Re: Elisabetta Canalis - girlfriend 2009 - 2011 part 6

Cuz' it was a 2-year contract Lucy!! Where ya been???? Just teasing! I don't think we'll ever know the true story. Why did he "want" her in the first place? Why did he "stay" with her when some of the scandal stuff came out? Why did they all of a sudden become pap-shy? Why, why, why? Inquiring minds want to know!!

by Guest Mon 18 Jul 2011, 00:44

She came off as extremely self-absorbed, arrogant and in need for approval. I don't know what he was thinking too date hr for so long. My only guess it was his guilty conscious for ending with SL that way...

by Natascha Mon 18 Jul 2011, 00:49

On German TV Eli got her attention for that night:
On RTL Exclusiv they announced their report about the Emmy's with:
" His girlfriend came without any underwear" ... and yes, they were talking about Eli.
lol!

by lucy Mon 18 Jul 2011, 00:52

@LL, thats a good thought, he was kind of abrupt with his SL break-up, although IMO nobody could blame him for ending it with her.

Wait...What? No undergarment with a white dress? Wow, how thick was the material/fabric?

by Dexterdidit Mon 18 Jul 2011, 01:21

Yes the white dress Cavalli leaked she had bought one. I seem to remember Chi jumping to the conclusion it must be a wedding dress! Sort of looks like one but most brides don't leave their boobs hanging. She often looked this way if she wasn't getting all the attention and didn't realise the paps were looking! She was probably pissed she didn't get to walk the red carpet or sit in the first row that night. There are a few pictures of her looking unhappy! I don't think George ever took her to any after parties. We haven't seen her for awhile I wonder where she is?

by Guest Mon 18 Jul 2011, 01:44

This was george's advice to politicians during the Cancun festival , Sony Festival whatever it was:

"I think it's impossible to stay in politics and not make compromises, starting with the fact that to win or you're rich or you have to beat cash. Tips? Yes, do not use Twitter, do not show your genitals and do not sleep with the assistants. "

George, allow me to use your words... Here's my advice for your future girlfriend: do not use Twitter, do not show your genitals, don't famewh*re and do something useful to society. Thumbs up!

ps: I forgot to add--> be humble and, at least, independent emotionally

by sisieq Mon 18 Jul 2011, 01:47

I could be wrong, but I don't think he took her to any Oscar after parties, either. LOL!

by sisieq Mon 18 Jul 2011, 01:48

Question - I do think that was the way she looked that night, but in this particular photo, was George photoshopped in as he just doesn't look natural to me? He doesn't look like he's looking at anyone and is that really his laugh?

by anon.4 Mon 18 Jul 2011, 02:14

Proper foundation garments seem to be an idea EC never seemed to grasp. Personally, I couldn't stand in any of the dresses Cavalli made for her. Most of them looked like they came off the bridesmaid or mother of the bride rack at David's Bridal. The only decent dress was the one she wore to the Venice Film Festival, but it turned out that some other star had worn it before it. Even w/ that dress, she still didn't have proper foundation garments.

by Guest Mon 18 Jul 2011, 02:19

@sisieq They definitely don’t look like a happy couple and I believe that is George, no Photoshop job! You can see his shadow on the carpet. He’s standing there and she’s not happy! Makes you wonder if she kept the dress as a “surprise” and didn’t reveal it until they were ready to walk out the door. Then he decided not to walk the red or go to any after parties. Concerning the laugh, it looks like he’s a little embarrassed. Maybe someone just asked him if they were getting married dressed like that? Could you imagine?

See where my thoughts lead me! Basketball

by melbert Mon 18 Jul 2011, 02:25

Sisieq, in the actual live-feed video, he was there and that was his laugh and she was smouting. He did look uncomfortable several times during that feed, unnatural stance, and pretty much avoiding her the whole time. There were a couple times he "allowed" her to interact with the people he was talking with, but most of the time she stood or sat and had the same "bored" look on her face.

by Dexterdidit Mon 18 Jul 2011, 05:16

Single Of The Warm Summer From Canalis

Elisabetta Canalis
Could it be that in this time of men do not even want to hear at all? In fact, it is likely that after the farewell to the lovely George Clooney, the popular showgirl, has taken the decision to devote himself only to itself, at least for a while 'time, that's enough to digest the bitter disappointment in love.

I confirm the words of his friend and close confidant Elena Santarelli, that the program "Tabloid", on Italia 1, assured that the fellow Sardinian origins do not currently have neither the time nor the head, nor even the desire to think to matters of the heart.

The weekly gossip magazines and different, just to handle the situation stalled, trying desperately to give it some relation (such as with Angel Life, which appeared in the current issue of "Chi") with the hope of catching some new handsome beau, but for now they were just holes in the water.

