These are some new photos of George Clooney and Stacy Keibler last night in LA at the 26th Anniversary Carousel Of Hope Ball (Presented By Mercedes-Benz). So… they’re still together. Good to know. I actually had to choose these photos very carefully, because there were several pics where George looked like he was having a stroke and Stacy was his young nurse who was half-carrying him down the red carpet. I’m just saying… Clooney’s motto of “I keep getting older and they stay the same age” has reached a critical point. He looks less like a carefree bachelor enjoying the pleasures of younger ladies and more like an old fart who doesn’t know what to do with it now that he bought it. Something nice: George and Stacy were at the event because George was being honored with the Brass Ring Award for his years of humanitarian work.

And yes, Stacy is a hot mess. Her dress is Monique Lhuillier. It’s… eh. I mean, it’s not awful. I think I would have liked the dress if the colors were different, or if it was a solid color (maybe a deep wine color, or a metallic). It feels very “establishment” and like she’s saying stylistically that she knows the event isn’t about her, but she still wants to look nice and well-put-together. The dress honestly reminds me of something Rita Wilson would wear to one of Tom Hanks’s premieres.

Everything past the dress is kind of bad, though. Why can’t Clooney buy Stacy a decent hair stylist? Why does her hair look so awful so consistently? I mean, I guess we should be thankful that it’s not another ratty bird’s nest hairstyle, but this looks like an awkward helmet. Also: I think Stacy is trying to ease herself into a darker shade. She’s slowly and subtly stepping away from the blonde. Clooney does seem to prefer brunettes, from what I can see.

Last thing: did George buy Stacy some new bolt-ons? Discuss.

George Clooney and Stacy Keibler were in NYC for a few days. I don’t know if they’re still in the city or what, although Page Six did a piece about them yesterday. Apparently, George and Stacy made an appearance (together!) at the Chelsea club No. 8 on Tuesday night, after George went solo to a screening of Argo earlier in the evening. Basically, what I’m saying is that Cloons & Keibs are still together. Definitively. For now. What you have to remember, ladies and gents, is that Clooney generally keeps his “steady girls” around for anywhere between one to two years. Sarah Larson lasted more than a year and a half, and Elisabetta Canalis lasted a solid two years. So Stacy’s got some time. She’ll probably make it into March or April of next year, that’s what I’m assuming at this point.

But just because Stacy’s contract isn’t up yet, that doesn’t mean that the tabloids will stop with their “Let’s See If Can Get George Clooney Married” campaign. The latest move comes via The Enquirer. And possibly Julia Roberts…?

Julia Roberts saved George Clooney’s relationship with Stacy Keibler by knocking some sense into the perpetual playboy, say sources. Clooney got cold feet after he and Stacy celebrated their first anniversary as a couple – and that’s when Julia Roberts rushed to the rescue.

“When Julia heard that George was about to end the relationship before it got too serious, she told him Stacy’s a great girl, that he should latch on to her, and that he was too old to keep playing the field,” revealed the insider.

George and Julia were recently together again in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, where George is producing ‘August: Osage County’ with an all-star cast including Julia.

When rumors began flying that George was about to dump Stacy, Julia gave him her pep talk, telling him that marriage and children are “more important than all the moves and Oscars,” revealed an insider. “She even told George he should marry Stacy and start a family.”

“George agreed that although he and Stacy had a rough spot, they could still make it work… but he still wasn’t promising anything about getting married!”

Poor Bedhead – Julia Roberts is in her state right now, honking like a GD goose. I wish Julia would just stay out of it so that we can all collectively throw Agent Bedhead into Clooney’s path. “Stacy who…?” he’ll mutter as he writes out a list of all of things Bedhead is going to need as his newest girlfriend. 1. A team of stylists. 2. A new wardrobe. 3. Handcuffs and some rope. Yeah… Julia needs to mind her bidness. In all honesty, I can’t even see Julia cosigning Stacy as a suitable partner for George. I can’t even see Julia acknowledging that any man, anywhere, has any woman but JULIA (!!) in his life.

PS… Does anyone else think that Clooney is physically morphing into Hugh Hefner? Right?

Stacy Keibler gets the last laugh! Not really, though. Stacy just wins for this week. Days ago, the NYDN reported that Stacy and George Clooney were nearing a breakup. Stacy then sent out some damage control information – something about how she’s “100% moved-in” with George, as if that means something (if you can move in, you can move out too). Plus, George has been in Oklahoma, waiting for Agent Bedhead to come to him with her whips and chains of love. But last night, Stacy and George were very much together at the Beverly Hills premiere of Argo (which Clooney produced).

