Re: What Elisabetta Canalis did next - part 1

by Dexterdidit Thu 01 Sep 2011, 12:58

That is true and since it is still going on it isn't in her best interest to be quoted as saying anything. But the drugging other people's drink isn't probably the best joke for her! Those english lessons must be doing wonders it does make you wonder how narcotics came up in conversation? I have a friend who teaches English and it isn't a word normally covered. I think she is trying to use what she learnt from George he often jokes about drinking etc. It isn't going to work with Eli while people still remember the big headlines which had her name and the words drug ring in them.

by lucy Thu 01 Sep 2011, 13:10

Agree DEX, don't understand why ex's try and mimic George and how he handles the press, it's his specialty, and doesn't work well with many who try usually falls flat and comes out wrong instead of funny.

by Natascha Thu 01 Sep 2011, 13:12

If I had been in Eli's place in that drug-scandal I would have had a hair-analysis done. With that, you can easily proof that you haven't done any drugs.

The two nightclubs (The Hollywood and The Club) in Milan were closed in 2010 pending investigations which is still pending as it takes time in Italy to get cases to Court. She may still need to come to Italy to testify.

'Dancing With the Stars': Oddsmakers favor Elisabetta Canalis, not Chaz Bono or Nancy Grace By Mikey O'Connell

August 31, 2011 7:45 PM ET

If you frequent an off-track betting facility that takes wagers on the outcome of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," please tell us where that is... and you might want to pay close attention to the these numbers.

Oddsmakers at Bodog.com, who successfully favored Season 12 victor NFL wide receiver Hines Ward early in the competition, has released its stats on the recently announced Season 13 cast. The favorites might catch you a bit off guard, but the long-shots only seem to validate our suspicions.

The least likely seem to be Chaz Bono, the series' first transgender contestant, and TV judge Nancy Grace, who have been placed at 20/1 and 18/1, respectively.

Up at the top, there's model, actress and George Clooney ex Elisabetta Canalis with 3/1, followed closely by former "Queer Eye" star Carson Kressley (4/1) and "Hills" alum Kristin Cavallari (5/1). [Editor's note: That trio would surely make for the most bizarre finale in "DWTS" history.]

These odds, released Tuesday (Aug. 30), might stand a little tweaking after Wendesday's announcement of the pro pairings. Returning cast member Derek Hough, who sat out last season after winning his third mirrorball trophy, doesn't seem likely to let partner Ricki Lake go as soon she's predicted to leave.

And Canalis might have an uphill battle working with newcomer Val Chmerkovskiy. Audiences aren't terribly familiar with either of them -- though can you imagine what Maks would do if his little brother won the title before him?

Here's the complete list of odds:

Elisabetta Canalis - 3/1
Carson Kressley - 4/1
Kristin Cavallari - 5/1
Chynna Phillips - 6/1
Robert Kardashian - 15/2
Hope Solo - 8/1
David Arquette - 10/1
Ron Artest - 10/1
J.R. Martinez - 12/1
Ricki Lake - 15/1
Nancy Grace - 18/1
Chaz Bono - 20/1

Have any early favorites? And how do you think the pro partners might affect their chances?

And because the case hasn't yet been finalized and both they're names cleared, I for one would not say anything like that publicly. I was not making comment on her guilt or innocence, just that she's silly to make a joke like that.

You are talking about a second case. The first one is about the cocaine/escort case at two Milan nightclubs (Hollywood and The Club) which were closed in August 2010 pending investigations and still need to go to court (things work very slowly in Italy). A french entertainer turned prostitute named Karima mentioned having done cocaine with Canalis at those clubs on several occasions. George was not in the picture at that time since I believe it referred to 2008 although the accusations popped out in 2010.

The second case is the case of the "bung-bunga" parties (orgies with underage girls) at Berlusconi's villa in Arcore (near Como) where an underage escort names Ruby Rubacuori (can't remember real name but she is originally from Morocco) mentioned that at one of those "dinners" Elisabetta Canalis and George Clooney were present. George and Elisabetta denied it but later admitted that they indeed met with Berlusconi but only to ask for aid for Darfur. Also this second case is still pending.

Dear Sonoio, I want tell that is useless deny if the people not is willing to belive you , the silent is better and in this George is a teacher.

by Guest Thu 01 Sep 2011, 22:58

Hi Lelacorb, You seem to know an awful lot about the personal aspect of Eli’s actions… Are you guessing or how are you associated with Eli? Are you Eli, Val, or one of her Velina friends?

