You know when it’s time to rethink your life choices? When someone from Jackass dumps you for being too hardcore. This is what has just happened to everybody’s favorite Italian party girl/escort Elisabetta Canalis. After she was dumped by George Clooney, she started dating Mehcad Brooks. Then Eli and Mehcad broke up last December after an alleged fight about a purse (for real). And then Eli moved on Steve-O, best known as “that crazy dude from Jackass… no, the other crazy dude.” Steve-O just dumped her. OUCH.
Italian beauty Elisabetta Canalis really is unlucky in love.
Following hot on the heels of her high profile break-up from ladies man George Clooney, the Dancing with the Stars alum is once again nursing a broken heart — this time following a split from Jackass star Steve-O, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
RadarOnline.com was first to report back in January that the unlikely couple was hooking up, and now we can report all the details on their split.
“Steve-O dumped Elisbetta over her partying,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. “He is extremely serious about his sobriety and did not want to be dating anyone who could jeopardize that.
“He still really cares about her but can’t risk relapsing back into his old ways, so he had to cut her loose. He has hooked her up with some women that he knows to help her try and get back on a stable footing again, and she has been attending meetings.
“Steve-O said he thinks she’s committed to getting control of her life again and that he will help her do that, he wants her to control the partying for her own sake. But, in the meantime he needs to distance himself from her.”
[From Radar]
Poor Elisabetta. After Clooney dumped her, she stuck around Hollywood, trying to make a career “happen” in America. She got Dancing With the Stars and she was the first one eliminated. She tried bearding for lesser celebrities (allegedly). She tried to get work… but it’s just not happening without Clooney’s influence. When Steve-O – of all people – is like, “Girl, we need to stop. You’re too hardcore,” that’s when you know it’s time to just pack it up. Elisabetta had a decent career in Italy – she should just go back home and settle in.
Stacy Keibler, this is your future. The George Clooney Ex-Girlfriend Retirement Plan is pretty awful.

embarassing… stacy better saver her pennies.
I do not get Clooney’s appeal. Sure, he can look handsome when he stays in shape and takes care of himself. But the minute he lets go of the regimen, he turns into a puffy, pudgy schlub.
I find it so utterly unappetizing that he thinks we are all idiots and will just swallow his charades with the girlfriends without a single raised eyebrow. Isn’t it amazing that throughout most of his life and career he stayed single, ‘a proud bachelor’ (yes, I do consider his ‘first marriage’ which he always trots out as the ‘oh, STFU’, to be his first deception), a ‘man without a need for a female partner’, but yet the moment he hit it really big – boom, suddenly he is now parading ‘girlfriends’ around?
Before Sarah Larson, there was no mention of George’s dating life in tabloids, he was considered ‘private’ and too classy to trot the girls out like cows. But the moment he became a huge star, all his PR people went bonkers with ‘you HAVE TO have a girlfriend’. Since then, it’s become an almost uninterrupted string of temporary girlfriends traipsing around his italian villa.
It is so transparent, so ridiculous, so offensive how he tries to shove them in our faces just so nobody has an excuse to voice a doubt or a comment.
George, we all know what’s going on. We all know they are your employees. It must be EXHAUSTING to constantly live in deception and fear of exposure.
Most of us do not care about your persuasion – just stop treating us like morons. Be your own self, stop trying to please the fans. We see thru the games, the escorts, the ‘oops, again foisted just before the altar’….
You are ridiculous, and the women who enable your games, well, they are simply fame ‘hos so we can’t expect too much from them.
Let it go. People are only trying to figure out the truth because they know you are hiding it. Stop hiding and probably nobody will care.
Well said.
That’s not true at all. There were numerous girlfriends before Larson, whom he dated rather publicly – Celine Balitran and Lisa Snowdon come to mind, not to forget Krista Allen. It’s just that he himself wasn’t such a high power player back then, so not everyone paid attention to what was going on in his bedroom.
