This is seriously the ONLY picture I could find in our photo subscription in which Keibler WASN’T attached to Clooney by the hip:
And I get it. She’s nearly at the apex of her contractually-obligated Awards Season Relationship with him, and obviously, the closer you stand to Clooney, the more photos you are in. Is this terribly, terribly cynical? I’m sure it is. And listen, I’m not saying she doesn’t LIKE him — Clooney is a charmer, he’s got that place in Lake Como (I’d date Lord Voldemort for a summer at Lake Como [don't worry, at the end of the summer, I'd certainly try to drown him. I'm a double agent!]), and by almost all accounts, he is very kind and gentlemanly to the Ladies He Dates For About A Year In a Manner No One Takes Seriously. I’m just saying that I feel like Stacy Keibler has the wherewithal to be famous of her own accord — she was on Dancing With the Stars, for pete’s sake! Is there no greater PR accomplishment?! — and she seems sort of relaxed and cool, so I sort of wish she’d strike out on her own. I ALSO wish Intern George would stop having these weird fake-feeling relationships with age-inappropriate ladies and just be himself again. Unless being himself involves having strange-seeming relationships with younger women who wield considerably less power than he does, in which case I wish he’d stop being that person and start being someone who is madly in love with, like, Kristin Davis. Seriously, George, hear me out: she’s young-LOOKING, but she’s like 46, so it’s age appropriate. She has plenty of money from Sex and the City, so she’s not after yours. She’s not as famous as you are, which you seem to prefer. And she’s a brunette, which generally you like! I think this could work! Other ladies I suggest: Demi Moore (once she’s feeling better, of course), or J LO YES THIS IS A GREAT IDEA.
Okay, now that I’ve gotten all THAT out: this dress is fine. It’s lovely. It’s Marchesa, and it’s clearly from the What Have We Done? Chilled Out collection. It’s totally appropriate when you’re the arm candy and not the focus. It’s probably comfortable. It’s definitely ladizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Comments (70):
The worst part about this for me (besides it being Marchesa) is the fact that it was apparently custom Marchesa. This was the best thing Georgina Chapman and that other chick could come up with? Snoresville.
Also, a word Intern George: This chick was a pro-wrestler. That’s a low point even for you. Please date a woman over 40 for once in your life so we can gain a little more respect for you. It’s starting to look desperate. You are far too attractive and talented for this bull****!
I agree regarding Jlo being a good candidate. They had such insanely good on-screen chemistry in Out of Sight!
You beat me to it!
The Cloones and JLo would kill each other. Surviving Renee Zellweger seemed a challenge barely achieved for the man, JLo would do him in.
But I do like Cloonifer as their couple name.
Yes, George hooking up with JLo would only send him screaming back to the younger chicks.
Yes, Yes, dating gods make this happen.
Seriously, I feel like all of George’s girlfriend’lllldslllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
What? Sorry. I fell asleep there for a sec.
Dear Intern George:
Please date someone interesting. You are KILLING US WITH YOUR ROTATING CAST OF SAMEY SYLPHS. PLEASE. GOD.
We love you and only want what’s best for you.
Love,
Mom and DadEVERYONEI had that exact same dress as a slinky nightgown …15 years ago.
My granny had that same slinky dress as a nightgown 30 years ago….eek!
I would love to see him with Kristin Davis if it doesn’t work out with Stacy, but I gotta say, I’m rooting for those two crazy kids. I like her – a lot – she seems, as you say, relaxed and chill and totally NOT very interested in the fame-whoring opportunities available; and she and Intern George appear to have fun together – I mean, often, they look like they’re genuinely having fun together.
And about that dress…. not bad. Not great but not bad.
I do keep thinking “Maybe he’ll just fool us all and marry her!”
But I also like Kristin Davis or Demi as options…
Kristin D. is a great option! I think she has an adopted child, however (did I read this in People while at the dentist’s office/waiting to get my oil changed/on the elliptical trainer at the gym?), and not sure Intern George is Dad material. Demi seems a little too nutty for him.