And… how was George the teacher on this subject? When someone gives out false testimony about him, Stan comes out with a statement. The only thing I’ve not seen him comment on is his real relationships, some of the false ones have been denied at times, a while later, as long as it didn’t hurt his reputation. But a case like the drug club situation, Stan would be all over it with denials.

by lucy Thu 01 Sep 2011, 23:25

Don't want to speak for lelacorb but I think she means the information in the press regarding Eli and drug case etc. has been over blown. Why deny the accusations publicly if no one will believe you. George is a good example of this when he doesn't respond to rumors etc.

by Guest Thu 01 Sep 2011, 23:31

Oh..., so she's just guessing like the rest of us... Just wondered.

by socimar Thu 01 Sep 2011, 23:49

I really wondered about these court cases and I have asked myself as to why two different people, a French escort turned prostitute named Karima (for the 2008 drug/escort case in two Milan nightclubs) and Ruby Rubacuori (for the dinner with Berlusconi in 2010) who did not know each other would each mention the name of Elisabetta, of all the people in Italy ...why mention her...when, she was by no means not particularly important.

Karima el Mahroug (Ruby Rubiocuore "Ruby the Heartstealer" is the now 18-year-old stripper who allegedly had sex for pay with Silvio Berlusconi when she was 17 years old. Berlusconi bailed Ruby out of prison for theft. She accused George and Elisabetta of attending those bunga-bunga parties.

Karima Menad is the French hooker who said that she and Elisabetta did cocaine at a VIP club.

I think Ruby is being used as a pawn for Berlusconi to do his dirty work for him.

by Charley Fri 02 Sep 2011, 00:59

Yes Socimar, I did mix up the two cases. But I only remember George denying the bunga bunga party story. He said he'd only met Berlusconi once when he went to ask for help with Darfur. And that was before he'd met Betty. I never saw any report of Betty denying either report against her.

Edited this to say: George only denied the bunga bunga story because that was the only one he was mentioned in.

by Dexterdidit Fri 02 Sep 2011, 01:09

It wouldn't surprise me if Eli did drugs at some stage it seems to be part of that model culture. Don't forget she also dated a convicted drug dealer so I'm thinking a hair anaylsis would have done her no favours. Could be she was one of a number of models in the clubs and with her famous soccer boyfriends would have been known. Possible any party Berlusconi has is known as a bunga bunga party. George may not have known what he was going too but Eli would have had some idea. It hasn't exactly been a secret in Italy over the years. So far neither George or Eli has been called it doesn't mean they aren't going to be. They actually did a piece on this on 60 Minutes last Sunday. It was not flattering for Berlusconi or for Italy, George and Eli didn't get a mention.

Georgey knows that Betty wants to make a big name for herself on this side of the pond. That's one of the reasons he rebounded so quickly with Stacy Keibler, so that Elisabetta would keep her distance. And DWTS isn't such a bad gig to land. At least they're telling her she's a star, no?

The process for drug dealing and prostitution at the Hollywood was not for personal use. I know that models, actors, politicians often make use of cocaine and Ely also could have used but this would not have ruined the reputation of George. He has repeatedly claimed to have made use of acid and smoked with a bong. When he turned twelve Ocean in Amsterdam, he and Pitt spent their evenings in the cofee shop and I assure you that in those places you do not drink coffee.

Video of Betty talking about Dancing

The exercise is paying off already! Elisabetta Canalis is sizzling in a pair of skin-tight leggings as she leaves Dancing With The Stars rehearsals

Last updated at 6:45 AM on 2nd September 2011

Every contestant on Dancing With The Stars raves about the affect the gruelling rehearsals have on their bodies.

And it looks like the hard work is already paying off for George Clooney's ex-girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis.
The Italian actress looked sensational and super-toned in a pair of skin-tight leggings as she arrived for dance rehearsals in Los Angeles today.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The trousers and matching top clearly showed off the attributes that enchanted Ocean's 11 star George.

It gives credence to bookmakers, who have already installed the 32-year-old as favourite ahead of fellow beauty Kristin Cavallari.

Elisabetta is sitting at 3/1 at the moment, with The Hills star at 5/1. Kristin, who is partnered by hunky Mark Ballas, is not so sure she stands a chance.

The blonde said: 'It's good to stay busy. I have no idea if I'll be good or not. 'I have a lot of anxiety about just getting in there and seeing how well I'll be able to pick up the dances.'

