George Clooney denies ‘holding hands’ with his ex-girlfriend in London

For most the Cannes Film Festival, Stacy Keibler was in the south of France, living it up and going to parties and events and doing everything solo. George Clooney, meanwhile, was seen partying in London in the company of some familiar-looking ladies. One of the ladies in particular, Monika Jakisic, might have been a Clooney ex-lover. Adding to the suspicion that Clooney & Keibler were and are dunzo was the Daily Mail’s reveal that Stacy and George haven’t been seen together since mid-March. So, was Clooney really acting like a single guy in London? In Touch Weekly says so:

This weekend, George Clooney cozied up to a woman who is not his girlfriend, Stacy Keibler.

In Touch can exclusively reveal that the actor was spotted holding hands with his ex-fling — Croatian model Monika Jakisic — at Loulou’s members-only club on May 25 in Mayfair, London.

“They seemed to be having a great old time together,” an eyewitness tells In Touch of the former flames. “He didn’t seem to care who saw them. He was being openly affectionate.”

The pair also danced to hip-hop most of the night.

“Lots of people were going up and saying hi to George — he didn’t leave Monika’s side,” the eyewitness tells In Touch. “The place was packed but he didn’t seem to care who saw them inside the club. They were laughing and looked very comfortable together and were there ‘til very late.”

Despite George’s affection with Monika inside the club, the Ocean’s Eleven star and the leggy brunette left the venue separately.

“He left first and she left after him,” the eyewitness says. “He didn’t want to be photographed with her. Maybe she was a shoulder for him to cry on — not that he looked like he was crying. He looked very happy — they were smitten with each other.”

George, who has been with Stacy since July 2011, was linked to the Croatian beauty in 2007. Stacy and George have been reportedly having problems for months, though they have yet to confirm a split. George is currently on location in London filming The Monuments Men.

The part of that story that I threw a side-eye at was the part about “dancing to hip-hop”. Clooney has a bad back! He wouldn’t dance to hip-hop. Maybe he would dance to Frank Sinatra. MAYBE. But that’s not the part of the story that George decided to throw shade on – George issued a statement to several media outlets: “The story is made up. I wasn’t holding anybody’s hand. Stop trying to sell magazines by creating scandal that isn’t there.” Huh. So he wasn’t holding her hand. But was the p in the v that night? I mean, as long as we’re getting specific denials, we should ask. But I guess this is the signal that Stacy and George are NOT completely ready to call it quits. He still cares enough to issue denials about “holding hands” with a young lass not his girlfriend.

    George never ever addresses gossip. He must still be with Stacy to come out with a denial publicly.

    • lucy2 says:

      That surprised me too, doesn’t seem like he usually cares about that sort of thing and just lives his life.

      He looks so different in the post photo I didn’t even recognize him.

    • Me Three says:

      He seems to get pissed when the media decides he’s dumped his latest “girl.” He likes to control when that gets out.

      What I”d like to know is how any one could say they are still together when they haven’t been “together” for almost 3 months and they’ve had multiple opportunities to be together. It’s not like he’s been in Afghanistan. He’s been in Germany and Stacy was in Spain a month ago and didn’t pop over for a quicky.

      Celebrities are such egotistical idiots. Does anyone really care what 20 or 30 something George Clooney is banging?

      Used to be a fan but the way he seems to view women–or I guess I should say, the women he seems to prefer–make me think the guy’s nothing more than a heavy drinking sexist you know what!

  2. Sue says:

    Wow, he is starting to look really old! Maybe she was holding his hand to help him cross the street or keep him from falling……

    • pantalones de fuego says:

      He does look super old. Does he wear dentures?

      • lori says:

        He got some sort of dental work done about 3-4 years ago (vaneers or something) and now he looks like Chompers from Theres something about Mary

    • LahdidahBaby says:

      The mustache isn’t helping! It makes him look like one of those fading matinee idols of yesteryear. Ugh. All he needs to complete the image is a pipe and smoking jacket…and maybe a touch of guyliner. ew. eew. eeeeeeew.

  3. janie says:

    Love him! It’s about time for some new blood? I am surprised he made a statement, that’s unusual. I’d waste 2yrs of my life playing house with him, in a New York minute!!

