to date on the sly and keep as private as possible. They weren’t paraded in front of industry colleagues. Bringing Sarah to the Oscars was a serious lapse in judgment.
Personally, I think George is having some mental issues. Either he’s having a major mid-life crisis, or that bang in the head really affected him because he has never jeopardized his career for any woman.
That being said — if Sarah were the gal, the “one” then you can bet she would have been in NY and England with him. You notice she wasn’t. George is putting distance between them.
As much as many have commented that Stan should have known about Sarah and most likely told George about it, I don’t think either of them thought it would bring as much backlash from his fans that it did. And perhaps his colleagues took offense too.
I did feel sorry for Renee – she has done some really good work – I’m thinking of her work in Cold Mountain for instance. To have to stand on a red carpet with an escort who only seems to have two talents – f’king the camera and George – must have been galling.
And as Lainey mentioned, as much as Renee denies it – she does have it bad for George.
George on the other hand, looks like he treats Renee with kid gloves – like you would a puppy that you don’t want to hurt but you know you can’t take home.
Any woman that does end up with George needs to understand that he will take care of her but she will not have a career to compete with him. I don’t agree with this and it’s too bad that George doesn’t see that it can be any other way. But that’s going to be the reality of life with George – unless of course, he no longer has a career then it would be a moot point.
His parents were a team – dedicated to his father’s career. Although his mom does have her own talents – I believe they include writing and carpentry (very eclectic) she handles and organizes his personal appearances in addition to finding time to sit on several Board of Directors.
Perhaps that’s what George is seeking – a partnership like his parents had – but in this day and age many women want their own careers so he’s going to have a difficult time finding that.
JMO
What I find interesting is that his “friends” are starting to speak out. So far they’ve all been quiet, either under his request or because they thought she’d just fade away as have all the rest.
GC seems to be -finally- striking back, perhaps he has learnt a lesson and realizes how much harm this child has done to his professional reputation.
I’ll be having brunch w/Faye tomorrow stay tuned.
Even with the Villa in Italy, the Casa in Mexico and the house in California he can’t hide, SL is not going to fade away quietly. She’ll be very expensive to buy off, he’s done it to past girlfriends -houses, educations, cash- I wonder what her price will be?
It’s also interesting that GC’s ex-wife has never spoken about the marriage, he must have had a great lawyer, even back then.

Lisa Snowdon: (more article at the link above)
People always ask me what George Clooney was like in bed. It’s usually after a few drinks have made them brave. I never tell. We finished three years ago, but I still get asked about it a lot. The media attention when we were together was unbelievable. I’m not sure how I survived it. The hardest thing to deal with was the perception that I was going out with George to further my career. In fact, it did me no favours at all. Work almost totally dried up. People saw me living a new life and thought I wouldn’t be interested in modelling again. And TV people didn’t know where to place me. They’d see me in Hollywood with George and think, “She’s not going to be interested in doing a show for the BBC.”
I was mentally and physically abused. When I was 19 I was with an older man who started off mentally abusing me and ended up getting physically abusive. Modelling was my escape from all of that. When the camera was pointed at me, I could pretend to be someone else. It was only when I started covering up for my black eyes by pretending to have fallen over that I realised something had to give and I had to get out.
I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll ever have sex again. I’ve been celibate for a year now; it’s not something I planned. I just don’t get asked out any more. Maybe it’s something to do with my previous boyfriends. Maybe men look at me now and think, “She’s been out with George Clooney – what chance have I got?” The only advantage to being single and remaining celibate is that I’ve got much more time and energy for photography.
I miss George’s castrated pot-bellied pig. Max was really the cutest pet and I got along with him famously. That surprised a few people, because he wasn’t keen on women, as it was a woman who castrated him. But I never had any problems with him. When I was staying at George’s house in LA, I’d always know it was time to wake up because Max would start squealing, asking to be let in. So I’d go downstairs and give him some fruit for breakfast. Often he’d happily wander around the house. I’d come out of the bathroom and meet him on the landing. A pot-bellied pig might not sound like an ideal pet, but once you get to know them it’s just like having a dog around.
My life completely changed when I grew breasts. I never believed I was beautiful enough to be a model. The girls at my school were much prettier and had the bodies of women. At 16, I was still built like a girl, but then I experienced this amazing overnight growth spurt. Out of the blue I had this bust, and there was just so much of it! I now had the body to be a model.
Success is the best revenge on those who have wronged you. I was bullied terribly at that school. Being the smallest and skinniest in my year, I was an easy target. The bullying made me terrified of even going to school. It was only when I starting having some success as a model that I left that scared little girl behind. As soon as I got my first magazine covers I’d be thinking, “So who’s the skinny little wimp now?”
If I hadn’t been a model I think I’d have made a good comedian. It was drummed into me at an early age by my parents to not just get by on my looks. To compete for attention with my sisters, I quickly learned to be the funniest one. I’d be far more flattered to be considered bright and funny rather than good-looking.
The bravest thing I’ve ever done was receiving colonic-irrigation treatment on camera. I’d recently broken up with George Clooney and it seemed nobody was talking about anything I’d achieved. It was George, George, George. I was filming an episode of LA Pool Party about Californian fads and they needed a volunteer for colonic irrigation. I thought, “Why not? At least it’ll give people something new to talk about.” It wasn’t the sexiest thing I’ve ever done, but it succeeded in getting people talking about something other than George.
What’s over Chopin? George and Sarah?

