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
i think it’s possible she left him, though the media would never spin it that way. he took off to europe without her; he had her fly by herself to the met gala. as some have said, those are not the actions of a man in love. i think she knew he was done and maybe made that decision herself (to leave).
i take no pleasure in her ‘downfall’ if you call it that, and it’s not surprising (if, in fact he said this) that they do not have much in common.
gc seems a troubled man in the relationship department, that’s all i have to say. i have never seen one man who has dated so many women. 30+?? what does that signify? marriage isn’t right for everyone, but relationships of some duration are. i guess he has had longer term relationships, come to think of it. just not post-snowden.
sure will be interesting to see if the fur flies. he has the power to spin this any way he wants; she has less so.
what will the vegas media say?
let the fireworks begin (or not, as the case may be)
i wish her well.
Great post Just…remember..the Wizard is just smoke and mirrors (now where have I heard that before??) Uh, oh…are posts about ‘the One’ going to resurface? Could she be a combination of Glenda and Auntie Em?
George heart Sarah, a Requiem for a Dream
Don’t worry about Lainey. She’s just pissed because GC played her. For 8 months she called a spade a spade and saw the GC/SL dog and pony show for what it really was. Then she went to the Met and drank the kool-aid. She came back a true believer. She was talking about how totally in love Clooney was with Sarah, that SL had “secured” and “conquered” him. It turns out she had only secured him for three more weeks and one of them he was in Mexico, for Christ’s sake. She said GC would run back from the press line just to be with SL and bask in her magnificent aura of love or some such nonsense. I was busy throwing up at the time so I missed some of it.
Then 3 short weeks later he’s dumped SL flat on her ass. Lainey looks like she’s been played (she was). She’s got egg on her face. She’s especially pissed because until she became a “true believer” in the Stan Rosenfeld show she was actually right the whole time. Lainey got caught very publicly falling for someone’s spin. She’s prides herself on the fact that she doesn’t do that. So now she’s red-faced and pissed off.
What I find intriguing is why now? Why did Clooney announce the split now? This is the WORST possible timing for SL. It was definitely GC who decided to leak the news of the break up and SL was given no choice in the matter. She was welcome to release a statement or not release a statement but he was going public with the split with or without her blessing. The timing of the public announcement of this break up could not be WORSE for Sarah. This was not her idea.
SL’s Harper’s Bazaar issue hit the newsstands May 20. The split with SL was announced May 28. That magazine has three more weeks to go, trying to sell Larson as the new It Girl because she’s stolen the heart of the world’s most eligible bachelor. Oops!
This announcement has killed SL’s modeling career just as it was being launched. It killed the Harper’s story just as it was landing on newsstands. There’s no way SL’s representation would put her faux Harper’s cover up on the Models.com web site, advertising the magazine article and her new IT Girl model status at the same, and in less than a week want her to go public with a break up and kill the whole thing.
SL didn’t want people to know about this, GC did. So the question is why and why right now? What ticked him off? He couldn’t wait 3 weeks, if not for SL than at least for Harper’s sake? They spent a lot of time and resources advertising this interview. They’re going to lose money on this. Less than a week ago even the L.A. Times did a profile advertising the SL interview for Harpers. Now they look like idiots, too.
Something happened and this break up got announced ahead of schedule and it wasn’t SL’s idea, that’s for sure. So it had to be GC’s. Someone mentioned to me on another forum that GC can do favors for Harper’s and kiss and make up with them, so it’s only Larson who’s hurt by this timing. For the last couple of weeks she’s been “model, Sarah Larson” in the press. In the last 48 hours she’s back to “cocktail waitress, Sarah Larson”, “go-go dancer, Sarah Larson”. Today “People” magazine just called her “George Clooney’s ex, Sarah Larson” LOL! What a difference 48 hours makes. Her modeling career got killed right in the middle the publicity campaign to say she had one.
Someone posted a remarkable photo on imdb that says it all. It’s the photo that Celebitchy used to announce the break up. It was taken at the Met. SL is looking cocky as hell, like the world is her oyster. Julia and Armani are ignoring her, and George is staring lovingly at …. Julia. SL had no idea when she was in NYC that this was coming. If she was smart she would have suspected it (he only saw her once a month), but she didn’t. She’s not that good of an actress, and when she was in NYC she really did look like she had secured Clooney and that’s because she believed it. I’ll bet she thought she had this arm candy gig nailed until at least after the “Burn After Reading” promos. That’s the Venice Film Festival (their one year anniversary), Toronto Film Festival, and U.S. premieres with Brangelina in September. She was also under the impression she was going to Como and Milano this summer. No she didn’t realize this was coming now.
GC waited until his birthday photo ops were over, he took off to Mexico, and then she was told to collect her things in L.A. while he was away. The split was going to be announced when he got back from his trip, which meant her Harper’s interview and modeling career were dead. So what the hell happened before he left for Mexico that pissed him off? Why right now? The timing couldn’t be worse for Sarah. GC doesn’t have any high profile events coming up, so he could have waited, but he didn’t.
The photo on Celebitchy says it all. Larson looks like she has the tiger by the tail, the tiger is in fact no longer interested in her AT ALL, and Julia and Armani couldn’t care less about any of it.

@Shadow.
Payback. Is. A. Bitch.
She got what was coming to her, she’s spoken as a cocky bitch “any boyfriend who doesn’t support..career…kick his ass…” “he’s a walking contridiction…” “I wouldn’t have dated him if he were a reality contestant.” anyone want to bet that didn’t sit well?
(I paraphrase)
She’s scooted around town like she’s shit on toast and we have little choice but to eat what is served. GC knocked her (back)down to what she was and now is, a fame hungry whore. Of course SL didn’t see it coming, she DESERVED all the fame and photos and fame and private jets…
Her “friends” are saying she was thrown into a media storm. No. She jumped into the storm and then looked around at the carnage and wondered JUST WHO DID ALL OF THAT.
I don’t think GC did this by accident, I don’t think it was “leaked,” I think it was payback.
My esteem of GC has just risen a few notches.
My kinda guy.
I hope SL saved her tip money and invests her payoff wisely. She may be down but she’s going to milk this for all it’s worth. Stay tuned for more leaks by friends. Go read TedC and his comments –
Shadow – couple of ideas (but Shelly is really the theorist):
1) SL’s time was already past her expiration date. Hollywood Insider (as well as others) said that SL’s time was limited – and probably going to be up by the LH opening. So everyone’s waiting… it is expected. So they did the unexpected. This way they didn’t hear “told ya so” she was just there as an escort and give validity the ‘escort rumors’.
