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

Wow, what a bunch of jealous children. Sarah has something great going and you can’t stand it. You can bet one thing. George and Sarah are not sitting home looking up what the little people are saying about them on the internet. They don’t care what you think…kind of drives you nuts doesn’t it?
Amazing – re They don’t care what you think…kind of drives you nuts doesn’t it? – no, not all. If they read this board and others, wouldn’t make a difference to me, I would still have opinions and still post them… :-)
Amazing – by the way… since you read this board (if it is a board…), and clearly searching the net for GC and SL content, does that make you a “little” person too since you contributed to the discussion?
Sorry – I had to point that out. I know you probably hated most of the comments posted here, but clearly you are looking for information on George and Sarah and felt compelled to defend… Somebody has to as the relationship is being torn to threads across the Internet. If you do not like what is being said here, please don’t go to IMDB.com as you will absolutely hate what is being said there… the stuff here is pretty tame.
I am amazed at the negative response GC’s and Sarah’s relationship has created across the net, and it is not by readers/posters only. The media has also clued in that this is more of a PR/publicity generating match than a love match…
Why do I care? I don’t really, to me this is fun, not focusing on myself and reading interesting posts and comments/opinions from people around the world on a subject of interest sure helps me relax and unwind from a busy day… each to their own :-)
Deadc – I understand that you are closely moderating the comments section now, but it sure has slowed down the discussion/comments as they are only being updated once a day (it seems to me). Anyway to losen it up a bit…
p.s. please don’t bite me… :-(
WB–
There is an automatic filter that requires approval on all comments. The problem is that if it is turned off the site would be flooded with spam. It has really slowed down because I’m the only one going through and approving the comments lately. You do make a good point however, and I will make an effort to moderate it faster if time permits.
Amazing, How f**uck’ed up is YOUR value system? Since when did a pole dancer from Vegas become Queen of the Land gazing imperiously ‘down’ on all us ‘little people’. I mean, really. So, in your mind, someone is ‘big’ as long as they either have or have access to $ (or their photo taken)?
The point that escapes you is that we ‘nobodies’ (who have a Voice on the Internet) have effectively neutered this country’s screwed-up, corporatized, PR machine with our posts. Ha ha. Who’s bothered now? We no longer ‘listen and believe’, meaning your PR henchmen, the dousers of the Flame of Truth, have lost the battle over PR spin. And that’s what ‘big people’ like you still do not get.
The GC-SL relationship is widely reviled on the ‘net due to the perception that SL has done nothing-has contributed nothing-and IS doing nothing-IS contributing nothing. It’s as simple as that. Fundamentally, it’s ABOUT that. Why don’t you come down off your high horse (just for a moment) to google GC’s past relationships to see if they generated this kind of venom. Balitrans? The venom doesn’t exist. Why? Well, let’s see, apparently a nice girl who was trying to make something of her life by going to law school, etc. Kelly Preston? Working actress. Snowden? An actual working model and talk show host/moderator.
Other than sitting in a hotel room having her nails/hair done and meeting with a stylist in prep for the next dinner out (presumably to be followed by a Blow Job for her benefactor/sugar daddy), what has SL done? Wait, we do know. Take a look at all the skank photos that surfaced in response to the ‘mystery girl’ moniker. Your PR guys first tried to spin her out as an actress/model, which was laugh-out-loud funny when the photos surfaced showing she was a cheap Vegas party girl. I guess that is an accomplishment of a certain kind.
So no, we just don’t buy the whole ‘holier than thou’ pedestal which you have put SL on. Like it or no, she is being judged, and is coming up way short.
My favorite quote in this entire thread:
T Pain (06:19:54) :
Do you know why I wrote “I’m in love with a stripper?” Shit, George don’t even know. Player play on.
Well WB, I look at the entertainment news for fun and I am sometimes interested in some thing about a particular public persona. I like and respect George Clooney as a talented and successful artist. I have always wondered why his personal life seems so unfulfilled. I have periodically read his interviews and it seems as though he would love to find someone but has has openly and honestly expressed doubts that he is mature enough to keep a relationship ….yet he was able to love a pig till death parted them….so why not a woman?
Then, he pops up with a coctail waitress from Vegas…kissing her in public and otherwise expressing what looks like sincere feelings for her in public. That tickles me …could this be the right woman for old George? I would like to see him finally find someone he is truly comfortable being with. For me committment is natural when you find the right person. I am happily married and enjoy my husband very much. I personally believe that emotional satisfaction in an honest and loving relationship is more valuable than all the money in the world.
When I say “little” people I am referring to the back biting, back stabing folks that are obviously miserable “little” people who cannot find happiness, don’t believe happiness is real or possible and love to launch into hateful denegration whenever they think someone is “pretending” to be happy. Little people look to tear down, they don’t build and therefore never find the personal or professional success that positive people do.
I also sympathize that finding the right person when you are rich and famous must be tough. Women can be back biting, cat fighting, selfish idiots that use men to satisfy their need for some kind of emotional superiority fantasy…but men usually don’t stay with women like that…for long. Women are more likely to stay with a selfish, pretentious man for money than the other way around. There are also just the undeniable odds in finding the truly right match…not always in our favor. Not to mention the number of times people settle and get stuck in the wrong relationship…because they fear being alone. They give up on themselves, is that the pain behind the anger and vemon?
So far GC has avoided getting stuck…and showed public remorse at dumping his first wife, took open responsibility for being too imature to be in a marriage. Not the usual confessions of a shallow guy who uses women.
My impression is that GC is intelligent and has integrity in relationships even though he hasn’t found the right woman yet. I have picked up on the past comments of Michelle Phiffer and others who have had relationships with him and still love and respect him. Obviously they don’t feel used or abused. They have big money bets with GC that he will marry because they know him professionally, publicly and privately and still believe he is a great guy who will one day find the right woman.
Yes, I came here to find out what kind of woman would capture old George’s heart the way Sarah obviously has, and was intrigued by the childhood picture painted by DeadC. His point of view can be looked at from many different angles not all of them are necessarily derogatory to Sarah…perhaps more so of DeadC and what sounds a rather motley crew….hanging out in bars, drinking beer and punching each other in the throat?
What disturbed me when I began to look at most of the comments is the venom and the absolute hostility in many of the opinions expressed. It makes me think that many people, like those in this chat forum, are looking to find fault. As though finding fault with someone who is happy might make them feel any happier?
It feels like crabs in a barrell…Sarah got out of the barrell and the other crabs want to pull her back in. How can anyone determine anything about Sarah based on her adolesent desire to be different from the other crabs? She left Washington, moved on, met George and now is having a great time enjoying his love, attention and affection; publicly and privately.
You can find so much putrid attitude expressed on the internet if you want to look for it. Much of the negative interpretation and speculation is jealously and envy….I usually ignore it. My motivation is to look for uplifting and positive human growth, and development because that is what we are all capable of….not to hope that people are all selfish stupid idiots being used, abused and degraded.
I was first of all amazed at the number of comments at this site…but mostly disappointed with the level of negative, petty humanity I read here (at a glance) and felt the need to comment on it. I seriously doubt that anything I have to say will affect anyone’s insistance on looking for proof of their negatiave expectations and sour beliefs…but maybe someone will be inspired to contemplate and think about how much good it is actually doing them to harbor such resentful desire and gloating in hopeful expectation for another’s unhappiness. I have often wondered if that isn’t what cancer is.
And, really people, do you honesly think that famous, successful, talented George Clooney needs a pretend coctail waitress love affair to get attention? You don’t think the press is already all over this guy wherever he goes with or without arm candy? He could have a new woman on his arm every day and get even more attention from the press. Pull in your claws people and try to live positive. If you believe happiness is possible for others you open a door to find it yourself.
I am talking to you Shut the F*k up….
Thanks WB for caring. I wish you a speedy leap out of the barrell.
Amazing–
Since you have chosen to reference me in your post, I have chosen to respond.
I think that your posts and viewpoints are a bit skewed as well as terribly misguided. It seems that since you feel that your posts are “more positive” than others, then they must make them less jaded or strained logically, but I don’t feel that’s the case at all.
I never said that any of us would hang out in bars or “punch eachother in the throat”. You are reading into this and taking the text in the direction that best fits your agenda which is fairly hypocritical according to your post. When we lived in Kent we were in Highschool and we did not attend bars. The town itself was a dead end and that’s why we all left. If we felt comfortable in a scene like that we probably would have stayed.
As far as your view of Sarah as a crab trying to move herself out of a pot, it’s somewhat of a gray area. What is positive or negative is rather subjective and that is your major oversight. She was surrounded by some fairly creatively motivated people. People who have made albums, played concerts and travelled, those who have published written work, made and edited films, and have even recieved jobs in such fields training others. When I question if she wanted something “better”, I didn’t mean what you seem to want it to mean. I meant, maybe it wasn’t for her because maybe she wanted fancy expensive shit. Some people are happy going after projects that they believe in regardless of the lack of monetary rewards that they may reap, others need some sort of financial compensation, and still others only want the loot.
