Well, following the “debut” of George Clooney’s new official piece, Stacy Keibler, we now have multiple reports of how loved-up they were together in Toronto. So, this is how it went: Stacy and George arrive in Toronto together, there are multiple sightings of them hanging out, and even one photo of the two of them sipping champagne (that photo later got pulled under mysterious circumstances). Then Stacy isn’t invited to the pre-party for The Ides of March, but she is invited to the premiere, but she has to walk the red carpet solo, before George even gets there. Then, over the next few days, she gets her tenuous girlfriend roll-out as she and Clooney are spotted together in the same frame, in the same time and place, leaving one of the parties. And now we have insider dish on what Stacy and George were like inside the parties:
When George Clooney showed up at the Venice Film Festival sans Stacey Keibler, and a posse including Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, word was that his relationship with the former pro wrestler had faded. But Clooney and Keibler put rumors of a cooling-off to rest at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Clooney was spotted Saturday night with the blond bombshell on his arm, and the duo engaged in plentiful PDA. After Clooney’s film “The Descendants” screened, the two stopped by a Fox Searchlight and Vanity Fair fete, and then wound up at the Grey Goose and Soho House Pop-Up Lounge, a temporary club for the festival housed in an industrial space.
Spies saw Clooney “rubbing Keibler’s back” and “sharing a plate of food.” The couple hung with Bono, while Keira Knightley and boyfriend James Righton lounged on a nearby couch together. They were joined by Ryan Gosling, Anna Faris, Evan Rachel Wood, Jon Hamm and Kirsten Dunst as the night wore on.

E! News says that “they came together” to the Vanity Fair party for The Descendents, but “there wasn’t a ton of PDA because they were both doing their own thing, but she did come back to him every once in awhile…George and Stacey looked really happy and left together, as well.” Hm…interesting. She was off doing her own thing while Clooney did the glad-handing and such. Usually he likes his pieces close to him, and silent. Us Weekly has yet another version of Stacy’s “own thing”:
Stacy Keibler isn’t just George Clooney’s arm candy. The former wrestler, 31, attended two parties Saturday night in Toronto, Ontario with her new 50-year-old beau. First the duo hit up Fox Searchlight, Belvedere and Vanity Fair’s Toronto Film Festival bash, then ventured to the Grey Goose Soho House party. At both fetes, Keibler was perfectly comfortable with the Hollywood crowd.
“One of the recurring themes of the night was that Stacy had her own conversations going on and that she wasn’t following Clooney around like a puppy dog,” a source tells Us Weekly.
“They were comfortable and affectionate and seemed socially poised as a couple,” a witness tells Us. “The two clearly work not only as a pair, but also independently. [Stacy] really stood on her own. George was not overprotective and didn’t have to look after her.”
“She was confident in her own space,” adds the witness. “She would come over to [George] and rub his back, then separate from him again… I’ve never seen him more comfortable.”
Clooney split with his Italian actress/model girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis in late June — amid talk that she was anxious to marry and have a child, while he resented her attention-hogging habits.
Since their split, Canalis, 32, has found her way back into the spotlight as a contestant on season 13 of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.

You know what I find amusing? Stacy is being positioned as a genuine celebrity in her own right, like she knows all of the A-listers at the party, she’s friendly with them and she can go off and do her own thing because she’s just as famous and popular as George, and, like, everybody wants to meet the world-famous Stacy Keibler, right? Yeah… NO. If George wasn’t debuting her as his girlfriend, no one would give a crap. She wouldn’t have even been let into the party. I feel kind of bad for her – I feel like she’s forcing it? I also feel like the chick is busted. This weekend was one of the biggest nights of her life, her debut as George Clooney’s girlfriend, and this is how her makeup looks? This is how she dresses? This is her hair weave/rat’s nest ball? Busted.

ROOTS!
What is that on top of her head? It looks like a nest of some sort. I totally agree: Busted!
that thing on the top of her head looks like a tumble weave… but hey maybe she’s the pretty woman chick and really lucks out!
