George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis Split

Okay, so, now what? Or maybe the question should be, "now who?" Everyone knew it was going to happen and it finally did. George Clooney and his lovely Italian babe, Elisabetta Canalis, split up.

I realize it's not totally shocking. That's the thing with anyone who gets involved with George Clooney. You know it's going to end eventually. It's just a question of when.

But, there is a pattern with George's women, in case you haven't noticed. The ones who don't say anything to the press like, Lisa Snowden, Celine Balitran or Krista Allen, usually last about four to five years. Those who speak to the press, or become too confident in their status as "Sort-of-Mrs.-George-Clooney" usually last about two years. That is, if you're one of the lucky ones.

That was the expiration date for his last Elisabetta-look-alike, Sarah Larson. Sarah, if you remember, opened her mouth wide to the press making comments about what she would or would not tolerate in a relationship. You know, kind of like Elisabetta did recently? Within eight weeks, Sarah was a goner. Ditto with Elisabetta.

I'm rather up to my eye-balls with George Clooney anyway. I've never really found him that swoon worthy and in case if you haven't heard many interviews with him, well, he's not exactly the brightest bulb in the box. Trust me on that one.

George Clooney is just a local Kentucky boy who was lucky enough to have a famous jazz singer for an aunt, and a father who has achieved some measure of success in television and radio. But, at least he's straight up about what he's all about. You have to give him credit for that, I suppose. I just wonder how many more women are going to take time out of their life to hook their wagon to Clooney, in hopes that they just might finally be the one.

Annette Bening tamed another notorious man-whore, Warren Beatty, married him and now has four children with him. Obviously, it can be done. Speaking of hot. Just so you know, Warren Beatty was SMOKIN' in his younger years. Trust me on that too.

Perhaps like Warren, George will reach a certain age, I don't know, say 50-something, and realize that his sperm count is low and can't swim upstream with the same muster they used to and decide to settle down.

Men can do that, you know, but, women? Not so much. It's an unfair biological fact which does nothing to quell the burning fires of feminist sexism in the hearts of women everywhere. But, what are you going to do? Those are the facts, like them or not.

Maybe those of us who have gotten old enough to realize that good health insurance and a retirement plan is much more reliable, can make a few bucks on some well placed bets over which Hollywood ingénue will be the next in line to fall.

See? There's a silver lining in every cloud, now isn't there?