I’m not going to judge which of these previous approaches is more “ethical” because, again, that’s clearly subjective to the individual, but I know that my views are clearly different and I feel that your comments are really off base. You derived certain things from this article that others did not. My comments are what they are, but whatever anyone pulls from the writing, on some level, must be a reflection of their own character.
Regardless of which “side” or viewpoints anyone may have, for or against this relationship, it’s funny how passionate some of the responses can be about these individuals that most of you will never meet.
There’s no reason to “hate” a stranger, or love one for that matter, that you’ve seen on television based off of a relationship with this much media intervention, but I also think its aburd to love someone because they are in a relationship that gets them cash. If you want to talk so much about “the one” its odd that everyone believes that George Clooney would absolutely and obviously be the perfect catch for anyone. Not long before the last time that I saw her, she had just gotten a degree studying in the science field and was painting. If your assumption is that by abandoning the pursuit in a career researching medical cures for the diseases like the one that has plagued her own family to become a coctail waitress/dancer with designer handbags which were paid for by someone else, is pulling herself out of “barrell” maybe your priorities aren’t shared by all others on this site and that should be taken into account.
Earth calling Amazing!! Earth calling Amazing!! Do you have a spell check? I didn’t think so. Do you have a brain check? I hope so. Because if I were you, I would not go around making statements in public about how GC’s long-term relationship with a PIG makes him capable of a long-term relationship with a woman. Newsflash. It’s a different animal. Altogether. Also, what’s with all these metaphors? I’m positively (you’ll like that word) dizzy. Are we little people in the shape of crabs trying to crawl out of a barrel, or are we just crabs trying to crawl out, or just little people? Or is Sarah the Queen of the Land (made big by her association with a celebrity) staring us down in our barrels (yet not really caring)? I mean, really, get a grip. You can also spare us your big lavender love splashes about happiness. Go back to your cave, or have your husband drag you back in by the hair. SL is a snack on GC’s smorgasbord of women Nothing more.
Wow, well, can only say, as one of the little people, I am not so sure its something to celebrate when you are gaining attention, not from your own work, but from your sexual association with someone else, whose work is well known.
Nor do I resemble a crab, and for goodness sake, what has it come to that its perfectly ok for a woman in her prime to toss it aside, to follow a middle aged, semi-talented man around as his, ah, girlfriend, and that is considered, reaching a peak of success worthy to be bragged about.
I don’t respect any woman who earns a degree and decides to instead use her body to get work, nor do I think its a good idea to hook yourself to a man, who thinks commitment is only for projects, and shows more warmth, genuine warmth for his work.
I cant and wont speak for anyone else here, but she has nothing I want or wish I had. At the same time, if it were anyone else, they would get the same treatment, considering her actions. And less we forget Katie Holmes got banged up and so did Mr. Sofa Jumper. If you behave in a less then normal manner, if your actions are contrary to your words, it will be discussed, be it George Clooney and Sarah Larson or Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
According to her ex Sarah moved to Las Vegas because of the Oceans movies and had long admired George, but as an actor of course. At least she didn’t try and pull the “I had no idea who he is” routine. And the way she looks at and for the camera its clear where her loves lies.
I don’t know why entirely their relationship if rubbing some the wrong way. Snowdon got some bad press, but not nearly as much, so did Allen, again, not nearly as much.
And it also bears mentioning that fans are not the only ones not believe their relationship is based on anything but business. These professionals who work in the business, report on the business, cant all be jealous.
Little people? Are we to then assume because she is having sex with George Clooney, his penis has made her important. News flash: you cannot share career achievements via body fluids. Just in case you didn’t know.
And really at the end of the day, Sarah doesn’t give a damn about what any of us think and neither does George Clooney, it is what it is, and they will continue with their work, regardless.
This isn’t personal, its a group of strangers, discussing some old man and his recently acquired kept lady friend, it happens every day, all day, in cities and countries across the world. She has wads of cash to spend, while she waits at the hotel for him, and he has a young woman on his arm, to pretend he is young and desirable. Its as old as time, and I wouldn’t order the perfect wedding gift, not just yet.
Deadc – thanks :-)
From1girl2u (13:28:55) :
“He is very intelligent but also very down-to-earth. –I mean, we would go out locally in LA for dinner and not get papped because George doesn’t play that game.”
EXACTLY! That is the point that many of us is trying (or have) made… GC is playing a game and Sarah is going along for the ride…
I think many of his fans have reacted badly because he is “playing a game” in order to generate “more” publicity. He may be enjoying his time with Sarah, but at the same time he is “playing”…
It goes back to the comment T pain posted…. player play on…
O.K. lighten up DeadC and Anon….I don’t usually enter these chat discussions but I dropped back in just in case I might have dropped a bomb.
That crabs in a barrel comment really hit a nerve….
Sorry you felt the need to defend yourself DeadC.
Anon, I’ll try harder to check my spelling. I am not spending a lot of time here…typing it in Word, checking spelling, and copy/pasting….
there may be more “errors.”
I just stumbled on this chat forum by chance. Once I saw that CHAT stands for: C ommunicate H ateful A ttacks T ime, I decided to poke the “bear.”
First of all, I should tell you DeadC that I sincerely respect that you decided against selling your story to the tabloids and put it up here instead. Your self considered restraint reflects integrity on your part. You saved Sarah a good deal of mass humiliation by doing that. The tabloids love to stir up jealousy and hatred by misrepresenting the facts. The fact that you could have made money at her expense and chose not to is rare.
All the stuff about Sarah being selfish, only wanting money and the rest….and GC being just a selfish user of women for publicity….why do you all need to think that? Have you spent any time actually listening to George Clooney speak about his acting, his roles in movies, why he chooses them, his failed marriage….? Anything objective here?
Can you know for certain that Sarah hasn’t grown up? When was the last time any of you actually spoke to her? If she is a shallow person who only loves money … how does that reflect on any of you?
I don’t understand the purpose of your entire documentation other than a somewhat sacred opinion of your own personal impressions of her earlier years DeadC. You obviously don’t like her and resented her relationship with your x-girlfriend. It sounded a bit like you blame her for the end of that relationship.
The Sarah/GC relationship certainly has caused a firestorm of hatred and according to WB other sites are hurling even uglier insults at her. To your credit DeadC, you are screening the really nasty stuff out. Kudo’s for that.
Why would anyone want to hate Sarah for dating GC?
Anon gives us some insights.
He says: “Is Sarah the Queen of the Land (made big by her association with a celebrity) staring us down in our barrels (yet not really caring)? Those are powerful assumptions but is that how her dating George Clooney makes you feel Anon? Why..?… She is only dating George Clooney. He isn’t bigger or better because he is a successful actor. He is just a guy who is good at what he does and a pretty nice guy at that. You can bet he does not waste his time gossiping on the internet, worrying about other peoples motivations for being in a relationship and dragging people down….maybe puts his energy into higher pursuits?
I am completely amazed at the level of hostility and merely wanted to point it out in hopes of creating an observation that allows for some objectivity. I am moved to say to all the haters….check out your selves and your motives to hate.
Sarah and George are having fun dating….and they don’t care if you like them or not. Your giving yourselves acid stomach and it isn’t preventing them from having any fun.
The crabs in the barrel analogy fits here Anon, WB et all…here’s why:
People who are afraid they can’t reach a level above them always want to pull anyone from their level, who seems to be headed up, back down. That reassures them that reaching another higher level is impossible, they are not really losers afterall, that there is glory in the so called lower levels and thus justifies their inability to take action toward achieving the higher goals they fear failing. People are mostly insecure and terrified children who need to worship, follow or hate others as a self induced reaction to protect and defend their own inner doubts and fears. What really separates the Sarah’s and George’s from the other crabs is they focus on their goals and not on worrying about what other people think.
Just like 2 plus 2 is 4.
And, Anon…if you can love a pig you can love anyone or anything.
Amazing–
I didn’t feel as much of a need to defend myself as I did to point out your constant inaccuracies.
“When was the last time any of us talked to her?” A good friend of mine actually spoke to her right before the accident, I just didn’t stay in contact with her and that’s been done by choice.
I think the reason why people are responding to your posts is because they seem a bit hypocritical. Your posts are extremely condescending towards people, elitist, and accusatory. You seem to talk about assumptions but you seem to be making a lot of them yourself.
Just because you think that you have discovered something about life, it seems that you’ve chosen to preach it to others, and its not a new concept. People keep doing that, especially here for some reason, but you have to expect some folks to resent that. I’m sure if people focus on your typos, although they are irrelevant, it’s most likely because you seem to be coming from a self elevating approach with your posts on here.