I looked at “the crew” page. The Japan dude’s picture – all I can say is “nice suit, nice tie.” Seriously.
I have to wonder what those guys think of this page, though. Either they don’t give a fuck and don’t look at all, or they read some of this stuff and marvel at how much time we’ve spent dissecting this relationship.
And at least one or two have got to be saying, “JC how the fuck can they still be talking about this shit?” “It’s been like 8 fucking months now and this shit still goes on and on…” “Dude, hand me a beer…”
No offense meant man, but I’m just picturing you guys sitting there, taking a hit and shaking your heads.
Why hasn’t SL’s family spoken out in her defense? Even here, in the beginning, Auntie showed up with her pitchfork and torch telling us Sarah was only doing what one should do when one was young.
Are they fed up with her as well?
Dear Ted:
What’s with nominating George Clooney for Honorary Heartbreaker? I thought he was generally considered to be a nice guy. Are you referring to the pressure the goss rags put on anyone he dates, or is he a love ’em and leave ’em kind of guy?

Dear Clooney’s Cuties:
Georgie-boy was married for a spell back in the late ’80s, though the slap-bracelet fad lasted longer than that relationship. Since then, he’s jumped on, then jumped ship from, famous femmes ranging from Julia Roberts to Renée Zellweger, and not so known girlfriends like Brooke Langton, Lisa Snowdon and Krista Allen. Sarah Larson has yet to become a thing of the past, but we’re busy just preparing the hon for the inevitable shoot down.
My how things have changed:
Clooney Dumps Porn Star Girlfriend
10 May 2002 (WENN)
Playboy actor George Clooney has dumped his belle Krista Allen – because he couldn’t deal with her porn past. George, whose many flings have been the center of media attention, ditched the brunette beauty because he feels the scrutiny has intensified since people became aware of her past in body baring films like Emmanuelle: First Contact. Clooney, 41, dated Allen for a few weeks during the recent filming of Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind, and he even hosted a 30th birthday party for her at trendy Los Angeles eatery Jones Hollywood last month. But a source tells American magazine Us Weekly, “He got rattled by the press reports of their fling. It wasn’t really serious. Still, he got freaked out anyway.”
Clooney Dumped for Not Showing Allen Enough “Respect”
29 March 2004 (WENN)
George Clooney was dumped by ex-girlfriend Krista Allen – because she felt she wasn’t getting enough “respect” from the Hollywood hunk, says her representative. The pair met two years ago during the filming of Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind and have parted ways and reunited a number of times. But earlier this month, pals revealed the latest break is for good. The pretty brunette’s spokesperson tells American magazine In Touch Weekly, “Krista broke it off with George because he wasn’t treating her with the respect she feels she deserves. She decided it was a good time, as he was about to travel to Europe for four months to work on Ocean’s Twelve.” While pals say Allen was eager to settle down with Clooney soon after meeting him, the former star of TV’s ER has always been very public about his desire to remain a bachelor. The actress’ representative adds that the pair will remain friends, and have plans to work on a project together for American cable TV network HBO.