However for Cher's transgender son Chaz Bono may be a good each-way bet as the rank outsider at 20/1, with celebrity lawyer Nancy Grace just ahead of him at 18/1.

Another Dancing With The Stars contestant who seems to be aiming high is basketball star Ron Artest.
Of course there is nothing else he can do, as he stands at a gigantic 6ft 7in tall. But he was training hard today in the run up to the show, which starts on September 19. He munched on a healthy apple as he prepared to take part in another grueling day of dance training

Is Elisabetta Canalis Moving On From George Clooney With a Dancing Hunk

Another season of Dancing With the Stars, another round of celebrity dating rumors! The cast of season 13 has plenty of unattached celeb hotties, most notably George Clooney's sizzlingly sexy ex-girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis.

So are things between Canalis and her pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy (Maksim's bro) already getting romantic? "This question really makes me laugh," Canalis told us earlier today during a visit to E! News when asked about pending romance rumors. "Val really is very focused on what we are doing. He's not focusing on anything else...He's a tough Russian guy."

But how is their chemistry as a dancing duo? "It's not a chemistry, it's a big barrier," she laughed. "We don't know each other, so we are knowing each other dancing." As for if there's a special guy in her life at the moment, Canalis says, "No, I'm dating nobody. I live alone with my two dogs in my apartment and I'm super happy. I'm a very independent person. I love living alone."

So Eistein didn't make it to LA then?

We started calling her Betty on the CCC blog because George had an aunt named Betty. At least that was my motivation. Betty was the most popular nickname for Elizabeth during the 40's and 50's in America, actually even prior to that time period. Now the most common nicknames used for Elizabeth are Beth or Liz.

As for whether or not Ted is reading this or other forums probably not personally but some of his staff might keep up with the hotter topics on certain individuals. Gossip is their job, so it's not out of the realm of possibility.

"Eli" is the short form of Elijah that's true but it's pronounced "E-LIE" as opposed to "EL-EE".

Right. In Italy the abbreviation for ELISABETTA is ELI (ELI-SA-BETTA) pronounced as above (thanks Lighterside). We do not have any other nickname like Liz or Betty or whatever.

True, but people who would still make jokes, as they do, just because the spelling is the same. I have read in gossip blogs people saying she looks like a man no wonder she is called Eli. I was not focusing on speaking but on the writing. Smile

In the video she is interviewed by Giuliana Rancic about her experience rehearsing with Val (lots of work - 6 hrs a day), also she mentioned that she goes to English classes 3 times a week and I must say that her English is improving. Interesting that Giuliana asked her about the Leukemia Foundation she is supporting (a rare type of leukemia - they also had a video of a little 8-year old boy who died from it). I bet her PR told her that to be accepted in Hollywood you have to do some charity work. In May when someone asked her why wasn't she involved in George's humanitarian projects in Darfur she said that she had taken another project, to build kennels for stray dogs in her native Sardinia. We haven't heard anything about it again, hope she doesn't drop this one too. The comments below the video are in her favor, so her PR is doing something good.

by Dexterdidit Sat 03 Sep 2011, 01:10

Well we wondered what she was going to support and has gone from puppies to kids with a rare disease. It is a good cause but let's see if she actually sticks with it or is just using it for a better image on DWTS. This is the first time she has even said anything about this cause and she has had plenty of opportunities too. Sorry it's the cynic in me. She seems to have a real connection with Giuliana which is always going to be helpful, I actually like the top she was wearing but Eli needs to stop fidgeting and touching her boobs. I wonder if they will do anything about her tattoos? They make everything she wears look cheap.

by socimar Sat 03 Sep 2011, 01:39

Yes, and by the way, she didn't even know the name of this type of leukemia. She had trouble even coming up with the word "rare" and Giuliana helped her. I think people are going to accept and start to love Canalis because what she is taught to say sounds good and they don't know her past. They know her as the ex of George but her lies, attitude, and the rest are known only to people who knew her or were following George's life.

There was another youtube video in this link which led to another. It was an interview by Simona Ventura regarding Eli statement in Vanityfair.it that she prefers black men to white. Two of her boyfriends were black, Didier Drogba and Ferreira Reginaldo (both cheated on her and eventually she was dumped) but when she met Clooney she suddenly switched to "I love American men" because they are not afraid to tell you "I love you". An Italian blogger said it is strange but true that the guys she chooses they all have something in common which is "money". The blogger added how come that she has never fallen in love with a car salesman or a bartender, a factory worker???