While I’m on the topic of elevating, I’m like to reiterate what my confusion is about your arguments. I just don’t get your references about raising yourself to a higher level. People have different views about what that means and, since you don’t really seem to have any interest in acknowledging these varying beliefs, you will continue to lack objectivity. The reason that Sarah is recieving a lot of press right now isn’t because of risks that have been taken to elevate herself. She’s not working without a net dear, she has a big one and it’s made of cash. Why are you yourself “assuming” that she has “grown up” in the last few years, or even what that would entail? I know whay and it’s because there are blind views of Clooney, and not just him, all celebrities.
“She must have “grown up” to be a completely different person and is amazing now or else George Clooney wouldn’t date her?“, right?. Is that the angle everyone is going with, because its ridiculous? A relationship that she’s in now doesn’t make her more important than in the past and it doesn’t change where she is mentally or spiritually now. It’s just kind of ridiculous period and all of these different and insistant views are, if nothing else, fascinating.
As for your assumptions (more assumptions yes) about my relationship ending and me blaming Sarah for it…. fuck it. I’m not going to waste energy trying to work around that subject, because those are two different subjects. I will say that I toned parts of this article down and that I didn’t go into detail about certain aspects because they are old and dead. If I added them, or if I add them now to break down your assumptions, it wouldn’t be right. It would give too much of an agenda to my article and I don’t really have one. I left certain things out because they would come across too defamatory to her character. I understand that by doing so I may leave a few small gaps that are open to interpretation by people like yourself, but I’m not here to get upset or feel anything from these posts that would require any intense emotions.
I don’t really care directly about pop-culture, but one thing that I can’t deny is that I am fascinated by the fact that other people are fascinated with it.
Wow Amazing – I am glad you posted as you have really stirred things up! lol
Now, I decided to originally not respond to you as I felt Deadc pretty much summed it up well for me and by me adding to it, I felt you were going to feel attacked.
With regards to “People who are afraid they can’t reach a level above them always want to pull anyone from their level, who seems to be headed up, back down. etc…” – now, I can sit here and throw an insult back to you about your post but I won’t, I don’t see the point of it, we are all from different nationalities, backgrounds and cultures, with different views etc. This is your view, I don’t agree with it but I don’t feel the need to belittle you either.
I will say this though…
With regards to my achievements and trying to bring someone down etc… you know NOTHING about me, and you won’t either. You don’t know whether I am a brain surgeon letting off some steam on the net or a waitress. Isn’t that the beauty of the Internet… we can all express opinions about something or someone without having to justify our “worth” or whether we are high-up enough the ladder etc…
By the way, do you really know for a fact that George and Sarah are not worrying about what other people think? Sarah may not be (though would not surprise me at all if she knows this site exists)… but it is highly likely that George’s PR reps do in order to gain a sense of what his fans are thinking……. Without giving away my background, you may want re-think this thought…
ok Amazing, I’ll stop laughing long enough to ask you about what ‘separates the Sarah’s’ from the rest of us, she “focused on her goals?” What goes would that be? Her grad school applications? Her volunteer work in India?? Her goal was to be famous and get paid, so she ate bugs and drank blood and wore skimpy skanky outfits to serve gross drunk gamblers drinks in a Vegas casino, honey. Well sure she achieved those goals.
Then she was a model, then an actress, now you want us to believe she’s Princess Di. Sorry –if you have real goals in life, you achieve them on your own, you don’t give good camera and what all else to hang on a movie star’s arm and sit in a hotel all day.
And they DO care what we think, that’s why she had the Armani clothes to wear and bling at the Europe film festivals. If she didn’t care what anyone thinks, why didn’t she wear her work uniform and grab a tray of wine glasses and help out at the parties? If George didn’t care what we thought why did he make it a point to parade her around so we’ll talk about him and his movie? That’s why the first spin was “little known British actress” then MAW. Because they care VERY MUCH.
And the crab analogy is getting old, but I have to say what wer’re all thinking…hope the ones on this board are the only ones involved in that *cough* relationship.
I know yr better than the rest of us little people, but take the rose colored glasses off. Maybe you’ll see what everyone else sees.
“Yes, I came here to find out what kind of woman would capture old George’s heart the way Sarah obviously has”
Uh… I wouldn’t go that far. Just another notch on the belt, really.
Amazing(ly) Wrong —
“He says: “Is Sarah the Queen of the Land (made big by her association with a celebrity) staring us down in our barrels (yet not really caring)? Those are powerful assumptions but is that how her dating George Clooney makes you feel Anon? Why..?…”
Actually, no, that is not how SL dating GC makes me ‘feel’. You are the one who seems to believe that SL is now a bona fide national treasure, and have elevated her to celebrity/Queen status, not me. I was merely making fun of your thought processes through ‘irony’ and ‘sarcasm’. In short, you missed my point (entirely).
To the contrary, what I think is this: She is a Vegas party girl who hit the mother lode and has a few months of GC’s cash and time in exchange for sexual services. It’s an old story.
If you want elaboration, read Molly’s (brilliant) post; it echoes my sentiments exactly.
Amazing is totally geezed. No one here is agreeing with your basic premise that SL has reached a ‘higher level’. Did your family tree never fork? Is your brain so dense that it bends light?
Okay, here’s what I’m thinking. My wife and I just saw Michael Clayton. Any actor with the matinée idol features that Clooney has that opts to take roles like Michael Clayton instead of playing romantic roles to his audience – is way (waaaay) more complex than most are giving him credit for. My hunch is that he’s so complex that he has been unable to find a woman that suits him, most being drawn to his looks/stature and/or interested in playing the Hollywood game. I haven’t read much about Clooney’s background, but I suspect he was drawn to Hollywood for a more complex range of motivations than we imagine, that he’s there somewhat reluctantly, but is making the best of it. Dating women like Sarah Larson means he’s staying busy (dating) and is thumbing his nose at the relationships most Hollywood observers would expect him to take.
Wow! Stopped by to see what was up here, and boy it sure is interesting. Then went over to check out the posts on IMDB that were referenced here. This blog is sort of like an uncensored sociology expriment on fame, sex, and double standards. The various message reveal a lot about American culture.
Why the interest in celebrity lives and gossip? Well, it’s a safe, mostly non-offensive topic you can discuss w/ just about anyone. I read about 2-4 gossip sites a day, and People magazine. I also read the local paper, and various news sites and blogs. I made the mistake of mentioning something about Iraq at work and was reprimand by an employee who has a son over there and told me several other staff members also have family over there. I would love to be able to discuss Iraq/possible attack on Iran/denial of children’s healthcare/global warming, etc but w/ the current divided views in this Nation, there is no way to discuss these topics intelligently and w/o someone confronting you on it. That leaves the weather/pets/angry patrons/celebrities to discuss. What I do know is most of my co-workers read US/People or other tabloids, and I can have a pleasent chat w/ all of them about Britney’s parenting “skills”, whether George will marry Sarah, and if J. Lo really is pregnant w/ twins. It give us all a nice, neutral connection, and even if our views differ on celebrities it does not raise the contention that discussing Bush II would.
Also, it is amusing. If I am having a bad day, I can at least be grateful that I haven’t tried suicide like Owen Wilson. Sort of the same reason I watch Oprah, I’ll be sitting around feeling sorry for myself over something petty, turn on her show and see a woman who survived being gang-raped by soldiers, having her arm cut-off, the same thing happen to her 5 yr old daughter, than walked 2 days carrying her daughter w/ the good arm to find medical care in Sierre Leone. It helps put my life in prespective and gives me a reality check by reminding me of all I have to be grateful for.
When the photo’s first came out of George and Sarah, the expression on his face was one of adoration/infatuation/god i’m so happy to be near you, that I honestly thought he found someone he loved. In fact, after seeing the pictures of them together my mom swears they will be married by December, though we both found it odd that Sarah had her eyes open and was looking away from him in one of the kissing photos, which led us to wonder about her reasons for being w/ him. So curious about the woman who seemed like she might make George Clooney eat his words about “never getting married again”, I looked for her on IMDB, since the press was claiming she was an actress/model, only she wasn’t there. I Googled her and turned up some of her Las Vegas past, and your very interesting blog.
Dead C any chance you or one of your friends might now Sarah’s date, place and if possible time of birth? I would still love to see a natal chart on her. Also you mentioned in one of your posts that Sarah painted, which I find interesting, since most people seem to think all she does is party, and does not have any creative or intellectural pursuits.
The posts here and IMDB reveal lots of anger/resentment/venom/jealously towards Sarah. I understand people being upset that she is getting so much media attention for not really having done anything, I feel that way about Paris Hilton/Nicol Ritchie, etc. What I find most interesting is how some of these posts reveal the ongoing double-standard for women.