So, what do the optics say? They say, “STFU, we’re still together.” Clooney’s eyes say, “Her headlocks are really good, so she can stay for a little while longer, but chica is ON NOTICE.” Stacy’s eyes say, “OMG OMG OMG I WILL NEVER LOOK AT A WEDDING GOWN EVER AGAIN.”

Stacy does look good though – well-rested and tan and like she’s lost a few pounds. Her dress is interesting – I feel like we’ve seen it before, but I think I’m mis-remembering a Herve Leger dress she wore earlier this year. This dress looks like Herve Leger, but it’s vintage Azzedine Alaia, which says a lot about Herve Leger. She looks pretty. George looks like… eh. He looks like himself. This time last year, I kept saying that George looked like his back was killing him. He’s standing up straighter, and he isn’t wincing as much, so maybe his back is doing better.

So how much longer will George and Stacy last? Will they make it through another awards season?

Two days ago, The New York Daily News reported that George Clooney and Stacy Keibler’s “rocky relationship is almost kaput. The couple who’ve been hot and heavy for more than a year are still dating, sort of, but it’s anyone’s guess how much longer they will last.” Apparently, Stacy was acting a little crazy and nervous and George pretty much isn’t speaking to her anymore. What’s interesting is that it’s been 48 hours and nothing has happened. No denials, no confirmation. Some might say that the lack of a denial IS the confirmation. So, what happens now? Does Stacy get a visit from Clooney’s lawyer, and she’s forced to sign a non-disclosure “exit contract”? And then does she get free room and board for one year at the Lonely Ho Hotel? Well, Stacy is fighting back! She managed to get this dropped into Life & Style:

Shacking up at Chez Clooney! Life & Style can exclusively confirm that Stacy Keibler has moved in with George Clooney, her beau of 15 months. “She’s 100 percent moved in,” an insider tells the new issue of Life & Style. “She spends her summers with him in Lake Como, Italy, and all her stuff is at his place in LA.”

The insider says that while Stacy, 32, maintains a small rent-controlled apartment in West Hollywood, she uses it as a storage space for mementos and personal items. “All her clothes are at George’s, and she never goes home.”

Cohabitation is a big step for George, 51, but the insider insists The Descendants star is the one doing the pursuing. “Stacy is his dream woman!”

[From Life & Style]

What’s interesting is that I’m pretty sure this isn’t new at all. There were reports that Stacy had pretty much moved in with George Clooney last year, a few months after she made her debut (as Clooney’s Latest Piece) at the Toronto Film Festival. In various tweets, Stacy has even referred to Clooney’s house as “our house” or “our place”. And besides that inconvenient fact, Stacy is not the first girlfriend who has lived with him. Elisabetta Canalis lived with him. So did Sarah Larson. The girls always move in, but they can always move out.

Oh, and Agent Bedhead told me that Clooney is already on the ground in Oklahoma, and he’s been sighted by lots of locals and local media outlets. So Stacy is “living with Clooney” at his place while he works in Oklahoma? Interesting. Sidenote: we really need to convince Bedhead to try her luck with Clooney. I want to see Bedhead in a Roberto Cavalli gown and beehive hair on the red carpet for Clooney’s next movie.

For the past month or so. I’ve kept quiet tabs on George Clooney and Stacy Keibler, and how it seemed like they were spending more and more time apart after a summer of togetherness in Italy. Despite tabloid reports claiming that Clooney had finally found “the one” and that he was seconds away from proposing, I chose to believe that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, meaning that Clooney will never “change”. So this idea that Clooney would eventually throw Stacy over has been percolating (for me) for a while. Adding to the feeling? Stacy was ballsy/stupid enough to do a photo-op for engagement rings and then watch Vera Wang’s wedding gown runway show. And now the New York Daily News has a really interesting story about the messy state of Stacy and George’s relationship:

Serial Hollywood heartbreaker George Clooney may soon be up for grabs. Confidenti@l has learned exclusively that lovebirds Stacy Keibler and Clooney’s rocky relationship is almost kaput. The couple who’ve been hot and heavy for more than a year are still dating, sort of, but it’s anyone’s guess how much longer they will last.

An eyewitness who saw Keibler at a recent cooking event tells Confidenti@l that “she was acting really nervous and refused to talk about George.” After another function last week, a well-placed spy blabbed, Keibler was tearful about the situation. Stricken with grief, Keibler was seen breaking down on and off throughout the day and needed to be consoled by her handler. The source also says she kept checking her phone for texts or calls from Clooney.

“They’re barely talking,” another snitch reveals. “She is worried that he may break up with her any day now.”

