George Clooney’s girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis has lasted more than two months, for anyone who had money riding on it. Speaking of rides, Elisabetta is still getting the same Sarah-Larson-esque, glowing, ridiculous press coverage. At least there are no smarmy quotes from Clooney trying to convince us that Elisabetta is a “great co-pilot” for ride of life. Instead, we get this lovely little report from In Touch Weekly, all about how Clooney is lavishing gifts on his lovely working girl:
George Clooney’s romance with Italian TV personality Elisabetta Canalis is heating up. According to a pal, Clooney is so smitten that he recently presented her with a ring. It’s not an engagement ring – but it is a sign they’re getting serious.
As In Touch first reported, George invited Elisabetta to move into his Studio City, California home and now that she’s there, he’s spoiling her rotten.
In addition to slipping the Cartier diamond on her finger, George also bought her a Hermes Kelly bag and countless pairs of designer shoes.
“Every day is like Christmas at George’s house for Elisabetta,” says his buddy, adding, “He’s even looking at a Maserati. He’s had a great life for a long time, but she seems to make him very happy.”

And now I just wasted way too much time looking at Cartier’s jewelry collection on their website. Jesus, I really want like twenty of those rings. Please, George? I’ll do anything you want, seriously. I have big boobs and I’m a brunette. And I’ll do anything for expensive jewelry. I’m so your type.
Also, I would much prefer the sports car to the engagement ring. Granted, if you get the engagement ring, the car could come after that. But come on! Sports car > diamond ring.
Why do you have to be so mean about Elsibetta? Their relationship is their own business . . .and, don’t you think it’s nice he’s treating her well?
She looks a lot like Sandra Bullock in the bottom picture!
And I just spent entirely too much time looking up Hermes on ebay. If I win the scarf I just bid on, this article is to blame.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with their relationship or George dating her – it does seem odd though that she’s getting so much positive press when she’s basically a pornstar..
Ok…I missed something….Is, “Italian Presenter” an euphamism for porn star?
Why exactly do people get so upset by this woman?
Very rude to call her “hookeresque”…Her past is her business and so is her relationship with George.
She’s a pornstar?
She looks beautiful in the first picture,love her dress.
International press call tv hosts presenters. She hosts TRL Italy or something like that. From what I read about her she only dates celebrities, especially soccer players. Some sites have posted screencaps of her doing porn but I don’t know if it’s confirmed it’s Elisabetta. George has a reputation of being an old-school good guy. So it’s baffling that instead of dating decent women, he keeps hookingup with women with pasts.
I could not love her dress more, and she looks fantastic in it. Don’t know or care about the relationship.
fun for her…
There is no reason that George can’t date a pretty lady who maybe kinda did some bukkake films, or ‘entertained’ Vegas high rollers. The funny part is the part where the mainstream media thinks there’s something wrong with it and works to hard to paint the women as wholesome motherly types.
George is a grown-ass man; he can sleep with whomever he likes.
Sugar daddy…George Clooney, the next Hugh Hefner.
He really is the next Hugh Hefner. If Hugh Hefner were gay and in the closet. Come on people, Clooney hasn’t had a real relationship the ENTIRE time he’s been famous. Not one girl with substance. Not one woman even close to him in age. Not one woman who is anything more than a show piece for the press. And just in time for the two movies he has coming out (Pardon the pun).
The hookeresque remark has the whiff of jealousy.
i think shes freakin hot. good job george. LEAVE THEM ALONE
Wow Kaiser, love the MK-esque snark!
George seems to really like Elisabetta. Let’s hope she doesn’t ‘Sarah Larson’ (you know start to buy into the hype that you are as famous as the man you are screwing and act like it BEFORE you get the ring and walk down the aisle) and get kicked to the curb.
“Not one girl with substance. Not one woman even close to him in age. Not one woman who is anything more than a show piece for the press. And just in time for the two movies he has coming out (Pardon the pun).”
Decent women don’t waste time with actors. I theorize that he would leap at the chance to date a socialite, heiress, woman with a career in diplomacy, but they wouldn’t have him.
If Elisabetta is hooker-esque then so is the vast majority of us human beings. Good for her, Clooney seems like an enjoyable fling.
@ Charity is Chic – I have questions about your rationale.
“Not one girl with substance. Not one woman even close to him in age.”
Why are those necessary qualities in a relationship? Are Ashton and Demi a total cover-up, because they aren’t close in age at all? And substance… that is really vague. What counts as ‘substance’ to you?
lol, I wouldn’t exactly call her a hooker… she’s just european… :/
She is a very lucky lady. I think he picked her because she looks like Cindy Crawford.
I love them together.Clooney is boring without a ladyfriend. And the only thing more fun than Clooney with a new girl is seeing how crazy his fangirls get over it. He could marry a Mother Theresa clone and I swear some of them will still pitch a fit as if it affects them personally. I love it!
There’s nothing wrong with this girl in his eyes. And he’s the one dating her.
I also find nothing sorid about her being known to date celebrities. That’s the circle she runs in, so why should that be such a big deal to some?