2) SL’s ‘career’ as a ‘model’ was just starting – and it may have looked really bad if they broke up (‘as scheduled’ and GC would be a heal for not supporting her. Remember her comment in an interview – “My boyfriend better support me or else”…
3) When SL did “talk” think of what SHE was saying. SHE talked with threatening words. SHE said “or else”. SHE got pissed when he didn’t show up at her runway walk. SHE mentioned going to “Milano”. Don’t recall GC ever mentioning that “they” were going to spend the summer in Italy, only that HE was taking a trip to Ireland. I could be wrong.
4) Remember The phone call – “You’ll Be Sorry”. Maybe GC found out what that meant and nipped it in the butt before anything got out. Why did he let her hear that in front of a reporter? Odd or are you trying to “read” an initial reaction on someone’s face because you know that someone is ‘up to something’ and they can’t hide when it is in front of someone else? If he played that threat in private with her, she could have played up to it – damsel in distress theory. But in front of another … No, GC knew what she is like and wanted to get her reaction. For a reason.
All in all I think that GC did like her in the beginning, but then found out exactly what type of person she was and it disappointed him. I think she tried to push her expiration date farther and that’s why there was the phone calls, her mentioning “or else”, that’s she’s going to “Milano”, etc. She was pushing it on him and also letting the public know she “wasn’t leaving”. I think she pushed it this far, and wanted farther. She thought that she would let everyone know who was in charge, but she was wrong. She could have kept going for a long time, but her mistake was that she didn’t do right by GC and that’s not good. In her interviews, She could have talked GC up. She didn’t. In their public appearances, she could have ‘looked happy’ or ‘having fun’. She didn’t.
GC is a soft-hearted guy and probably bent over backwards to help her, but she didn’t give anything back in return (other than in the bedroom). She made a spectacle of the both of them, embarrassed him in public and in print. So enough is enough, he turned his back. You’re on your own now kid.
Other idea: Maybe there is some video out there that hasn’t surfaced yet, and is about to. New Kid mentioned one, but haven’t heard anything since.
Lastly, whatever she ‘had on him’, she threatened one last time and he had enough and cut her loose.
Or – maybe she punched him in the face….
Shadow:
‘What I find intriguing is why now? Why did Clooney announce the split now?”
My guess is that he DOES NOT want to spend the summer in Milano or Como with her, and he doesn’t want to have to dodge the press if he finds a piece he wants to spend time with. He doesn’t like Sarah enough to give up getting any, from whoever he wants and he doesn’t want to look like a cheater if he gets paped with another woman. I don’t think he gives a rat’s ass about her modeling career, because, like everyone else on earth but her, he knew if he isn’t sticking it in her she doesn’t have a modeling career.
Sorry, for being so drool. But I don’t think the conspiracy goes any deeper with George on this issue then his d!ck does.
@Shadow
Maybe early publicity for Burn After Reading? I noticed many websites mentioning the film after their summation of the break up. I guess he’s letting his fans know, she’s gone and there’s no need to boycott the movie. *shrugs*
Norm Clarke is speculating that it may be something she said in the HB article. Now we know he’s her unofficial PR man, and he does bring the article up and states well it was done 2 – 3 months ago, why break up with her now? Maybe George didn’t like the admittance to “go-go” dancing or maybe how she called him a hypocrite. In my opinion she made him look like an ass in that article.
Or because of the photos of her dry humping that dude on the wall, may have been ( and should have been) the final straw. Fake relationship or not that very public infidelity would have split other couples up. He just waited awhile to do it. Her humping the guy does not fall in the timeline remember… they met 4 years ago couldn’t hook up because she had a boyfriend…they met again in June at O13 Las Vegas premiere fell in love, started text messaging and then he’s flying her off to Italy the next month, all while she’s being photographed humping some guy on the wall in July. :)
That is why he may have been so cold with the break up ( not helping her establish her career) . Why help her after she embarassed the hell out of him?
@new kid:
…he REALLY needs to revisit his dentist, those veneers give him donkey teeth to rival Larson’s.”
Brahahahahahaha!!!!
haw hee — haw hee!
Many a good point Shadow!
I’ve always respected that he never commented on his personal life to the press, but this has really shown that sometimes saying nothing is really a bad thing. He’s lost fans, credibility, even respect. He could have acknowledged in the beginning (about her past), said something supportive about her when the pictures hit the fan. Even now, the break up is sleazy – a simple, “hey we took it as far as it could go” would have at least been something with a bit of tact.
We’re debating at work – do you think he had an assistant give her the hard word (after he got out of Dodge) or do you think he left her a sticky note? Or do you think the assistant’s assistant left her a sticky note (probably on her copy of Harpers)?
The breakup is still a rumor, which could be as fake as the relationship seemed. If it is true, perhaps someone probably got caught by the paps with someone else, and to make things seem okay they are saying their over. If it isn’t, their getting their press together this week without a public appearance or having to spend time together. (notice that they are mentioned by all the gossip mags and shows?) Nice timing for Stan though, takes a little press away from the Charlie Sheen/Denise Richards press wars don’t you think? Anyhow, I think they will be pictured together again this summer, unfortunately. Although he may want to keep the fans guessing until after Leatherheads goes to video.
New Kid/Faye said: “One more thing, she said there is a very nasty side to GC that he is an underhanded fighter not a physical one. That what SL saw that charmed her is ultimately what sunk her.”
GC is very powerful. What GC giveth, GC taketh away. SL wanted to be a model. She screwed GC over. GC took away her modeling career (notice: before it ever took off).
She could never have gotten anywhere in her ‘modeling career’ without his name, without his power. Those photos stayed out of the mainstream because of his power. I agree with New Kid, this is all payback. Serious payback – bottom line. She really must have p*ssed him off.
I think too much credit is given to that HB interview…as a former freelancer, who has actually done those interviews, I guarantee a lot was left out..but what was left in told me the guy writing it didn’t think a lot of her (just the fact that he left in all the ‘like’s makes her sound idiotic, and he knows it) normally, a publicist or agent will see the article before it goes to press, and you’d be surprised at what they want to add, or leave out. In this case whoever arranged the interview or had the pull..gc’s folks..probably saw it..I sincerely doubt if SL ever did. Anyway…I don’t think the interview meant diddly in the long run…Good lord…this is a guy who can’t return a steak in a restaurant..of course it took a while to return her. Thought Chelsea Handler (Chelsea lately) said it well last night…that after their September accident, he thought, oh no, now I have to keep her around. Quedice also has a good point…this breakup is solely what some unamed sources say it is…hell, they may be getting hitched today while everyone is looking for Angelina’s babies or watching charlie sheen screw up again. Nice diversions, eh?
NYDailyNews – “George loved her,” a source tells us. “He liked the relationship because it was easy – she was always available to be at his side.