I heard they stayed a long time at the party… clearly long enough for a bird to build a nest on the back of her head?!!!
i haven’t laughed so hard seeing that hair close up since canalis’ leverage acting debut. thx. i needed it after yesterday..and may i add wtf is that????
Silly old queen.
Wow….that seriously looks like a robin’s nest on her head.
I almost feel bad for her, I mean does he give them a list of instructions before they get “rolled out”.
George just wants to know what a former wrestler can do in the sack.
She is definitely busted. That hairball is scaring me.
If I was at a party with George Clooney and The HammDong….no contest!!! Clooney can suck it.
I think George is a loser at dating.
I like him in a film, but his dating life is so shallow to me. No substance at all and I don’t find him sexually attractive due to that.
“….the blonde bombshell…” Who ARE these people? Attractive may even be too high of a compliment for her! Have no clue, though, what her personality is like. And that matters, too, but just stop acting like she is some gorgeous woman! IMHO anyway. 🙂
This is her A-game? Epic fail!
Part of me thinks that George orchestrated all that to really stick it to E. Canalis, to shake her off his life for good. It’s kind of cruel, really, since Stacey totally screams “ESCORT, fun but not smart” to me. Hollywood gossip and machinations will never cease to delight and astonish me.
Who told her that her hair looks good? Heads would be rolling if someone tried that on me!
My cats have barfed up better looking hairballs than that thing on her head. And who wrote that crap from Us Weekly? It sounds like it came out in the year 1955. I am so over Clooney, who is looking very much an old man and his interchangeable rent-a-pieces. Boring.
I agree with @Chris. Not buying this. This is probably to piss of Eli. Maybe she has a loathing/insecurity for tall leggy blondes? Don’t know, but while Kiebler has great legs this relationship does not. I give it a couple months.
And, yes, she looks busted. Girl, get a proper stylist to stand any chance.
Why is there a nest on her head?
“Tumble Weave” — LOL!
Oh wow!
her skull’s about to pop outta her head..she’s smiling so wide
Seriuosly, this is hilarious to me. I mean how pathetic is this woman? If she was really in, he would have hired a stylist for her. She was head to toe fug all weekend. How embarrassing, for her and the other guest who were A listers. What did she talk about? The art of the chokehold? I need an aspirin………
do you think gc kept a straight face when he got a good look at that monument a top her head? no wonder he looks like he’s trying to lose her..wait wait for me and my nest o’hairrrrrrrr!!
I will admit she has bad style, but I think she is really pretty
“You know what I find amusing? Stacy is being positioned as a genuine celebrity in her own right, like she knows all of the A-listers at the party, she’s friendly with them and she can go off and do her own thing because she’s just as famous and popular as George, and, like, everybody wants to meet the world-famous Stacy Keibler, right? Yeah… NO. If George wasn’t debuting her as his girlfriend, no one would give a crap.”
Exactly! Thank you, kaiser.
I think they are trying to make George not a controlling man. I cannot believe I am going to say this, but it seems Eli took the high road on this whole story. She was smart enough (what??!!) to say she thought cold and controlling men were better for her and she didn’t mention his name, ha!
cray cray is just that cray cray busted clingy and beyond delusional…
Jules: “My cats have barfed up better looking hairballs than that thing on her head.”
LOL!!!
I ‘m so tired of George’s dating game. It’s always the same story, he starts to parade them around on the red carpet, then they are pictured vacationing together, then she mets the familly and of course they love her, then they’re engagement rumours, then there is a denial of all this , then the GF’s interview stating she wants to get married and have kids , and finally they’re over because George is no marriage material.
This is wrong for so many reasons. That hair is horrible. Who let that poor girl go out looking like that?
Thanks Hibiscus!
Who “willingly and knowingly” would date this guy. He has a track record, who does he think he is? Ladies? Do you really wanted to be treated like second class with this guy? It’s as if he does the choosing, does anyone ever deny him? Good grief George is a pig.
