Vegas Bartendress Fails To Tame Bucking Bachelor Bronco George Clooney
Posted by Seth at 2:45 AM on May 30, 2008
Call us incurable romantics, but something about the pairing of Hollywood elder statesman George Clooney and Sarah Larson—the Phish-loving, sandworm-emulating Ginger to his Fred—seemed to us more than your standard, fly-by-night arm-candy operation. This was a girl who inspired in George acts of chivalry previously thought not possible—on one occasion requiring him to come nearly to fisticuffs with a physically imposing margarine-spokesman just to protect her privacy. Yes, we naively predicted these two crazy kids would find a way to muddle through, in road rash and in health. We were wrong:
George Clooney has broken up with Sarah Larson after nearly a year of dating.
According to a friend of Sarah's, the Leatherheads star recently moved out of his LA home while the 29-year-old former Las Vegas cocktail waitress removed her belongings. "George is relieved to be single again," says an insider. "He thinks Sarah is sweet and that is why it was so hard to break up with her." [...]"The truth is that they had little in common and he just doesn't want to be tied down," explains the insider. George's rep told In Touch: "I can only confirm that we have never commented on George's personal life."
One can only imagine how painful that last, longing glance backwards was for the young, comely Larson, her arms loaded down with two beach bags full of gritty bikini components, massage oils, and European fashion magazines, as she called out behind her, "Goodbye lovingly tended shrine to Max the pig! Goodbye Villa Oleandra and its dedicated pizza room! Goodbye Wii bowling tournaments in Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's office after Darfur press conferences! And goodbye, George. I think I'll miss your new smile most of all."
- George and Sarah split! [In Touch]

@juniperjenny: Maybe if you stopped telling guys how you wish they were funnier they'd stick around longer.

Nearly a year? That's better than I've ever done. Does that mean I'm a confirmed bachelorette? Awaiting confirmation?

It was the Harper's Bazaar article that broke the camel's back.

Could entertainment reporters please continue to refer to George Clooney as "the Leatherheads star" for at least a few more years? KthnkBai.

@kookla: She also broke the second rule, which is having a vagina.

When she did her recent photo spread and subsequent interviews, Larson broke the first rule of Clooney Club, becoming more famous than him.

Okay. If they had little in common, why did it take a YEAR to break up? I mean, come on people! Oh yeah. Amazing sex?

They have a lot in common. I'm guessing they both like to sleep with men, for one.

...when either George or Ms. Larson has a baby with Clay Aiken THEN we'll know they are sincere in their relationships... perhaps sincere in different directions - but sincere nevertheless.

Wasn't George dating a woman for a few years that didn't speak English? I assume she was "sweet" too.

My guess is that the dumpage has been on the cards since the minute the bikini and magazine licking photos hit the web. I'd bet George just waited a respectable amount of time before giving her the boot. And, to be honest, I can't blame him.

OK, people, the George gay rumors... Where did they come from? When did they start? I am completely clueless on this one. Anyone care to enlighten me?

@heidiho: Thank goodness it's not just me who didn't hear of this before. Of course, a good looking man without a gay rumor is like a day without sunshine, so I shouldn't be surprised. Maybe some embittered director is o'russelling up trouble.

@heidiho: @heidiho: Clooney's director's commentary on the Good Night and Good Luck for starters. Abut 60 seconds in his refers to his co-producer as his lifetime partner "and by partner, I mean....partner." It was around then I started thinking "No woman on earth is good enough" was only the SECOND reason he hasn't re-married.

@Venus_In_Retrograde: I don't have anything as concrete as that, and I haven't heard any rumors.
I just watch Clooney interact with people and think "that guy's gay", and that's what drove my comment.
