You're allowed your opinion, but what's with the strong language.

Nobody’s getting hurt, right?

With this chick, George's reputation.

There seems to be a online war going on between the Clooney posters and websites. So many websites have come and gone in the past 3 years. I have the feeling that it is the same people setting up these sites, the same people posting and commenting over and over again,

Again, you have the right to your opinion, but get the facts correct!! All those websites are/were owned by different people. The vast majority of us us our same nics.

First, opining one way using one name and then posting an opposite opinion using another name

Since you came and posted here, I guess you are talking about us. Again, you got it wrong.

Brahahahahaha! **snort!**

Some of us have been around along time and post on a couple of Clooney sites. They are run by different people and there are new posters as well. I think you are talking about IMDB because most forums are pretty friendly. As for Eli I don't think she will be around over the summer and for two people supposed to be together they sure have an odd way of showing it. No one even bothered with the engagement stories either, guess they have given up. When George stops being pictured with them it isn't a great sign. Eli has done nothing but cause George trouble especially with not one but two scandals. He will make the breakup official when he feels like it but I just don't see him spending the summer hiding in his Villa so he can avoid being pictured with her! The funny thing about PETA is that the actual campaign doesn't start till the fall which makes all this attention and interviews now very strange! We welcome new posters and their opinions but it isn't a great idea to come out with such general and ill informed comments. For starters we all know the people running these boards are not the same people and we know that there aren't any posters using more then one I'd. IMDB has nothing to do with these boards!

Funny that. George has plenty of opportunities with women. I doubt he would have the time or be bothered to stalk Eli. He is very focused when working and I seem to remember reading it was Eli who went after George. Which makes far more sense. He hasn't been around her that much the last few months so I guess her allure has worn off. Eli hasn't been seen wearing gold sneakers at all cause she probably doesn't have any!

I missed that one. I agree, Very Funny!!!

So she leaked all the interviews she did for the campaign too? I think it was planned why I have no idea. I doubt George would think his girlfriend posing nude would give him good publicity for two movies. Especially one that is a family movie. She only did the shoot on the Tuesday then did the interviews right after so clearly things were set up that way. I don't think it was an accident I think it went the way they planned. It seems strange like it was rushed through maybe she knows she won't have girlfriend of moniker by the fall.....

Maybe it was done because it would have the most impact for everyone right before George's BD. He agreed, because he's use to people using his name for publicity, look how he has supported friends, like Rande and his clubs.

Good one Melbert,I missed that one too.

Guys! Please read this again: PETA released the story, not Betty. PETA.

PETA who thrive on publicity and pr and they schedule their press releases at a time convenient to them.

That's a weird thing to say, IMO. You really know every single shoe that she owns AND you've seen every single photo taken of her in the past 10 years of her career??

I don't think that gold sneaker girl is Betty because I don't think it looks like her, but I wouldn't make the claim to know every pair of shoes that she owns.

Dexterdidit wrote:.He is very focused when working

Yes, but remember that when he wrote, directed and starred in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, he had plenty of time to date both Maria Bertrand and also Krista Allen, as well as visit strip clubs and eat out.

But did they arrange all the interviews as well? Bette had to have agreed to it in the first place.It isn't like she has been working and couldn't fit them into her schedule. PETA is getting desperate for attention they have gotten some pretty negative press about who they have been choosing to do this campaign. Things like the people really like fur have been coming out.I think it suited both of them and the fall release is pretty moot now. The big burst of publicity has come and everyone has seen her naked (not that it is hard to find naked pics of Bette anyway). Bet when the final version is released there is photoshopping! George is probably glad he got Bette out of his hair for a couple of days and she got some attention at last. Going by the comments not very positive attention even E seems to be poking fun of her.

We said the same for Lisa Snowdon, we said the same for Krista Allen, we said the same for Sarah Larson and we'll say the same for the next one.

The reality is that the women he dates don't damage his reputation. If they did, he would have no career by now.

The forums that I know (New Kid's Cookie Crumbs, Kimber's CNCU site, Julie's forumfiles and the old 'By George' from Katie (not me!)) were all run by different peope in different parts of the world. I've forgotten the name of the Scottish lady who ran a clooney site hosted on tripod some years ago.