I’d say the above ‘source’ is a ‘walking contradiction’ to other ‘insiders’.
People.com – George is relieved to be single again,” an insider said.
TheSun – The insider added: “George is happy to be single again. He had started to feel tied down and wanted some space.
If you are so ‘in love with someone’ and ‘relationship is easy’ and ‘she is always available’, WHYm WHY, WHY would you be ‘relived to be single again’ because you were ‘feeling tied down’ and ‘wanted some space’. ‘Sources’, ‘insiders’, ‘friends’ – I think you need a conference call to get your ‘stories’ straight.
Opions – SL’s is supposed to be in Ocean Drive Mag. due out in Sept. (the ExtraTV interview (4/30) where she was posing). What do you think will happen with this. Will OD go ahead with her in the mag. or drop the spread. Was she interviewed for the mag or was it just photos, don’t recall.
The mere fact alone that SL was told to go to L.A. and pick up her things when he was NOT there, tells me he specifically did not want to see her. He did not want to wish her well, or say good-bye, or make sure she was going to be okay. A couple only arranges to have the moving out ceremony when the other isn’t home, when they’re not speaking. It’s only during a painful split they can’t even be in the same house at the same time. This was not an amicable parting or GC would have WANTED to be there for her last trip. If they were parting as friends, as you would expect from an amicable split, he would have wanted to be home and see her. Remove your stuff when I’m not there only happens when it ended badly.
Notice in GC’s break up statement he still, he STILL did not set the record straight and say, btw, SL is not a hooker, none of the terrible things people said about her were true. He’s perfectly happy to let the charges of prostitution swirl merrily around the internet. Yep, he’s pissed at her about something and has left her to sink or swim on her own.
And I say good riddance to her. I was appalled at her behavior. I remember the remark she made of “no regrets” about her conduct in Harper’s because it was “great money”. Her boyfriend was a public figure, his parents both continue to make a living as public figures, and they were having to constantly contend with the embarrassment caused by her photos and videos. They were having to face the public in the midst of the media shit storm her bad behavior caused. You would think she would have some regrets about that. Did she even offer them an apology? How can you say you have no regrets when other people are bearing the brunt of this, not just you? It was so selfish to me that in the midst of this scandal she thought only of herself, the great money she made, and didn’t care how it affected other people.
Something else bothered me. SL told Harper’s she was dancing on a Plexiglas platform up in the air which means she was dancing on a CLEAR glass platform suspended over the customers’ heads. So as she was dancing the customers could stare straight up into her crotch. That’s something a lot more risqué that just go-go dancing. Those were details people didn’t need to know, and now they were written up in a mainstream magazine. Nina Clooney’s friends and family, the people she engages every day in her professional life were now going to know this, and it was delivered directly from SL with a cocky “no regrets” attitude. This complete disregard for the fact that her actions and remarks were always going to reflect on the public standing of other people, astonished me.
She was getting more cocky, selfish, and reckless by the day, and millions of dollars were at stake and so were decades long public reputations. She was becoming a loose canon. I wonder what else it is we don’t know about her conduct behind the scenes, considering we were seeing SL on her version of her best behavior.
So there sits her big magazine interview, sitting all alone on the newsstands for another 3 weeks, debuting her as the “It Girl Wonder Model of the Universe”, boastfully showing off her diamond earrings so the readers can see how much Clooney loves her, chastising the world for hating her because she’s dating George Clooney, only … he’s dumped her flat on her ass.
I’ll bet you one thing – she’s feeling those regrets NOW.
i have a feeling when GC gets nasty, he gets really really nasty, as in he WILL pay you back. maybe he got definitive proof that sl was behind the engagement rumors, or had said too much about their bedroom athletica to the wrong people. maybe he realized her calling him a ‘walking contradiction’ was disrespectful, considering that he was ‘making’ her. or maybe he finally saw the humping photo and realized it was taken after he had begun dating her. or maybe he had conquered her and that hunt was over. or, maybe, just maybe, he’s a prick and wanted all the attention to be focussed on him, and sl’s recent media appearances were the last straw. he didn’t show for her paige modeling event, so was he really just busy doing something else or did he have no interest in supporting her endeavors? if so, she really was JUST arm candy. he’s looking more and more like an asshole to me.

Did her wild past factor into their breakup? Hmmm?
Oh, I do resent being called a “mini-van” fan. Why do they characterize his fans as only mom’s that drive minivans? I’ve never owned a fucking minivan and never will! LOL
And is this breakup news that’s worthy of reporting in the India Economic Times? Like will this breakup lower the price of gas, increase OPEC’s production, decrease China’s need to suck the life out of the rest of the world as they build their infrastructure by sucking as much gasoline and raw materials out of the earth as possible? And should we – the Americans who have been doing this for years – have anything to say about it? I think not.
Suck it up people. Gas prices will NEVER go down because everyone has finally figured out that we’re using more than we’re producing. And it’s stupid people who say drill ANWR or anywhere else. It’s a finite resource if we start drilling we will only postpone the inevitable – we should be making all those gasoline companies that are earning OBSCENE amounts of profits invest those profits into researching renewable energy sources instead of letting them buy fucking 50 million dollar mansions! Oh, and don’t let me get started on the “infinite wisdom” of our current administration, Congress and Senate, who are subsidizing ethanol production when it’s decreasing the food supply for third world countries. GEZUS! Can this absolute stupidity stop? What’s going to happen when those who are in need of food figure out we’re diverting food production to make fuel? You think people in other countries hate us now? Just wait… Riots in South Africa have already started. Riots in Haiti over food have already started, where next? Wonder why your food prices are going up?
We’ve got Assholes making decisions in Washington and we have no excuse because half of us voted for them!
Oh, maybe I should just think like Sarah and say – “baby steps?”
Fuck – another idiot that doesn’t have a clue. No what we need is some fucking giant leaps – you know – like the ones we were supposed to be taking since we walked on the moon?
But I’ve digressed.
George and Sarah – who gives a fuck anymore? They’re over, he’ll move on to the next skank with questionable pics on the internet (if you keep dating strippers, escorts and porn stars you can’t expect vanilla photos out there); she’ll go back to “waitressing” and we’ll find something else to bitch about.
Why don’t we start with Brangelina who just bought a 70 million dollar mansion in France? Gee, I wonder how many more houses in New Orleans could have been built for that amount of change.
Okay I’m done ranting.
@just:
A real estate blog I read said it was not a purchase but a three year lease.
The one I pity isn’t SL she went into this with both legs open, she’s thought GC would put up with her because he was too afraid to say no. She learnt didn’t she? Nope, the one I pity is the next one, even if he plucked a nun from one of those untouched brazilian tribes just found she will face more press attention than ever seen.