  4. Liber says:

    However he had been denying for months when canalis contract was expiring, as well. I remember he flew to Como to have a dinner with her and simulate a big fight when it was already clear they were over.

    • Miss M says:

      I remembered that and the gossip blogs stated they were in a romantic dinner and 2 days later they announced the split through a joint statement. He is trying to be less predictable…

  5. Tessa says:

    He looks old here. He’s lost it. It’s just gone.

    • Me Three says:

      He does look horrible but partly because he’s still filming a movie and his hair and mustache are apparently for the movie. Those glasses are really ugly as well.

      But…I do think his lifestyle is finally catching up with him. He seems like someone who eats very little and drinks a lot. When you do that you end up skin and bones with a little paunch…which he seems to have developed. And all that suntanning through the years has caught up with him as well.

      Oh well…that’s life. He’s lucky he’s rich, famous and powerful. There seem to be an unlimited number of girls out there more than happy to do whatever he wants. Some cocktail waitress /”model” is getting a Brazilian right now in preparation for snagging ol George! As long as she has lots of naked or half naked photos all over the internet, she’s got a good chance of being the next one!

    • Lauren says:

      Georgie looks unwell. My dad is 69 and diabetic & looks better than GC..not kidding. In fact my beloved Grandpa Allen looked better than Georgie when he was dead. Lordy, what is Georgie doing to himself. These skeezy, dumb women are killing him.

  6. Mourning the Death of Music says:

    Those glasses are not flattering on him.

    • Decloo says:

      I love the glasses. They are very Cary Grant. I know he’s going gray but I think the ultra gray hair and stashe are for his movie role.

  7. marie says:

    *whispers* he was actually holding his boyfriend’s hand. he released the statement because he’s offended that his dude looks like a lady.

  8. Toot says:

    How old is George because he looks like he’s in his 60s, but I don’t think he’s that old.

  9. TG says:

    Some people are speculating that he is denying the breakup in order to help Stacie finalize a deal or something like that. Get more perks for being Clooney’s #1. Doesn’t he always run back to an ex in between girlfriends? I recall he ran back to Lisa Snowden’s arms or rather he whistled and she came running, when he had recently broken up with someone else.

    • pantalones de fuego says:

      51 or 52. My mom just turned 57 and he looks older than her fo’ sho’.

    • Miss M says:

      This! Her tv show has not aired yet.

      • Me Three says:

        And does anyone think that a supermarket reality show is going to be a hit? I hope Stacy has saved up a whole lot of money because, based on the little I’ve seen of her “acting” she has absolutely no chance at hosting or acting in anything but maybe a Hallmark Movie on the Hallmark channel.

        I’d never heard of her before she became George’s latest. I suspect she’ll go back to the D List lifestyle she seemed to have before her “relationship.”

  10. Shelley says:

    He really likes them Z-listers doesn’t he?!
    I hope he is not stepping out on Kiebler. I don’t like her but that would be tacky

  11. MistyNinja says:

    He looks like Chester the Molester-next door creepy old guy that your parents always keep their eyes on. This dude has always seemed creepy to me. These photos really accentuate that vibe for me.

    • Me Three says:

      And, like almost every other male Hollywood star out there today, hooking up with women 20+ years younger than they are does nothing for their look as well! It just makes them look older and ridiculous!

      The other Hollywood star who looks like a pervy uncle with his “girl” is Alec Baldwin. That guy was played by a professional. Old Hilaria wanted an entertainment career and seems to be on every magazine show and every gossip show. She poses like a starlet with poor ol’ Alec and he just looks like her perverted old uncle.

  12. KellyinSeattle says:

    He’s starting to look more and more like Inspector Kluseau.
    She has Gary Shandling lips.

  13. Lulu says:

    Why would a bad back preclude you from dancing hip to hip? I’ve seen photos of he and Ellie doing it

  14. choppersann 13 says:

    I get this is yesterday’s news..but he looks like hell and she is no ‘Croatian beauty’

  15. Lorenzo says:

    She was all over Cannes like a plague and didn’t had the time to visit him although she had no job and nothing else to do than dressing up and grinning?
    Must be true love.
    He’s acting like a fool who just doesn’t want to let her go.
