LaineyGossip had the heads-up on this, and it is just as ridiculous as you’d think. So, it seems that George Clooney’s girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis has secured herself a high-profile modeling contract with Roberto Cavalli. She’s the new crotch of Cavalli underwear, and Mr. Cavalli is interviewed in Hello! Magazine describing why he chose Canalis for the campaign. The interview is pretty rich – it’s like Cavalli is trying to convince us that he chose Canalis because she’s such an iconic beauty, not because she knows every one of George Clooney’s kinky fetishes. I guess it’s only fair – when Sarah Larson dated George, she got signed to a major modeling agency, she walked a couple of runways, she got a big spread in Harper’s Bazaar, and then as soon as she and Clooney broke up, her “modeling” career went nowhere fast. Here are some of the relevant (Canalis-related) excerpts from Cavalli’s interview in Hello!:
Turning to Elsabetta, what do you make of her romance with George Clooney?“George and Elisabetta are in love. They’re both gorgeous, fascinating people and their romance is a dream. People need to dream and this couple’s love story reminds you of those legendary romances of the past.”
What kind of woman is she?“Young, intelligent – these days intelligence is knowing how to make your way: it’s a must in order to be successful if you’re ambitious enough, and I know that Elisabetta can easily conquer the world thanks to her ability to communicate. She’s studied English carefully and has a good accent. I think I was one of the first people she confided in about George. And I really admire him – not just as an actor, but because he’s polite and charming, someone who you can discuss anything with, someone who listens. I’ve known him for years because he’s best friends with Cindy Crawford’s husband Rande, so we’ve holidayed together on occasions. At first, I did wonder how such an Italian girl like Elisabetta could date such an American guy like George, but time has shown that this great love is going to last. In fact, I’d bet anything on it, and it’s my wish for both of them.”
What is it about Elisabetta that has fascinated a man as attractive and famous as George?“Probably her Mediterranean beauty, her unassuming, open character, her spontaneity and her simile.”
And do you have any advice for her?“She doesn’t need any. She’s organized her private life well and professionally, she’s achieved great goals. She’s studied acting and she’s working really hard. Her family has also always been by her side in all the choices she’s made, protecting and caring for her.”
Would you call her attractive or sensual?“Elisabetta is beautiful and very sensual. She’s an erotic dream for many men: it’s that mix of undeniable beauty and the down-to-earth spontaneity of the girl next door. And I think that’s exactly why she’s successful: a stellar smile in a sweet face, combined with an intriguing, sensual expression. I also think she’s one of the few women who look even more beautiful without make-up and dressed down.”
What part of her character surprises you?“Her discreetness and her positive, optimistic outlook.”
Turning to George, how do you rate the way he dresses?“He’s always elegant. He’s undoubtedly stylish and knows how to choose the right suit for every occasion. I’d like him to wear Cavalli.”
Meanwhile, you’ve undressed Elisabetta for your new underwear campaigns.
“For the next Roberto Cavalli Underwear collection, I’ve taken inspiration from a real woman – charming, charismatic and sensual. Elisabetta and I have worked together before and I knew she was the right one for this campaign: intriguing and super-feminine.”And if you had to dress her up, what look would you give her?
I’d put her in gowns like the ones she’s modeling here. Fabulous evening dresses that show off her figure. Elisabetta loves corset styles and knee-length dresses and they make her look divine.”With Elisabetta, we have a kind of Cinderella story. She dines with George’s friends Brad and Angelina and Cindy and Rande. How will a girl like her feel among such famous people?“She was used to meeting famous people before she started dating George. She’s intelligent with a strong personality and won’t have any problems hanging out with Hollywood stars. George’s friends will be fascinated with Elisabetta – she’ll captivate them.”
Their romance certainly seems rock solid. What’s togetherness to you?“To understand each other with just one look, no need for words.”
[From Hello! Magazine’s interview with Roberto Cavalli, via Clooney Unlimited]
As Lainey says so eloquently, “Bitch please.” I mean, seriously? Her admires her “discreetness” and he thinks she’s “captivating”? This budget Cindy Crawford with the softcore pr0n background? This woman who dropped everything in her life in Italy to be Clooney’s “beck and call” girl is somehow an icon of independence. And she’s an “erotic dream” for men? Oh, for goodness sake.

@ Kaiser: Did you mean ‘is’ the new crotch of Cavalli as opposed to ‘in’ the new crotch…which sounds like a whole other kind of post? LOL.
George does get his lady-loves *snicker* some good gigs though, doesn’t he?