I’d bet GC subjects her to a background check – will someone email Stan the url for Google?
This has all the earmarks of something that was carefully planned. As Shadow said above, the timing could not have been more perfect – she finally gets a shot (or considers it such) at Harpers, without a doubt one of the top fashion magazines in the world, ever, and poof, the balloon is popped and dreams turn to ashes (Joan Crawford, her eyes, focused just to the right of the camera, fill with tears, cue Max Steiner music. . . .). Now, not only is her career gone, but she’s humiliated as well. Hmmm, of course a few more minutes with him and HIS career would have been gone and humiliation? Oh yeah, she had that covered. But we (as in anyone with access to a computer or a friend with a computer or knows someone with a computer or heard the word ‘computer’) knew about her past way back in what, November? October? And he must have been aware of her past from the get go, or was at least smart enough to surmise it. And he still dragged her off to the Nobel Peace Prize award, then the Oscars last Feb. and then the Met Gala back in the beginning of May. However, he has been known to plan elaborate practical jokes that may take many months to unfold. Perhaps this Machiavellian turn also applies to revenge.
Again, my thoughts lead me down a dark path. Do you think he deliberately has been throwing her into the spotlight, building her up, just for this moment? I think if she did anything to really piss him off, it would have been back after the accident – they were everywhere after that. Public kissing displays, something he’s NEVER done before, and all the while this backlash against her building and building (and not just on this site). Mind you, I’ve no sympathy for her, even though in the very beginning I tried. Hey, I thought she was a REAL waitress, you know a real ‘shit on a shingle’, gotta feed the kids, workin’ hard for the tips waitress at IHOP or something. And don’t even try to tell me that they (Clooney and his cronies) weren’t aware of the negativity or were aware and didn’t take it seriously.
Unfortunately, if that was the scenario, I think he waited a bit too long for the denoument. Sorry George. I think he just started to look like a fool (no fool like and old fool), or a gay guy with an ill-chosen beard, or a self-absorbed egocentric who thought he was above it all. Maybe it’s just me, I’m still real disappointed in him and get no satisfaction from their break-up. So can anyone write me a “yes Virginia, there IS a George Clooney?”
JustW — Woohoo, someone lit one under you. We need a LOT more indignation (and action) before anything will ever change. I figured out my gas guzzler is getting something like NINE miles to the gallon around town, so started looking into ways to improve on that. shutting off the AC will have an effect on mpg. yeah, like I want to drive around without AC in the LA heat? oh, the choices. i think of some misogynistic middle eastern royal — who the fuck owns this stuff anyway — who probably this very minute has a new bevy of corn fed American call girls fresh off the plane in one of his ‘suites’ , and i realize that he sure needs my income more than me. the whole time that pump is fueling up my car with 4.12 per gallon premium i think about who is getting what, because it sure isn’t me that’s doing the getting (other than getting robbed). wait, i no longer use premium, because i called my dealership and found out that voila I can use 87 octane without ruining my engine. does the car run as well? no, but it doesn’t run terrible either. this is what it has come to. gas in europe is at NINE and up — strikes all throughout europe, some from truckers who are paying ELEVEN a gallon. the writing’s on the wall. wait ’til Chavez gets pissed off enough to cut off the flow! our reps in congress are all IN ON THE GAME. fleecing you and me has become one hell of a sport. a crumbling (completely crooked?) financial industry…explain to me why a private equity partner’s tax rate should be only 15%, last I checked, i paid double that. the world’s gone mad. and people like GC (I’ll pretend to be relevant here) just perpetuate the notion that anything you ever believed in (basic decency toward women for starters), well, you can kiss that dream goodbye as well. you’re ‘relieved’ to be single again? aww. if he DID have her move out while he was away, that is just so classless. snowden had it right. this one is never going to grow up.
Clooney left NY abruptly, WITHOUT Larson, and skipping the TIME event at the very last minute. It’s possible he broke up with her then, allowing her to take her things from his NY apartment and then giving Larson time to remove her things from L.A. when he went to Mexico.
It’s possible he dumped her after his birthday — hence Lainey’s observation of his overly affectionate way with Larson at the Met. He was making sure the media and Larson didn’t suspect a thing.
I think it’s kind of odd how everyone is now believing the breakup rumors.These are the same “journalists” who were reporting on how “smart and classy” SL was, remember? I’m not saying they are not apart ( I don’t think they even liked being together) I’m just suggesting that the details and rumors are more spin and white wash. Personally, I think they will be pictured together again this summer.
Also, there has been some mention of him killing her “modeling” career. What career is that? She is 29. SHE WASN’T REALLY A MODEL, remember? (I’m sorry, but using your butt as a billboard doesn’t count as modeling) Those photos shoots were a gift and part of the white wash, so that when people googled her she would look more legitimate and there would be some pictures of her that weren’t trashy. Usually, he puts his girls in a movie or tv, but there was the writer’s strike and the possibility of an actors strike (I think) so … she got modelling.
I do agree that her attitude and smugness was a huge turn off. I don’t think she got cocky, the way she carries herself, I think she always was. In all of the real photos, she is showing off and loving the camera always wanting to be the center of attention. From what I have seen and read she thinks she is hot and sexy. IMO she is lukewarm and has no idea what sexy is.
GC has met enough women like her to know exactly who she is. She wants to be famous, she thinks she should be, and she found someone who could hand it to her. JMO
I just want to correct something that has been bothering me every time it’s come up for the last 2 months. The reason George didn’t attend her fashion show is that it was the same day as his grueling L.A. press junket for Leatherheads. He was a little busy!!
SL is in Las Vegas with her (ex)-boyfriend Ryan Doherty. It’s just my opinion but I think she was still with him during her relationship with Clooney.
Source : Norm Vegas confidential
Doherty is the one who owns 944, the one where those “lovely” publicity shots were done, his parties, his girls, his clients.
SL was in vegas for the Palms opening, she’ll be the “poor ex of Clooney, keeping a brave face” for about another month, maybe less.
SL confuses sexy with sex, not necessarily exclusive but not necessarily inclusive. She hasn’t learnt a damn thing from this – she’s still wandering around the cookie aisle looking for work.
SL didn’t arrive or leave with her ex Ryan Doherty, she was just sighted dancing seductively with him or at him (I think that’s the ONLY way she dances). Hell she even tried a dance at deadc like that! I don’t think it takes much provocation on her part to do that to someone.
So I’m sure that it actually doesn’t mean anything other than she was drunk and doing her usual shtick. Also making a play for your ex when you’ve been dumped and you’re on the rebound is CLASSIC.
One more point … Norm is a lousy source. He exaggerates EVERYTHING.