He is such a bottom feeder…
That is the ugliest hair thing I have ever seen. It looks like it got shaken out of a tree or fell out the back of a farm truck and landed on her head. This is the best she could do for her first time to be photographed with the Clooney? Well, George isn’t known for his exquisite taste in women.
Big leap. Dancing with the Stars to hanging out with Keira, Ryan, Jon, etc? Girls is living it up. She was probably networking because she knows this won’t last long.
In a way she’s smart, but she’s a bit of a famewhore and I don’t think she knows her place. Elisabetta was a famewhore and look what happened. The Cloon doesn’t like that.
What a strange choice .. Clooney has the typical attitude of the male abandoned and angry .. want to prove that he does not care anything about the previous report and with a misplaced sense of timing, is indicative of his insecurity, he began a relationship with a girl so flashy and inappropriate, which leaves everyone puzzled
Clooney may have to change his strategy as neither of his films bowled anyone over. Even the LA Times who thinks he walks on water had to admit that most of the attention was about his personality and “personal life, ie Keibler”, which does not win oscars. Other A-listers actually got people to pay attention to their movies and their performances–Pitt, Gosling, Fassbender. George just failed on all accounts.
How do you get your hair to even look like that?
Please. Girl is getting paid to be his “girlfriend”. The end.
what we didn’t know was that earlier in the day Stacey had an audition for the role of Patsy Stone in a new Ab Fab prequel series.
What IS that thing on her head? Tumble weave indeed!
These freaking parties have been keeping us up all night long. It is starting to suck. Now, I just got hooked on MadMen while hiding from the TIFF this weekend and, just wow.
I may have to foray out in the city at night now that I know Hamm lives and breathes the same air as me. I’m hoping for a star studded night at Cirque so I don’t have to make an effort. They usually have a show where all the celebs are invited.
@Patata, I just glanced at your comment but your reference to Patsy caught my eye because she is the best! However, I initially thought that you said she auditioned for the Patsy role for the ORIGINAL series, hahahaha!
Right after DWTS, SK actually was the “it” girl for a brief amount of time. She was on a couple of shows (that didn’t last) as recurring guest stars. I can believe she knows a lot of those people.
I’ve always liked her because she seemed nice and down-to-earth. However, these pictures make her look like she’s trying too hard. What is it about Clooney that makes women act like that? I don’t get it.
That thing on top of her head…there are no words.
Clooney has been a very delusion because after two years a man can’t behavior like that…perhaps he is a good actor but not a serious man (he is 50 years old and not a child who needs always a new object to show)…
I have no idea who this busted broad is…
fake-asses! so if the stacy is 5’10 without heels how small is the cloon
George buys his women. Ew. Legitimising it with a (purported) contract simply clarifies exactly what it is. This puts him in the ugly category.
I think many people have grown tired of Clooney’s game. Either that or they see right through it. Remember?? George likes it rough. This woman will be able to deliver exactly what he wants. UGH!!
Oh…and I see absolutely no chemistry here whatsoever.
What’s up with all this were sharing a plate of food and i>rubbing her back nonsense?
They always write that about George and his new ladies. Is that tab speak for we actually have no idea what went on, but we have to mention George and his piece anyway, so we don’t incur Stan Rosenfield’s wrath?
He probably kept her at arms length cause that Tumble weed on top of her head scared the hell out of him. For a girlfriend roll out this screams FAIL. And for some reason I cannot stop laughing. He did everything possible to stay the hell away from her when he usually does show some emotion. Plus the fact that she stands a foot taller probably made him scared. ROFL. I think we should call her Keibler: Jolly Blonde Giant. OMG. He hasnt so much as touched that chick. The body language says it all. I think we need to pair him up with Naomi Campbell. Now thats a date for him. ROFL
He should have wait for a year and be alone…all that means he wasn’t fallen in love with his ex. I’m sorry for all these girls who believe in him ( at the beginning he is nice toward them but then without a real reason he dumps them…)I don’t like him anymore: an oscar actor must be an honest man.
