What Elisabetta Canalis did next - part 2

I polished the article that Watching just sent. It's the old google translation that I decided to clean up a bit.

ENGLISH
Elisabetta Canalis remains in the U.S. I have other projects

Elizabeth does not leave, actually she is more charged than ever. Despite her elimination from " Dancing with the Stars " the American ABC talent show, Canalis has no plans to leave the United States to return to Italy.

At “Verissimo” (an Italian TV program), in the episode that will air tomorrow, Eli said: " For the moment I will stay in America. Although nothing is official, I have some interesting things that I'm evaluating. Now let's see what happens after the show is over, if it was just a nice experience for its own sake, or if it will bring in something else...''

The former velina speaking from from Los Angeles called "extraordinary" her experience at the Dancing with the Stars and confessed that at this moment she is making the rounds of all the talk shows.

Canalis has blamed her elimination to the votes from the public: " Obviously I did not have the fans that others have " .

" To the American journalists, I have always said: look, in Italy I am famous for not knowing how to dance, therefore, said Elizabeth - I'm happy and thankful for what I have accomplished . "

ITALIAN
Elisabetta non lascia, anzi raddoppia. La Canalis nonostante l'eliminazione da "Dancing with the Stars", talent show americano della Abc, non ha intenzione di lasciare gli Stati Uniti per fare ritorno in Italia.
A Verissimo, nella puntata che andrà in onda domani, Eli ha dichiarato: "Per il momento resto in America. Anche se non c'è niente di ufficiale, ho delle cose interessanti che sto valutando. Adesso vediamo cosa succede finito lo show, se è stata solo una bella esperienza fine a se stessa o mi porterà altro…''.
L'ex velina in collegamento da Los Angeles ha definito "straordinaria" l'esperienza fatta a Dancing with the Stars e ha confessato che in questo momento sta facendo il giro di tutti i talk show.
La Canalis ha motivato l'eliminazione allo spareggio con i voti del pubblico: "Ovviamente io non avevo i fan che hanno gli altri".
"Ai giornalisti, qui in America, ho sempre detto: guardate che in Italia sono famosa per non saper ballare. Quindi - ha concluso Elisabetta - sono felice e mi ritengo fortunata per quel che ho fatto".

translation
i have always said to the journalists that in Italy i am famous for not knowing how to dance

She is evaluating things, pretty sure she will take whatever is offered to her. Eli wants a career in the US and I wonder if she has worked out she has to start at the bottom and work her way up. I hope she isn't expecting all these great offers to come flooding in cause she will be in for a big surprise! The shop opens soon so she has that and I bet she is the model for all the designs nothing like creating a job for yourself. I don't think she is interesting enough for a reality tv show which is about the only thing that has come out of DWTS for others. I'm sure Italy will get over not having her around they seem to be coping pretty well. Eli may end up shooting herself in the foot she may not want work there now but in the future I bet she will but by then they may not want her! I think we will start seeing her date someone.....

I saw the access hollywood interview she said that in Italy her talent-job was to be hot! That she can't dance, etc. Finally she tells the truth!!!

Oh my. One day she may learn not to lie. I said may.

From sf gate

30 Sept 2011

George Clooney’s ex-girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis has finally come clean about the covered-up Eminem tattoo on her arm.

The Italian TV host made an appearance on TV show “Access Hollywood Live” on Thursday and turned coy when she was asked about her body art.

Insisting she didn’t have a tattoo tribute to the rapper, as has been reported, she initially refused to let host Billy Bush check out the ink on her right bicep close up, but when he persisted she held out her arm, stating, “It’s roses…” But Bush was more interested in what the floral design covered up.

He read, “E-M-I-N-E-M,” prompting his red-faced guest to own up to a youthful mistake.

She said, “OK, I was 21 and I wanted to do exactly the same tattoo that this singer had, because you’re a little bit dumb maybe sometimes at 21 and I did it, but I covered it.”

I don't know why she bothered lying that story has been around for ages and it is easy to prove. She should have just owned up and laughed it off and not made a big deal out of it.

Looks like the store will have more than just Italian designers in it. From Val's twitter:

So it's Val's showroom then? Not Betty's?