Isn’t it about time to call Time Of Death on these two? She’s had the career boost, shouldn’t his community service hours be about up so he can pick up another model/loser who needs to be seen with him?

Why does Clooney keep dredging up these tarts and trying to make them respectable? Does he have some sort of Henry Higgins complex or are they the only kind of women who can meet his strange proclivities? I mean you can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig you know…

*sigh*…No fool like an old fool (that goes for George too!)—and it’s getting slapstick-comical now. I think Mr. Cavalli blew sunshine up my ass so hard I need to put my sunglasses on. Who is he kidding?

You’re right about her history, and how blatant Cavalli’s being in talking her up as something more… But I can’t dislike her. She hasn’t annoyed me in the way that Sarah Larson did, anyway. I think she suits George.
Frankly, I think there was a lot of exaggeration and hyperbole in Cavalli’s comments, but I have to agree with the “erotic dream” bit. If my ass looked like that, I’d like to think I’d be an erotic dream for men, too.

that’s all she is around for, he can guarantee a career boost but nothing in the bedroom.

There’s no soft porn scandal, some people are saying that there are some porn videos of hers in the web. Unfortunately for the haters, the girl in the videos is not Elisabetta Canalis, but a pornstar that looks like her (don’t know what her name is).
Kaiser, why so mean with Elisabetta?
She has her own career and does not need to be George Clooney’s fiancée to be a “high profile” model.
She’s modeled for loads of italian fashion and jewel companies before, therefore she’s not using George’s fame to gain notoriety.

@Attagirl: I think Clooney is trying to make his sleazy, old, and possibly closeted self look respectable. especially now with award season approaching.

I wouldn’t call her a “low-budget” Cindy Crawford, but she sure does LOOK like Crawford. to the point that I thought it WAS Crawford in the banner pic.
don’t think Clooney is gay, I think he’s got the hots for his buddy’s wife and is living vicariously this way.
to Attagirl: I don’t think it’s a Henry Higgins complex in the standard sense…I think he purposely picks women who are NOT as accomplished as he is so that he can have the “upper hand”, not necessarily so that he can pass along his knowledge and “educate” the woman. Just so that he’s “in control” in the relationship.
frankly, I don’t think his ego could handle a woman who is (essentially) his “equal”.

The only thing more ridiculous is McCona-gay’s baby momma (that trite Camile Alves) getting her own show- hosting Sheer Genius.
I freaking HATE these women. I know too many truly talented tireless women who who are passed over because the likes of these star fokkers and the apparent ability to suck great sox, or get great weed. maybe both.
edit: also aren’t Clooney’s ears getting enormous?

I think she’s gorgeous, even with that tattoo. What, was Cavalli supposed to come out and give some lukewarm announcement – “yeah, so there’s this woman who’s with Clooney. She’s okay, nothing to write home about. I’m sure she’ll be dumped soon, but for now, I’m sucking up the publicity this can give me.”
And she does have an awesome ass, even if it’s probably airbrushed. It’s certainly not her fault that she looks like Cindy Crawford.
@sumodo – I’ll take that bet. He’s gotta have someone to walk the carpet with and if he sticks with Canalis, there’s the added benefit of extra publicity about them being in loooove.

The way i see it, George is like a fukcing pinball bouncing around in a big pinball machine and every once in a while, he hits on a flipper zinger, all the lights go off, ding ding ding, and shit lights up for a while and then he goes down back in the hole until he’s ready to be shot out again and hit on the next lit up target. He sucks. But that’s just because he’s so over exposed. And now she is too. I wonder if we would have thought Cary Grant was a shit in these media-centred days and times…regardles, i LOVE it, and i LOVE CELEBITCHY, because it really has gotten me through some rough days, and i get a chance to let out my inner critic! THANK YOU CELEBITCHY

I hope they are both happy . I think sadly they will break up . She will get way too much press . They are both at different stages of life . Dosn’t she remind you of a female GC 18 years ago ? I think poor George is in for the bigest heart break of his life . I can see that one comming a mile off . She is going to take over the world ! Just wait …. this summer she will go into action ! She will be on the cover of every magizne from here to Nigeria ! Movie deals ect …. He will be standing there holding her handbag and coat while she charms the world !!!!