I thought she was beautiful on DWTS – but she looks bad in all of these pictures. Maybe she just can’t dress herself?
How outdated is velvet turtleneck?
Yes, she is beautiful! But he can’t be justified for this!
I would say: poor girl!
Armchair analysis?
George Clooney is a misogynist. He hates women so he chooses women far below his social status. He likes to expose these unfortunate women to a life far far out of their reach. He uses that leverage to control them. They get comfortable with his fame, money and having the paps interested in them. He throws them a few bones to help them start careers and just when they think they bagged him…he dumps them cold and back into obscurity they go. Oh they try to stay relevant. Desperate to keep the special perks of fame but it is not to be. George knows and gets a sadistic thrill from it.
Can you imagine him with a Charlize or Angelina?
A while ago there was a blind about an actor liking it rough and had all these excuses about injuries. He was the No. 1 guess. So really, a former professional wrestler might just be it for him!
Thank you CanCan! I’ve been saying this forever about Clooney. I’m always surprised that his girlfriends are pulled apart and judged but he isn’t. There are more articles criticizing his girlfriends than there are of him. I find his behavior disgusting.
CanCan – I agree with your analysis. I also would like to add that these women are prohibited to talk about marriage which seems very archaic to me to not be able to express opinions. They certainly have to walk on egg shells around George to not say or do anything that would upset him.
What the heck is on her head? It looks like a wasps nest! But she dresses borderline stripperish always so I dont expect much. She has that stripper/blah everyday blond look.
@Nanea: I have known serial daters who basically act the same with every woman they’re with — hand-holding, sharing food, back rubbing, etc. It’s all just part of Clooney’s act. He does it with whatever woman he happens to be with.
The women probably think the affectionate gestures are due to real affection on his part. But really he’s just acting a role– probably just does it to lure the woman into thinking he really cares for her. As Canalis said, the guy’s got a heart of stone. I used to think it was cute for him to be the roving bachelor, but now it isn’t cute, it’s gross.
I like Stacy, so it pains me to read all these comments. She’s harmless.
I read another account of their night. I agree with that analysis. Stacy has been in LA for a long time. There’s nothing to say people don’t know her or like her for herself. She didn’t need George by her side to make her feel comfortable or to enjoy herself. And I’ll go one further…maybe George likes her for herself, bad hair/dress and all.
I am beginning to think that Clooney is going through a serious mid-life crisis. He hit 50 and seems to have lost his mind. He dumped canalis soon after their low-key birthday celebration then jumped right into that rat’s nest on the top of this woman’s head. His publicist is going hard and having People run almost daily articles about how wonderful she is and she might be, but it just smacks of a PR stunt and is kind of creepy.
Deep down, I think he envies Pitt and to a lesser extend Damon for having loving, stable relationships. Clooney has his entourage and young groupie instead and parties and drinks until daybreak to prove his youth and verility. His parents seem to have a great marriage and I think his father is classy, but George seems to be veering off for some reason. I think he does think it is the 50s and he is the re-incarnation of Sinatra.
Oh! Stacy got her “5 things to know” on People. She is now official.
He probably didn’t want to be seen with her because of that awful bun she has on her hair. It looks as if her worst enemy is doing her hair and picking her outfits.
gc looks tired in that bottom photo. if the oscar is his raison d’etre then he will stay on the hamster wheel forever. he has nothing to prove to anyone: he will never be irrelevant. he should stop worrying.
Stacy is really pretty. Really pretty. She just needs a stylist. I also think she seems pretty unaffected and genuine. I bet she’s likable. And hey, it’s George clooney asking you out. Wouldn’t you go?
The problem I am having, is, she is about a foot taller than he is, and he looks old, and as we say in the horse business, ridden hard and put away wet.
She has a 5 things to know on People.com. The rollout has begun folks.
George has always had a thing for Cindy Crawford. Eliz looked a great deal like her, the girl before who he bought implants for, those were based on Crawford’s.
This chick is just a way to let Eliz know it’s over. Done. Fini!! When will the girls learn you can’t talk about “how happy we are”. Pretty simple, be a quiet little beard & live the highlife.