Clooney is super-cool. And you know he has a type and he sticks with it. Whatever works for him I say. He seems like someone who would be a blast to party with.
I found her incredibly beautiful. They are a nice (and hot!) couple. Wonder if she would have such a bad press if she were an american?
She made two naked calendars 8 years ago, but also many normal things in Italian television. She’s very famous in Italy, is a sex symbol, but isn’t a porn star (there’s a porn star that resembles her but is called Oriana).
He’s an over rated actor. I have a difficult time watching anything he’s in. It’s irritating…..he’s that bad.
I’m sorry, I just can’t get past her trashy tattoos! Just can’t do it!!!!
She looks like a cross between Sarah Larson and Cindy Crawford. CC is married to one of his best friends… hmm interesting? He appears to have a type. His charity work aside he’s not that interesting.
ok girls for the ennenth time… she is NOT a porn star. She did some naked shoots for Max, GQ, Vanity Fair but that’s about it. And, if you were to read her interviews you would discover that she is anything but a woman with a past. Quite the contrary. She has been exceptionally tame for being a TV celebrity.
Look at his face, he is really smitten. And she looks… together. Natural, beautiful without trying too hard, and confident.
I like them together.
“Hooker-esque” THANK YOU! Was trying to figure out the right term for her. “Ho Du Jour” kind of had it, “Porn Star” was up there too but Hooker-esque pretty much sums it up. George, George, George, what are you thinking? You can’t take her home to Mom for Thanksgiving….you could take ME though. Waiting patiently! LOL!
So sorry KAISER, but YOU are not his type. I doubt you will ever be. See the problem with you for him is YOU HAVE A BRAIN. You have a life, and you can THINK for yourself. 🙂 With that said , George really is hot, but diamonds “are a girls best friend.” ps. I also doubt that you are needy. You know that those are the things George loves in a woman 🙂
She does look like Sandra in the second picture. I really think George just get with these women & have some fun for a while. I do think they know what they are getting into when dating him .I do not think he lies to them about what he wants. He gives them gifts for their time along with a little fame, and that’s why none of them ever do a “tell all” book or interview. I also think he got the hell hurt out of him with the end of his marriage.
No, Lola bella… Kai ser tries way too hard to emulate Michael K and fails each time. Not. even. close. Weakest writer on here.
She reminds me of Gina Gershon in the bottom pic. Personally, I think she’s v. pretty and they seem to make a v. handsome couple.
From what I understand she does have a very slu**y past in Italy. There is no way she is 30, I’d put her at a Jennifer Anniston good looking 40 or a year or two older.
1 GC love, if you really care about me, don´t be a poof and let ME choose my shoes and handbags you could pay for them if you insist!
2 Ps: GERARD BUTLER bring back that sexy grey-haired Tomb Rider image of yours again just like George-boy pleaaase….
Kaiser, hookeresque! brilliant. Again marry me please.
Sakota: I totally agree with your theorization, they look great! They can´t have much substance themselves, I mean, they have the minimal required to be HUMAN (that doesn´t include Tommy-psico killer-Cruise)we all know he´s not from this “world” you can read that as you please.
Sad to say she really is 31, a smoker and a sun worshipper and rumours for years that she is also bulimic. All those will age you pretty quick.
She has a past which is less than wholesome but that’s the way George likes them, until he doesn’t and orders the next young brunette on the buffet line.
Redred, George has a reputation of being careful with his money, it’s a very important security blanket for him, it was he’s pocket that got hurt in the divorce not his heart, but he deserved everything he got, whoring around, clubbing without her and spending more time with his buddies than his wife and remember in that partnership he chased her not vice versa and she was the more famous of the two at that time. Talia was the classiest lady he has every been with (now married to John Slattery). George was the one who filed for divorce, not her just at the time he had been offered his own TV series (a detective series),a year later he chose to take the ER offer instead.
Elisabetta is just another in a long line of wanna be’s. many of them we never see because the only time he trots them out in public is when he has a movie to sell.
Thanks for the info & corrections 38 🙂
George had a somewhat long-term relationship back in, I think the 80’s, with Kelly Preston. They lived together for a while.
I remember a People story they did, had a picture of Kelly getting a horseback ride from George in front of their house. I also want to say it was around the time he first got his pig.
I think George has seen a lot of his friends settled and happy.. Danny, Matt, Brad and others. He likes to play, but not wanting to get married does not mean he can’t have a life partner. DON’T know if this chick is the one, but I guess George is having fun finding out. I agree with some of the posters on one point. For him to be a fun and serious man… HE does like his women a bit below his preceived status. And NO he does not date women one would consider of substance. They all seem to want to be somethig other then what they are. They are all tryng to grab that “STAR”. Problem is when you date George you have to be prepared for the END. All of his other women have just kind of “gone” back to where they started. My point is you have to be someone on your own before the man.. during the man.. and after the man.. George’s women have never seemed to get that. She is a bit more edgy then the others. tatoos and everything. And yeah she looks a lot like a cross between a Cindy Crawford and Angelina Jolie.. maybe George liked what his friends had and wanted it for himself.
BUT I do like George so… whatever makes him happy.