Posters pick on her for having her Bachelor of Science, but not using. Well, the sad reality is if your young woman and have a good body, you will make a hell of a lot more money, and gain attention working in a job where you flaunt it. Why work in lab of stinky samples, wearing a white coat when you can have a job where you wear minimal clothing and get paid to party all of the time. Let’s face it, if Sarah were doing the white-coat job, she probably never would have met George Clooney. Hell, she could have won a Nobel for finding a cure/vaccinne for AIDS/Cancer and still not met him. That being said, choosing a career where your main asset is your body, not your ability is short term thinking. Bodies change and age, and if that is the reason your hired, it can also be the reason your fired. If it was something she did short term to save money for a house, to start a business, or to do art, that would make sense. But in the long run, when Sarah and other woman in image based professions, find they are older and can no longer support themselves that way, they will have a hard time finding a job in the regular working world. Most employers are leary of people who have spent years not working in their field, and basically Sarah will be back to square one if she needs to go into a science career. Of course, she could always go back to College for an advanced degree.
Then there is the whole Cinderella/Pretty Woman aspect of the relationship/story. Most women were/are raised on the fairytales/Disney movies of the Prince showing up, sweeping you off your feet, adoring you, showering you with presents, and then you live happily after. Most women realize this won’t happen, but it’s still a tantilizing fantasy. The only catch is to run off w/ Prince Charming, you have to give up YOUR LIFE. It’s not a relationship/partnership based on equality. The power in the relationship resides w/ Prince. So Sarah giving up or taking time off from her job to follow George around, indicates he will hold most of the power in their relationship- unless he is truly, madly, deeply in love w/ her, in which case she will have the upper hand. The whole Venice film festival w/ Sarah in the designer gown and borrowed jewels, was such a replay of Pretty Woman where Richard Gere dresses Julia up, borrows jewelry for her, and flies her up to see the oprea in San Francisco to impress her, it isn’t even funny.
Though w/ Cinderella and Pretty Woman, happy endings ruled the day. If this works out for Sarah and George great, but if it doesn’t going from the red carpet and designer dresses, back to working in a club to pay the bills will probably be painful. That being said, most other women if offered a similiar opportunity would probably seriously consider it or even take the chance. How often does an opportunity like that come along? But always in the back of your mind is the awareness, that you can be dropped as easily as you were picked up.
There is also tons of anger/resentment at George Clooney, himself. His public/movie star persona is classic/old Hollywood/charming/intelligent/funny/humanitarian. In the past 2 months, he has done several things that contradict this public image, and might show glimpses of the man behind the hype. Many of his fans feel betrayed by this. He seems so genuine and down to earth in his interviews, you start to believe he is like that in his private life.
Because of his public persona, people want to see him w/ a classy, intelligent, independent woman w/ her own life. Someone who looks great on the red-carpet and can carry on a conversation w/ all kinds of people on a wide variety of topics. Because of her previous career and the Girls Gone Wild pictures of her on the net, people assume Sarah is not capable of being that woman. You might be able shed more light on whether or not she can pull that off Dead C. Also, when they were first seen together the press was saying she was a model/actress. Now I don’t know if the press started that rumor, or if it came from the PR machine linked to Clooney and/or the Michael Clayton movie, but it looks bad when it comes out she was a cocktail waitress w/ the accompanying photos. Everyone looks foolish, and like they were trying to hide something.
Then there are the contradictions about his personal life. He states in interviews that he doesn’t like to discuss his personal/dating life, and now he is seen out and about, and having PDA w/ his new girlfriend. Some posters on IMDB claim this whole relationship is a publicity ploy for Michael Clayton. I wouldn’t go that far. The photo’s of them from France and Italy show a very happy couple. George looks thrilled to have her around and vice versa. It is interesting to note that the body language has changed since then. In those first photos, he was always standing close to her, in her intimate space, and usually beside her when they walked. In more recent photo’s, they are still touching (hand holding, arm on torso or touching her face), but he is keeping an arm’s length of distance between them, and he is usually walking in front of her or behind her. Some of this is the result of the crutches, but even w/o them he is usually snapped holding her hand and leading her around.
What is odd is how much they are photographed and how much they go out, considering they were both injured in the motorcycle crash and he is working on a movie. One of the posts on IMDB stated that TMZ.com is owned by Warner Brothers, and the WB is involved in Michael Clayton. TMZ.com is usually the first and most frequent publisher of Sarah/George going out pics, so that makes sense. It seems like the relationship is now being used for PR. All those photo’s of them out and about. They could avoid or minimize press exposure if they wanted too, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Unfortunately, the whole Sarah/George relationship seems to be detracting attention from Michael Clayton, which is getting rave reviews, but not great box office numbers. The whole Sarah/George hype might have died down, but then they were in the accident a few days before the US premiere, and both attended the premiere showing their injuries. Once again, the focus was on them not the film. If I was Tilda Swinton, Sydney Pollack, or Tony Gilroy, all well-respected in their fields, I would be very perturbed that a great film I busted my ass for was being lost in all the press about one of the co-stars lovelife and accident. Several people on IMDB stated they would see Michael Clayton in the theater, since they were turned off by his relationship w/ Sarah. There is always the chance that George is so in love that he just doesn’t care about the press anymore, and wants to show Sarah off. Though I doubt that, since it seems to be a 180 degree turn around on his view of the paps.
Also George contradicts himself by the string of younger women he has dated this year. He is on the record as saying he didn’t want to be an aging Playboy when he was in his 40’s chasing younger women, and he seems to have become that which he hoped to avoid.
Finally, the Nespresso ads. I understand it takes money to be a movie star. Those large salaries quickly diminish when you are paying an agent, publicisit, assistants, etc. So I’m not knocking him for earning extra money as a spokesperson. It’s just when you are campaigning to change conditions in Darfur, and are part of one. org fighting to end poverty in Africa and other developing/third world countries, but make ads for the subsidary of a multi-national which is on the record w/ the UN and local governments for violating laws and endangering children, you are contradicting yourself and diluting the very issues you are campaigning for.
Perhaps next time, he will do a better job of vetting the company he is working before signing on the dotted line.
It will be interesting to see how this relationship/story plays out. Perhaps it is a true love and connection on both their parts and they will have a long-term relationship, or perhaps it’s an aging, playboy movie star, with commitment issues having a rather public mid-life melt down w/ a hot, young cocktail waitress who loves to smile for the camera.
Amazing-read your posts. Their is a huge difference between living w/ pets, even pigs, and people. Pets, as long as you feed and care for them provide unconditional love and companionships. The worst your dog, cat, or pig could do is runaway or die. People can betray you, run up your credit cards, fight w/ you, be mean, etc. People can be down right viscious to each other, which is why I think most people prefer pets. Also, Sarah and everyone else is capable of personal growth and change, but it doesn’t mean they choose to do so.
Dead C- Thanks for such a fun and interesting blog, and for letting people voice their thoughts/opinions. I really appreciate it.
I think it’s pretty clear that, whatever his relationship with Sarah Larson is (and all of us are just guessing), she’s already hurting his career. Despite overwhelmingly positive reviews and tremendous promotion, Michael Clayton lost out in the box office to Tyler Perry. I’ll repeat: Tyler (Who?) Perry defeated George Clooney at the box office. The numbers are still not clear, but it’s possible Michael Clayton came in third at the weekend box office. That has to give Clooney some pause.
I live in NY and would have gone to see the Michael Clayton the day it came out, but I found the whole Sarah affair tacky, distasteful and a total turn off. I’m probably going to wait until the movie comes out on DVD to watch it. I doubt that I’m the only Clooney fan who’s been turned off by his dating the scorpion-eating girl-gone-wild.
As of the report today, Clayton came in third, behind Tyler Perry’s film, and The Rock’s film. It grossed 11 million and was released in 2500+or- theatres. The per theatre average is strong…I don’t see that overall “take” as ‘failing’ in any way. Way to early to say, but my guess is between domestic and international, the film will do well.
I was not going to see MC due to the turnoff about the SL relationship, but am now reconsidering. Because, why punish a hard-working, genuinely friendly actor (reporters have nothing but good things to say about this guy because he treats them with respect) who does good work, just because I don’t approve of his choice of girlfriend?
anon- please see the movie. It is a flawless piece of art and deserves to stand on its own.
This movie is very great, unfortunately just overshadowed by a poor choice in PR. I think she (Sarah) did kill the B.O. totals because more attention was paid her and those damn crutches than anything.
Otherwise, I love Clooney and his acting and think he is sexy. This movie was brilliant and so are his good choices in work. I don’t think he’s found the right woman yet and just hasn’t chosen to settle for less unless it’s an extended romp in the hay made to look nice, hence these little tarts. But I do believe he needs to make a conscious effort to think about and bring about his ideal woman because he behaves like he doesn’t believe she’s out there. You know that even though he might say he’s happy as he is, inside he’s drowning and burying it all behind work like lots of entertainers do. It’s the drama the helps the creative side do it’s genious. Guess at least he’s making lemonade out of lemons, but sooner or later the guy is going to be begging for real love. Hopefully he’ll know how to pick out a winner.