Speaking as a Clooney site owner, there's no advantage to closing your site and setting up a new one and many disadvantages. The reason people come to sites is for the great information, archives and a good number of other fans to interact with. You lose all three of those things when you close a site and have to start again from scratch to build all of this again.

I would tend to agree that in many cases it is the same people commenting and it's for obvious reasons: if you're a Clooney fan, there's no reason you'd limit yourself to only one site. Some use the same nickname on all sites, but others prefer to use a new nickname per site, which can get confusing sometimes. What other names do you post with, bowhunter?

I strongly disagree with your theory that people are posting contary opinions on Clooney site. On gossip sites such as JustJared, that seems to happen and you can see whole fake conversations going on, but that rarely happens on Clooney sites which tend to be better managed and moderated. Once caught, people with sock puppet accounts get kicked out.

I would like to remind everyone that if I find anyone posting using different nicknames in this forum then I will publicly post their usernames, email adresses, IP addresses and physical location in this forum.
.

Well I said probably and we havent seen her in gold sneakers in the past nearly 2 years and there have been plenty of shots of her dressed in sneakers. I agree I don't think the girl in gold sneakers is her and Bette isn't one to be ignored. She would have worn them since then so we wouldn't be wondering or we would have seen more then the one shot if it was Bette. That is true about Krista and Maria, but they were both already around he didn't need to go around stalking them. They were either on set or in the bar. No driving around needed. I would laugh my butt off is Eli now shows up wearing gold sneakers. LOL Can you really imagine George trying to stalk somebody with the attention he gets? Like no one would notice. Let's not forget the story about her asking someone about him then getting invited to a party to meet him. Same sort of thing. I think the Bros probably introduced them no stalking required!

I'm 100% sure the final pics of her will be airbrushed. All these kinds of pictures are and there's no reason to assume hers would be any different.

Yes, PETA would have set up and organised the interviews, again according to their schedule and needs. They own and control the video and the images and they're the ones promoting themselves. Betty wouldn't have been able to do any promotion without PETA.

You can also make the argument that PETA wanted the biggest PR push now and not later in the year when they may have split up and it'll be "Elisabetta who?".

Re: Elisabetta Canalis Films a Ferrero Commercial

Socimar I do believe that George met Elisabetta before their first dinner (with many paps)at hotel Majestic. Maybe they knew each other in a party or an event, dont know...But I would never believe that George was stalking Canalis bc is out of the reality!
don't get me wrong but I prefer to believe in that another story about Elisabetta stalking George. The tuscany chef Michele Gargani said that "it was Elisabetta who is around Clooney since 2007"
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
As well Felippo de la Mantia the "many stars" highly respectful chef from Majestic Hotel/Rome talked that he didn't saw anything special between Clooney/Canalis at their first dinner in Majestic Hotel and that he was surprised when he saw the italian mags with the news about their love story! And that is why I think they are telling the thuth

I don't think that is a good publicity for them ( these chefs) disagree with stories about celebrities bc they usually pleased celebrities to get good publicity for their restaurants and that is why i think they are telling the truth!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Good point. I think the timing suited the both of them. Guess they read that 100 hottest couples they did get a fairly low staying together rating. I went over to Eonline...gee we are practically her fan club compared to some of them. Although I did learn that Ted C thinks Scarlett could be pregnant with Sean Penn's kid! Some of our friends from IMDB sure do get around.

Thanks Katiedot...I forgot ClooneyStudio and CCC.

No, she's not a model. Off the top of my head, I don't think she's done much modelling in her career.

Her job is as a personality/celebrity. In other words, famous for being famous. She made her money from her calendars, from hosting widely watched TV programmes and from dating famous football players.

Once she became known, she's used her celebrity to endorse products, which includes modeling on some occasions, but that's no different from fashion magazines using other celebrities to model clothes, or clothing brands choosing her to wear their clothes (or underwear). That's endorsement, not modelling. You think Cavalli would have chosen her as face for his lingerie campaign for two years in a row if she hadn't been famous? I doubt it.

I don't think we can call her a liar on that count.

By Intouch mag print edition

Many women fantasize about dating George Clooney, but gorgeous Italian TV personality Elisabetta Canalis made hers reality - although it took her a couple of years.