All the boys with whom Canalis was paparazzi in recent days, are nothing more than the usual just friends and nothing more. Maybe after the summer Canalis, and this is the desire of almost the entire male population, actually back on the square, but for now it is better to focus attention on the many jobs that do not hesitate to come even from abroad. Also because of its quotiazioni have never been so high as in this period, mainly due to the influence of recent history with the popular Hollywood star.

The “lukewarm” single summer of Canalis

July 18, 2011

Elisabetta Canalis
Could it be that at this time she does not want to hear about men at all? In fact, it is likely that after the farewell to the lovely George Clooney, the popular showgirl, has taken the decision to devote entirely to herself, at least for the time being in order to have enough time to digest this bitter disappointment in love.

These words were confirmed by a close friend and confidant Elena Santarelli, that in the program "Tabloid", on Italia 1, assured that her coworker of Sardinian origins does not currently have neither the time nor the head, nor even the desire to think of matters of the heart.

The weekly gossip magazines and newspapers, in order to move this stalled situation are trying desperately to attribute her some relationships (such as with Angelo Vita, with whom she appeared in the current issue of "Chi") and the hope of catching her with some new handsome beau, but for now they were just holes in the water.

All the guys with whom Canalis was papped in recent days, are nothing more than the usual just friends and nothing more. Maybe after the summer Canalis, and this is the desire of almost the whole entire male population, will be available and on the market again, but for now it is better to focus her attention on the many job offers that continue to arrive from everywhere including from abroad because her quotations have never been so high as in this period, mainly due to the influence of the recent history with the popular Hollywood star.

Haha sounds like they are trying to make out she has so many offers she needs lots of time to go through them all. If she wasn't getting offers when she was with George she won't be getting that many now! I doubt anyone is foolish enough to think gee I better make an offer to her fast which is what they seem to want. I'm sure we will hear when she does something she needs to find a new place to live, get her shop in order etc so many Chi stories yet to come! Also if she stays single she can leak that her George might get back together etc, unless George gets a new girl in the meantime!

by Dexterdidit Tue 19 Jul 2011, 01:25

They rarely looked comfortable together. In this set of pictures they are not in sync and she can't hide how unhappy she is. Probably because there was no red carpet walk and no seats in the front row. They both look in different directions and rarely at each other. This is how things were for a long time!

Don't feel too bad for George Clooney's ex, Elisabetta Canalis. The born-to-be-in-a-bikini brunette, who split with Clooney after two years in June, has made a fortune from sponsorship and TV deals in Italy, and may soon be landing even bigger contracts in the United States. A source said the TV host and actress "has made around $10 million from deals in Italy, and soon will be popping up everywhere." It isn't clear if Canalis has landed a big modeling contract or an acting job, and a rep for the shapely siren couldn't be reached.

Link

by Dexterdidit Wed 20 Jul 2011, 06:02

If she has made that much she doesn't really need to work which suits her holidays over actual work lifestyle. Pretty good for nearly 2 years with someone! Funny how no one else seems to know about all these big deals Eli is supposed to have in the States. Would have made more sense when she was with George not now they have broken up! Still think it is a reality show in the works......Should be able to afford a nice house!

by watching Wed 20 Jul 2011, 09:57

I wouldn't doubt she has made that amount of money but she would have made it over the period of her career - not just in the George years. I can't image any of those contracts would have netted her a million dollar payday. She might have made that amount in total for the contracts & gigs she had gotten through the years but with tax, agent fees, business managers, lawyers, personal assistant, etc she wouldn't have gotten the whole 10 mill in her bank account. And she spends the money like its water - holidays, Prada, new cars (prior to the car gig), designer clothes, flights back and forth to the US over the years, etc. If she was smart, she would have a nice little nest egg but it most likely would not be enough to keep her in the manner that she has become accustomed to over the years for the rest of her life unless she changed her lifestyle.

I do wonder about all the press all of a sudden about the alleged upcoming gig in the States. They are pushing it hard - which is odd if they haven't signed a contract for the gig (as mentioned in the press articles). It's almost like they are talking about it so much that it will then magically have to happen (I call that the Larson disease). Something might have been discussed (and even offered) but since the split the job has cooled or disappeared and they (Team Canalis) are pushing it hard in the press to make it happen. Possibly by announcing it themselves to try and back someone or a company into a corner to go forward with the offer so Betty gets what Betty wants. And if they are talking about it publicly, whoever is in charge of the gig will just fall into line and it will then happen. They can't think that is how thinks work in LA? Normally the gig would be announced once the contract has been signed at the very earliest. They didn't talk up Leverage before the announcement that she was going to be in that show after contracts were signed and she had a start filming date. I just find it odd that in all the press she did for San Remo, PETA press, the Chi mag interview or the press for the TV show, she never mentioned she had a job (or was focusing on looking for work in LA) on the horizon?? Not even a hint of it but then post split, it is mentioned in the Pro Canalis articles like it is a done deal and we will be seeing her everywhere in the next few months. Odd.

by lucy Wed 20 Jul 2011, 11:08

What can she possible do? Acting job, can't act , to represent a product, look at all the famous actresses and yes models that are now doing ads on TV in the US market, finding it hard to believe that bettabuns has something special to offer that thousands of local women don't.Ex-of George Clooney doesn't sell that well just ask some of the exs.

by Katiedot Wed 20 Jul 2011, 11:42

I disagree somewhat.