Oh in case people don’t know what we’re referring to, SL made a paid appearance at the Palms Place on Saturday in Vegas. SL and a number of low brow “celebrities” made paid appearances at their opening party. Mini Me was one of the other “celebrities” who attended, just to give you an idea. This appearance of hers was buried in a press release that came out last week so it was likely booked before the announcement of the break up. SL arrived by herself, posed for a few pictures but skipped the actual red carpet press line and went in a private entrance — so she skipped all those photos and did none of the interviews.
According to Norm and only Norm, while there she was sighted dancing “provocatively” with (or at) her ex boyfriend Ryan Doherty.
Thanks to a one of my gals at imdb, here’s a great link:
Sarah Larson Forges On!
George Clooney’s mannequin call girl is on her own now that he’s cancelled his lease with her. Sarah Larson put on a brave face to attend the opening of Palms Place Hotel in Vegas last night. Scratch that. Her brave face is her only face. That shit don’t move. It takes a skilled wax artisan a couple of hours to give the ho a different expression.
Yes, Sarah was a guest at last night’s party. The ho better not get too comfortable because she’ll be back to serving Jello shots in a bikini next week.
Verne Troyer and Constantine Mouralis were also at the party. Sarah better have turned up the charm to snag one of these eligible bachelors. Although, I don’t know if she can handle Connie’s magnet stare. That shit could melt her wax ass.
http://www.dlisted.com/node/26291
Great points Quedice–her ‘voice to the world’, Norm, just referred to it as a ‘rumored’ split. And glad you pointed out she was a camera whore before all this..her advertising videoes show her hogging every shot with the fingers in the mouth move…but I don’t remember any article ever calling her classy…even GC couldn’t bribe people to do that, although Lord knows, I’m sure he tried.
Gas prices!!?? Nobody’s gonna’ wanna’ play here if the subject is gas prices…
Daffy – I’m sorry SL being seen so soon with her ex tells me she was never GC girlfriend in the first place. I now believe she was just hired arm candy to subdue some of the rumours on the net … whatever they may be. She was definitely a cover for something. I also think her ex was aware of her arrangement with GC and likely agreed to her escorting GC to his public engagements, hense the photos of her and her ex up against the wall in July. The attention she received in the media and the monetary compensation combined was well worth the effort on her part. This whole saga demonstrates the enormous lengths he and his team will go to to maintan his image – one of being a true lothario. I’m still on the fence regarding the latter.
On the website : norm! vegas confidential, they deleted the first article about SL’s dance and replaced it by another (more sweet, imo). In the first article, they said that it was ‘a SURPRISE to see SL at this event’. And they wrote that ‘SL was dancing PROVOCATIVELY’ and ‘she raised eyebrows when she was seen dancing like that in front of Ryan Doherty’. And no mention was made about a girlfriend.
New Kid- don’t be sorry for the next one- like Larson, she will get what she wants from the relationship; unlike Larson, she will have (based on Larson’s experiences) a better idea of what it’s going to cost her than Larson did. cLooney’s taste in women has been consistent. After years of pursuing pistachio do you really think he’s going to get a craving for plain old vanilla?
Not not interpret this to mean that I feel sorry for Larson. She’s old enough to know that things seldom work out exactly the way you planned.

@ new kid said:
“Nope, the one I pity is the next one, even if he plucked a nun from one of those untouched Brazilian tribes just found she will face more press attention than ever seen.”
New kid, first I’m laughing my ass off – you certainly know how to turn a phrase (plucked a nun) and second, yes I agree with you. The next one will have pap camera flashes shoved so far up her ass she’ll be able to light her own way in the dark.
G-forbid she has ANY indiscretions in her past and she’d better hope there aren’t any pictures of them out there that can be posted on the internet…
NewKid- Why pity the next one? cLooney’s taste in women has been consistent with each one a little worse than the one before. After years of pursuing pistachio why would he suddenly crave plain old vanilla? The next one will get what she wants from the relationship just like Sarah did and, having observed the George and Sarah show, will know what it will cost her better than Sarah did. Do not interpret this to mean that I feel sorry for Sarah- I don’t, she’s old enough to know that things don’t always turn out as you planned.
http://www.dlisted.com/node/26291/images/sarahlarsonpalmsplace1.jpg
Here’s OUR GIRL. It is odd that she looks very pretty without him and he looks handsome without her.
@Daffy… I had that same feeling too, that is why she always went back to Las Vegas often. She was there a few days before his birthday. That could be the real reason they lacked chemistry, she was still in love with Ryan. Also explained why she looked embarassed during their staged kiss in NYC last Fall. Also explains why they never ate alone!!! A lot of faults with their relationship are now clear to me. Explains why George Clooney cut her “budding” career off.
@ Those who think they didn’t break up…. come on now, Stan would have squashed this last week when it popped its ugly head.
@Bond Girl
Yeah, I heard he blew off that TIME dinner even after he confirmed he would be there!!!! He rarley does that. Wow!!!! Whatever happened must have happened then. Darn I was going to go with the he found out it was her who sent the “ditch the bitch phone call”. It seems like an boyfriend, was the culprit.
@new kid
LOL yes the new girlfriend will be a virgin, from a convent!!! There will be a background check, credit check and all sorts of googling!!
Dear deadc- I just posted this comment and accidentally posted it from a screen name I use for my knitting blog (A. Warped Knitter) I would be grateful if you could delete that and post this one under the name I use for more frivolous stuff- A Nonny Mouse- Thanks

deadc- I’m really sorry about this mess. I got cut off and didn’t think that the first comment “took”, came back and made the second under (I thought) the wrong screen name and now there are four. Look, if you could just delete all except the first one you will have my eternal gratitude…and a pair of hand-knit socks, too (just tell me where to send them). I was going to go over and leave a comment on your post about the digital camera rip off but I’m thinking this is not my day to be on the computer. Thanks again
Thanks to another one of my favorite gals at imdb, here’s another Norm Clarke entry:
Larson dances for ex-boyfriend
Friends are playing down a cabana sighting of Sarah Larson and her former boyfriend Ryan Doherty at the grand opening of Palms Place Hotel & Spa on Saturday night.
Several witnesses said Larson, the Las Vegas model who recently split with George Clooney, was dancing seductively in front of Doherty, a local media executive, who was with friends.
“There’s nothing to it. They’re just good friends,” said a friend of Doherty’s. “He’s got a girlfriend.”
Larson, 29, made her first public appearance since the news of her split with Clooney broke last week when she posed for about five minutes on the red carpet.
Larson and Doherty left the party together with their group of friends.
A request to put Doherty on the telephone to quell the rumors was declined by the intermediary.
Doherty and Larson dated for about a year and a half before she started going out with Clooney late last summer.