Maybe he and Stacey hold wrestling matches… he may NOT be the dominant one in that case. Hmmm…
FAB!!! This is one of my favorites of the night! The dress is perfect for a lady who’s just there as a date, it’s elegant, it’s sophisticated and clasically beautiful! She looks GREAT… The hair, makeup, jewelry & clutch are fabulous! And, I like her with Intern George!
I still think that he’s denying who he really wants to date…and it makes me sad…. but I do think he and Stacy seem to have fun together.
Who do you think he really wants to date? Color me confused….
I just get a very Rock Hudson vibe from him. I know it’s not popular since he’s the heart -throb guy…. but I just feel all of these pretty, younger arm candy women are beards. It’s much easier to be seen as a playboy than to be asked why he goes to award shows alone or with Mom.
sometimes i think the same about the rock hudson thing…
I’ve never thought about that before….interesting points.
My spouse TOTALLY thinks he’s gay. I’m not sure, I don’t get a “gay” vibe from him necessarily, but I don’t think he’s all that interested in any kind of real relationship, whether with a woman OR a man.
Whenever beloved spouse brings up the “Clooney’s gay” thing, I always counter with “maybe he’s asexual”. Who knows. It seems unlikely Intern George is gonna let us in on it either way.
Now I want to read MM romance with and some happening architect or indie publisher.
I like the dress – I think she looks great. Let’s just accept the fact that this was an understated dress event. As to Intern George? I wish ALL middle-aged men who are available to form new relationships would at least think about the possibility of dating a middle-aged woman! It would be great if Clooney led the way, but I don’t see that happening.
He and Sandra Bullock would be the most likeable, charismatic couple EVER. If she’s not going to go after Ryan Reynolds, then I’m totally be okay with Intern George.
Oh, I guess I should comment on the actual topic at hand? She’s pretty. This dress is pretty. I remember really liking her from her season of DWTS. Plus, she’s from Baltimore so I have to root for her out of some weird state solidarity thing I have (see also: Josh Charles, Julie Bowen). I think she and George are cute together, but yeah. I wish he’d date someone closer to his age.
Oooh, I LOVE him with Sandy. If Sandy can’t be with Keanu.
Oh god yes please. When that THAT happen, oh please!!!!
@Claire L
George is not gay. He’s a friend of a friend, and he really is that shallow. To me, that’s sadder.
I don’t think he’s gay. If he were gay and that concerned about his image he WOULD date someone age appropriate and have kids. I guess he is just that shallow. I loved everything that Jessica said, and I felt it needed to be said, Not that he’s listening.
@ Tessa: probably true, but what about Ryan Seacrest? Mario Lopez? CLEARLY gay yet dating much younger women.
I would love to see Intern George with Sandra Bullock, but she is probably too much woman for him–and I mean that as a compliment to her, not him. Intern George, for all of his prettiness and charisma, is clearly not interested in a partner and that takes him down a few notches with me. Brad Pitt has been with Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie–clearly that guy is not afraid of being outshone.
Oh, the dress. It looks like the tablecloth at a goth wedding. I do like her hair here though, so that’s something.
Every time I see her, she looks vaguely familiar. And then I realize that she looks like she could be Heidi Klum’s younger sister. Does anyone else see it?
As for the dress, it’s fine, but doesn’t seem to fit her personality. She seems too bad-ass for Marchesa. I’d rather see her in something like Angelina’s dress.
they do look like sisters!!
Never noticed, but you’re right. She could be a Heidi Klum sib!
Heidi Klum’s younger sister, yes, that’s what I thought, too! I think she’s a gorgeous looking woman and her and George make a nice couple. As for George being gay… my husband thinks George is but I like to think that if he was he’d have the guts to come out. He’s pretty much vocal about so many other things that don’t really concern him directly so why would he keep stumm about his own preference?
Back to the real reason we are here… the dress. It’s not horrid but it’s boring. I just think that the undergarment looks like something my mum wore when she wanted to hide her sins… not a good look!
yes, very Klum-ful!
I would totally love to see him with Sandra Bullock. Or Kristin Davis would be perfect. Alas…..I doubt it will happen. Clooney is truly Matthew McConaghey’s character from Dazed and Confused.