Even though Keibler denied reports they had broken up last month, the former WWE diva attended New York City Fashion Week sans Clooney, and the two have spent a significant amount of time apart.

Keibler, 32, has been in New York City for weeks, while Clooney, 51, has been crashing in Bartlesville, Okla., while filming “August: Osage County” with Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep and Juliette Lewis. Clooney is also the film’s producer.

“George is being really distant and pulling away from her,” says our source. “She wakes up every morning and doesn’t know what’s going to happen.”

We hear the bodacious blond — who recently was signed to host the Lifetime Channel’s new competition series “Supermarket Superstars” — is nervous that on-screen opportunities will dry up if she and the superstar split.

“She’s well aware that she needs to get as much work as possible right now,” says the insider. “She’s working as much as she can.”

Meanwhile, Clooney has been cool and collected on set and palling around with his A-list castmates.

“He hasn’t said much about Stacy” and “has been focused on the film,” according to a movie-set source in Oklahoma.

Clooney will be honored at Oct. 20’s Carousel of Hope charity fete in Beverly Hills. We’re wondering if he’ll RSVP with a plus one. Spokespersons for Keibler and Clooney couldn’t be reached for comment.

Last month, there were breakup rumors too –they originated in The Sun UK, and George’s rep shut them down pretty fast. I wonder if this current round of rumors will percolate for a few more hours and then we’ll get another denial? Or maybe Clooney’s rep won’t say a word, and then we’ll know for sure. Poor Stacy. She’s going to have to check into The Lonely Ho Hotel after all. Sarah Larson and Elisabetta Canalis are probably chuckling to themselves right now.

I’m kind of surprised that Stacy Keibler and George Clooney are so stable and downlow these days. They’ve been low-key all summer – mostly vacationing in Italy and throughout Europe, it seems. They’ve already passed the one-year mark too – remember when they got together last summer? Stacy was beckoned to Italy and then she was sent home (perhaps Clooney enrolled her in girlfriend bootcamp) and then she showed up in Toronto for the film festival? Ah, good times. Anyway, I keep hearing random tabloid rumors about Clooney finally believing that he’s found “the girl” he wants to marry. I tend to ignore those rumors because… it’s Clooney. But Stacy’s hustle is admirable, and she’s doing a much better job keeping the relationship locked down. So maybe George is prepared to reward her… with a ring!

Every girl dreams of a ring from George Clooney – and now Stacy Keibler has one! Sources reveal Clooney recently gifted his former WWE wrestler girlfriend, 32, with a beautiful gold piece. But don’t listen for wedding bells just yet.

“It does look like a wedding band, but it’s actually a very simple vintage gold ring,” a friend of Stacy’s tells In Touch. Still, Stacy was floored by the blingy gesture. Says the friend: “She was blown away!”

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]

It feels like one of Clooney’s practical jokes, right? He says softly, “I have something for you, baby.” Stacy’s breath catches in her throat. Clooney pulls out a small little box, his hand trembling. Stacy heart is pounding so loudly, she can barely hear the voice in her head screaming, “OMG OMG OMG OMG All of those headlocks worked!!!!!!” Slowly, too slowly, he opens up the box. “Will you… will you take this antique ring as, like, a girlfriend thing?” And Stacy bursts into tears. Good one, Cloons!

When I first saw this story, I immediately recognized this woman’s last name (Radziwill), but I also thought to myself, “Of course this Real Housewife bimbo could not be in any way connected to Princess Lee Radziwill, sister of Jackie Kennedy Onassis.” But Carole Radziwill IS a relation… by marriage. Princess Lee’s son Anthony married Carole in 1994. Anthony died in 1999, just a few weeks after his first cousin John F. Kennedy Jr. and John-John’s wife Carolyn Bessette perished in a plane crash. Anthony battled cancer for years, and once I put a face to the name, I remembered seeing Carole Radziwill promote her memoir on Oprah, and how sad her story was. You can read Carole Radziwill’s Wiki here – she was a TV journalist and producer for years, and she had a legitamite and award-winning career, and she ended up marrying into the Bouvier-Kennedy family (-ish) – so why is she the newest cast member on the Real Housewives of New York?!? Girl, are you poor?

Anyway, long story short, Carole Radziwill boned George Clooney. It wasn’t a one-time thing, I guess, because Carole’s fellow Real Housewives are now gossiping that Carole and Clooney dated for a whole year… at some point?

Before Stacy Keibler, before Elisabetta Canalis, there was . . . Carole Radziwill? On Monday’s episode of Real Housewives of New York City, the new Bravo star’s supposed A-list dating past came out of the woodwork during the girls’ trip to St. Barth’s.