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] I said earlier on this thread she will do fine on DWTS because most people don't know her past, don't know her flip flops, etc and this is the chance to be in Hollywood. When she did the PETA campaign people who didn't know anything about her thought she was lovely...

I am saying she is following her PR who;s following former clooney's blogs to see whby people don't like her. She is doing all this stuff to become relevant in America. how long is going to last? Don;t know... but as long as her PR team is doing a good job and she is playing the HW game, she will be fine... Unfortunately, she will stick around longer than I wanted it. But as a friend of mine said today on his facebook: I wish Lady gaga would go to DWTS, it means her career is coming to an end, lol!

. I would love to say the same about Eli, this si a sign her career is ending in US before the beginning, but I have to give credit to her PR team.

by Dexterdidit Sat 03 Sep 2011, 05:24

I found it funny she could say leukemia but not rare....she has picked a cause that involves children and illness it tends to pull the heartstrings more then puppies. I won't surprised if the little boys mother shows up to show support etc and Eli's team will use it to the hilt. Up until now she has done nothing for children's illnesses she has always supported dog charities it is great for the charity and great for Eli. I just think it is sad that she is using some like this for her own gain. I doubt we will hear of her involved in it when DWTS is over. So Eli now has puppies and sick children covered the PETA add should come out soon as well. DWTS generally isn't a sign your career is well and very few have actually managed to do anything afterwards anyway. They go back to being ignored. Eli will have to do more then dance if she wants a career in Hollywood I wouldn't be surprised if maybe E offers her something. Giuliana Rancic seems to have a real girly crush on her. LOL

As it's been said, this is usually the end, not the beginning of careers in the States. Does she think that Producers and Directors will be beating down her door because she wins a Disco Ball??

DWTS is about exposure. Many a wannabe can build a "career" from being famous - especially in LA. This show gives her a better shot than many others to establish the I'm famous career. Just like the dancing on a table on TV gig in Italy all those years ago. Club appearances, mag write ups, party invites, the occasional tv show cameo, a modelling gig or two, etc. Get a few "jobs" a year and you can live comfortably and the attention slows but doesn't totally wane. Betty has done this for years - famous boyfriends - check attention, the occasional job - check attention, posing in a bikini - check attention, etc. All she needs to ensure is that she does not fail in an epic, very public way and she can blend into living the same life as all the other desperate to be famous, pretty but never made it based on talent women in LA. If she finds a niche that she can manage, she might even get semi-regular employment. Although the E intervierw she did didn't help her chances as getting a presenting gig any time soon when they asked her to throw to the next segment, it was a bit painful.

Betty has a new personal twitter account @JustElisabetta. Val has checked in so I would be reasonably certain it is her. Maybe @OfficalCanalis & @EliCanalisnews is her PR team.

The blurb for her twitter account is “interesting”:

ElisabettaC

@JustElisabetta LOS Angeles, CA

ciao everybody,finally I m on Twitter too and I hope you all support us in this adventure on Dancing with the stars!

Finally on twitter? Guess she has just erased that first time she was on twitter. Looks like the re-writing of history hasn't changed. At least this time with DWTS, she might get a few more followers. We mentioned 24 hours ago that she needs to update her online presence and she has started getting on with it. What's next - her website and/or myspace being updated?

by blubelle Sat 03 Sep 2011, 16:56

IMO this is one crafty lady. She uses whatever she has to achieve her goals. There are so many Hollywood "celebs" with no talent that make a good living doing the dating, modeling, reality and club scene. She has been mentioned and she has been pictured in almost every ad for DWTS. I think she looked great in the photos for the Arabian edition of that mag. I'm not a fan of hers but her PR team is doing a great job. She knows what she wants and is determined to get it any way she can.

'Dancing with the Stars': Behind the Scenes

by watching Sun 04 Sep 2011, 00:00

Link to rehearsal pictures

Can someone have a look at these inside rehearsal shots and explain to me what is on Betty's feel? The wierd half sock thing - what the hell is that? Scroll through the gallery. Betty shots at the end. They are miked up so I assume the behind the scenes filming has began. The first Betty shot is borderline familiar - butt out at an angle for a camera man.

Update - Ha! Clooney1970 found the same shots. And the half sock thingies are apparently dancing socks. Half socks cover the toes to allow a smooth turn surfaceand saves from blisters and abrasions while turning. You also get good grip as your heels are exposed.
