People Magazine has some exclusive photos of George Clooney and his OFFICIAL girlfriend on holiday in Tanzania. Go here to see! Yes, like we already said last month: George Clooney is officially dating Julian Assange’s hot lawyer Amal Alamuddin. She’s one of Britain’s top lawyers and she’s not some silly C-list wrestler or whatever. Amal is a woman of substance. She is a woman with an education and a real job. She sits down with despots, hackers, captains of industry and movie stars. Of course, the first time she ever got invited to the White House was as Clooney’s plus-one for The Monuments Men screening, so maybe she likes Clooney’s trappings of fame too.
A safari with George Clooney? That’s one trip to remember. The Monuments Men actor whisked his new girlfriend, British lawyer Amal Alamuddin, off for a jaunt to Tanzania to watch wildlife. Exclusive photos in the new issue of PEOPLE show the couple on one of their first trips together after romance rumors swirled when they were spotted dining together back in October.
The pair more recently turned up together for a special screening of Clooney’s latest movie on Feb. 18 at the White House alongside President Obama. When they had a nightcap at a local hotel afterward, “his arm was around her shoulder and she had hers around his,” an observer told PEOPLE at the time. “They just seemed very, very together.”
A source who has worked with Clooney has high hopes for the new romance.
“He’s with someone who is a very accomplished attorney. She isn’t someone who is pursuing a career in acting or entertainment,” says the source. “She’s on his level.”
As Lainey pointed out, People Mag’s exclusive photos look like a planned and organized photo-op. Why is George making it official, I wonder? Could it be a little tit-for-tat with his ex, Stacy Keibler? Keibler gave People Mag an exclusive too – her wedding photos and the unconfirmed story that she’s already knocked up. So George is letting Stacy – and all of us – that he’s fine. He’s already moved on. He’s moved on with a hottie with a law degree.
Here’s what bugs me a little though: “She isn’t someone who is pursuing a career in acting or entertainment. She’s on his level.” First of all, while I admire George’s political work most of the time, I’ve never thought of him as some smooth, savant-like political operator. He’s not. He’s smarter than the average movie star, but that’s a low bar. I would even bet that Amal is smarter than George. And that’s what makes me think that this won’t last. George doesn’t like or need for his girlfriends to be smart. He likes being the clever one in relationships.

This is George’s way of improving his image. Unfortunately for this lady being with him will only diminish and distract from her good work.
Her name will always be linked to him long after they have broken up. Other than a few new contacts and fun vacations, all she will get out of this is a pain in her ass.

Yeah you could be right about that but wasn’t there a rumor going around a couple of months ago that these two were dating but Clooney said they were just friends. If that’s the case these two were already dating around the time Tina and Amy made that joke. However the joke was about the age of a woman, not her intelligence. Therefore Amy and Tina joke would still remain on point about him not dating women his age. Amal is only about 36.

@V4real: Totally co-sign!! the woman is still a good 18 years younger than him so the joke is still on!

Warren Beatty ended up settling down. Clark Gable and Carole Lombard settled down together, it is possible. You never know with these Hollywood people.
Clooney never dated women who upstaged him in either fame (and intelligence I assume) and the joke is that their relationship has expiration dates as they are contracts. They also needed him, financially or to start a career in entertainment.
So given with what we know, what does a smart accomplished woman doing with Clooney IF she’s contracted? The only benefits would be for Clooney as she doesn’t need to be seen with a film star known for dating waitresses and semi-strippers (never mind his alleged sexual kinks!). Her credentials are nothing sort of amazing and she would be perfect for a First Lady tbh, not ‘the partner of eternal bachelor George Clooney’ and it would be an insult to assume she’s just a pawn in his PR game. He never cared about the rumours, just like Leo D doesn’t care and all the famous bachelors before them. They’re men, they will always be successful and lauded for their work even if their private life is mocked. In the end, their legacy and career will not be tainted unlike women, so I’m really curious to see what the future has in store for these two.
I want to know what SHE is offering HIM.

But Angelina Jolie is 12 years younger than Brad Pitt and nobody talks about it. I think the talk about Clooney is more about his “escort”-girlfriends than the age.

The main thing is that she doesn’t give up one iota of her career to be with Clooney. He’s not worth sacrificing it for. Both of them will benefit in different ways. She can have some fun with it, show up at a few red carpets and what not. It would be fun for a while as long as there are no expectations.

He is using Amal for good PR. I took a look at their vacation photos in Tanzania…George is looking straight into the camera’s lens, lol. He knows they are there. In fact, he probably invited them. I didn’t believe the rumours that George was still pining over Keibler or upset that she moved on so quickly. However, with him coming out with an “official” girlfriend so soon after Keibler’s wedding and pregnancy announcement, I can’t help but think that his ego was bruised somewhat. Keibler not only moved on but got knocked up, married a man who is also rich and successful, and still receives a good amount of media attention. She was the only one of Clooney’s girlfriends who knew how to beat him at his own game and come out looking like a winner. I wonder if it really did get to him.
He knows the public is calling him a man whore, an eternal bachelor, and an old man who likes dating significantly younger C-list celebs. So he is shaking things up by dating a non-Caucasian, non-celebrity who is smart and successful…basically the exact opposite of the usual type that he goes for.
I’m sure Amal is also caught up in the glamour of dating a millionaire celebrity and one of the most eligible bachelor’s in the world. However, she can and should do so much better than him. She doesn’t need the media attention. It must feel overwhelming and exciting at first, but I’m sure she will tire of the celebrity lifestyle…unless, of course, she truly craves for the attention and wants to become universally famous among both the elite and the general public.

