Sarah Larson: I Would Have Ignored Clooney on a Reality Show

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.

But, oops, the information winds up with Pitt and Francis McDormand's characters.

From cocktail waitress to A-list girlfriend – Sarah Larson is living the dream.

Fashion Police Investigate George Clooney Fraud

Originally posted 04/10/2008 01:00PM

George Clooney wears many hats – actor, director, peace activist and general heartthrob – but fashion designer is not one of them.

However, two people are being investigated in Milan for allegedly attempting to launch a clothing line under the name of the former PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive. Police there seized clothing, watches and fake documents connected to the faux fashion line on Wednesday. The investigation was launched due to a complaint from Clooney.

"In the past, one of these people rented out entire hotels claiming that I would be presenting my new fashion line. But of course it is not true," Clooney, 46, said at a Leatherheads press conference in Rome on Wednesday.

George Clooney kept his feet on the ground when he was named PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive – twice! But his 2005 Oscar triumph for Syriana went straight to his head.

"It makes me much harder to live with," the Best Supporting Actor winner told Britain's morning chat-fest, GMTV, on Wednesday.

In fact, the 46-year old admits he often lords his big win over Oscar-less pal Brad Pitt.

"That's what I enjoy doing with Brad – is gloating," Clooney joked.

Are George Clooney and Brad Pitt Having a 'Bromance'?

Originally posted 04/03/2008 12:40PM



George Clooney has just been too public with his current personal relationship – so much so, that Meredith Vieira confronted a slightly unnerved Clooney about it after he discussed his new movie Leatherheads on Thursday's Today show. No, Vieira wasn't referring to Clooney and gal pal Sarah Larson, but, as the televised photos of the couple together showed, Clooney and Brad Pitt. Clooney, who never unfolded his arms, said the tone of Vieira's voice tipped him off to what she was going to say, though, when asked if, indeed, the two are having a "bromance," Clooney would only concede that pal Pitt is "very handsome." As for the rumor that he's to be named godfather of Pitt and Angelina Jolie's children, Clooney answered, "No, but I do enjoy hearing it."

In a new interview with the U.K. edition of Marie Claire, the pair – who costar together in the new movie Leatherheads – have a good laugh about their views on marriage.

"We've both been very successful at it," Clooney joked. (He's divorced, and Zellweger annulled her marriage to Kenny Chesney after four months).