Okay… George is slipping. He’s usually more dapper (crap suit…) and the new roll out looks like she rolled in a burr bush. They’re usually more polished when they hit the carpets and events.
I think even he’s over this one after another silliness.
Here’s the unenviable roundup… she looks more unhappy and guarded as you go through the slideshow:
http://www.usmagazine.com/celebritynews/photos/george-clooneys-girls-2009211/4868
Snappyfish – You are SO right on the money.
The articles about this non-relationship are based on Keibler’s press releases, therefore the articles are filled with lies. “Arrived together” = Keibler ran in behind him. “Left together” = Keibler followed him out when she saw he was leaving. No pics of them in the same car, because they weren’t together.
He reminds me of the Regency period aristocrats I have been obsessing about the past year. In these stories the men are rakes and have a string of mistresses/hookers until they are ready to be respectable and beget an heir, of course there are always some of them who never want to settle down. This is Clooney. Maybe he has issues but maybe he just wants to have a good time. Being married myself now, I can understand him never wanting to be married again, neither would I.
She needs some dignity. George Clooney is just a man, after all…and not even that special..and old. Course, these women who latch on to him really don’t have much going on for themselves. Ah well. To each her own.
When the film festivals and premieres begin, George brings out his suit that has a reminder note pinned to it that says “shine shoes and pick up accessory girlfriend for the season”.
The hair and the dress remind me of Goldie Hawn on “Laugh-In” TV show (1967-73). And laugh-in is what people are doing when they see Stacy. She is going to need very thick skin to get through this media attention arrangement.
The dark hair roots followed by the vertical indent/vein line down the middle of her forehead is very distracting. She should be smart enough to figure out not to add height with any hair style (ugly or not) on top of her head when she is dating a shorter man. George looks like a little old man walking with his young nurse.
How vastly different George’s PR image has changed in the last few years. Jokester Clooney has become his own joke. No more “he is such a great guy!” comments on all the blogs. Now it’s “WTF is up with George Clooney?!” He has no one to blame but himself.
Texas called and wants their Tumble Weave back.
Your right there is absolutely no chemistry between these two. I have had more chemistry with my gynecologist.
She looks like a blonde Paula Abdul in that last picture with the red lipstick.
This is why i get my hair cut and styled in Montreal…
in Toronto it’s just too hit or miss.
Yeah, why do GC’s women always get criticized and called famewhores, while he is the oh so dapper bachelor? I used to LOVE him but now I’m pissed. He’s just another misogynist with awful self-esteem issues, thus the controlling thing.
Lame.
At least Eli is keeping a low public profile and “working” her way up the ladder by her own means. Poor Sarah Larson :/
He deserves a woman of his same age. He is becoming ridiculous with all these young girls on red carpets.
This is going nowhere.
George is just a walking STD at this point.
I’ve never liked him but he gets more disgusting with each “new” relationship.
Stacy is too good for him IMO.
I’ve always thought she was beautiful … too bad about the penis vein on her botoxed forehead.
These women are adults. Im sure they know what they are getting into. Its not like the Clooney dating pattern hasnt been well documented. We and they probably know how its going to end.
The bun looks like it was made from Kate Gosselins left over hair.
Well she is an expert at the choke hold, George will like that.
All the people who claim these two are dating, I defy you to find a single photo in which George even looks at her. There is none. The only set of pics of them allegedly together has already been shown to have been Photoshopped.
If George were actually dating her, he would have looked at her at least once during TIFF, but he kept trying to avoid her. She apparently went up to Bono and introduced herself to him in order to get into a photo frame with Bono and George, but even then George didn’t look at her even once. Keibler kept following George to get into photo frames, and George kept ignoring her. George looked directly at Bono and at other people, but he completely ignored Keibler in every single photo, something that would not have been possible if he were actually involved with her.
Most people see through this nonsense, and most of the people claiming George is dating Keibler are Keibler’s publicity team.
isnt clooney known for his elaborate jokes. i wonder if he’s pulling one on the press with this stunt — getting everyone all worked up.