Wasn’t he diddling Eva Longoria while still with Kiebler? I think he emotionall detached from Stacy a while ago and I don’t think he would think it worth his while to “debut” this new romance as a counteraction to Stacy. That would be giving Stacy waaay too much credit. I think the Stacy thing is just coincidental timing.
Could he have other motives? Oh I’m sure. He stands to gain in many ways by dating a woman of this caliber. She could also be a palate cleanser for the seemingly unending stream of bimbos he’s dated. I don’t know. I think the Cloonster is best suited to the bimbos. Sharp girls (Julia – bitch, but sharp, Sandy) are best suited as sidekicks/wing girls.

This makes it sound like in his world, anything above a cocktail waitress or escort is a great intellectual surprise. More like Pitt saying. “Hey dude, for five minutes can you date someone my wife can have a decent conversation with? Just five minutes?”

If you travel to the Lombardy/Lake Como region of Italy and ask about George, the locals are quite open about his Italian boyfriends.

You think that he’s managed all these years to keep something like that quiet? No news at 11:00 or pictures of him with another man, in a compromising position to be found… all these years? Really? WOW that’s leading a pretty damned charmed life, to be so lucky that no one sold him out for a quick paycheck from the tabs! I think there might be a bit of wishful thinking in your statement….
@epiphany…I think that the people in Italy don’t understand George having a group of male friends who are constantly with him and misinterpret it as something else. Otherwise, again…not one shot of him in a compromising situation? Do you have ANY idea how much a pap shot like that would be worth?

Who knows, you could be right, but considering that the macho-Latin mind set is still very much ingrained in the men on Italy, my hunch is they know the difference between a group of guys hanging out, and guys who are a couple.

There was a piece in Cosmo, the UK Cosmo I think – like 3 years ago, maybe, and this hollywood insider was talking about a huge hollywood star, male, gay, who would cover his sexuality by having paid girlfriends, but only for the outside world. Both said star and girlfriend would have their respective partners living with them in the same space (like his house) yet the two pairs would their private lives separately. That insider would not say who the star was – for fear of being sued or losing whatever privileges he had. That story sounds a lot like Clooney. But still, I just don’t get a gay vibe from him. Or Leo for that matter.

It’s a valid question. He does seem smarter than your average celebrity, but I don’t know what makes him more worthy, especially given his track record.

I agree with all the other commenters about George changing his girlfriend rollout strategy. I know he follows gossip. I remember reading an interview when he was with Sara Larson and they were watching Brett Michels’ Rock of Love show on VH 1. Also he references seeing footage of Brad Pitt making a rocky landing when he was learning to fly on Entertainment Tonight.
I think George is gunning for an Oscar with that super secret Disney movie Tomorrowland. He debuted Elizabeth Canalis at the Venice Film Festival and Stacy Kiebler at TIFF. He knows the bloggers and the public have caught onto his 2 year girlfriend contracts. He didn’t win with the previous rent a dates, so he had to revamp his image. Has he ever been so public with a relationship outside of the road to Oscar campaigns?

I don’t find her that attractive actually. But it sounds like she is welll educated and successful so perhaps he finds her interesting. He does have a drinking problem though. While in Vancouver he was shit faced nightly.

Funny how less than a week after Keibler gets married…HE resurfaces and WALLA…a new girlfriend is introduced. He was noticeably absent from the Oscars…yet NOBODY said why or where he was. Perhaps the safari took precedence…over introducing another woman on to the Red Carpet. Hope this one lands him…she looks classy and apparently is. Good call George! Prove them all wrong!

They’ve been together for awhile, this didn’t just happen. There were rumors of them out together before.

Being in the law field myself, I find it interesting she has time to fly around the world and go on vacations, considering most lawyers in the US work long hours and take very little vacation. You got to bill those hours, Julian Assange and Kofi Annan most have her on big retainers that she needs no other clients and she has a staff that does all the work. Also, I find it funny she has been described as a human rights, international law, criminal and extradition lawyer. So far, I would just call her a criminal lawyer for high profile criminals. Attorneys usually specialize in one of her categories. I would say, it is hard to describe yourself as a human rights lawyer if you are defending a mass murdurer like Kofi Annan. I guess for publicity sake, by calling her a human rights, international lawyer it makes her look sexy for George.

She’s on his level?! That’s staggering. What is his level exactly – he’s an actor and movie producer with some intelligence. Take him out of his celebrity sphere and put him with some truly gifted/smart people and see what his level is then. George will need to lift his game to keep Amal interested. It’s George who should be worried here, not Amal.

A 54 year old can’t be called an “eligible bachelor” anymore. At this point he’s just a middle aged man with commitment issues, which I don’t question, is a life choice. But let’s not be sexist calling older men a “catch” when a 47 year old like Robin Wright is called a cougar for dating (engaging!) a 33 year old man. That’s just sexism and we are fueling it.

“She’s on his level”: so Clooney is an accomplish attorney now?
“She isn’t pursuing a career on acting or entertainment”: Clonney himself pursued an acting career, but if a woman does it is considered a lesser person?

For years everyone accused Clooney’s girlfriends of calling the paps for publicity to advance their careers, guess it wasn’t them but Mr. Private himself. Who takes a safari with their new girlfriend and brings a tabloid photographer?

The only thing I find surprising is the fact that they vacationed somewhere other than Cabo and Italy.

He’s honest with his committment issues, but that doesn’t make him more attractive. He still looks desparate and old.