This should be the video with the tattoo debacle:

And this should be the video where she denies sending George texts:

Maybe Val may be the brains of the business, Betty is the public figure who can get attention? Val's twitter use to say that she would be the CEO of the business. Maybe Betty is just investing and part of her contribution to the business is getting press attention. Betty gives interviews, Val doesn't. Maybe they hoped DWTS would give Betty name recognition in the States (or at least LA) that would then benefit the business. Although, I would think Val's roladex of contacts would be reasonably impressive to garner attention for the opening at least. She was just vacationing with Bar Refaeli.

Didn't Eli talk about what an independent and strong women she was?

All women do. I think it's the fashion at the moment.

Sorry, I'm on my anti-assumption horse at the moment. We've actually got not idea at all why Eli stopped tweeting. It could just as easily have been she realised that she was crap at it. As far as I know, she didn't close her account, she just made it private for a while.

Stacy's been tweeting for a while and it's one of her main communication methods with her fan base. No way on earth she'd stop tweeting and it would be wrong to ask her to stop.

I would guess, and yes it's just a guess, that the understanding is that she doesn't mention George in her tweets and then everything's ok.

Sounds like a valid conclusion. After all, all assumptions do is "make and ass out of you and me".

@ Katie...Betty shut down her twitter account or it went "private" when she had the unfortunate impulse to retweet something nasty about Jennifer Aniston and it turned into a media nightmare for all concerned. That was the end of her tweeting days during the rest of their relationship, so it's not a huge leap to figure that Stan and/or George shut it down. Don't forget that Jennifer was a good friend of George's, in the past anyway, so I don't think it's a big leap to assume his input had something to do with her abrupt and immediate end on twitter.

And of course no two people see everything the same but in my opinion, Stacy is "implying" things and she knows very well what conclusion people are jumping to when they read some of her more mysteriously worded tweets...let's be honest here, the girl is playing word games. Not saying that she doesn't have the right to do it but let's be honest here...she's playing with the fans or whoever is following her tweets and much is implied and it's as transparent as my computer screen.

Could be, could be. We, each and every one of us, would probably do the same of our significant other took exception to something malicious that we, tweeted, facebooked, said in public or spread in any like manner. An apology just doesn't usually cut it as the harm is done. If we gossip and cause harm or embarassment in a public manner, we would expect to be "shut down" when our SO became insensed.

Lighterside wrote:@ Katie...Betty shut down her twitter account or it went "private" when she had the unfortunate impulse to retweet something nasty about Jennifer Aniston

But that's the thing; she didn't. She retweeted something that was both funny AND true. And it became a big media mess which is enough to make anyone who's not that wild about tweeting stop. That's not the same as saying she was told to stop and I think we are making too big a leap here.

George generally just doesn't seem to give a shit about what his girlfriends say or do, what they wear, how they spend their free time, who they hang out with etc etc. We've seen this over and over again. He can't even be bothered to turn up for runway debuts or other big moments in these women's lives. Hell, he barely even takes them out on a date more than once a month or so.

The only time we see any sort of involvement is when it directly affects him, such as if a girlfriend tweets or talks about him too much, revealing more about himself than he wants known.

I agree that if Stacy isn't tweeting about her relationship with George then she's an idiot because the whole world will read it that way.

Chez Jimmy Kimmel How many talkshows do you have over there, over the ocean ?

Too many. All the major networks have them in the morning, some have them in the afternoon and all have them again in "late night" usually starting after 11:00 pm.

Thanks Katie for the video. This is the first time I've heard her mention G's name in response to the breakup question. She seems so nervous and humble now.

Well to be fair you don't actually know what George says or does in his personal relationships anymore than any of the the rest of us so I'll just say that in my opinion, it would make sense to me that George would say something if it made HIS representation's (Stan) job more difficult and that retweet surely caused some headaches and I don't have to be an insider to figure that one out, it's plain old common sense.

[quote="Katiedot"]George generally just doesn't seem to give a shit about what his girlfriends say or do, what they wear, how they spend their free time, who they hang out with etc etc. [quote]

Well then, my life aspiration is to be a girlfriend of George. Think of it, I could do anything I want and he wouldn'tgive a shit. It desn't get much better than that.

