Elisabetta Canalis, the model/actor has dominated the headlines in the entertainment world today. Who is she and why is there so much attention surrounding her? Well, she is reported to be George Clooney’s new girlfriend.

Many of you won’t care and others will find it interesting, but everyone can acknowledge and appreciate her astonishing beauty. The Italian was born the 12^th of September in 1978 in Sassari, Sardinia, making her 17 years younger than the superstar actor.

Canalis has made a name for herself in Italian television as well as having minor roles in Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo and Virgin Territory. Currently she is the new co-host for the Italian version of Total Request Live.

The couple were seen vacationing at Clooney’s Lake Como villa enjoying the stunning sights of the lake and mountains. Clooney is in Venice to promote his new comedy, The Men who Stare at Goats.

Based on the book by Jon Ronson,  Clooney plays Lyn Cassady, a man that claims to be a former member of a special unit that employs paranormal powers in their missions. It is set to release November 6, 2009. Clooney stars along with Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges, and Kevin Spacey.

The film takes place in Iraq and follows Bob Wilton, played by McGregor, a reporter who attempts to expose the story of Lyn Cassady and the secret paranormal Army sector that was re-activated after September 11th. Slated as a comedy, it could prove to be an interesting film.  But for today, the film is not what’s making headlines; it’s George Clooney’s relationship.

Over the years, George Clooney has become the unofficial bachelor of Hollywood. He’s reportedly been in over 20 celebrity relationships, none of which amounting to much. He was married briefly to actress Talia Balsam from 1989 – 1992.

So, what to make of this relationship? Probably just another fling to add to his list. But who can judge? They make a very attractive couple.