As the 48-year-old author and memoirist showed off her sexy bod in a tiny bikini on the beach, an impressed Sonja Morgan quipped: ““Look at the a** on Carole . . . No wonder Clooney did her for a year.”

Radziwill addressed the intriguing name drop on Twitter Monday night: “I don’t kiss and tell but if I did tell I’d say Clooney was a very good kisser . . . But I”m not saying……just saying.”

No other details have been revealed about her supposed romance with Clooney, now 50 and dating Stacy Keibler for a year.

For her part, the What Remains author is now casually dating Aerosmith rocker Russ Irwin. She is the widow of Anthony Radziwill — a Polish prince and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ nephew — her husband of five years, who died in 1999 after a long battle with cancer.

I guess Carole and Clooney dated after she was widowed and before George’s string of cocktail waitresses and “models”. Which would put it sometime in the early to mid-aughts. He was single, she was single, so it’s not scandalous or anything. It does make me think that George Clooney might have something of a Taylor Swift-like “thing” for the Kennedys too – dating Jackie Kennedy’s nephew’s widow? For real, Cloons? Other than that… I’m kind of impressed that at some point in his life, George dated a woman with an education and a career that required more than “turning her face to the light”. Of course, that woman did end up becoming a Real Housewife, so maybe she wasn’t so different after all. George Clooney and Gerard Butler are the same – they’ve both boned Real Housewives. Think about that.

George Clooney is a wanted man. For some reason. I never did get around to seeing The Descendants, because everyone kept telling me how awful it was and how George didn’t deserve any awards for it. Which isn’t surprising, because I think Alexander Payne is pretty overrated. But I digress, back on topic: everyone wants George. Everyone thinks George has all the answers. Everyone hopes George will help their career. To George’s credit, he has helped out many careers, and getting the Clooney Stamp of Approval means a lot… in Hollywood. But is George powerful enough to help out Brad Pitt’s catastrophic production of World War Z? WWZ will be in reshoots at some point (or have they already past? I don’t even know), and Brad is allegedly seeking George’s help to untangle himself from this disastrous money-pit production:

It’s like WWIII on the set of Brad Pitt’s $170 million zombie movie nightmare, World War Z, and now the star is begging his A-list friends – especially his bestie, George Clooney – to step in and help out any way they can.

“Things are in a dire state, and now the script is being scrapped and completely rewritten,” says an on-set source. “As coproducer, Brad is absolutely desperate to turn things around. He’s asked for George’s help with overseeing the new screenplay and is also talking about bringing in his pals Cate Blanchett and Natalie Portman for cameos.”

Brad believes that George’s keen story eye will fix a lot of the film’s issues.

“He’s treating everything George says as gospel and feeding it straight to the director Marc Forster.” Marc, who was almost fired from the project, is being compliant,. “He’s taking every single note!” says the source.

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

I tend to think that if Brad called Clooney or Blanchett, they would drop everything to help a brother out. But would Brad call them? Eh. Several parts of this story don’t make sense – Vulture claimed several weeks ago that Brad wasn’t even talking to Forster, and that it was like Brad didn’t even care about this unending film anymore. Can you see Brad hustling to make sure WWZ isn’t a complete disaster? Eh.

Meanwhile, George’s girl wants his help too. She wants to work with him! Oh, no. Stacy, DO NOT go there:

Stacy Keibler is angling to shack up with George Clooney – in a TV trailer. It may not be as glamorous as his Italian villa, but it will give the hot couple an opportunity to work on a project together something sources have been telling In Touch they’re very eager to do.

Adult Swim funnyman Paul Scheer has secured Stacy for an upcoming episode of his crime satire, NTSF: SD: SUV::, and is hoping she can recruit George, 51, following his personal invitation.

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]

If it was Matt Damon, he would totally do that. Matt Damon will appear on whatever dumb skit or TV show he’s asked to do. But George? George would only do that for a dear friend. And Stacy is not his dear friend. She’s his girlfriend, and that’s why he gets his dear friends to hire her for smaller, unimportant gigs: so she won’t want to work with him.

Does anyone else think George Clooney is going to look leathery as he ages? Like, the second coming of George Hamilton. George has never been a pale guy – he’s always had a lovely olive skin tone, what I like to think of as “Mediterranean” if that’s not too much of a stereotype. But it seems like George has never liked SPF, and he likes the sun. So, Stacy Keibler is trying to keep up her color too. She wants to be nice and tan as well. Unfortunately, Stacy might be going about it the wrong way. Star Mag claims that Stacy has bought a tanning bed, and now George is thinking about dumping her because of it. COLD.