I’m not a he, but a she (another thing Amazing got wrong). The only reason I would go see MC is in a show of support, not because I really think I need to see another movie. On another topic, I don’t go to movies often for the simple reason that I don’t find most top American (male) actors all that interesting or convincing or sexy or charismatic as leading men. Pitt? Please! A woman in men’s clothes. Hanks? My grandmother in men’s clothes. Vin Diesel? A cartoon (or popeye?) in men’s clothes. Jim Carrey? A joker to be sure, but a man? Not feeling it. Mel Gibson. You must be kidding, and he probably should not be on my list anyway, since he’s Australian. De Caprio? My teenage niece in men’s clothes. I saw a video of Tony Gilroy (director of MC) being interviewed about the making of MC and got exactly that same feeling of “where’s the man in the man?”. What IS it with American men? In a restaurant not long ago, I overheard some 30-something guy referring to women at the next table as ‘douchebags’. Today, three young guys passed me on the sidewalk (decent neighborhood) and it was all ‘bitch this’ and ‘yo, I said bitch…” that. If I paddle across the seas, however, I can find Clive Owens (British), who, along with Russell Crowe (New Zealander), are two of the sexiest and charismatic actors working in film today. I just don’t get why American actors seem to be pale imitations of men, not the real deal.
Wow you guys, I am not trying to put anyone down I am trying to get you out of the attack mode and into your thinking caps. That’s the problem with words without facial expressions to go with them. I wondered what would happen if I gave back as good as you have been giving to Sarah.
I think our cultures fascination with the entertainment world is both fascinating and disturbing. Actors are just people. The entertainment world is a competitive, shallow game of power trippers and power brokers. Would any of you really want to spend time in a career that involves people wanting to pry into your private life, taking pictures of you eating dinner and driving your car and then passing judgement on who you are by the way the photos turn out? Yuck. The most successful actors all have a cool smirky confidence like GC…we love them for it. Bruce Willis, Jack Nichelson, Gene Hackman…it is the same formula that only a few are naturals for. Does that make them better than you….? Why would it? They are rich because we all enjoy watching them play character roles….they are rich because we all love to be entertained. Does that make them smart or us stupid?
The way you guys all need to be right about negative assumptions is strange to me. I am in this conversation not because I think I am superior…I just cannot figure out why you think Sarah and George would waste one second worrying about your attempts to lessen other people’s opinions of them.
George has made enough money for several lifetimes. He isn’t just starting out. His public appeal isn’t hanging on one cocktail waitress….do you all honestly need to believe that?
I think we would all have to agree that if Sarah was back in Vegas go go-ing on the pole this conversation would not be happening. Were you guys all sitting around ripping Sarah apart prior to her dating GC? I think not. Her entire crime is that she is dating GC? Why is that so terrible? Some of you make it sound like she has committed an act of heresy.
So let’s break this down a bit more…DeadC, you think I am a hypocrite and you wonder what’s with all the levels? If I were a hypocrite I would not live by the words I am speaking here….I do. What is so lofty about positive thinking and believing in the good in people? When I speak of levels I am looking at higher mind vs lower mob mentality. The kind of mentality that is more like animals that smell blood and have an overwhelming, uncontrollable collective urge to attack. Higher mind is able to see objectively and refrain from defeatist judgements. It creates beauty, inspirational writings, designs new ideas and faces challenges head on. Lower, reptilian mind reacts out of basic survival urges and distrusts anything that challenges a feeling of safety.
I won’t go into great detail about who I am either…no point really. But, I will try to illustrate an example of what I am talking about. I live and believe in the greatness in all people. I know some people are lazy or afraid but everyone can reach inside and find greatness it just takes different situations to bring it out. I am not talking about Sarah or GC so relax for a minute.
I have a friend that I met by chance. She has been a meth addict for much of the past 15 years. She and her husband have been through so much crap…all self induced. They have 6 beautiful children whom I fell in love with instantly. I always saw the best in these people. I started by being there for the kids during the periodic crises and disasters as a stablizing force of love and comfort. The parents couldn’t believe it at first, distrusted me and didn’t understand why I was always popping up at critical times, offering help. I always praised them for getting through each crisis and let them know I believed in them as good people and good parents. By believing in them I helped build up their self esteem. I did what felt was right not really knowing how it would all end up. Now my friend, calls me her “best friend.” She said I am the only person who ever befriended her without wanting something from her. After 7 years of simple conversations based on basic observations of the law of cause and effect in her life…she is working full time, off drugs, building the life she always dreamed of and her family is now stable and happy. Did I do that…no way….they did it because they wanted to change. I simply believed in who they really are. I helped them see that they were making ineffective choices that were destructive which helped them decide to make better choices. I saw past the negative crap they were settling for and limiting themselves to.
I believe we create reality out of what we think and say….so understand what you are doing by wishing ill will upon others. The law of cause and effect says you will get back what you send out in thought, word and deed. Right now you are filling cyberspace with so much negative crap that eventually it will come directly back at you from places you least expect. If it isn’t already. I know you guys are all capable of more than that. Are you seriously trying to hurt Sarah and GC because he has the audacity to date her, dress her in Armani and diamonds, kiss her in public? You make yourselves appear so small by worrying about what Sarah is wearing or what GC is doing with her. It seems so silly to me that you all need to feel so sure of your negative views. I wish you could see that you are only hurting yourselves.
DeadC, what do you mean people can’t change? You don’t think we all change as we grow and experience life? Wow, how sad is that. You are the exact same person you were 10 years ago? You don’t want to grow into anything new and better over the next say 70 years? Are you living up to your name “Dead” C?
I am a believer in the power of good. I know what happens when people believe in each other. I know what can be built when people work together and don’t listen to the nay sayers. I have done some really great things with groups of people who wanted to build something great for future generations and we had to wade through the negative power trippers who wanted to stop our projects either because they weren’t clever enough to dream them up or perhaps they think it feels good to wreak something. Is that what you guys are doing?
If you want to examine where your thoughts are coming from take a look at the triune brain theory: http://www.kheper.net/topics/intelligence/MacLean.htm
You can choose your thoughts and create any reality. What reality are you guys creating by hanging around here tearing down some old friend of yours because you are pissed that she has the nerve to love a famous rich actor. She has the nerve to think she is good enough to wear rich clothes and million dollar jewels…my golly, what a bitch.
So Ruby 142…how much money do you think Old George has spent on Sarah so far with clothes, fancy dining, lst class airfare, $100, 200,000? Is that were you want to be? If Sarah called up and offered to fly you to France for the next party would you go in your jeans…just to show them what’s “real?” If she handed you an Armani dress, perfect size and color, would you turn it down?
Come on now, you don’t really think that Sarah has an opportunity to go to the Vienna Film Festival with George Clooney and she is going to dress down and serve wine? Would you turn down dressing up like all the other guests and having a great time so your friends back home wouldn’t feel left out and jealous? Tell me you don’t think she did it all just to impress her friends back in Washington….???? Would you be shallow enough to hang out with a rich guy just to dress up and wear pretty jewelry so your old friends from high school would be jealous? I am honestly not trying to put you down I am hoping to get you thinking.
Come on, I simply can’t believe that Sarah’s twat is so terrifically special that GC would drop all the other women, more beautiful, more famous and more news worthy to the all those “highly important PR people”…just to hang with Sarah the cocktail waitress if he wasn’t truly enjoying her company. That would make her a really top drawer lay…is that what is frosting your asses?
The ultimate power pussy?
Am I really being too tough on you guys to challenge your thinking and your somewhat simplistic reasoning skills as far as degrading Sarah on the internet? That is all I am conversing about with you…degrading Sarah on the internet. Whatever else you do in your lives might be great and fabulous…maybe you are all brain surgeons…but what are you gaining by demanding the demise of Sarah and George in chat forums?
Ruby142 and WB are just sure they are searching for comments like yours to gauge George’s success with his next movie. I think you might be giving yourselves a little too much importance. Is this “Power Envy”
And, if I don’t join in the ripfest…I am “worshipping Sarah?” I don’t think I am even talking about Sarah. I am talking about the reality of wishing bad on other people and asking you to THINK ABOUT , MEDIATE, CONTEMPLATE not on George and Sarah, but on what it is doing for all of you to engage in so much negative back stabbing, hate mongering and petty nit natting so fervently and continuously.
As far as feeling like an outsider for having such divergent views from the norm expressed here….one of my favorite put downs of popular opinion goes like this:
10 million flies can’t be wrong…eat shit.
I wish you could see me smiling right now guys. I am not trying to offend anyone but I sure am enjoying challenging what feels like some very petty low minded mud slinging. I feel like I landed by accident in an old ladies beauty parlor…gossip central.
