More details have come out about George Clooney’s motorcycle accident in New Jersey a week and a half ago. Clooney and his girlfriend of the moment, Sarah Larson, a 28 year-old former cocktail waitress were thrown from his Harley Davidson after a collision with a car.

A witness tells The National Enquirer that Clooney kept his cool and was careful to tell Larson not to move after the accident. This is key in the case of a potential spinal injury and if their injuries were worse Clooney’s advice could have saved her from being paralyzed:

“I saw the bike hit the curb, and then Clooney and girl hit the ground. If they hadn’t been wearing helmets, they would have been killed instantly,” eyewitness David Sciumbata told The Enquirer.

“They were pinned under the bike, and it looked like her leg had been crushed.”

David, a guitarist, watched the mishap from his front proch in Weehawken, N.J., around 3 p.m. on Sept. 21. He called an ambulance and then rushed to aid the couple.

“Clooney was clearly in pain, but he kept asking the girl about her spine,” David said. “He was afraid she might have been paralyzed.

“He tried to keep her clam. I heard him say ‘Please don’t move. You are going to be fine. I don’t want you to move your leg or your back.”

Clooney did absolutely the right thing. Medline says that “If you are in doubt about whether a person has a spinal injury, assume that he or she DOES have one” and that you should not move a person after an accident unless it is absolutely necessary as in the case of getting them out of a burning vehicle.

Both Clooney and Larson escaped from the accident with minor injuries after being treated at a nearby hospital. Larson suffered a broken toe while Clooney fractured a rib and had road rash.

Clooney was quite level-headed and smart to tell Larson not to move and to stay calm after the accident. As much as I like to rip on Clooney for being an incurable womanizer, he gets points for this one. There was a report in a NJ paper that claims he also told he loved her in the moments after the accident.

Clooney and Larson are still together, and she was seen hobbling outside of his hotel in NY on crutches for a night out on the town last night. In one picture he’s shown smoothing her hair or picking something off her face. Her eyes are closed and she’s clearly relishing the attention. Thanks to Splash News for those pictures.

A slightly injured George Clooney vowed not to replace his dearly departed pet pig, saying he was irreplaceable and that he’s too busy to care for an animal like that anyway:

He says, “You can’t replace a good pig like that. I’ve been down to the Carolinas to shoot this movie and then cutting and writing so I haven’t been home since January. And you can’t get a new pet when you’re on the road. Well you can - but people will talk.”

Meanwhile Clooney and his flavor of the month girlfriend, Vegas cocktail waitress and former Fear Factor winner Sarah Larson, 28, attended the premiere of his new film Michael Clayton last night in NY. Larson hobbled in on crutches with her foot bandaged. Contrary to earlier reports, she did not break her foot, just a toe.

Clooney make a thinly veiled reference to his now perhaps slightly constrained hot sex life with Larson after their motorcycle accident in Weehawken, NJ on Friday. People Magazine quotes him as saying they were “just resting” and that “You don’t really want to rub or massage parts that are broken or anything.” Maybe he’s referring to the fact that he can’t rub her feet now. I’m guessing that’s part of Clooney’s regular foreplay scenario and he’s all too conscious of a deviation from the script.

Larson covered up a black eye with makeup at the premiere and despite her injuries it seems like this accident was a lucky break for her. She ate a scorpion on television for a measly $25k, surely she’ll accept a broken toe and black eye to insure that she gets the maximum publicity out of her relationship with fickle Clooney. From the way Clooney is standing apart from her, I bet she wouldn’t have scored a red carpet appearance with the lothario if it wasn’t for their motorcycle crash. He can’t replace his dear pig, his companion of 19 years, but women are a dime a dozen.

Clooney will not be charged or issued a ticket for his motorcycle accident. He was said to have told Larson “I love you” after they were hit. Maybe they’ll last, but I doubt it.

George Clooney has been dating a 28 year-old cocktail waitress that he met at the Palms hotel this June at the Oceans Thirteen premiere. Sarah Larson worked as a hostess and waitress at club Moon in the Palms, and recently quit after Clooney started squiring her around the world. He brought her with him to the Deauville and Venice film festivals and is even said to have moved her into his place.

Showing the type of blind ambition that it must take to hook up with one of the world’s most notorious womanizers, Ms. Larson was once a contestant on the skeeve-fest that is Fear Factor. In 2005 she appeared on the game show, winning $50k with her then-boyfriend. She didn’t shy away from drinking blood or ingesting a cocktail with a scorpion in it. When it came time to commit to her boyfriend, though, she got scared and left to pursue her dream of star fucking:

In 2005, and her boyfriend at the time, waiter Dan Randolph, decided to go on the TV program “Fear Factor” as a couple.

Sarah’s challenges on the show included downing a martini with a scorpion in it and swallowing blood.

The pair won $50,00 on the show, but reportedly ended up losing half of it gambling on blackjack at the end.

They took the remaining money and used it as a down payment on a house.

“Dan wanted to settle down with Sarah, get married and have kids,” said [a] pal. “But she had other ideas. They split up soon after they moved in, and Sarah was dead-set on becoming rich and famous.

“Now that she’s living with George, it looks like she may be on her way to becoming both.

“George took her to Europe with him right away, and they spent most of the summer together there.

“When Sarah wanted to head back to the states, George begged her to stay - and she’s been living with him ever since.”

Maybe I’m so harsh on her because I’m one of those people that can’t even watch Fear Factor. I’m half in awe of and half disgusted by the contestants who actually go through with the ridiculous dares in the name of entertainment. Being humiliated like that on national television should be worth a hell of a lot more than $25k a head, and that’s only for the people who win the challenges. Aren’t there contestants that eat bugs and entrails and end up going home penniless and sick to their stomachs?

I wonder if dating Clooney is anything like being a contestant on that show. He’s said to be a moderately kinky guy. It must take a certain kind of daredevil to put up with his demands in the bedroom, realizing that they’re taking their chances with ever winning the prize of commitment, even for a month or two. Then again, there are always women who are up for challenge, and letting Clooney have his way with you must be more pleasant than eating scorpions.