She looks like a dude, and those tats are fug. And there seems to be no ass there, folks, arching your back and sticking your hindquarters out normally results in a *larger*-looking ass, not a barely-there butt outline.
All this attention is strictly because of her association with Clooney. As Kaiser pointed out, Larson’s modeling career only lasted the duration of their relationship and she was back serving drinks.
This one will soon return to being the toast of Italy, as she will also be shown the door once movie awards season is over. He always needs some “legit girlfriend” to walk the red carpet with.

Has anyone noticed that George’s girlfriends never turn up pregnant? He must have had a vasectomy…if not look for Elisabetta to turn up preggers to have George hook, line and sinker.

I second Praise St. Angie!! The endless list of D-Lister and Wana-Be women is all about controlling the relationship and calling the shots. This one is a step above the others as far as having her own career, but not by much. George could not handle an equal.

I Third Praise Angie – you were on the money but so are a few others. I had been wondering how Clooney keeps these girls from trapping him with a baby. I figure he must have a vasectomy too. The kicker is wonder if he tells the ladies or if he gets an enjoyment out of knowing they are probably secretly trying to get pregnant. But I want to add one more thing. I think Clooney is just smart, he likes to play the field why should he get married and have to fork over half of is income to some gold digger in two years? Wish those other hollywood idiots would learn from Clooney. (Charlie are you listening?) Then we wouldn’t have to read about the Denise Richards and Brooke Muellers of the world.

I fourth St. Angie, I agree you nailed it.
I love George as an actor and he seems like a really great guy, but his personal life always seems a little too flaky and low brow. However – he’s always been honest about it and what he wants and doesn’t want. I’d much prefer people do that than say, get married and have kids while still screwing every skanky pancake waitress from here to California on the side. You know.

The two Italianate lovebirds do have a legendary romance, if by “legendary” you mean “it might last through summer.”

I live about 20 minutes from Chez Clooney in Laglio and have done for almost 20 years. Elisabetta Canalis first became popular as a dancer, a ‘velina’, on a TV show called ‘Striscia la notizia’. Big thing, dancing girls in Italian TV, every show has to have them. But I have to say that Elisabetta and the blond who was her counterpart were the least obnoxious and classiest of these girls over the last decade. And given the scandals that have rocked the Italian television industry recently it becomes obvious that her refusal to go the route of the casting couch as many of these dancing ‘hos’ have done has set her apart and also cost her work. If hooking up with Clooney gives her profile a boost and helps career then more power to her, she deserves it.

She’s classically beautiful, but it’s funny how they had to give her butt a shadow to make it look like she had one!

TG and lucy2, I agree with you guys on the “why get married” issue, too.
I don’t fault Clooney for playing the field. it is WORLDS better than the alternative. that is, getting married every two years or staying married but screwing everything on the side.

she’s too tall… she reminds me of a preying mantis with their retractable limbs.. super tall and skinny just equals all knees and elbows in bed… not that I would know what a tall skinny girl is like in bed O:-)

I still like her and George together. She is FAR less annoying than that Larson Vegas chick. And she holds her OWN when she’s with Clooney. She has her own money, her own life and her own “celebrity”. It seems with or without George, she will do fine, unlike Larson.

Silly question but why is she the face (and body) of a campaign that is directed at women? Because she is dating Clooney, that makes her so aspirational to other women and seeing her in this outfit will convince all women to go out and buy the underwear that she is getting paid to wear? It is a bit of a stretch to think that Clooney is that desirable these days that anything his girlfriend does (courtesy of his name recognition) will inspire the masses to start a shopping frenzy at Cavalli. Maybe women wanted to date Clooney back in the ER days but 15 years on and he is still doing the same frat boy shtick, he isn’t attractive anymore. Wasn’t she papped carrying a Victoria Secret bag in early Dec when out shopping with a girlfriend in LA?

They’re the only type that would be seen with him. Classy businesswomen and genuinely decent women wouldn’t be seen with him.

I respect Clooney for not getting married, but I personally don’t think he even likes women. I think all these women are beards who think they can change him, and get a rude awakening when they try, which is why they never last long. Money-grubbing hookers reaching for the brass ring. And I don’t find him attractive at all, I think it’s his libtard political views that killed it for me, but he’s just not all that anyway. I wouldn’t buy anything his latest flavor of the month shills just because I’m sick of all this relentless promotion of no-name famewh*res, and I won’t support it with my dollars. In fact I have not bought things I thought were cute simply because I cannot stand the “celebrity” name attatched to it. So it could backfire on Cavalli….it just remains to be seen. Besides, I don’t look like this chick (thank the Lord for that) and I never will, so they’re not marketing their crap to me, which is fine.