I agree with you. George is taking Stacy to the White House Correspondence Dinner next week, I can’t believe behind his back,people will be mocking him/ her. She is already on twitter talking about what she is going to wear and her work outs to get in her dress,very pathetic. I can see the conversation between Stacy and NPR reporter at the dinner. What do you do? Stacy “I am a ex-wrestler and I like to escort George around.” What do you do. Reporter “I cover the war in the Middle East.”
she looks like the female version of Steve-O.
Somehow i like Keibler a lot more than Canalis
I like Kiebler a lot more too. I don’t think she’s the same type of fame-whore as Elisabetta and doubt she will treat her post-Clooney days in the same manner.
Please. Keibler is every bit as much a shameless famewhore. Have you not seen the videos of her giving lap dances? Besides, anyone who signs a contract to be a publicity escort, which both Canalis and Keibler did, is a famewhore.
That’s hilarious! Let’s see, who is next? Jon Gosselin? lol
Oh my gosh LindyLou, that was hilarious!! HAHAHA! First when I read this I was like Steve-O? That gross guy that ate and did nasty things? That’s completely dating out of your “sector”–strange. I would die if it came to pass she dates Gosselin! HA! Totally get the point!
I don’t think Jon Gosselin would be interested.
Oh, it’s a sad, sad day, when you get dumped by Steve O. LMFAO!!!!
If you get dumped by Steve-O because of too much alcohol, you know you have a serious drinking problem 😉
I’m going out on a limb here, but I think the kind of “partying” they’re talking about is more than just alcohol.
He is sober now, so it isn’t a really big surprise that he wants to be with someone who doesn’t put that at risk.
Yep.
When someone who WILLINGLY pierces his buttcheeks together on camera decides you aren’t good enough, life is pretty low.
And shoots bottle rockets out of his ass.
Oh dear – you forgot that he has small penis tattoos. Fail. That would be a deal killer for me, first off.
@gg
Wait. Are there tattoos of small penises or are there tattoos on his small penis?
She needs to give up on the Hollywood scene. I think Keibler is handling her business with all of her appearance fees and will be fine once the contract ends.
This question is for all of the people that allege that George Clooney has been in contractual agreements with basically low to none talented prostitutes masquerading as girlfriends for years…almost universally you all blame it on his head PR person…and you state that George is getting nothing out of this except an opportunity to contact STDs… my question is what is this PR person holding over his head/blackmail (i.e. beating up a hooker in Mexico, sodomy pictures with a man, murder) in order to make him cooperate?
That’s a famewhore’s worst nightmare!
You know, Stacy just does not rub me the wrong way. There was always a skeezy, low class vibe with Elisabetta. Her dating turn of events are really not all that shocking.
You can only go down from George! No one will be as good.
While that’s true, this isn’t taking just a step down. This is more like:
“Oh, there’s no more Dom Perignon? Okay, well then I’ll just drink this Listerine. It’s name-brand, at least.”
😆
From “a step down” to freefalling into the Grand Canyon.
LOL!!!!! Dom to Listerine 🙂
I do feel sorry for her. I always seem to root for the underdog though.
I live in Vegas with my bf. He works security in the same hotel/bar/club where Sarah Larson was snapped up by Clooney. Post break-up, she tried to make a modeling career happen but that failed. She is now back as a VIP waitress at the same club. I see her working sometimes when I go visit the bf. She looks perpetually miserable. The Clooney Girlfriend Retirement Plan has very poor benefits.
There is a huge article I think I’n the NY Post I think it was last tear. Sarah Larson was the biggest feature, but all of his gals were features and it was about the curse of being his girlfriend and the big letdown afterwards.
I’m not a fan of Clooney. He never did it for me (way too smug) and always seemed to be hiding alot.
Your story though, makes me really sad for Larson. Again, I really had no opinion of her, but the letdown from that lifestyle has to be difficult. And I’m sincerely not trying to sound mean, but when you really don’t have many marketable working skills (and I mean legit working skills, not Clooney-type “working” skills), you realize that life is long and your going to have to figure out another way to support yourself. It’s sad. I don’t envy these girls, b/c no matter how amazing their short time in the spotlight was, there is a steep price to pay for it later.
Yeah, I feel kind of bad for her too. She seemed the least famewhorish out of all of them.