Have fun you guys. I have to go now…. busy week. Thanks for taking the time to comment, for thinking about what I’ve said and for your comments back. We may not agree but it has been a good chance to exchange views. No harm in that. Try not to take yourselves too seriously. I like to think we are all spiritual beings having a human experience. Let’s try to make the most out of them. If you get a chance, see Michael Clayton…it’s a really good movie.
Starsinsky…thanks for the well thought out, insightfully refreshing ponderings…makes me realize what we are really doing here…contemplating the complex inner workings of human relationships…fascinating!
Amazing–
You should be restrained Clockwork Orange style, have a vial of LSD dumped on your face and be forced to watch Citizen Kane with your GOD complex and your bullshit PollyAnna tales of saving the unenlightened world. What did you think you would get out of “helping” those poor unfortunate people, you ask? The answer is the ability to talk about it on my website.
The middle age women who come on my site with these Amasing full lives and families but spend their time on my page telling me that I should strive to do something to elevate myself to their levels of awareness, are an enigma. You guys are on my site. I created another forum for you to preach and announce the latest “profound” discoveries that you’ve come across in your mid-life crises, unfortunately you fail to realize that a good percentage of people out there discovered this shit years before you did and understand it on a deeper level to a point where they don’t speak it as if it was timeless knowledge, while you preach it like it’s the latest news from Jesus’ podcast. You are looking for methods to fuel your self-consumed existence. You associated with people that didn’t believe in themselves. You know as well as anyone that places you in a position of power. No matter how much you think you have done for anyone, that doesn’t exhaunerate you from the fact that you exploited your position to influence someone. You would never want themselves, or anyone, to raise themselves above feeling indebted to you or to ever forget about what you did “for” them. I don’t need to be saved unfortunately. You view their situation like you lifted them to your level. You do view things in levels, that is clear, your problem, which is also clear, is that you believe that you are at some elevated level above others and the truth is that to feel that you are “lifting people up” you first have to “look down”.
The reason that I say you are a hypocrite is because you contradict yourself in your own statements. There is a really clever and unique, but twisted, way of looking at your statements though. You say you live by your words. Since you contradict yourself in your statements, I don’t doubt that you do the same in your actions. I guess by some fucked up technicality, you might not be hypocritical in that sense.
You really believe that you are objective? Really? Your statements are about the least objective comments on here. You may not really see that, but it is clear to others. You want to get Lifetime Channel on shit, so I will say that you don’t grow because you believe you are a vital part of some spiritual hierarchy and that you do look up to George Clooney. You act like Clooney’s side kick that wasn’t invited but will show how “equal” they are by speaking for both of them and their elite breed.
Your statements don’t ring sound to everyone and they are not morally superior, that’s just your belief of your fraily created image and the maintenance in action that reinforces it.
Oh, I didn’t say that “people can’t change”. You think of winded responses to shit in a defensive manner before you even realize what has been said. That isn’t a productive method to welcome discussion. Does your husband even give a shit when you proudly tell him about how you healed the blind on my site? Being misquoted is a little irritating, I’ll give you that. It’s like passing out in a hotel after a long road trip and before you can take your shoes off. When you half wake up, you’re trying to get your shoes, socks and pants off and get under the covers to go to sleep. It’s that kind of irritating.
Alright, misquote things now.
Ruby142-‘If she didn’t care what anyone thinks, why didn’t she wear her work uniform and grab a tray of wine glasses and help out at the parties?’ LOL!!!
So true. I also think they care about what people think otherwise why would they have PR people (supposedly) looking out for the star’s best interest and finding ways to spin unflattering stories if or when the star finds themself in a bind.
Starsinsky-‘….both attended the premiere showing their injuries. Once again, the focus was on them not the film. If I was Tilda Swinton, Sydney Pollack, or Tony Gilroy, I would be very perturbed that a great film I busted my ass for was being lost in all the press about one of the co-stars lovelife and accident.’ Once again, so true. The same thing happened with the Cruise and Holmes show. Someone else mentioned them here too. But this was for the premieres of MI:3 and Batman Returns. Granted, these two movies may not have been on the shortlist of Oscar contenders but all the attention was focused on the swoony eyed twosome instead of those movies and we all know what happened with Cruise and Paramount after all his love-lust antics on the red carpet. Even then people thought they too had a PR stunt relationship. It just didn’t seem plausible for him to be so head over heels in love with someone he had one dinner with on a plane, whose 20 years younger then him and the only thing we really knew about her was Dawson’s Creek. But now I guess they both realize it was a little too much, that less is more. We don’t hear too much about them now, well not as much as before but I’m sure as like the SL/GC lust affair, people are still skeptical and waiting to see how far their relationship will go.
As for the contradictions of GC, with him advertising Nespresso and the issues that come with that, GC was asked during a press conference for Clayton at the Venice Film Festival, how could he promote a movie about the subject matter that Clayton covers and then continue to do those commercials? He started out responding about how much charity work he does then he got a little tongue tied, a little bothered and told the reporter that he doesn’t have to answer to him about making a living and questions like that are annoying so he stopped answering that quesiton and actually turned off his mic for a second. So is the press finally grilling him because they are now beginning to realize GC is not what he’s portraying himself to be? Has his audience finally realized that he’s not all that he’s cracked up to be or has the relationship he’s in now hurt the movie sales? Will the studio realize that maybe with the name Clooney attached to it (though it sounds great to them and he can pitch a good game), can’t open to a big box office payday? Maybe he needs to start trying a more commercial type film and stop hitting people over the head with messages.
In light of the press conference calamity, slow movie sales and what’s going on with him and his all of a sudden PDA with SL, are we witnessing another Cruise/Holmes catastrophe? A GC meltdown? Who know’s, but I wonder how the studio is going to spin this. They’ll probably say something like, ‘ the movie did as expected, this movie wasn’t intended to make money but rather to get a message out about truth and corruption, blah blah, blah.’ Hollywood spin.
The bottom line is nobody here on this blog, message board, comment section whatever, will ever know what the hell is really going on unless he says something himself (without a PR announcement). Nobody here will probably ever meet these two in their life and nobody should ever come on a message board and put down anybody else, for making comments that the two people in question probably won’t read or give a second thought, especially when your obviously doing the same. Is it that serious for someone to come on and make a speach about universal harmony, positive thinking and loving pigs like people or whatever was said? Nor should anybody feel the need to think themself superior then anybody else just for making comments that stemmed from Dead C’s article, about hollywood gossip and who’s on the chopping block this week. Nobody is better then anybody else, so never think that someone’s life is so unfulfilling or unsatisfying because people other than yourself just want to have an interesting and sometimes hilarious conversation about something other then heavy political and worldly issues. Nobody is killing anybody or anything on this site so just calm down and get it together.
LOL – this is all great!!! :-)
OMG, what the hell? Sorry was that blasphemous? Well excuse me then, what the fuck! Is this a comment section about two nimrods we don’t know or a lesson in pschology? Good God!!
Amazing- “Were you guys all sitting around ripping Sarah apart prior to her dating GC?”
Duh, what a dumb question obviously not, GC opened that door by dating her and we can say whatever we want to say about the relationship regardless of who or what we know or who or what we don’t know… and who the fuck said tripping on acid or some shit was a requirement to blog here, ’cause whatever Amusing is on must be a bad batch.
-‘ the ultimate power pussy, top drawer lay?’ WTF!!! Who said she had to give up the pussy when the mouth can do just as much, if she’s good!! Your little fancy comment about challenging our thinking and somewhat simplistic reasoning skills, who the fuck are you, Dr. Phil? Or maybe one of Sarah’s family members?. Either way, since I’m so simple minded and you made a comment about 10 million flies eating shit, well forget about the flies Amazing and just eat shit. The only simple minded person here is you. I wish you could see me smiling right now because anybody who reads your comments know your a jackass and since I’m so simple minded anyway, I really don’t care what people think of me. So in your own words Amazing, because you obviously have a personality disorder , “Try not to take yourselves too seriously.”
Once again people it’s just a comment blog. WTF, we’re not out to cure cancer, or maybe Amazing is on it’s way to doing just that since it’s got so much knowledge and shit. Excuse me for calling you an IT. Don’t know if your male or female but who really cares.
I’m sure she will be old news very soon but why would this particular woman be chosen for publicity? Wouldn’t he rather be linked with an actual model or such?
I agree that one day he will actually fall in love but he dates female players and so that woman probably won’t love him. Anyway, I doubt this is “the one”. She is probably just the one that says yes to everything; kinky, lol.
Amazing,
So, when you (and you alone) fart, it smells like roses?
Sincerely,
Anon
Dead C! Had to catch up. Just read your response to Amazing. And you should see the smile on MY face right now!
This is one person who deserved everything that was said about her, and then some. First she calls you ‘little people’, then ‘crabs in a barrel’, then ‘flies eating shit’. Not exactly the language of someone carrying the torch of goodness for all humanity!!