Cutie with Clam Sauce
Did you read that story on Defamer about George Clooney’s post-Oscar shindig at Dan Tana’s? Yes, of course, but, if not, do it, fast! See, spy legend has it G.C. stopped by with Oscar in hand and left with a gal who lives on the perpetual verge of almost famousness, NC-17 sexpot Krista Allen.
Okay, fine, but guess what happened before old Clooney g-f and Mr. C. reportedly strolled off into the wee hours for an undoubtedly kinky reunion? (I speak so candidly, ’cause Krista and George have been rocking the boudoir on and off for some time now. Were they at it while George was coy-courting Teri Hatcher? Well, I wouldn’t rule it out.)
So, picture it: The Polo Lounge. Beverly Hills Hotel. The Oscars are on the boob tube. Krista is there watching the show–you know, the way many well-to-do (but not so inside that they get tix to the show) like to do. All is well with the frisky brunette, until suddenly–gasp!–she flees! In tears!
Strap disaster? Shoe snafu? Or was it just seeing Georgie-porgy next to his agent inside the Kodak–when that so easily coulda been the shapely babe, instead–that caused the H20 overflow? Guess we’ll never know, huh?
Regardless, it all makes pathetically perfect sense to moi. Like, how would Cinderella have reacted if her prince had been like, “Um…you can’t come to the ball with me, but I’ll holler at you after the show”? Alas, it is possible slippery Krista was putting on a show herself, orchestrating a plea for sympathy from the gossy public, which would eventually find out about anyone famous shedding tears at the pinkie-poo hotel.
I can’t feel for Krista, though. I mean, when anyone gets into bed with Gorgeous George, they know it doesn’t necessarily mean breakfast, too, let alone the damn red carpet at the Oscars.
I mean, operator, get me duh!

Of, course, George C., if you’re online (and I know you are), dinner’s on me next time if you guess right.
The reason given for why SL wasn’t in New York and Europe was because she was “working”. SL was a last minute addition to the charity runway. The New York and Europe events would have already been booked. So there was no previous commitment in place that would have kept her from joining GC.
Also, if you were Kenya Knight, SL’s talent agent (who specializes in getting her clients on reality shows), which job would you book Larson for?
Travelling to New York, London, and Rome, walking red carpets in high-end designer wear, for two weeks worth of interviews and photographs with British and European celebrities, even a meeting with Gordon Brown, one of the world’s leading heads of state, and all in front of the world press corps.
OR
One day on a runway in Vegas at an obscure charity event that no one knows about and no one gives a shit about.
If you were SL’s agent, which gig would you book her for?
After the wall humping and magazine licking photos came out, SL was a liability. They already had to do a compromised and scaled back L.A. premiere because of it, they couldn’t afford to do that for the next two weeks. The reason why SL wasn’t there was because she wasn’t invited.
Disagree justwanna. I think once his career tapers off or slims, he’d be a lot more open to sharing his life with a great woman and actually wanting to help her and get involved. He was just very selfish in his past because he had to be for his own satisfaction. I think the idea that he could continue into the next 3 or 4 decades just trying to reach out and be there to another half is just what he’s needing. He just needs to be open to it and be willing to expand. Doesn’t necessarily mean that he should have children, but the partnering up in his personal life would bring about a whole new Clooney.
“What I find interesting is that his “friends” are starting to speak out. So far they’ve all been quiet, either under his request or because they thought she’d just fade away as have all the rest.
GC seems to be -finally- striking back, perhaps he has learnt a lesson and realizes how much harm this child has done to his professional reputation.”
newkid, who is speaking out? Apart from Snowdon mentioning him briefly (frankly, because she was asked and had to answer. I don’t think she’s had contact with him for a long time, so she doesn’t know anything first-hand), who are his friends who are speaking? Where is he striking back? Thanks!

There’s a wild side to former cocktail waitress Sarah Larson
She might look demure and ladylike by George Clooney’s side at showbiz galas, but it turns out there’s a wilder side to Sarah Larson.
Photos of her – taken since she started dating George – bikini-clad on all fours as she kneels down to suggestively lick a magazine cover are scoring regular hits on the internet.
There’s even a lurid film of her doing the rounds, which web users are advised is too explicit to be viewed in an office environment. It includes raunchy scenes of her leaning over a police car in a very short skirt – apparently knickerless.
George, 46, started seeing Sarah, 29, last June after they met at the aftershow party for the Las Vegas premiere of Ocean’s 13 at the Moon club in the Palms resort.
The pair first hooked up ‘three or four years ago’ before that, says Sarah
Soon she’d quit her £100,000-a-year waitressing job to spend more time with George.
But what kind of waitress earns £100,000 a year? A Now investigation reveals Sarah’s duties in Las Vegas were more as a hostess.
‘She’d bring clients to the club and create a party atmosphere,’ reveals one regular at the Moon club. ‘That’s our Sarah,’ he says, gazing at the pictures. ‘She’s not shy. That’s the girl we know, not the one dressed in Valentino minding her manners with George at the Oscars.’
Desperate for fame even before she met George, Sarah, then described as a go-go dancer, appeared on the US reality TV show Fear Factor in 2005, on which she drank blood and swallowed a scorpion to win a £25,000 prize.
‘She was known for being high-maintenance and prone to complaining,’ says Dead C, a musician who grew up with Sarah in America’s Northwest.
‘I don’t know if she’s now trying to hide her past, but she doesn’t look comfortable in the photos I’ve seen of her with George.’