Notice it says “was dancing seductively in front of Doherty”, not with him. Given that he has a girlfriend that was more than a little inappropriate. She has a nasty habit of dancing like that in front of men when they have girlfriends. I see she’s up to her old tricks. Don’t throw yourself at the ex, Sarah. It just makes you look even sadder. Especially now that he’s moved on.
Also notice it was a friend of Doherty’s that contacted Norm to set the record straight. Embarrassing and even sadder.
Wanted to post this yesterday, but couldn’t.
GC usually dates about 4 months. Talley, Aguero were both about 4 months. If rumors are correct that he wanted to break it off in Sept that would be within this ‘timeslot’, if he met her in June/July.
Scenario: The studios pressured him for a ‘date’ to bring up the buzz for MC. He had met and liked SL from the O13 after party so he thought it may be fun to take her. He texts her, invites her to Como. They have fun and he brings her to the Venice Film Festival and the buzz starts. Now, perhaps she was only supposed to be around for the MC openings (Aug & Sept) and That’s It. GC isn’t into long-term, so a few months is OK, he could deal with that. It would suffice the studios, bring buzz and that would be all. Done. Movng on… Then the accident happened and everything changed (notice: so did the release date for Leatherheads-in Oct). After the accident, no smiles of him in photos. She is also seen everywhere with him. Something happened with that accident … (did GC have a few drinks? That is the only reason that I could think of that he would go so far with this whole SL charade. He may not have been drunk, but had one or two drinks. That would give SL enough ammo. GC would do anything not to be in one of ‘Those Celeb Mugshots’. My guess, just a guess. It had to be something serious enough that he would go thru with this for this long.)
Next theory – Was SL seeing her ex-bf while seeing GC? The photos of her humping were taken 6/07. Since SL may have only been on ‘loan’ from N9NE maybe everyone knew it was only supposed to be for a few months, including Doherty. Maybe SL & Doherty were still “humping” friends. SL would go back to Vegas frequently to visit “friends” every month. Could she have been seeing him during those visits, humping & plotting. Plotting & humping.
GC received a phone call in 01/08 from a guy. Could the caller have been Doherty? SL could have given Doherty GC’s (unlisted) phone number to place the “Dump The Bitch Dude or You’ll Be Sorry” call. Doherty probably knows everyone in Vegas and could possibly have “leaked” the humping photos (if they weren’t leaked by the N9Ne frenemies). He is in the photo so why not. He would know that releasing those photos prior to LH premier would be the devastating. Could he have done that to spite SL? Or could SL have known.
Next – If there are Photos of SL & Doherty humping, why wouldn’t there be a Video of SL & Doherty? Sound plausible? Not a shy girl. If there was a video, my guess would be that it would be with SL & him or he would have something to do with it (although if anything was released SL would be the focus). Also he would have it or knew how to get a hold of it. If there is a video, that may be his/their ace in the hole. Release a video making GC look even worse.
What if SL & Doherty never ‘really’ broke up. They seem to be quite chummy now, so soon after the SL & GC breakup. Doesn’t seem to be that she is all broken up about GC if she was ‘dancing provocatively’ for Doherty. Doubt highly it is to get GC jealous.
Do you think that SL & Doherty were somehow in this together? Do you think Doherty had something to do with it? The phone calls, photos, etc. After reading Norm’s comments today, even though Doherty supposedly has a girlfriend, doesn’t mean that they couldn’t have been humping, plotting or planning together since the accident. She could have been trying to make Doherty jealous and it worked and they thought they could see what they could get out of her “connection” to GC.
So, for something that was supposed to cause ‘a little buzz’ for the MC openings (and perhaps possibly appease studio heads), this turned into a nightmare for GC. I get the feeling that there was some type of Vegas-con going on here and GC was the target.
George Clooney didn’t just break off his fairytale romance with Sarah Larson — he did it abruptly, leaving the former cocktail waitress shocked and heartbroken and moving back to Las Vegas, friends of the former couple tell FOXNews.com.
“She thought they were getting married. Instead, she got dumped,” a friend said. “She’s really upset. Devastated.”
Larson found herself teary-eyed, packing her bags and walking out the door of the home the couple had shared in Los Angeles.
Friends said the 29-year-old fled to Las Vegas, where she was working at a nightclub in the Palms Casino Hotel before Clooney swept her off her feet one year ago.
The pretty brunette, a former “Fear Factor” reality show contestant, is already back with her old crowd. Larson made her first public appearance since the breakup on Saturday at the Palms Place Hotel & Spa’s grand opening party.
As things got serious with Clooney, Larson had moved into his Los Angeles mansion, subletting her home in Las Vegas. Tongues wagged that she might be “the one” when he took her to the Oscars this year.
Less than a month ago, the couple were in New York celebrating the actor’s 47th birthday. They were taking it slow, but they were planning to eventually wed, they told friends at the time.
“She’s totally heartbroken and doesn’t deserve this,” a friend said. “It came out of nowhere. They had made all these plans.”
Adding insult to injury, friends say, is this month’s issue of Harper’s Bazaar, which features Larson posed on a motorcycle, clad in Dolce & Gabbana.
The headline reads: “It Girl: Sarah Larson. Don’t hate her because she’s beautiful, fearless … and dates George Clooney.”
Even more painful: In the accompanying interview, Larson gushes about the love of her life, George Clooney.
The Oscar-winning actor/director/producer is one of Hollywood’s notorious bachelors — he’s been named People magazine’s Most Eligible Bachelor and Sexiest Man Alive (twice) and has been romantically tied to a bevy of Hollywood beauties.
He’s been married once, for four years to actress Talia Balsam. Ever since their split in 1993, Clooney has sworn he’ll never remarry. He’s had relationships with actresses Krista Allen and television host Lisa Snowdon.
“The battle of friends begins!”
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,361683,00.html
Let’s see:
Friend says “she sub-let house” SHE SAYS she has a room-mate and 2 cats
Friend says “they were getting married” HE SAYS nothing
Friend says “they were getting married” HIS FRIENDS SAY he told her from the beginning that he would never marry her.
Friend says “she’s devistated” I say PRICELESS, she really is clueless, she really did think she was “the one” who would change him, either through bullying or her charm (cough)
I call bullshit on Sarah and her friends, *5* minutes on the red carpet? With Z-list stars? Calling them stars is a huge stretch. If this came out of no-where and they were to be married, (bullshit) and this came about all of a sudden at his birthday party which was about 2-weeks ago? What smells about this?
Oh yeah, SL and her lies that’s what. GC is no jewel and he’s not stupid when it comes to women like Sarah, as Gramma used to say why buy the cow when the milk is free? He got for what he paid, she gave in turn for salary.