Well, it’s only fair then that I throw out a few labels for Amazing: Pot stirrer, attention whore, hypocrite, Mother Theresa complex, psycho babbler, pompous ass.
I would wager her middle-aged, cellulite-ridden (and probably incredibly large) ass hasn’t felt this important in a very long while. She calls it ‘challenging assumptions’ but as we all see so clearly, the only assumptions Amazing gives any credence to are her own. In her mind, everything she does is from a celestial plane where her goodness and vision of a better life radiates like a beacon to the rest of us pathetic, misguided crabs and flies.
Which makes it all the more disturbing that I have not yet been touched by Amazing’s uncommon goodness. How was I overlooked? Blessing her fellow man at every turn, coaching them to achieve their greatest potential, blissfully encouraging the neighborhood crack addict to try to do better. For seven years she persevered, for seven whole years she stood by, steadfast, until lo and behold (trumpets blare), they saw the (her) celestial light. Then, (angel wings flapping in the breeze) she demurely deflects the glory which she rightfully deserves. “No, no, it was you dear crack addict who made this happen.” Yeah, right.
Amazing is the biggest fucking force of goodness the universe has seen in a very long while. We can either bring her efforts to the attention of the Pope, or start a line of rose-colored “happy” glasses and designate the proceeds for the poor and starving in Calcutta. For God’s sakes, this Amazing contribution to humanity should not and cannot be overlooked!!
J
Amazing: Here’s the latest pic of your kind-hearted and gentle and good SL, out to dinner with kind-hearted and gentle and good Randy Gerber (and GC) in NYC. Wearing one of the tightest skirts I’ve ever seen (how can she even walk?). By the looks of her face, she’s from Elf-land.
http://img154.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=64558_celebutopia_George_Clooney_111007_01_122_684lo.jpg
George Clooney lost out to both Tyler Perry and The Rock? How incredibly pathetic.
Yes, thank you Dead C for having this site, sorry I did not thank you before.
The reason that we are atonished by GC dating SL is because he has never publically dated a random girl before. It does take away from Michael Clayton. I do find this to be a bad PR move. Maybe George got sick of sleeping with random girls who weren’t willing to give up their beautiful cocktail life to spend the whole day in a hotel for months. I would personally take some online classes to stop the boredom.
I do live in Vegas part-time, and was at the premeire party the night he met SL. I wonder how tall she is because he person GC is 5’8″ 145, and Sara seems to have low heels on in the pictures. I wonder to myself if i would of had the stupid security grab a manager, they would of seen my name on the VIP list. Or if they weren’t spending their time watching George, maybe I wouldn’t of been intimidated and stepped in the elevator with George then maybe I could be spending my nights with my favorite actor.
I wonder if this SL is good in bed, Dead C, your x best friend dated her for years, is that the reason he is spending so much time with her? Or did he need some permenant entertainment while he is filming his movies. He has flown out girls before to spend time in his hotel room, but never took them to premeires and kissed them in public. I like the ideal of having them in the limo while he is on the red carpet and attending the afterparty with him afterwards. It does sicken me to see every picture with GC with SL. I would much rather see Georges beauty alone, and not tainted by some crutches attached to some girl when she only had to use a popcicle stick and a some medical tape to align her toe. She was obviously milking that one or it was a PR move. I read the funniest story at stalker.com, that George was seen with a blonde on the back of his motorcycle earlier that day of his accident. And because SL was sensing the loss of her fling, she tried to reach around and distract GC, it resulted in an accident, and hence George would feel sorry for her and continue to date her. I wonder if it is serious, because he hasn’t brought another woman out like that. Maybe George was tired of dating random girls and this was a sure thing every night.
He has dated other girls in July, he met SL in the beginning of June, he flew her out to Europe in September. I will meet SL one day when she gets her job back after George dumps her. I plan on attending some premeires or becoming an extra so I can meet my favorite sexy actor. Next time, I will get a chance to meet him and have my fun, but I promise to do it in private.
They are both drunk on the tmz video, it sickens me to see him with her, it could of been me, and I know I am better in bed, and would definitely enjoy the presence of George’s company.
I hope George is happy, but I think he would be happier with me.
I find this forum very funny, and I appreciate all your comments, thanks again Dead C.
Actually, he has treated other girls the same, he has just been more discrete, and protected them more. Lisa Snowdon visited him in LV during the first Oceans movie, and when it was time for her to go to her modeling assignment, he sent her on a private plane, at his expense.
On their second go around, he took her all over Europe as his date, very openly; She played hostess on several yacht trips with his famous friends, and at dinner at the Villa in Italy; She met politicians, and accompanied him to two premiers, Matt’s and his own months later, and was with him while he gained weight for Syriana, went on bike rides and generally did the same thing he is doing with Sarah, the only differences is, he said he wanted to keep that side of his life private and he actually did. This public outings with women isn’t new, he got over that years ago. What makes this so different is, how open and deliberate he is being in being seen with he, in places he knows the paparazzi will be. The places he chooses and how he seems to want to be seen, and it looks awkward sometimes.
One more thing. They met in June, but George took another woman to the Cannes festival. He was also still seeing Jenny the MAW, so they didn’t immediately start dating in June.
Sarah and George hooked up again in AUGUST not JUNE as its being widely reported, late August and they’ve been together every since, except for the Toronto festival he attended alone.
I am not sicken by her presence in his life, or jealous, but I do wonder what she does all day while he works, and she’s at the hotel. Its only so much shopping you can do, before you just veg out from boredom.
Molly — The Cannes Film Festival was held from May 16 to the 26th, so that time frame doesn’t really conflict with dating SL in June (not that he did, I’m just saying…). Someone here said that he was with Jenny Aguero at Cannes, but I do not know if that is true. On another web site (A Socialite’s Life), she reported that he was with a tall, tan, leggy blonde at the Hotel du Cap, and that to her somewhat experienced eye, the girl was acting very much like a professional escort. Was it Jenny? Really an escort? Only GC knows for sure. Regardless, his time with SL fits his pattern. He has invited an 18 year old songstress, Victoria Hart, to sing for an event in November in NY, so maybe she will be his transition from SL? Anything is possible. I saw a video clip of an interview with Victoria when she was performing for him at Cannes, and she said he told her he ‘loved her’, that he would like to spend time with her, but that he moved around a lot and his lifestyle would not allow him to give her the time she deserved. Maybe he has changed his mind since he’s asking her to sing in NY. Or maybe he really is just asking her to sing. She’s pretty cute, very accomplished in her own right, and has an interesting background (and only 18!). See her at http://www.victoriahart.com.
I doubt Sarah will get her job back, LSweetie, if/after George dumps her. She obviously likes the public attention (she was in Fear Factor, after all) and I’m sure she’d manage to put all her Clooney-related publicity to good use. I imagine she’ll become a Model/Actress/Whatever.
Thanks, didn’t know the dates, and I believe that the woman was a professional, or designated one by Lainey, and I am pretty sure she didn’t do it lightly.
You are correct, but it makes me wonder why she wasn’t with him on the boat with Monika and didn’t turn up at Lake Como until August, and he was clearly enjoying Monika, and before her, it was someone else, before Sarah’s appearance. He makes me tired just thinking about how much he gets around.
George says “I love you” a lot it seems, I don’t think he really understands what it means to be in love. Thanks for the correction on the dates, and the link to Victoria, she is very pretty!
She’s only 18! It makes my flesh crawl thinking about him touching her in a sexual way, and I’m only a few years older then she is. I hope he only wants to hear her sing.
she didn’t imply that they had a relationship, or carnal relations, only that he said those things at some point during her time there. my impression was that she didn’t take the ‘i love you’ all that seriously. he probably said that in the same way we all use the expression at times, as in, ‘you are great, i love you!’ etc. he knows about the life of a songstress, thru his aunt, so probably felt an affinity. said he came up to her during her performance and told her she was doing a great job. apparently, one of her friend heard they were looking for a singer for the Oceans premiere, and nominated her. GC himself looked her up on her website and the job offer followed. she has since signed at least one record deal for several million…her life has changed dramatically. she was working as a waitress before the Oceans job.