That comment was the bombdiggity!
I was a huge fan of The Clooney – now though….the charm is grating on me – did anyone else see him working the room during the Golden Globes? It was just so like a politician up for election and I felt..cheated.. I don’t want him to be a smarmy politician with weird man love for BP..come back to the bright side George! As for Stacy – she seems nice…the dress is a bit blah but she carries herself very well.
He talked about that and said that he loves the Globes because it’s a chance for him to see all of his friends that he doesn’t get to see very often. I read it as “working the room” too, but after hearing seeing him say that, I feel better about it.
Since Lord Voldemoort is really Ralph Fiennes under that mask, I think I’d do a little more than date him.
You and me both, hon.
Two words… LEG CURTAINS
(please, PLEASE< PLEASE STOP!)
she is very pretty & the dress is okay – nothing fanatstic. I dont think georges dating pattern is going to end up well for him. He is going to get older and only look creepier
Blink and she looks like Heidi Klum in this shot !
the dress reminds me of the first dress that Julia Roberts wears in pretty woman “a cocktail one” for her first date with her “uncle”
I wish Intern George would knock it off with his dating habits. He’s totally Matthew McWhatsit in Dazed and Confused and it’s AWFUL. I am totally fine with him not marrying and having babies. I think that’s great. I also think it’s great he’s so vocal about it. But quit with younger and younger (than you) girls, George! You’re verging into straight-up creepy territory.
That said, she seems nice and the dress is fine. Although I wish the slip went all the way down.
She’s 31 and he’s 50 – there are a TON of relationships (especially in the wealthy man/younger woman genre) that fall into this territory and it doesn’t fall into being creeptastic. It’s not like she’s 20 – which WOULD be totally creeptastic.
Note: This message brought to you by a woman married to someone (a very youthful!) 14 years older.
Fine but it’s the PATTERN here. The gross, rotating, interchangeable heads, real-life-Barbie-to-dress-up-and-stick-in-the-car PATTERN.
Bad suggestions all for Intern George (Kristin would not be interested in him or any other guy, Demi is unfortunately very damaged, and Clooney is well known to absolutely HATE Lopez due to very bad blood on Out of Sight). I think he does all right with the 1-year-contract ladies – seems to work for him and them.
That said, why are we seeing Kiebler’s white Spanx? It is the only thing marring this otherwise very nice dress.
Why wouldn’t Kristin Davis be interested in “any other guy”? I haven’t heard that she came out! (Of course, I hadn’t heard that Jenna [of J. Crew fame] had come out, either.)
I know she adopted a baby recently, but that doesn’t preclude dating!
He’s handsome and all, but I think the ladies who are gorgeous, wealthy, accomplished, famous, and older don’t have the time of day for George. I’m willing to bet that it isn’t all his choice, and that he gets what he can get.
Not that there’s anything inherently wrong with Stacy–she’s fit and strong and gorgeous, and she is very young, so she has lots of time. For once I’d like to see one of his “girls” profit from their one-year-contract obligations. I’d like to see Stacy known for something other than just being some down market wrestling chick who cleans up good.
(.. the Duchess of Cambridge effect- I saw this and thought of Kate. War Horse premiere. and then think, oh no!, I spend too much time looking at pictures of Kate.. (-:)
and Clooney reminds me of a friend I have who has not bought a car for over 20 years. he leases a brand new model every 18 months. they’re sleek and gorgeous and he never has to worry about repairs.
On the dress: I think it’s nice. I really love her hair & makeup like this too.
On George: this relationship just smacks of escort service to me & makes me almost unable to look at him. Ugh. He is way too old for her.
I think George is awesome, he is an actor and is up for an award, so some schmoozing is mandatory. And his choice in women is interesting, I guess. My thought is he is protecting his squishy center by dating women so much younger than him. I can see him settling down in a couple of years with a serious woman (love the Sandra Bullock thought).
Can you really fault a guy who gets better looking and more charming every year for playing the field? Why does he need a long-term relationship? He’s rich, handsome, and everyone loves him! As long as he picks good fun sidekicks who aren’t too young… Very James Bond.