“but I don’t remember any article ever calling her classy…even GC couldn’t bribe people to do that, although Lord knows, I’m sure he tried.”
stevie c: GC not only tried, he succeeded. In October, People magazine did a cover story and an article on the GC/SL romance and GC’s team told People magazine that “he thinks she’s smart and classy”. Less than a week later the Mavrix pictures appeared and his PR never mentioned that he found her classy again.
And I just want to address the new round of conspiracy theories. We do not need to look to the grassy knoll to explain why SL danced seductively in front of Doherty on Saturday night.
1. The rebound play for the ex is CLASSIC, people do it all the time.
2. SL has done this before. She’s danced like this in front of a man when he has a girlfriend before, and she’s done it without a conspiracy theory being the reason for it.
3. The fact that it was Doherty who set the record straight makes SL look bad. If these two were in cahoots, SL would have been the one to correct Norm. She would have called and said (a) she was not dancing in front of him like that and (b) she and RD are just good friends and he has a girlfriend. But that’s not what happened.
RD via a friend (we know RD was in the room when the friend called Norm) was the one who issued the correction. He (a) did NOT deny that SL dancing like in front of him like that and (b) made sure we knew he wasn’t interested and had a girlfriend. This makes SL look pitiful, because it means she did it, and it means it made him uncomfortable.
For SL to save face, she would have been the one to issue the correction not RD, but that’s not how this played out.
4. There was no great love affair between RD and SL in July, either. Yes she was dry humping him against the wall but she was also on her knees trying to manually stimulate another guy on the very same night! If you had a dick that night she was trying to rub herself up against it one way or the other. Doherty was not special.
5. It’s highly unlikely SL was “in love” with RD the whole time she was with GC, and GC broke up with her because of cheating with RD.
To compare GC and RD … well there is NO comparison, on every level. Also, we know GC was the one who lost sexual interest in SL somewhere in mid-December. That’s when he started to only see her only once a month. For him to be upset that she was doing someone else, would require him to want to do her himself. And for all the reasons listed above, it’s obvious nothing was going on between SL and RD for the last year, anyway. She may have tried to make a play for him on Saturday night because she’s feeling sad, unloved, and rejected, but it looks like she failed.
There was no break-up because this was an arrangement. There was no cheating because this was an arrangement. There was no engagement because this was an arrangement. There was no moving-in nor moving-out because this was an arrangement. There was no leaving her job because this was an arrangement. There was no ending because there was no beginning. This was a PR stunt that had to be regrouped along the way because of snags and snares and for whatever reason both of them stuck it out, I am honestly surprised it didn’t get uglier than this. True, it probably dragged way along further than what had been planned. But I insist I feel no sympathy towards either. He enabled her shady lifestyle and she took the bait. He covered her up, and she bit back. It’s so very apparent and I can’t believe you all missed that. She resented being lied about, forced to be looked like something she wasn’t, interviewed to clear not her reputation but HIS. Mocked by him at every turn … the reality tv show comments, laughing at her flying off his bike, claiming on the red carpet she was a bet, telling everyone she got herself ready (and looked like shit to boot). She was mad that he DIDN’T play along better. She was mad that he DIDN’T deny ANY of the rumors flying around about her. She was mad she ended up looking like a fool and getting pushed out of the spotlight because of it. She almost made it seem like it was his FAULT all this negativity about her.
The Harper’s interview is just one example of her tagging him back. Read it again in a different tone. One of sarcasm and arrogance. She wasn’t being an idiot. That was actually one instance where she was shoving it right back in his face. It was hilarious, actually, and more than likely the reason he ended the arrangement. Everything she said was in stark contrast to things he’s been saying all along. She said what she did about not to consider G had he been on a reality show – because he has poked fun at reality contestants and shows for the last 9 months. She threw that back in his face. The supposed diamond earrings were to contrast the talk about her wearing borrowed jewels instead of jewels he bought her. Total lie. And G NEVER introduced her as his girlfriend. At most he has said, “This is Sarah.” He’s never even admitted to dating her/courting her/romancing her. He’s never called her anything but “Sarah” because she wasn’t his girlfriend. The Academies like a “modeling job” in which she “smiles and greets people”? What kind of a “modeling job” does one smile and greet people? Are we talking about HER kind of modeling, ie: escorting … where she just smiles and looks pretty? That’s not modeling. That’s escorting. Why would she even say it was like a modeling job unless again she was TRYING VERY HARD to CONVINCE EVERYONE that she’s a model (wink, wink)? She doesn’t get starstruck? Is this why this ho was so gung-ho to be in front of the camera with other celebs, like GEORGE CLOONEY? No, no. No star strickenness there. Yep, that’s just one more way she was trying to contradict people’s talk of her being a publicity whore – almost as if to say that she was not at all thrilled with even George, because truly – she wasn’t. Her thrill ended after being forced on the red carpet for the MC premiere after the accident. Her thrill was for herself as his thrill was for himself. Watching “Rock of Love” after all his negative comments about reality tv? Sure! That was her way of trying to again counter his negative feelings towards her and HER past by telling everyone that he DOES watch reality tv. Her father “became gay”? As if it’s a choice? No, her father finally rolled from out of the closet. I don’t call that “becoming gay”. She didn’t grow up with that being normal. That’s why she went haywire when it happened and transitioned from college degree to whore of the party. Making $1,000 a night … from JOHN’S like G. What a way to announce to the public what your nightly fee is, Sarah. Yeah, G. must be so happy that you’ve stated that in a magazine distributed worldwide. $1,000 a night cocktailing, wink wink. Trying VERY HARD once again to convince us where that money comes from. Why don’t you just spell it out that his nightly billing is $1,000.00 to be paid in full??? Yeah, they met 4 years ago when Krista Allen was his usual whore. Way to make a lie out of his past and show to everyone he makes a habit out of renting out girls. Why didn’t she just get a billboard on Sunset announcing her nightly fee and that he’s just a “regular”? His work in Darfur attracted her and not his money and a nice contract? What a dipshit! She actually made him look worse trying to bluff her way through just as he had done to her. So this was all about Darfur, huh? How come he didn’t take you there, then????
Tit for a tat. Talk about a walking contradiction: Good idea … go to Harper’s and announce he’s been bluffing for her all along. Tell everyone how much of a hypocrite he is. Yeah, that’ll surely make the contract end VERY quickly. And that’s why it did.