one more thing which i find kind of amusing, which is that in the latest celeb video of GC and SL and another young female (all getting into an SUV), the papparazi are around and what does GC say to them but this (paraphrased): “You’re not going to take any pictures up their skirts now are you?” WTF? Then he repeated it…saying something about how he thought that ‘wasn’t nice’. which goes back to all the comments suggesting that GC doesn’t care about what happens in the world of celeb gossip. WRONG. first off, you have to be pretty clued into TMZ and Splash News and various other celeb websites to even know what he is talking about, which means that he is either looking at these sights or having conversations with someone to get clued in about them. I myself was not aware of the crotch shots until a few months ago, when I started checking out various celeb websites, then there they were, the crotches in states of undress, namely HIlton’s, Spears’s and Lohan’s. the first one was shocking..but after you get over that, it’s just ‘who cares?’. anyway, GC very much knows what is going on and what is being said and done in the media, including the Internet (the only place the crotch shots are being shown)… see

Well, for what it’s worth I think they’re in love and that she looks lovely. I don’t really look at these things, only when I’m not well and have bugger all else to do and I don’t know either of these people but I doubt Mr Clooney’s the deceitful type. If he didn’t like her why would he be with her? He has tonnes of friends, male and female and would not be short of options and most men are very happy on their own, especially when they have a massive career to think about. Some of the stuff written here sounds deranged and cruel. It’s just two people spending time with each other, the paps are going crazy because it’s great news, she’s great looking, wears clothes beautifully and he’s the eternal, dashing bachelor who just may have found “the one” this time. Meanwhile women and men everywhere are preparing themselves for the possible end of a long held, deep seated fantasy, so it’s understandable that this woman is getting a lot of stick, she’s the envy of roughly 50% of the global population, yeesh!!!! It takes some nerve to occupy that spot, or maybe just love. I think he’s wary and understandably so given who he is, but I doubt it’s any more complicated than that. Men love beautiful women and he’s found himself one, good luck to them. He’s an actor, to some extent they all need a certain amount of attention, you wouldn’t be motivated to become one if you didn’t but the Press cross the line, we all know that, and unless you are them, you can’t possibly know what that’s like… I would be furious if the Press were waiting to exploit someone I care about but if none of us cared enough to watch them, read about them and follow their every move, would they still exist in the same way? Stars are partly a figment of all our imaginations, we create the spotlight that illuminates them, without it they’d be in the shadows like the rest of us and when I read some of the stuff here, it makes me realise that it’s not such a bad place to be.
little people, crabs, flies, and now shadows? come on, Amazing (for we know it is you), give it up. you cannot control the world and what others think. RELEASE THE REIGNS…
“We paint people with a broad brush—some are like us, sharing our opinions and our attitudes, while others are different. Our commitment to values we have chosen to embrace is often so strong that we are easily convinced that our way is the right way. We may find ourselves frustrated by those who view the world from an alternate vantage point and make use of unusual strategies when coping with life’s challenges. However ardently we believe that these people would be happier and more satisfied following our lead, we should resist the temptation to try to change them. Every human being has been blessed with a unique nature that cannot be altered by outside forces. We are who we are at any one point in our lives for a reason, and no one person can say for certain what another should be like.
The reasons we try to change one another are numerous. Since we have learned over time to flourish in the richness of lives we have built, we may come to believe that we are qualified to speak on behalf of the greater source. The sum total of our knowledge will never compare to what we do not know, however, and our understanding of others’ lives will forever be limited. The potential we see in the people who are a part of our lives will never be precisely the same as our own, so we do these individuals a disservice when we make assumptions about their intentions, preferences, and goals. Our power lies in our ability to accept others for all their quirks and differences and to let go of the need to control every element of our existence. ”
In other words, go f*ck yourself.
saw vid of donald trump talking about GC’s height. the comment is to be found in trump’s book, in a chapter entitled ‘perception’. he said his perception was that GC is this big strapping guy (this is how the media portrays him), but, in fact, when trump met him, he says he was surprised. said he was ‘little’, about 5’8″. i read that elsewhere too, that he weighed something like 145lbs. (at least at one time). trump also commented on angelina jolie, and the perception is that she is this great beauty. he absolutely does not agree with that ‘perception’. and i agree with trump. she’s scrawny, with veins bulging everywhere and has a huge head. he’s telling it like it is, and not feeding into our fantasies. bottom line is, when i see a celeb in person, i am frequently disappointed. as dead c keeps telling us, they are just people afte r all. i blame the media for all the untruths and hype. it is so rampant. most of these ‘stars’ look like dogs in person. well, not most, but a surprising number. gc’s peeps put it out that he is 5’10, but, honestly, i think that is just wishful thinking. the vid of SL getting into the SUV a few days ago with GC? She has her hair pulled back into a ponytail. the media raves about how sleek and ultra hollywood she looks. the pic that i pulled up, which was in extreme closeup, showed that she has so little hair, that it is so thin, you can see straight down the to the scalp all over her head (not enough hair to cover it!). it’s that thin. i don’t really care about what SL looks like or GC. what i care about is this heirarchy (and those who subscribe to it, like Amazing/Spirit) who maintain that stars are above the rest of us. You must be joking. When the layers are peeled away, they have more money, and that differentiates, but other than that? No way.
one last comment, which is that GC himself would laugh out loud at the idea he is ‘above’ everyone else (in our respective barrels). he just would. he is many things. but he is not a snob impressed by his own celebrity status. he is in touch with the common man, and that comes off in every interview he gives, in every exchange he has with a reporter. he absolutely would refute that notion.
Yeah, she is the envy of roughly 50% of the population, she’s become an overnight paragon. And she’s done NOTHING to gain our recognition. Her only approbation is that she is fucking George Clooney.
Someone said here that George’s girls have nothing to do with his humanitarian work, someone else said men love beautiful women and he’s found himself one so good luck to them. And we’re (George’s (ex) fans) are supposed to take this man seriously? When his relationship(s) basically tells us that all we as women have to attain is to be good and bed and beautiful? I preferred him in a relationship with a pig.
By the looks of it women are swallowing his load. L sweetie: girl, you’ve got to snap out of it. If perfecting a blowjob and positioning yourself in jobs where your ultimate achievement will be to fuck a sexy actor is the path by which you get the relationship you want – do you really want that relationship?
Are you even still attracted to George Clooney (and his films) after this?
LOL not quite. He isn’t dashing, he’s attractive, yes, but his best years are behind him. He is not a fairly tale, not after some of the women I’ve heard he has slept with. And she is hardly a princess, not after some of the things I’ve seen. But then, no one has said she was a princess, but dashing, hmmm, no, not so much anymore. His lifestyle is taking its toll.
She’s attractive, yes, but not stunning and the designer clothes were lovely, some of the stuff she’s worn not so much, but yes, she does wear them well. I envy her long legs ;-)
But Love, after a couple of months, maybe, but hardly is she in a position of envy for half of the worlds population, since there is no way of knowing that the entire female population wants George Clooney. There are some of us who enjoy his work, but want nothing more. His sexual history is way too rich for my blood and too careless.
Deadc has been great allowing varying opinions, but I would hardly climb upon a know-it-all high horse and call the posts deranged, or cruel, people in glass houses should not throw stones. Every celebrity in his position has endured comments such as this, some worse, and these comments make those about Tom Cruise seem tame in comparison.
We have all seen this before, different woman, different city, same thing, different man 15-20 years older then the much younger woman, and George is just the latest one, but this is not new for him. He has taken them around, same way before, only last time, he was careful and closed curtains,etc. He isn’t doing that this time. Fair enough, but it would be incredibly hypocritical of him to complain about the intrusion into his personal life, when it appears that their outings are announced before hand, or they attend restaurants that are frequented by the photographers, and they take maximum advantage of each opportunity to get noticed.
I think they look good together, but there does not appear to be any real connection. They seem, somehow, I don’t know, disjointed, I don’t see any intimacy, even when they kissed, the first time, she looked at the camera, the second time, they both looked for it.
I might be wrong, and you could be right, it could be deep, passionate love, if it is, it makes me wonder why he would exploit it so.
When we love things, people, we protect them, we take care of them, we strive to make sure that each time she/he is with us, the moments are private, and just for us, not photo opportunities, or seem that way. When given the opportunity to talk about him/her we enjoy saying their name, because when we do, it makes us smile, because they make us happy. We keep private, intimate moments between us, and if we cant resist, its quick knowing smile we share, and we each know what it means, a hand slid down the back, slowly, etc. We love deeply, privately and carefully and we take care that those around us, KNOW that he/she is important to us and in turn, they understand why we take such care, and they respect it, and us as a couple. You want to be alone with that person, not always in groups, groups are nice, other couples are nice, but the first few months, we want that person all to ourselves.
I haven’t seen all of the Sarah and George videos or read all of forums, but his actions are not the actions of a man ion love. When they are together she looks for the camera, he looks down, around, but rarely at her. When he speaks of her, does he use her name, does he smile when he says her name, the way, we all have at some point in the beginning of a new love, and this is only two or so months old, so its still new. The few times he has spoken of her, its been, ‘she’ ‘her’ why is that????
I can only comment on just what I’ve seen so far, and I don’t see a couple in love, not with each other. Sarah is relishing the clothes, the attention and her Status as George Clooney’s Arm Candy or Girlfriend. He seems uncomfortable at times, and embarrassed at others, but clearly it must make him feel good to have a young, attractive woman on his arm.. Maybe its just the photos I’ve seen and the rare video, but I have my doubts.
