Elisabetta Canalis is making millions from her association with George Clooney

canalis2

Don’t cry for Elisabetta Canalis, America. Bitch is getting hers, and then some. She’s not going to be Sarah Larsen’d, forced to return to working as a “waitress” and “hostess/escort” for paying customers. No, Elisabetta is a star! And she’s got the modeling contracts to prove it. According to Page Six, Elisabetta has been raking in the dough with appearance and modeling contracts in Italy, and she’s looking to continue working in America:

Don’t feel too bad for George Clooney’s ex, Elisabetta Canalis. The born-to-be-in-a-bikini brunette, who split with Clooney after two years in June, has made a fortune from sponsorship and TV deals in Italy, and may soon be landing even bigger contracts in the United States.

A source said the TV host and actress “has made around $10 million from deals in Italy, and soon will be popping up everywhere.”

It isn’t clear if Canalis has landed a big modeling contract or an acting job, and a rep for the shapely siren couldn’t be reached.

[From Page Six]

The Italian entertainment industry is so different than the American industry, so I don’t doubt that Elisabetta was and is able to parlay being “George Clooney’s girlfriend/Clooney’s ex-girlfriend” into some major money-making schemes and genuine A-list celebrity status in Italy. And think about it – golden gagging clause or no, Eli hasn’t even given an interview since her split. I’m sure there are Italians tabloids or magazines willing to shill big money for that exclusive.

Meanwhile, there were rumors that Clooney had already moved on to a new Italian bird, but Clooney sent a denial to E! News, just so all of those Italian birds would know that he’s single. He said, “The Italian press, from Corriere Della Sera to TGCOM, Ansa, NewNotizie, Sky.it and even Vanity Fair are all running a story that quotes me as saying that I’m bringing a ‘new girl’ to the Venice Film Festival. I never made that statement and it’s not true. It was made up to sell tabloid magazines. It’s a ridiculous lie and should be corrected as publicly as it was originally written.” Translation: I’m looking for a new girlfriend, and I’m willing to buy her new boobs in time for the Venice Film Festival.

  1. Hmmm says:

    She already had TV jobs and some modeling jobs before George and now she is going back to it. Is this actually news?

  2. Praise St. Angie! says:

    I just can’t get past how manly looking she is.

    the cavalli ads are ridiculously photoshopped. the first pic has her nose with a little (almost) upturned tip, and the second one looks more like her actual nose. photoshop fail.

  3. Bubulle says:

    Please if the 10 million bucks figure is legit it comes from the confidentiality agreement, I’m not italian but I don’t think you can make this kind of money over there for just being a famous ex.

  4. Thea says:

    That last pic just freaks me out with that jawline and 5 o clock shadow…Im talking about her.

  5. BLAH says:

    I don’t think that Italian entertainment industry is any different form American one.
    Do you want us to believe that nobody in US slept his/ her way to acting roles or gigs? Are all US celebrities talented and virginal? No coke or alcohol addict? No producer asking any favour to actresses (or actors)? No fake relationship or marriage to boost one’s career?

  6. gogi says:

    She had big adv contracts before meeting George. These contracts can pay alot. She posed for some calendars that sold a lot. She had TV well paid gigs. And she has been working for more than 10 years. So, yes, compared to other girls in her same position (before George) I think she must have done from 5 to 10 millions before meeting him.
    Don’t ask me why. Apparently many men do like her and her pics.

  7. Rita says:

    Wow, that denial by George is a real C-Lister’s stunt. As if anyone gives a crap or will be surprised if he shows up with multiples.

    He must be entering the post-mortem (or is it post-partum, same thing) phase of his midlife crisis (Also known as gray-dong).

  8. Swinky says:

    I can’t believe the vanity fair picture; her flat-chested self, and then the Cavalli pictures. Seriously, where have here boobs gone? Maybe george took them, since they propably where his to begin with…

  9. Jennifer says:

    I’ll be your dirty whore, GC.

  10. phlyfiremama says:

    That last picture kind of makes her look like a cross between Janice Dickinson & Spaz de la Huerta.

  11. Cakes says:

    I still think “shes” a he

  12. silken_floss says:

    I respect her hustle. Get that money, honey

  13. really says:

    That is soooooooooooooooo a TRANNY.

    Welcome to the world of fotoshop!

  14. garvels says:

    Don’t blame the girl. Isn’t this how all of the Hollywood/Models make their dough. If the Lardashians can make money modeling why can’t Elizabetta. She is 100 times more attractive than Kim kardashian. Is Elizabetta suppose to sit in a corner and pine away for George like some poor, helpless, little victim. She should go for the dough,everyone else is!

  15. WTF says:

    nice side eye in the last picture LOL

  16. marge says:

    On the VF cover, she looks so flat-chested, so I guess that the Cavalli ads are not only photoshopped, they used a body model and just pasted her head

  17. Patricia says:

    I know it’s been said before but it absolutely bears repeating … Dude looks like a lady

    Maybe she can use some of that money to complete her sexual reassignment. Now that she’s a “model” and planning to curse the states, I would really appreciate it

  18. Jana says:

    Wow, how quickly you forget. I always recognized her name when hooked with George. But just her name alone, I had no idea who they were talking about until I read the article.

    Look, he started dating her when she was working in the industry in Italy, whether B, C or D lister. So naturally she is going to reap the benefits now of her relationship with him, present and now past. If he didn’t want that, he would date someone differently.

  19. original kate says:

    that’s a man, man!

  20. Kara Ann says:

    An interview with Canalis would be news worthy? Really? What could she possibly say that would be of interest?