Is that Stacey’s spanx showing through, or is the dress liner two-tone? It kind of makes it look like one of those mini dresses with the sheer overlay, but is actually fully lined, so does that make it any better?
I’m not mad about the dress, but it fits the brief, so yeah fine-ly played. I DO like that the lining is neither black nor beige. The charcoal shows off the lace while clearly showing that the dress is fully lined.
Man, I would love to spend a Summer at Lake Como.
say what you will about the frock (I like it!)… but that girl has some seriously blessed genes. good gracious.
J. Lo? GOD, no! J. Lo?? HELL NO! J. Lo??! Just… NO!
Love the Sandra Bullock idea. And yeah, really, George. I used to love Harrison Ford but lost all respect for him when he traded in his very cool wife for a baby waif.
If Intern George is not abusing any power relationship that exists, who is to say a man has to settle down. Maybe he’s seen some things not work out in his family with relationships gone awry and has decided to keep a certain distance. We don’t know his life (with a wink wink to Tyra), or do we? Hmmmm.
Lots of guys just are not interested in the marriage thing, sorry to say. Some don’t even want children (gasp!). He’s good looking, so I hear (he’s not my type and never got the swooning over him). Is it better that he pretend to be something he is not?
Yes, it’s a privilege he enjoys as a man, but he seems not to be so shallow that he’s unconcerned for humanity (witness his Darfur activism) and, therefore, uses that privilege well in other areas of his life.
So…Here’s to serial monogamy, or plain old getting it while you can.
I agree Tony. If I hadn’t met the love of my life (at 45!), my course was set for a happy life of serial monogomy. I come from a short line of same (my 3 sisters) although my parents are still married at plus 60 years and though they’ve had their ups and downs are quite happy.
There doesn’t have to be some terrible past – we were just taught (by our mom) that you don’t NEED someone to complete you and that if you’re a certain type of personality, you’re better off on your own.
Eventually, all of my sisters and I got married, but we all did it in our 40′s, after we’d a: figured out what we really want and b: found it. But perhaps Intern George doesn’t “want” anything other than he has. Good for him, if so!
George Clooney is gross. That dress is both boring and ugly (previously unthinkable, but there you have it).
That plum gown on the woman standing with Ted Dansen looks classier and more interesting than this see-through doily with the partial slip. This fit on this black lace one is good but the slip fail brings it into cheap bridesmaid/prom territory.
Mary Steenburgen. And good God, yes- she looked divine! http://gofugyourself.com/sag-awards-fug-and-fabs-pinkspurples-01-2012/18th-annual-screen-actors-guild-awards-arrivals-25
YYYESSS. Mary Steenburgen has got it going on! At 58 years of age, too! WOO!
She’s on my Woman-Crush list, along with Sela Ward, Joanna Cassidy, Michelle Pfeiffer, Diane Lane, Dana Delaney
XOXO!
I’m not sure what the big problem is with who he dates – he’s made it extremely clear in all interviews that he will never get married again, and he doesn’t want serious relationships since he’s – self professed – horrible at them.
I too like Stacy – she seems down to earth, funny and fun, and also seems to know the score. If she’s good with that, and he’s good with that, then have at it. Also, the outfit – I like it also. Not as “hot” as she could be, but I think that fits with the theme of them together.
Yes I don’t care who he dates either, she can be 20 for all I care.
But I am over the public nature of these relationships – the OMG look Clooney is dating some new girl. As PR it is fairly terrible because Clooney looks old these days and instead of thinking hot man-hot arm candy, its emitting more a ewww old man with young girl vibe.
Remember when SMG emailed you guys and it was AWESOME?! What if Intern George did the same thing?! I, as a lowly reader, would die. This is neither here nor there, but it was my first thought.
Also, I like the dress.
I think Clooney is too old for J.Lo, she is the Clooney of women! Him and Kristin Davis would be awesome, she’s so beautiful and non-threatening.
However, if Intern George and Hola Lovers DID date, think of the fantastic material for the Fug Gals!
Has anyone noticed her roots? Otherwise lovely.