The story about her I’n rhe post was sad. She hates continually being asked about George and is embarrassed when waiting on people they recognize her. Her dream is to open a yoga studio, but she has been saying that for years but still a cocktail waitress.
I feel bad for her 🙁 do u think she is like a tourist attraction and people go there just to see her??
Makes you wonder what George says to these girls at the start of the arrangement…either he’s promising something more than what he ultimately gives, or the girls are naive to think they’ll be the one to catch him permanently. Do they really think they’ll get the house, career etc out of this? There’d be a massive power imbalance between he and a “partner”…maybe he does this on purpose.
And this comes from someone who used to bartend and VIP host:
The reason the George Clooney retirement plan doesn’t work is because these girls try to get more acting, modeling or appearance work afterwards.
If they had serious ambition to open their own business (for example) maybe they should have asked for that on the way out instead of a new pair of boobs.
No, if your going to get anything you have to ask for it right up front in the beginning. men never give a damn thing at the end of any relationship…..except, simon cowell, now HE is one class act. But men like him are a rarity. Personally, I am so sick and tired of george clooney using these women and then discarding them like used tissues I would really love it if someone blew his cover. Enough already. I totally feel bad for the women. He is rich and pwerful and abusing his station in life.
I would love to date George Clooney just for the hush money.
You’d be better off dating Simon Cowell for the free house!
For shizz, his last two “girlfriends” have each walked off with about $1m in cash and $6m in real estate.
Was thinking the same as i read the story and comments. It doesn’t seem as though Goerge takes care of his girls whereas Simon does.
And Simon is a lot easier to meet than Goerge, and you don’t have to put in the years!
She didn’t have any career in Italy. She used to make decent money being a sort of Italian Kardashian but anyone can say this really means having a career?
Some years ago I read a Clooney interview and basically he was saying he was looking for an Italian girlfriend beause he likes Italian women’s style. And then, months later, among all the classy smart and gorgeous ladies he certainly met, he did pick this one, the tackiest girl around?
Doesn’t it speak volumes about him as a person?
I agree ~ It DOES say a lot about him imo. I still can’t believe he dates a wrestler….
I agree, too. I really don’t think he has a lot of respect for women. They are disposable to him in every way. Yes, they know this going in, but they have feelings, too. Good gawd, I can’t believe I’m writing this. 🙂
You’re quite right, Elisabetta didn’t have a lot to do after her job in a satirical show, just some works as a model.
By the way, this news… is not so new. Here in Italy we have known about the end of her story with Steve-O since… two or three week at least.
Yes at least a month i think.. i was hoping steve O would have taken her far far far away…but i was deluded!
@Paola But magazines sold us a different story: she dumped him because he was a little too crazy for her. Don’t know where the truth is, but honestly I don’t care.
@anait
I think what men see in her is just kinky sex and a nice body, sorry but apart from that she has nothing else..i guess after a while they all got bored.
she would never dare to dump some american celebrity, but you know the italian gossip is very patriottic so they all said she dumped him. I believe it was the other way around.
I think as part of her severance package, she got a guest role on TNT’s ‘Leverage’ for one season (really more like a total of 20 min screen time, at the most). Even though the show is kind of silly, of the ‘tongue-in-cheek’ groove, it is really fun. She singlehandedly ruined that whole season for me. Her acting is sooooooo wooooden it is impossible to even describe it properly. Her voice is raspy, coarse, but not in a sexy, ‘come hither’ way, but in a cigarette-burned, vodka-drowned way. And her accent when speaking English – dear God! It was atrocious!
She is a horrendous, no talent hack, who tried to build herself an american following on the back of her ‘relationship’ with Clooney. The way she was being advertised for the show that season, it sounded like she was one of the biggest TV stars in Italy. After watching her first episode, all I could think of was ‘Sophia Loren, down to this ho? Did you go nuts, Italy?’
Apparently, Italy must have been sold the exact same but opposite bill of goods on her we were.
I guess her next ‘romantic escapade’ will be some fat, ugly, vodka smelling Russian oligarch. There is only one direction to go after being dumped by a Stev-O, and it ain’t up!
