In Touch (June 16) Why they split
Jun 5th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Gossip, magazinesEternal Bachelor George Clooney Breaks up with Sarah Larson — and asks her to move out.
Sarah Larson seemed to be The One — the woman who was finally able to tame longtime bachelor George Clooney and capture his heart. After nearly nine months of dating, George took Sarah to the Oscars in February, something he’d never done with any other girlfriend. He also gushed about her publicly — another first- and even let her move in to his LA mansion. Suddenly, the former Las Vegas cocktail waitress with modeling aspirations was the envy of millions.
But as In Touch reported first, George, 47, recently broke up with Sarah, 29 — and asked her to find another place to live. “He told her he doesn’t want to hurt her, so it was best for her to move on,” an insider reveals.
On May 28, an onlooker spotted what appeared to be Sarah’s belongings packed up in the driveway of George’s Studio City home. “There was small black truck parked outside on the street with clothes hanging inside of it,” a witness says.
Sarah, who recently bragged to friends that George was flying her first class to his villa a in Lake Como, Italy, in June, is devastated about the split, a close pal says, but is putting on a brave face. On May 31, she was in Las Vegas, surrounded by a group of friends at the Palms Place grand opening party. Asked if she was finally back in Sin City for good, Sarah replied, “I have a house, but I’m a nomad. I can’t decide where I want to live. I’ll be back and forth a lot.”
George likes being alone
An insider says Sarah is still hoping for a reconciliation, but a friend of George’s says he’s relieved to be single again. “He just wasn’t into Sarah anymore and hasn’t been for a while,” the pal says. “They had little in common. He thought she was hot, but eventually he got bored. he just doesn’t want to be tied down.”
Sarah isn’t the first woman to have her heart broken by George — who was married for three years to actress Talia Balsam — and she probaably won’t be the last. “George is unable to stay in a relationship for any length of time,” the pal adds. “He makes it clear that marriage is not in his future.”
Sarah’s friend says she believed she was the one who could change George — and now feels stupid. But her pal says she’ll land on her feet: “She’ll be okay. Hey, at least she had some fun.”

Maybe it’s me, but I don’t think Sarah Larson tamed George Clooney. Personally, I don’t think he needs taming. George is who he is. He’s honest about his life and what he wants out of it, and people should accept that and not think that they are going to change him. If it happens, then I’m happy for them both, but everyone who dates George seems to think that it will last forever even though they are aware of his wanting to stay a bachelor. There’s nothing wrong with not wanting to get married. Also, did everyone forget about Celine Balitran? She and George were together for a few years. If I remember correctly, I think George mentioned in an interview once that three years seemed to be his limit with a woman. Not many women have made it that far, if there were any others that even came close. Celine had class. She didn’t push her limit with George, and she didn’t talk excessively about her relationship with George as some other women have (can anyone say Lisa Snowden?). In my opinion, Celine was the best of the lot!
They are both kind of private people (Celine & George). I didn’t even know that they were together.
I knew Sara blew it back a few months ago; an interviewer noted something Sara said while in the middle of an inteview and I just cringed…I thought, ‘Oh sweetie, you’ll be single before July.’ And then she proceeded to talk online about recent events between them. He really is better off without her. But I will say this, and probably the only ‘nice’ thing I can say, “they looked good together in photos.”
An advice for George Clooney’s next girlfriend is: never ride in the motorcycle with him. I’ve seen George in crutches waaayy before Sarah came into the picture. LOL
