George Clooney: Hollywood's Hottest Bachelor Plays the Field

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted Jan 29th 2011 05:00PM

Although you'd never guess it, this silver fox who consistently tops 'Sexiest Man Alive' charts was given the nickname 'Frankenstein' by his childhood bullies. Now, the horrors of his middle school days long gone, George Clooney is one of the world's most eligible bachelors and is no stranger to scoring with Hollywood's equally hot actresses, models ... and waitresses.

George's fame-making role as a doctor on 'ER' definitely didn't hurt his heartthrob status, and in 1988, George moved in with actress and girlfriend Kelly Preston. Although their relationship didn't last more than a year, it did lead him to the love of his life -- a pig named Max. George had bought the pig for Kelly while they were dating and claimed full custody after the couple called it quits. Max kept Kelly's empty side of the bed warm, sleeping with George at night.

But it wasn't just the boys, George and Max, for long. In 1989 George eloped with actress Talia Balsam in Las Vegas. The newlyweds had dated briefly five years prior to their Vegas nuptials but George would later say that the couple rushed into marriage. And the rush didn't end well; in 1993 the two called it quits. George's four-year taste of married life was enough for Hollywood's leading man to make one more vow -- to never marry again.

George's next partner, Celine Balitran, came with a side order of leggy blonde. In 1996 George met the bombshell waitress while filming 'The Peacemaker' in Paris. Once George wrapped the movie, the law student wrapped her life in France and headed back to Hollywood with him. George called Celine his petite copine for three years before they split.

In 2007 George began dating cocktail waitress and former 'Fear Factor' contestant, Sarah Larson. The attractive couple (we would expect no less) was a staple stunner on the red carpet even when Sarah was sporting crutches along with her gown. The pair was struck by a car while riding their motorcycle in New Jersey. But just a year later, after the violent fender bender that should have brought the two closer together, George put one more beautiful fish back in the sea.

Although he purchased an Italian mansion in 2002, George didn't have to buy the affection of Italian model and actress Elisabetta Canalis, who is 18 years his junior. In the summer of 2009 the two took their relationship public when Elisabetta began accompanying the silver fox to his red carpet events. The couple remained on solid ground for more than a year as rumors of George finally being ready to give marriage a second go began to circulate. But in January 2011, George took to 'Piers Morgan Tonight' to announce that he plans never to marry again. Elisabetta was apparently clued in to this fact along with the rest of the world.

Although we don't see George going back on his vow to keep his bachelor days alive, it does seem like he has finally found his life partner in Elisabetta. But if not, we have a feeling George won't have a hard time finding the next equally beautiful Mrs. Clooney wannabe.

There is NOTHING ugly about George Clooney. Get your eyes checked.

I have never seen what makes one consider him handsome either. And not even that good of an actor.

By sheilph2

All the women have the same face. For him, it is the thrill of the chase because there isn't much difference among them. I give him credit, he is quite clear he will not remarry. Only silly women think they will change him.Why would he marry? What would he get out of it? If he wanted kids, he'd have them. And, since none came along accidentally I guess that question is answered.

Christie is pretty, but obviously had plastic surgery - I think Jamie Lee Curtis and Sarandon are pretty for their age. Helen Mirren is hot as hell to be in her sixties

By wctr9r

THAT is one hot man. His latest sizzlingly hot bedroom scene in "The American" was oooolaaalaaa. Being a humanitarian doesn't hurt either. The sleazy Charlie Sheens of the world- could learn a thing or two from this guy......

More b.s. from Canalis's publicist. Canalis is 17 years younger, not 18. And this is particularly hilarious: "Although we don't see George going back on his vow to keep his bachelor days alive, it does seem like he has finally found his life partner in Elisabetta."
First of all, she and Clooney have a publicity contract, not a relationship. They rarely see each other, and only for photo ops. Second of all, the cokewh*re and her trashy publicist send out press releases full of lies, not least of which are about what Clooney’s father said during the Piers Morgan interview. So I really don't see Clooney renewing this skank's publicity contract, let alone actually dating her. In a press release that was picked up by several websites and publications, Canalis claimed that Nick Clooney said he wants George to marry her. THAT IS A LIE. Nick Clooney NEVER mentioned Canalis. Canalis was not mentioned at all, not once, not by Nick or anyone else. Cagna falsified the words of the father of the man who has helped her for the past year, and succeeded in having her lies published in major outlets. The transcript of the interview proves that no one mentioned Canalis and that her press release was a LIE. What kind of person lies about the elderly father of the person who has been helping her “career” with a publicity contract for over a year? Not a nice person, that’s for sure. But as Canalis is implicated in a cocaine and prostitution investigation in Italy and is best known for playing a stripping nun in a soft porn movie, I guess no one should be surprised that she’s such a lying lowlife. The lying trashy cokewh*re and her lying trashy publicist’s lie-filled press releases continue. In the latest one, she’s claiming to be surprised that George doesn’t want to marry her. ROFL. Really, Cagna? You expect us to believe that you’re surprised, after repeated public statements published on Gossip Cop and elsewhere by both George and his rep for months now, that he has no intention of marrying you? PopSugar even got him on video weeks ago saying he doesn’t want to marry you. And you want us to believe that you’re actually surprised, that this is somehow news to you, a fake, publicity contract girlfriend implicated in a cocaine and prostitution investigation in Italy, that George has no intention of marrying you? Cagna is a LIAR.

By this is hot

Ok. So? Has been and is current. What's the point?

This society hates men with the gall and ability to stay single as long as they wish. Men hate because most of them became a mule for a woman's dreams way before they needed to. Woman are mad because of how gracefully men age! What women his age looks half as good as he does!

A woman's beauty is all down hill after 35. And we all know what menapause does to the female body!

Go George! whenever you decide to shut down there will be women waiting!

Marishka Hargitay is his age and I think she looks better than him. Damn sexy and cute. Same for Michelle Pfeiffer, Michelle Yeoh, Marcia Cross is 45. He looks OLDER than them... WAY older.

Yes, and let's not forget Kathryn Bigelow, director of The Hurt Locker. She's 59 and absolutely gorgeous. Women are taking care of themselves these days and it shows. They don't need men in their lives, but the men sure seem to need them, LOL.

He peaked like 5-10 years ago. Now he looks like HIS dad. He's the spitting image of him. Too bad he doesn't know how to be a man like him too.

All the women you mentioned are like most aging white once pretty Hollyweird types! They have all been under the knife so many times they cant remember how many themselves! Face lifts, tummy tucks, botox, fake lips, fake breast wigs, hair coloring, etc. . And I didn't even mention how they like most women won't even leave the house without using that face paint that you call make up!

Women wont dare even letting us see you until you "Put your face on"! Not being mean just stating the facts!

As I said female beauty peaks early in a woman's life. Thank God for all of your beauty "SECRETS"!

You really think George is any different? He just got his entire mouth capped, his teeth are totally different. He looks different than he did, believe me I crushed on him enough. He's had lots of work too.

None of them look like us, we don't have the money. Get real. Except for a few lifetime vegans/yoga types, none of us look great in our 50's. Gravity. Stress. Environmental toxins..

Men don't age any better than women do. The fact that some men think they age better than women is a testament to how persuasive women can be. Do you really think that Hugh Hefner's new fiance is marrying him for his looks? LOL. Physical appearance of both genders declines with age, it's just a fact of life. But you just go right ahead and believe the next twenty-two-year-old gold digger who says you look hot. LOL.