O(h) no!! As if dating a Jackass in the first place isn’t sad enough, being dumped by one for all the world to see must be humiliating! I actually feel sorry for her. She was clueless and harmless on Clooney’s arm.
p.s. OMG. Is there really a dripping p3nis on that man’s arm? How disgusting!
Oh, geez! Thanks, very f-ing much! I was blissfully unaware (subconsciously blinded) of what that tattoo really was. But the moment I read your comment, like a good little idiot you just have to scroll back up and make sure, because it is simply not possible to have missed it before, right?
Great! Now I have to go and not only puke my dinner out, but also bleach both my eyes and my brain..
Thanks a bunch 😉
Ok, enough with the Canalis bitch! In italy you can’t even turn the tv on without seeing her, she is friggin everywhere!! can we send her on the moon? please i need not to see her for a while, she really gets on my nerves.
she keeps refusing with every cell of her body how to dance, sing, speak or even just learn some english words. i can’t believe she dated american guys for quite some time and she didn’t learn anything!!! she’s been taught how to dance for 10 years, but nothing..her body refuses to learn!
Well if he is serious about staying sober than good for him! Sounds like he made the right choice.
Agreed! The Butler should take a lesson from this guy and find some people who actually care about his sobriety too…
I agree too… good for him! He seems like a pretty nice guy when he’s not being a “Jackass” LOL!!!
Maybe she should hook up with the Butler.
You know, I am in the minority here but I like Steve-O. He worked hard to pull himself out of the gutter. He comes across as a decent guy in interviews.
I don’t get the George appeal. He isn’t attractive to me because of the way he treats women. Granted, they know what they are getting when they hook up w/him so they too have some responsibility.
Totally agree with you, plus the shock of losing your friend so young for drunk driving probably gave him a massive wake up call.
I think he was sober before Ryan Dunn died. But still I’m sure that horrible accident only reinforced his dedication to stay sober.
I like Steve-O too. He’s always been honest and funny and now that he’s sober he really is sort of a catch. Those guys made millions off of JackAss and they are world famous. I’m sure Steve-O has a wonderful life at this point.
Liz could do far worse than sober Steve-O. Kanye west comes to mind…
I like Steve-O too, actually and I agree he comes across as a decent person in interviews, etc. I mean, his show is nuts, i can’t even watch the stuff I’ve he does, but apart from that, he’s strangely likeable. I’d even date him too. Definitely would take him over Clooney, any day of the week. Good for him!
My thoughts exactly. Steve O is actually a very interesting and intelligent person who treats his fans with respect, always going out of his way for them. He’s been sober for four years now.
I don’t like Elisabetta Canalis (although she is great for gossip and drama). But this story is full of BS all over it. Clooney decreased a bit of his drinking habits when he was with her.
If this happen to Canalis, imagine what will happen to the bland one he is dating?
…I was always a Bam Margera girl but wow, Stevo is looking rather fab in those pics, his cheekbones are gorgeous.
Dating a moron from Jackass is a huge downgrade.
As someone else said in earlier posts, this is an old story in Italy, it’s been around for about a month and of course not only she dumped him and not the other way around but… now she can choose between Clooney and her other ex Bobo Vieri ’cause both of them want her back…
Really?? Neither are moving very fast to be the first to get to her…!!
*sigh* and the clingon will be plastered all over the press in 3..2..
Neither are moving very fast to be the first to get to her? This is where the story gets juicier (read hilarious): George and Eli met in secret and he apologized and asked her to get back togheter… Sure… You have no idea what cr@p italian gossip magazines (in this case it’s called “Nuovo”)are willing to write to sell… But we did miss some of the George and Eli drama, didn’t we? 😉
😂
that’s complete BS no one believe that except for ely ROFL
i liked them because it was one of the oddest pairings i saw in the celeb world.
outside of the celeb blogs clooney is still seen as one of the sexist men with class and style and from that guy to the guy that jumps into elephant poo?
if he really dumped her because of his sobriety, good for him.
Ew. Was she going for the anti-Clooney?
I really like her coat!
Holy shit those pics are depressing.