According to Tuscany-born private chef Michele Gargani, Elisabetta has been after George since the summer of 2007. That’s when he sat at a table next to Elisabetta, 30, at All’Angelo in LA.

“Elisabetta was with a group of friends, and they were all speaking Italian,” Gargani tells In Touch. “She went on and on about how she loved being in Hollywood, but that her dream was to meet and date George Clooney.”

Gargani adds that when he asked Elisabetta to pose for a photo with him, she even asked if he knew the movie star! “It looks like she got her wish!”

I remember By George that was a great site too. She was in Texas I believe. So true and fair call. The moderation of the sites ensure we don't end up like IMDB and other places where people seem to be fighting with themselves! I'm a member of a couple of forums and I do use a different name but everyone knows who I am it isn't something I hide. Closing down and then starting a new site isn't something someone would do for fun it also makes no sense to do so. I appreciate all the hard work Katie and the other site owners put in and respect their rules. Their house their rules!

"PETA is getting desperate for attention they have gotten some pretty negative press about who they have been choosing to do this campaign. Things like the people really like fur have been coming out." .....and they chose Betty....who wears fur....? peta needs to start doing a little more homework.....

@clooney1970....there are also comments about this interview on the "Elisabetta/PETA campaign" thread, if you want to see more comments there.

I think they are just going with the times, most of the people getting all the press and major attention are those with scandals or the Kim K., Paris H., types and it's seems that any publicity is considered good.

Sorry, I'm not buying the "George stalking Eli" story. I remember seeing this awhile ago. First of all, He's George Clooney. If he was that interested, and wanted to meet her, do you honestly think he'd waste his time hanging out in a car in NY to see her, or try to meet her? She's not the Queen of England. He could easily have it arranged (as it seems to have turned out, it probably was). There was also an article where one of Betty's friends said that Betty was interested in meeting/dating George a few years ago. So if anyone was stalking anyone, I think it was Betty after George* (above). As for him calling her 15 times a day (or however many times it was) during San Remo, don't buy that either. I think that would have been the other way around too. If he was that desparate, he could have hopped on a plane and seen her. Yes, being and actor and director on a movie is more than a full time job. But you're not glued to the set...there is time to eat, relax, go out with a date, etc. And especially with someone of his caliber, he can make happen what he wants to make happen, and people will accomodate him.As it turned out, after San Remo, it was awhile before they even saw each other - she flew to LA first, etc. Then we have two or three "possible" sitings in Mich., but nothing positive (IMO, anyway - not going back there ). And everytime the engagement rumors got out of control, George was quick to put an end to them (the napkin ring denial came out almost as soon as the pics). He said on national tv that he wasn't going to marry - didn't seem to care how it would affect her. Not exactly the actions of a smitten man. I think she fills his "needs" - someone to hang with, a ready date for red carpets, and an easy bang when he wants it. Oh, and maybe he practices his Italian. But a great love of his life.....I don't think so....

@lucy...thanx for the IMDB update!!! Yeah, there's at least one poster over there....one more turn of the screw, and she's totally loose!!!! I would guess that George's team is aware, at least, of these and other boards. PR would want to keep track of what people are saying/commenting on. Not that it influences what he does, but just to be aware, even if George isn't.
That imdb'r is really delusional insofar as George is concerned, you can't make even the slightest negative thing about him, or she's bashing you, or threatening (not that long ago, we had a short conversation regarding pubic hair, his, and this poster went all whacked out, that George is soooo sensitive about things like this, blah, blah, blah). For someone who defends him, she really doesn't give him much credit. If we were to believe what she says, he's just a yes-boy schmuck, that has no input or say, into who he dates, or how he lives his life, and some C-list velina and her 3rd rate PR team have the power to control his life (oh, wait, I think she has the mafia at her beck and call too, right?) I'm gonna give our boy more credit than that. I think it comes down to him doing what and who he wants, and not really caring about what others think.

Katie dot - this seems to be a very clean and well run website here. I really didn’t make that comment about members using multiple names for the purpose of posting opposing opinions with this website in mind so much. I guess the jury was still out on that one - but I think you run a pretty tight ship and encourage your posters to play nice. I like your website. I don’t have the stomach for most of the celebrity websites or imdb. As for the Cookie Aisle or CCC, I also stopped visiting there after a while.