The nature of fame, or celebrityhood or whatever it's called now has really changed. Look at the gossip magazines and half of the stuff in them is about talentless, vapid airheads who have no reason to be famous (Jersey Shore anyone?).

Betty is pretty well known now as Clooney's ex (and she will need to keep that descriptor in anything she does) and that's enough to generate interest in her. If you doubt that, then why are her threads on this forum the most read?

Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian et al, have all built fame based on absolutely nothing other than a love of self-exposure and an audience seemingly dumb enough to watch them.

If Betty can come up with the right format, then I don't see any reason why she should be any less successful. Maybe she's booked on one of those "I'm a celebrity" type contest shows?

She just needs to turn up on every red carpet she can be, attend parties where there are photographers and in a very short period of time people will stop asking 'why are we photographing her' and just accept that this is where she belongs, alongside hundreds of other c-list celebs.

I am of course, talking short term fame. One thing that I think may hinder her is her attitude. If she's really as sulky as she seemed on George's arm then she won't appeal to the audience. On the other hand, how nice are other reality TV show celebs? Maybe with the right editing she can come across as dumb and ditsy?

by Charley Wed 20 Jul 2011, 11:55

Good points Katie, but - Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian and yes even the (cough, splutter) "stars" of Jersey Shore can all speak English. Well shall we say the Jerseys English is at least passable? But Betty? Yes you can understand her, but you do have to concentrate, and when she puts the wrong inflection on words and phrases it makes you concentrate on just that word/phrase and you find you've lost the rest of what she's saying. She's too much work, and the whole reality (what a misnomer) genre seems to me to rest on the premise that there's absolutely no work required to watch them.

by Dexterdidit Wed 20 Jul 2011, 12:33

Also Paris and Kim both got big career boosts out of sex tapes! I really can't think what she could do. She can't even present in her own country so she won't make it in the States. Reality is her only option and no one is going to be bribed by her or team into signing her. Could be a smokescreen to makeout there is a lot of interest to make others interested. She has become invisible so if she wants anything in the States she had better get moving they won't come to her. I agree with you Katie I think her attitude will make for a very short career! The fact she couldn't get work with George is a really big thing, she didn't endear herself to the people who mattered then she certainly won't now. Expecially with George being so clear as too why he broke up etc! It is supposed to be revealed soon so we will wait and see. Chi will probably have the big scoop! If anything we should all get yet another laugh.

by Natascha Wed 20 Jul 2011, 12:58

Is anybody still interested in her post-split interview?
To me, it seems as if everybody is now talking about JLo's split.
Anyway, I think that Eli's career outside Italy will only last until George shows up with the next girl, then the focus will be on that one.

by Atalante Wed 20 Jul 2011, 12:59

Why doesn't she update her own website ???

by Dexterdidit Wed 20 Jul 2011, 13:20

You need to act fast once you have broken from George, but I really get the "arrogant" vibe from Eli and she thinks she can take her time. She didn't go back to LA and get lots of pap attention big mistake, no interview with anything juicy another mistake. Suddenly being so shy is going to work against her in a place where fame can be very fleeting especially when you have such a limited talent base! If she is going to do something it needs to be soon. George shows up with someone else that will take the attention of her.....she needs to get her little tanned butt into gear if she really wants to make a go of things in the US. As for the money I doubt she has that amount sitting in the bank and with taxes and her lifestyle over the years it would have dwindled. Also she can't demand top dollar in the US she isn't that big! She has some interest but it is because of who she dated not any actual talent and that interest would be waning every day.

by lucy Wed 20 Jul 2011, 13:34

Never think of the Paris, Kim"s, housewives of as famous-stars, but I guess there are people out there that do, and money to be made doing nothing but parting and humiliating themselves on TV. We'll see soon what these opportunities are all about, if it is a TV show I'll be one of those people tuning in just to see how she does!!!!

by pandabear Wed 20 Jul 2011, 13:35

"Born to be in a bikini," and "Shapley siren," are two ways they describe her. I have noticed in most articles for the past six months always talk about her bikini body and/or show her in one. I still think the vacation she supposedly took in Cancun with girlfriends was more of a modeling gig to get yet another series of pics of her in a bikini. When I first saw them I thought she posed for them. My vote is that if she did land some type of job here it will have something to do with her in a bikini and skimpy clothes, that is how she made her fame in Italy. She can't act, too old to model so she will go with what made her famous in Italy, her body. I bet she will do a spread in Playboy within the next year.