The thing is, I think George and Stacy were friends (or at least friendly) before this whole “DATING” thing. Maybe that’s why she’s so comfortable around him and his friends? She was recently on Chuck, How I Met Your Mother and Psych and I think she does the Oscar party rounds so she’s bound to bump into the same people over and over again. Somehow I don’t find this “relationship” weird at all. Maybe they’re just FWB?
Below is from ET’s website. They showed a photo of Clooney and Keibler hugging a couple of days ago on TV.
“While George Clooney spends his days working at The Toronto Film Festival (he’s promoting the new movie Ides of March), girlfriend Stacy Keibler ensures he finds time to unwind at night as the duo have spent the last two evenings laughing and relaxing at the Ritz-Carlton’s Deq lounge.
In fact, the duo partied so late Friday night they were spotted exiting the hotel, while holding hands, Saturday morning!”
http://www.etonline.com/news/114194_George_Clooney_and_Stacy_Keibler_Out_in_Toronto/
Layla: I agree with you.
My cats have barfed up better looking hairballs than that thing on her head.
****
Too funny!!!
thats sick that she is willing to comply with his media”chosen appearances” – he obviously has no respect for her and he can only date chicks who he can order around!
Sandra Bullock would be perfect but perhaps she is too intelligent for him…
It’s strange how dating GC is defining the quality of a woman. I didn’t know who she was before she started being associated with Giorgetto and she is already disgusting me…Maybe it’s because I realize there are women who accept to be treated like temporary mistresses in public only to spend a couple of years in luxury vacations and on red carpets, knowing it won’t last and they’ll be dumped like garbage within a couple of years. And they look so happy….
But what really surprises me is that George’s image is kept immaculate, he’s still considered a committed smart and kind person.
And what is not surprising me is that no decent, self standing and successful woman is willing to waste her time and her reputation with this guy.
BUDGET
@European citizen. Co-sign! He’s not only a misogynist but a chauvinistic hedonist as well.
He is beginning to become a caricature of himself. It’s not abt giving these women a shot at fame, its about controlling them.
An Angelina, Sandra or Charlize type would rip his ego to shreds!
I hope this is an elaborate joke!
George was closer to Bono than to Keibler, at whom he never even looked, so maybe George and Bono were “together.” Keibler was there on her own. She walked the red carpet alone because she wasn’t with George. She kept trying to get into photo frames with him, and he completely ignored her. She followed him into and out of parties, with George ignoring her the entire time. They arrived and left in separate cars because they weren’t together. Honestly, anyone who thinks these two are a couple is extremely gullible, as the only reason to think they are is by believing a bunch of press releases and publicity stunts from Keibler.
If he doesn’t want to marry why he continues to change girls?
Anyway it is strange that after only one month or two, after the end of his romance, he is happy, laughs with another person…without thinking that another person will suffer for all this. I Know (I am Italian) that Elisabetta believed to this story and it is evident she is sad…even if she is looking for starting a new life…
Oh, yes, we can all see how she’s hiding and suffering in the dark. Smiling and laughing at the cameras, what a misery.
If this is how you look when you are heartbroken, I am Mrs. Clooney.
And don’t tell she’s just acting, hahaha.
Elisabetta Canalis loved Clooney,
but he loves only himself
Oh, what a tragedy!
Too sad she couldn’t sell her big love instead of her naked body, she would be much more rich and famous by now, wouldn’t she?
Jasmin is Fat Z-lister Kirstie Allie.
Lorenzo is Clooney himself.
No lie!
Clooney lends his “Services” as a Billboard to expired wannabe struggling ugly hookers because he’s desperate to cover his own empty life & profit from the tabloid sales.
He’s shallow!!
No love. No woman.. Just ugly hookers arranged courtesy of Stan Rosenfield.
And they get publicity just before his film flop releases.
Watch the pattern over the past few years.
Why would I pay to watch a film of such a despicable individual?? A low life!