I hate that I know this but Elisabetta was eliminated second on Dancing with the Stars, not first. Ron Artest was eliminated first that season. I definitely remember wondering at the time how the hell she wasn’t eliminated first since no one knows who she is but he has the Lakers fan base supporting him.
Clooney will forever be labeled a ‘stud.’ It’s a shame because it glorifies the idea of a man being able to hop from girl to girl and still be labeled as “sexy, charming, no woman good enough for” It’s too bad bc the women on his arm allow this sad picture to be played out for other men to epitomize as the grand set up. How unfulfilling (imho).
Lizzy should have followed my rule to never date a man who has a tattoo of a penis ejaculating over a child’s head.
that’s a man, sorry–I’ll never beleive otherwise.
Check out his upper arm tattoo in the second photo 😳
please see my post two above yours 🙂
Your post wasn’t visible when I posted. I didn’t think it could get worse than an ejaculating penis tattoo, until you pointed out that it’s above a child’s head 😝
For all her perceived faults and drugging, I would almost kill to have her figure. I think she’s gorgeous.
I don’t feel bad for these girls. When they date Clooney he probably seduces them with the A-list lifestyle and then they think they are the one and only. Stacy was not known really outside of the WWE and nobody was interested in her until George came along and when he moves on, she will go back to nobody being interested in her. Also, why does he go out with this no talent trashy girls?
Has he ever dated a woman we could admire? I can’t think of one who is newsworthy in a non gossipy sort of way. How very sad!
He dated Renee Zellweiger.
I remember he dated a girl with a french sounding name… Celine? in his E.R. days. She seemed nice.
Her name was Celine Balitran and she was from France. She was a waitress and he met her in a bar when he was filming there. She gave up everything and moved to U.S.. He dressed her up and took her out places, she tried to start a modeling career and she tried to play housewife for a year and then he dumped her, like all the rest. She moved back to France. Renee Zellweiger was probably too smart and classy for all his games.
Renee probably played him at his own game. Got to wonder about a man such as George who seemingly deliberately chooses partners who need to depend on him, and who aren’t equal in terms of finances, career opportunities. He’s definitely the power one. I don’t find him attractive anymore.
I don’t know that Renee is so smart in the “relationship” dept. Remember her marriage to that country singer guy? Very shady.
I don’t care what anyone says; I love this dude. He cares about animals and he’s working on his sobriety – what’s not to love?
Personally, I can not take George Clooney’s humanitarian causes so seriously anymore, when his personal life seems a joke to me. I have lost a lot of respect for him. He is living in a bubble. Also, these women want the jet set lifestyle without having to work for it. I wonder what some of Hollywood top actresses really think of him?
I agree with both statements. I also find it funny when I hear rumors like Clooney’s going to go into politics in the future. WT?! I just can’t take him seriously when I hear how immature he is in his personal life.
Besides you get a respectable wife for the spotlight and keep your cocktail waitresses behind closed doors. Something tells me he’ll have a hard time doing that. He’ll be like JFK without the discretion.
Wow, she dated a man with an American flag winged penis on his arm!
I like Elisabetta for some reason, haha. She seems harmless and remains more interesting than keibler.
NO stacy is wayyyy better than elisabetta at least in looks and in mind too and must be sexier clooney cheated on elisabetta with stacy no one get from one girl to another so fast he dumped elisabetta to be with stacy ,it’s like clooney went to mexico with stace 10 times half of them they were alone in 6 months huh!
Once she started dating Clooney it all went down from there. I mean first she made her way through Inter Milan’s roster and had a nice enough gig as a sometime WAG and “tv presenter”. Then she got with Clooney and she made her self into a worldwide laughing stock.
Now she’s making it worse by getting with Steve-O (?!?!). How do you go from hot footie players to some guy who’s famous for doing stupid sh-t? She should have married some old Italian billionaire and retired to a life of comfortable golddigger instead of trying to change the Cloone.
Never thought I’d say this as I detest the Jackass shows but I now have some respect for Steve O – wish him all the best in his sobriety.
No reason to kick a woman while she’s down. Clooney was going to move on eventually. I don’t know much about her as a person, but it seems like based on looks alone she could do better than this Steve character.