OMP!!!! Elisabetta is ENGAGED!!!!!!

Spoiler:

EC tweeted or re-tweeted that nasty (IMO) comment about Aniston, and within about 48 hours, it became a 'thing' in the media, and zap, she said her goodbye on her Twitter page and she was gone, or she went private, or whatever. But her Twitter page, as it existed then, stopped. Or rather, was stopped. And it was obvious that George shut it down. I agree that he doesn't care or get involved in his lady friends' stuff. But the Aniston thing was embarrassing to him, because she was ridiculing a fellow celebrity friend of his. Until that incident, she was happily tweeting away about spaghetti sauce and getting her driver's license and he couldn't care any less than he appears to care. But the Aniston thing went too far, and he put a stop to it. That was clear. She even said goodbye on her Twitter page.

LOL Makes you just want to throw up a little. Shane Warne is probably one of the ickiest, slimy and cheating men around and this is going to end very badly for Liz! But then she is used to cheaters so maybe she doesn't care. At least it keeps him out of Australia although his 3 children would probably prefer to see him more!

@Lighter and Casey - that's EXACTLY the way I remember it. I too fully "understood" that George and/or Stan put an end to EC's twittering specifically because she, by way of her re-tweet (and I think some comment about it, however short) made fun of one of George's friends who also happens to be a big Hollywood star.

Was it before or after she was shut down, that she offered those obviously fake apologies about not knowing that she was re-tweeting a nasty tweet? I say apologies, but did she actually apologize, or were the "I didn't know what I was doing" bleetings in place of an apology?

And, if I'm remembering right, didn't she tweet about a wonderful Sunday BBQ? Then she had the fake apologies "I didn't know about re-tweeting". Then her Twitter went private.

In this video she speaks with a hoarse voice and is also holding what looks like a wrap/blanket, then this morning she twitted that she had spent the night with Mr. Tylenol Cold, so I think she really caught a cold.

Charley, it was in the middle of this brouhaha, right before her twitter was shut down, that it was leaked to Eonline that she didn't understand what she was re-tweeted, and pretty much hinted that her lack of English was to blame. IE, she didn't know what she re-tweeting and she didn't know what re-tweeting was. She tweeted herself, the day before it was shut down, that she would never say anything negative about Aniston, that she was just re-tweeting (ie, it was someone else's fault). Then, the story continued for another day, and then George nipped it in the bud.

Betty - the pigeon rescuer. From her twitter (for for info - @Chomatic is the PETA twitter person)

Pigeons are hard they can seem alright but die of shock during the night. We rescued birds from out cats all the time when we were kids including a pigeon we named ours Mr Pidgeon he survived and once he was healed was set free. He came back for food and bought more and more friends with him each time. LOL MY mum was not impressed about that bit.

Yes she did "hint" that she didn't know what re-tweeting was, but before she was shut down didn't quite a few people take a look through her tweets and find that she had done her fair share of re-tweeting in the past? She hides behind this "lack of English language skills" for quite a few things that just plain good manners would suffice. Maybe her quick exit from DWTS was due in fairly equal parts to not having a fan-base in US, the Kardashians fans voting against her and, the Aniston fans also voting against her.

We've all noted her flip-flops about every other subject there is to talk about, but the Aniston episode was pretty nearly the worst because all her attempts to explain herself, lacked anything that seemed remotely like a genuine, sincere apology.

The twitter of Aniston looked like Iggy Pop was really Alessandro Cattelan, a presenter and comedian who makes fun of everyone. In a television Elisanetta Cattelan and talked about it and she jokingly said, because of you I changed my twitter account and I risked a lynching.

Just have to say about the language-problem:
You can choose the language in which Twitter is shown to you and Italian is also available......

And who said anything about language problems! Reetwitter no translation if you do not know twitter!

Yeah, that excuse that she didn't understand was bullshit. If she hadn't understood the tweet why would she have retweeted it? It was only funny if you could understand it.