I agree with you regarding Clooney’s choice of partner and his career. He does seem to be the Teflon Man and Midas all rolled up into one.

Thank you for the thoughtful and informative post.

I apologize for offending anybody here.

I may be the only one here not from IMDB and have no idea who you are all talking about. I'm OK with that if it involves batshit crazies and nutjobs.

Some threads on IBDb are really good Sandwiches. Others - back away from quickly!!!! It's really sad when a good thread starts with wonderful input from quite a few, then is bombarded with the "batshit crazies and nutjobs". JMHO

Hi fluffy. Answering your comment here because it makes more sense to me putting it in his birthday thread.

I think George celebrated his birthday the same way he does most years: with a group of friends who aren't going to make the tabloids salivate. It's not often that his birthday parties make the press so I guess this one was par for the course.

I hope he had a great time and a rip roaring party with those he really cares about. Not the ones that the media does.

Ok, splitting these posts because we've gone waaaay off topic and I think this is interesting enough for its own thread.

Just in case anyone's wondering, I moved all the posts about George possibly stalking her (pshaw!!) to a new thread.

All of his fans (well most of us) have the romantic notion of George falling head over heels in love, and who knows maybe he has or is, but it's unbelievable that he would have to stalk any woman, let alone miss I'm so easy, ready and available bettabuns! No that isn't a negative comment IMO but a honest-factual one. He is know for his romantic gestures when a female attracts him. But to stalk, why would he need to?

While I don't think for one minute that he stalked Betty (just from a logistic point of view, I can't see how this A-list star would have been able to do in daytime central New York) he did say that when he fell for Celine Balitran, he essentially 'haunted' the bar she worked at until he got up the courage to ask her out.

That was of course a very long time ago and back in the day when maybe George still believed in love.

As for having to stalk her, I think every golddigger knows that you have to prove your worth by playing hard to get. There's no excitement if you give in the first time.

Bellybaby, what upsets me most about that IMDb poster is she-he-they are such a hypocrite, if you don't agree with her opinions she attacks you. Everything she accuses others of she is guilty of. There only seems to be a handful of posters she gets along with and I have often wondered if they are the same person. Thank all of you for allowing me to share my feelings about IMDb here, because I'm to much of a chicken to do it there! Sorry for going off topic again.

The last scan is interesting

Plus Celine didn't really know who he was at the time, so maybe she wasn't that impressed with brand GC but with the man GC.

Wish I could read this but it's probably same-old B.S. writers shaking-stirring, and spitting out same old half truths.

Sorry Katiedot I know I'm one of the no. one offenders when it comes to going off topic, can't seem to stop myself from getting carried away.

Bowhunter you didn't offend me, that's what we all love about coming here we can disagree and there is no wars, finger-pointing or name calling just opinions-observations and when possible facts over fiction. Please stick around and play.

We agree to disagree. IMHO with this one its so different. I feel its because of her 2 scandals - coke/nightclub and the B Trial. These 2 issues are totally different and serious when it comes to one's reputation. LOL, yeah, I know, then why is he still with her? George is the only one who can answer that one.

Cindy appears to not want to be in the same picture frame with her. His friends don't seem to look happy when she's around. And now recently in the last 2-3 months. George doesn't seem to want to be papped with him. The bakery and dinner photos - IMHO - were done by fans with camera phones without George realizing. Not saying he's not dating her at the moment, just saying he's trying real hard not to be papped with her.

Laetval said the last scan was interesting. Does anyone know what it says?

Please, can someone translate?

You take a dictionary and you start learning alllllllllllll those words one by one and guess what, in due time Alibaba opens up !

So, one two three START ! 14 days should do the trick !

How many dictionary's should I buy , 1 in Italian,and 1 in French?

But it wazzzzzzzz a good song and as always G.C. noticed the camera !

Wonder why and what excuse he use's.

Already tried that Atalante, but thanks so much for your suggestion.

Bowhunter - no offense taken and welcome. Some of us started as lurkers until we got the courage to post. We disagree from time to time but that is makes it interesting and fun! Just keep an open mind or agree to disagree.

The site is run well, thanks Katiedot!