    “I was Clooney’s piece for a bit and then..(tears and sniffling)..we broke up. I never saw it coming.”

    There people, that’s the interview. It’s just breathtaking. Seriously though I like her a little bit for just shutting up. She would just look stupid to give an interview about breaking up with her relatively short-term boyfriend that has openly admitted that he has no interest in marriage.

  21. Maritza says:

    Yeah, that bottom photo sure makes her look like a transvestite.

  22. misty says:

    Sounds like ‘ol George is wanting Eli to know he’s not moving on to fresh meat. Could it be he is pining for her?

  23. Anonymous says:

    This is just her way of saying “Up Yours Clooney”!

  24. Aqua says:

    This is just her way of saying “Up Yours Clooney”

    Sorry for the double post computer problems.

  25. Laylajane says:

    She’s one of the prettiest TRANNIES, I’ve ever seen!!!

  26. jane16 says:

    The reason why she looks so flat on the VF cover is that her boobs hang very low. If she harnesses them up with a bra or bikini top, she looks endowed. If not they flatten out and hang down. She’s lived a hard fast life, and is aging in accordance with that. You should see the lines on her face.

    btw, that last pic is classic. She must have been seriously pissed at him. Too funny! Well, now that the Eli era is over, I think I might miss her snotty shenanighans!

  27. i.want.shoes says:

    Call me crazy but she actually looks nice and “feminine” in that 3rd picture.

  28. the original bellaluna says:

    Of course she is! What else is an “un-employed” gold-digger to do?

  29. cindigirl says:

    Right Janie16, that last pic of the infamous dress at the London premiere (where it looks like the dress was held up by her nipples). She looks like she’s Queen and George looks like he’d rather be on another planet. LOL

  30. K McFarlane says:

    She’s not a tranny! The only thing masculine about her is her jawline, and that’s no proof. Princess Stephanie can look equally masculine and she’s no tranny either:

  31. april says:

    Good for her. She’d be a fool not to cash in. I think she looks just as good as Angelina Jolie. As I recall, even Sarah Larson got some modeling jobs after her break-up with George out of sympathy.

  32. Camille says:

    I’m not a Clooney fan, so I don’t (get the) hate this chick, so all I have to say is- good for her. *shrugs*

  33. louiset says:

    Elsabetta was famous in Italy before meeting George so it’s unfair to say she owes George her career. She may get some work in USA but like Sarah Larsen, the offers will dry up in 5 minutes.

  34. REALIST says:

    Wow, the bikini shots are so photoshopped! I don’t think she is masculine looking, I think she is attractive, but I guess the photographers wanted more “La dolce vita!”
    Had to roll that in-I inadvertedly shared an Italian man with I don’t know how many woman for awhile-glad I finally woke up from the charm fog! I finally realized that all the charm was scripted-bleech-what a cliche. Looks like Elisabetta may have the same opportunistic bent (albeit after a different goal) as my Italian guy.

  35. Alynn says:

    God she’s ugly! But she managed to model for Roberto Cavalli, thats impressive! Thanks to george I guess

  36. wunderkindt says:

    Does anyone know if she was born as a woman or a man?

  37. observer says:

    It’s b.s., as usual with this worthless skank and her publicist. The biggest paying job she got as a result of her association with Clooney was the Cavalli contract, and there is no way it came close to paying that much. She only got a few other minor gigs including working for some obscure Portegese coffee maker manufacturer. She did not get modeling jobs before her association with Clooney, despite what her p.r. are saying here and elsewhere. Her publicist is desperate to sell her and thinks that if she tells more blatant lies it will somehow trick someone into actually hiring her. She’s not model material– too old, too short, too ugly. She can’t act. Without association with George, Cavalli dropped her. She’ll be back hooking in that Milan nightclub very soon.

  38. Ruby Red Lips says:

    Thought it was Janice Dickinson at first glance from the pic on the main cb page…and thats NOT a compliment when ur in ur 30’s!

  39. la vipera says:

    I’m Italian and I think that there s no place for her in our entertainment industry… she is able to do nothing!!!!!

  40. LucyOriginal says:

    The Italian press mentioned a while ago that she is making 4 times more than she used to do before dating George. She used to cash in 30,000-40,000 euros and now she might make 200,000 euros or more. I mean come on?! how stupid people are for paying her that amount of money if she has absolutely -1 talent (zero talent would be a lot of talent in her case). No wonder tv is infested with reality shows…

  41. mia says:

    NEW CINDY CRAWFORD? Anybody else think so?

  42. Truthful says:

    that is a man, long bone structured face.

    the mere size of his head is huge..and its not in the forehead area.

    Janice D. started looking like a tranny in her later yrs. this chick is only 30+.

  43. Birdy says:

    She might have made some cash when she was dating him and she might get a couple of offers post split but will anyone outside of Italy remember her name in 6 months? Highly doubtful.

  44. Ruffian9 says:

    Cavalli is some tacky ass sh*t. So, this fits. By all means cash in now EC, an A-list ‘ex’s’ bankability drops day by day. What’s Sarah Larsen up to lately? Exactly.

  45. She's (finally)Done says:

    ugh and double ugh. if this train wreck becomes famous in her own right and i have to look at her ugly mugly for the rest of my days, i will be seriously po’d…it is a crime that someone so vacuous and insubstantial gets to profit by association. she and cavalli are a perfect match. muse indeed.

  46. She's(finally)Done says:

    stick a fork in her….

  47. Sylvia Smith says:

    she really resembles Jillian Michaels from the Biggest Loser

  48. I take pleasure in, lead to I discovered exactly what I used to be having a look for. You have ended my 4 day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day. Bye
