George Clooney's recent ex, French model Celine Balitran, and new beau Rainer Negri, according to spies at New York's Daily News. The tabloid reports Balitran (who broke up with the "ER" hunk because he wasn't ready to commit, Clooney himself told Esquire) showed up at the Manhattan nightclub Joy the other night "holding hands and cuddling" with the blond Negri.