BTW, the tweet was that Iggy Pop looked like Jennifer Aniston, not that Jennifer A looked like Iggy Pop.

How did we go from Stacey's Latest Tweet to Eli's Twitter account and her retweeting? Doesn't EC have her own threads?

That can be her new profession! Pigeon Lady!

She'd better be careful of her 2 dogs. Pigeons are disease carriers and could cause the dogs problems. Hate to see her lose one of her dogs because of a stray pigeon. What about the Humane Society? They should take care of it. Was it even a stray? Maybe it belonged to someone. I'm sure there are pigeon fanciers in LA, too.

I'm sorry Patty and well spotted. I'll move this part of the convo over to the Betty thread.

Yes, remember the interview in Italy with Simona Ventura asking her about the incident of the twitting and Alessandro Cattelan got up from the audience and said that he had done the twitting and she had retwitted what he had said without realizing that the whole world would read it.

I'll try to reply to all three of you in one go to explain why I don't think Betty's twitter was shut down because she was ordered to by George (or Stan).

Firstly, all three of you have misremembered one thing: it wasn't Jennifer Aniston who was insulted; it was Iggy Pop. Betty tweeted that on a cover of a magazine, Iggy Pop looked like Aniston (which he did).

It was a slow media news day and this got a lot of press coverage, but I don't think it would have given George or his team any headaches. Why would it? He didn't agree with it, didn't authorise it or approve that statement. Having your girlfriend called an escort (as the LA Times said about Sarah Larson), or being a porn actress (Krista Allen) or implicated in a drugs and prostitution scandal (as Betty is) are headaches for George but not one silly tweet that was blown up in the media out of all proportion and didn't upset either Aniston or Iggy Pop.

Jennifer Aniston isn't a close personal friend of George's any more than Iggy Pop is.

And George doesn't have any issues with upsetting celebs who he doesn't like (eg: Jack Abramoff) even if they are friends of his family (eg: Charlton Heston) so I don't think a twitter dig is really going to have him up all night.

That the stupid tweet and the closure of her account are linked is obvious to me too. I do believe that was what I call an ohshit moment for team Betty where someone in her camp realised this isn't a good move for their client but I don't think it was Stan.

I think it just comes down to how you think of George. I just don't think he's so controlling, self-interested or just plain neurotic to worry about what his girlfriend tweets. He really doesn't seem to mind what impact his girlfriends have on his image so that one tweet wouldn't have provoked the action you think it did. That's why I don't think she was made to shut down her twitter account by George. She shut it down because of the Iggy Pop tweet, yes, but not because she was ordered to by George.

Ok, Katie, we'll agree to disagree on this one. LOL But, if I'm misremembering, then so are you, since everyone's memory is his own.

No need to check our memories, nothing dies in cyberspace! This is what she tweeted:

Translation: “I’m flipping through the new Rolling Stone. Iggy Pop on the cover is the double of Jennifer Aniston.”

no i don't agree with u katiedot!!!

Thanks Katie for the truth. I believe that the account has closed the Ely realized after I did a shit! If George and Stan had the obligation to close would not have closed (Ely does not have a submissive character)!

A day in the life of Betty (i.e more shopping this time at Armani). In one of the pictures at the front of the rack, is a jacket with fur trim. She might not be buying the item with fur but she is choosing to financially support a designer who uses fur in his collection. Does that not go against the point of doing the PETA campaign?

I do love that the the pap was physically in the store with her taking her "candids" - tipped off much? How very Leann Rimes of her.

Elisabetta Canalis spotted shopping at Armani Exchange

After getting voted off Dancing with the Stars, Italian beauty Elisabetta Canalis had a little shopping therapy at Armanic Exchange in the Sunset Plaza in Los Angeles. What did George Clooney’s ex-girlfriend buy? Find out below!

Elisabetta’s Armani Exchange purchases included a faux leather mini dress ($98) and a graphic wrap cardigan ($39).

Wow this reminds me off Stacy and her shoe shopping! Maybe Eli thought she wouldn't have to pay. Not exactly plugging her new shop is she? You would think she could have lots of freebies but then they aren't known designers are they.

what is armani exchange?
the fur seems very fake
