Sarah Larson: I Would Have Ignored Clooney on a Reality Show
Originally posted 05/09/2008 01:20PM
Sarah Larson is not ashamed of her reality show past. But, the former Fear Factor contestant says if the tables were turned, she may not be dating George Clooney.
"If George had been on a reality show, I don't think I'd have talked to him," Larson says in the June issue of Harper's Bazaar. "It would have been like, 'That's nice.'"
Good thing it didn't deter him, though. "He still wants to date me, and I ate a scorpion," she says.

Originally posted 05/09/2008 12:50PM
With a new baby at home, Melissa Joan Hart says life has been crazy enough – and it'll only get more hectic when her musician husband hits the road.
"I'm not sure I can handle two babies on my own, unlike my sis who is super-mom," Hart, 32, who gave birth to son Braydon Hart Wilkerson in March, writes on her MySpace Celebrity blog.
The actress and husband Mark Wilkerson, 30, a Grammy-nominated musician, also have 2-year-old son Mason.
"We are adjusting nicely to being a family of four, although it is a tough job," says Hart. "It's about to get a lot tougher as Mark leaves on tour this week."