All in all, he didn’t KNOW her at all nor did she really realize what she was getting into, much less how to get out of it. The longer it went on, the uglier it grew. They despised one another. Why the arrangement came about and who made it is beyond me. I think it’s true he was relieved to be rid of her. He got what he deserved, though. That’s what you get for signing on some ho you don’t know who has an agenda of her own. That’s what a john gets for enabling a hooker. He allows himself to be whored out just the same as she does. He can’t be angry that her grungy past came seeping out. What do you expect from a hired arm candy? And she can’t be mad at him for lying about her to cover her up. She was the one dying to be famous. She should have made a better definition of what she wanted to be famous for. She made herself look dumb before, during, and after him. Makes me wonder if N9NE made her do this? Seems like neither one enjoyed one another’s company. I’d laugh my ass off if she got a boob job over everyone poking fun at her boobs. So much for her loving her body. She thoroughly dictates her every move based upon what other’s think …. that IS a famewhore.
Glad it’s over, as I know they are too. I am sure she and Ryan were never apart all along. So indeed, she does willingly whore herself out. Who chooses to allow their own lives to be trotted out like that? What an idiot!
You ask me, I think that this little war of arrogance has been going on for quite some time, but because of contractual obligations on both their ends, both had to smile and look dumb for the camera until someone behind this whole gag ended it. Could have been Stan or it could have been George whatshisass from Palms. I don’t think George C. would carry this on for as long as he had and I think she was trying as best she could to get as much SEPARATE attention away from him as if to say, “Yeah, I’m a star and it has nothing to do with this dope, George Clooney.” She wasn’t “crying” when he “dumped” her. She’s just mad the meal ticket’s been taken away and now must make appearances with reality losers and midgets.
He needs his ass beat and she owes a lifelong apology to the poor mother who birthed her pathetic twat.
Serves them both right. Maybe he’ll grow up now. If he finds a decent woman, he better affix his lips to her ass night and day because he just carved out a tough journey for her. Maybe a new one will beat him senselessly like he deserves and he’ll have to give her everything to show her that’s she worthy and welcomed and needed and loved, and not just some worthless walk down a red carpet in borrowed clothing and gemstones. I’m talking marriage, undivided attention, love and affection, separation of career from personal life, time alone, helping her with her own career, showing care and concern and humility and most of all, RESPECT and actually getting to know the broad instead of hoping she’ll just invest all her crazy time in HIM. He’s been built up to be in a position to be beat down into submission. Hope he’s ready. Because I am dying to seeing him down in the worship position! Now, beg, little boy, beg!! You want it so good, you’re gonna have to crawl on your hands and knees now.
Wow, from the state of my last post, you would think I didn’t know how to proofread. Why do I only spot all my typos two hours later?
This was how my third point was supposed to read:
3. The fact that it was Doherty who set the record straight makes SL look bad. If these two were in cahoots, SL would have been the one to correct Norm. She would have called and said (a) she was not dancing in front of him like that and (b) she and RD are just good friends and he has a girlfriend. But that’s not what happened.
RD via a friend (we know RD was in the room when the friend called Norm) was the one who issued the correction. He (a) did NOT deny SL was dancing in front of him like that and (b) made sure we knew he wasn’t interested and had a girlfriend. This makes SL look pitiful, because it means she did it, and it means it made him uncomfortable.
For SL to save face, she would have been the one to issue the correction not RD, but that’s not how this played out.
Don’t know if anyone saw ExtraTV yest. – had SL on the red carpet in LV and picked up the orig. Norm story of her “dancing provocatively” in front of her exbf.
Here is what happened:
George wanted to have sex with anyone. Sarah said no way. He wanted to have an orgy. Sarah was not down. She then went crazy and started acting mean and whinny. She got all passive aggressive on him. He said that he could go do it with any chick and she couldn’t do anything about it. She made some threat and the next thing you know, she’s back to the Elizabeth Berkley lifestyle of a Showgirl. I would cast her in the sequel.
It looks in the dlisted photo that Sarah may have gotten herself a boob job OR she’s padding herself. Notice the curvy spots about where normal folks have boobs. But ick, don’t look at her armpits, they look like crinkly granny sandbags. I would expect to see granny pits at 69, not 29. Eww.
Now in this picture, from People magazine, she’s sitting in a “chest thrust out” pose, so we should be seeing similar chest curvature, but we aren’t. Granted, if you go back and look at the Ashley Paige modeling photos, the boobs are introverted there too.
Anyway here’s your funny for today. Found this over on another board:
The “next generation” of Hollywood Beauty…
Sarah found Clooney’s Love Shrine to Brad Pitt, that’s what. Then she told him that to keep her mouth shut he had to make her into a star, then George said, “You want me to be your Svengali?”
… and Sarah looked at him blankly for a moment then said, “We can have sex later! I want to be famous, you dick!”
Tit for a Tat –
I’m in agreement with you on the whole arrangement synopsis. You summed it up in one sentence – ‘There was no beginning and there was no end’. The sole purpose of this arrangement was to feign a relationship in order to conceal or detract from something else. That, we may never know. Suffice it to say he and his spinmasters have failed miserably at playing his fans for fools.
From lainey…
George likes 3
Sara Larson is reportedly heart broken over her split with George Clooney. Fox News claims she was given no notice, asked to leave right away, pack up her stuff from his mansion in LA, and immediately flew back to Las Vegas to lick her wounds.
George on the other hand…well… George is licking some other things. At least according to my source who tells me exclusively that George allegedly had a little bit of fun at an LA area hotel (a chain) last Tuesday with not 1 not 2 but 3 ladies who looked like they were of the night.
George apparently checked in under an alias at 2am, no reservation, and did not appear to be sober. The ladies were giggling, could not believe their luck at landing Hollywood’s major player. At least for one night. George checked out at 9am wearing a hat and jeans.
We learned of his split from Sarah on Thursday.
Assuming the 4-some is true, knowing Sarah’s past why would she care? Unless he didn’t ask her to be part of the group.
All the stories are going to come out now, SL is great she works for AIDS and she’s my bestest buddy – she’ll survive (people.com) SL is devistated and GC is a cad (everyone in the universe who is on team Larson.)
How much is Team Larson getting even and how much is true? There were rumors (even printed here scroll waaaaaaaaay up) that Clooney wanted a three-some and his “date” wouldn’t participate so he took the girl upstairs leaving the date down stairs.
I’m sure Larson is hurt, breaking up hurts even if the guy was a fuck-wit and you’re glad it’s over. No one like being the dumpee and to have it done in the press is salt in the wound. But she jumped into this press frey with both legs open. To quote my hero SuperChicken “she knew the job was dangerous when she took it.” She accepted her expiration date the day she agreed to this deal/relationship/contract/beard/merkin (her myspace page says sexual preference not sure.)
If she thought he was going to marry her and she is TRULY shocked that he didn’t that makes one of her. Notice in the new Vegas pictures she seems to be wearing “the earrings?”
God love Stan, he had Charlie Sheen, Kelsey Grammer, George Clooney all whore monkeys. I wonder if Stan gives group rates?