But sadly she wants to stay in Hollywod. She dated that nice-looking black HBO actor. I forget what show he is on. He dumps her. This is the best she could do and still be some type of celeb, I guess.
They discovered they’re actually brother and sister. The partying is a cover.
😉
Clooney’s down market, interchangeable hook-ups have cost him a lot of respect that he otherwise would have enjoyed. I just can no longer take the guy seriously.
Yawn- these girls, the Italian Queen and Oscar Barbie, get way too much attention from the gossip sites. It is the same old stuff with them, they have no talent and think they are the “IT” girl whether they are with or without George. I would love to hear what he says to them that makes them feel so secure in the relationship, when their walking papers could come at anytime.
Elisabetta come back home, there is some league b soccer player waiting for you here!
D.E.S.P.E.R.A.T.E.!!!
Lord, it didn’t take long!! Daily fail (mail) have Clingon (SK) spouting bullsh*t already!! Its not even the next day yet!!! That has to be a record for her??
You really have to feel for her desperation don’t you…not!!
I like sober-Steve-O. I would date him while he’s sober. I think it’s very respectable of him to stop dating someone that is abusing substances. It means he is taking his sobriety seriously.
Gawd damn! They both look like eachother! Cover the upper part of eli up, and compare to his face AHAHAHHAH WTF GROSS
CIOA BELLA GO BACK TO ITALY!!
KIEBLER YOUR NEXT.
I remember watching a clip of her and Val during a dance rehearsal on DWTS. Val was trying to teach Elisabetta a dance move and she just walked out slamming the door behind her.I though “Boy,if she’s like this only a couple of weeks into the competition what is she going to be like when the competition gets harder and harder with each passing week”? That scene confirmed in my mind that she can be somewhat demanding/difficult to deal/be with.
I think the “relationship” with Mehcad was probably another publicity contract, but the thing with Steve-O may have been real. As for those claiming that Clooney “wants her back,” please, he could barely tolerate her during her publicity contract with him. He had to tell her to smile on red carpets and he had to drink to keep himself from blowing up at her. Clooney doesn’t want her back for another failed publicity contract, just as he is more than ready to end Keibler’s failed publicity contract.
Lol at “The Clooney Girlfriend Retirement Plan.” Maybe they need to unionize?
I’m still not convinced Eli was born a woman.
Um is she wearing gumboots?
I’m surprised Canalis and Butler haven’t hooked up. She’s his type — skinny brunette with olive skin. He also likes his women trashy. Canalis and Butler both love cocaine almost as much as they love the spotlight. The more I think about it, Gerard and Elisabetta just might be soul mates.
I like Steve-O. I didn’t always, but it’s true he’s VERY serious about his sobriety.
aww give steve o a break, he had a wild silly side.. so what. i think hes adorable. super proud of him for leaving her and putting his sobriety first.
I love Steve-O, good for him on getting rid of a bad influence. He honestly looks more upset to be seen with her than she with him. Attention she wants.
Props to steve o for his sobriety. getting out of a realationship that could jeopardize your sobriety shows great maturity from someone I use to think was on the level of some goofball kid. I work in a field where I see people everyday fighting to stay clean & top of the list to not use is who you (dont)socialize with. cutting ties with those who
can take you down is loving & caring about
yourself.
don’t get clooney @all & learned more about him on this site than I ever knew. Like his contract babes for instance, he is a very demoralizing man.
I forgot to add I also don’t get these woman either who want to be a contract babe.
Steve O works very hard and has a great belief and love for family. Plus he is sexy as hell and has a killer voice and laugh. Definitely a catch if you can ignore the tattoos that are meant for a laugh.
You have to be joking? I have heard him on Howard Stern many times. He might have a good heart, but he isn’t a catch. He isn’t very articulate and sticking pins in his balls and what all he does to his genitals is just plain gross.
I find him goofy looking, not sexy, but each to his own.
so she went from A-lister clooney to a guy who stapled his scrotum to his leg on “jackass?”
yikes.
Now that’s a downturn. Wow.
It would be funny if George did marry Stacy.
LOL! I’m laughing at the title! LOLOLOL!!!