George Clooney is seriously turned off be a new piece of “furniture” that his girlfriend, Stacy Keibler, bought for her LA home.

According to a source, Stacy upset George by blowing tens of thousands of dollars on a high-tech tanning bed.

“He was attracted to her initially because she seemed like a natural beauty who didn’t obsess about her looks,” the friend says. “But that’s not really true, and it’s beginning to bother him.”

George, who works hard to cultivate an intelligent image, genuinely worries that Stacy’s tanorexia will reflect badly on him, says the insider. Ironically, Stacy thinks purchasing the bed was responsible – because now she won’t be driving back and forth to the salon twice a week.

The insider adds, “She is not taking his disapproval seriously, but George has dumped girls for smaller offenses.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

Let’s be real – “He was attracted to her initially because she seemed like a natural beauty who didn’t obsess about her looks”?? I remember what Stacy used to look like, before Clooney – a busted cocktail waitress. He hired a team of people to give her a makeover, and the result was Stacy looking like a slightly less-busted cocktail waitress. He could go anywhere for “natural”. He wants someone who won’t embarrass him on a red carpet, and Stacy is TRYING. So, I’d say Clooney is fine with Stacy being somewhat high-maintenance as far as grooming and such goes. That’s how he made her, you know?

Besides all of that – does Stacy even have her own place in LA anymore? I think she moved into George’s house. She refers to his home as “ours”. Which could be one of those “dump-able offenses.” In any case, Gossip Cop spoke to a “source close to Keibler” and they said the story is false. Battle of the unnamed sources! Who do you believe?

Some photos of George on a commercial shoot in Italy earlier this week:

I think I should begin this post by sucking it up and admitting I was wrong. I truly did not see Stacy Keibler hanging around this long. I thought Stacy would have only had a few months left after her fug fashion parade during George Clooney’s promotional duties last year, and then I was surprised when she managed to make it through the awards season. After the Oscars, again, I thought for sure that Stacy would be done. But Stacy has made me BELIEVE! I believe in the power of love now. If “love” means “contracts”. No, no – there is no contract for this. I think George actually enjoys her company. I think Stacy must be pretty low-maintenance and bubbly, and she’s athletic enough for the kinds of kinky sex George loves (allegedly). Stacy is still around – and not only that, she and George seem pretty stable. Stable enough to make it another year? Perhaps. Stable enough that George wants to marry her? Oh, Stacy. Don’t get your hopes up, girl.

George Clooney has reputation for being Hollywood’s ultimate ladies’ man. But sources close to the 51-year-old playboy say that after a recent family vacation in Europe went off without a hitch, his mom wants him to get hitched to model girlfriend Stacy Keibler, 32. George also seems to be pretty into the idea of making her his wife.

Earlier this month, George and Stacy chilled with all four parents at George’s Lake Como compound, in Italy.

“That’s where George and Stacy first fell in love, so having their parents there was important to them,” an insider says. The Clooney and Keibler clan got along so well that the friend is calling the trip “the final step before George and Stacy get married. Now everyone believes a wedding is in the works!”

George’s parents “adore” Stacy. “She’s the first girlfriend George has had in decades that his parents will spend time with,” the friend dishes. George’s mother, Nina, “is definitely pushing him to marry Stacy – and have babies!”

If George popped the question, Stacy would “say yes, without a doubt,” another friend says. But Stacy, who’s nothing like his high-maintenance ex, Elisabetta Canalis, would never pressure him.

“Stacy isn’t just George Clooney’s professional girlfriend,” the insider says. “She has her own career.” [Note by Kaiser: I LOVE THAT WHOLE QUOTE.]

George has shied away from the topic of marriage in the past, but it seems he’s rethinking his stance. The source says, “He’s looking to settle down, and he wants to marry Stacy.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

Do you really think Elisabetta “pressured” George into making some kind of commitment? Eh. I do remember that George spent time with Elisabetta’s family too – and just a few months later, he and Eli were over. Of course, Eli was giving interviews about wanting to be married too. In retrospect, I think Eli was probably much more vapid than we originally assumed. But “vapid” is what George likes. Maybe Stacy is playing a brilliant game – a bit vapid, very sweet, and a bit pushy (but not too much). All I know is that if Stacy ends up Mrs. George Clooney, I’m not sure Clooney’s fan-girls will think she’s “worthy” of him, and “The Clooney Fantasy” will be irreparably damaged. That’s George’s Catch-22 – everyone wants him to get married and have babies, but no one thinks his “girls” are good enough to be his wife and mother of his children.
