EXCLUSIVE!

NEWS/ George Clooney's Mystery Woman Revealed: 5 Things to Know Amal Alamuddin!
by LILY HARRISON and Marcus Mulick Today 12:20 PM PDT


George Clooney's mystery woman is revealed!
The Gravity actor was spotted out on the town with a beautiful brunette late last week and E! News has learned that the lucky lady in question is Amal Alamuddin.
The two were seen grabbing a bite to eat at Berners Tavern and were all smiles as they rode off in the same cab.
In a solo shot, Amal was seen walking out of the eatery, flashing a huge grin while dressed in a chic red halter dress and giant hoop earrings.
Is that a smile that says, ‘I just had dinner with none other than Mr. Clooney'? Why yes, it does seem to be.
But back to the point at hand…is there something romantic brewing between these two?! It may be too soon to tell, but let's investigate who she is before we get too ahead of ourselves.
Here's a look at five things you need to know about Ms. Alamuddin:

1. Not Just a Pretty Face: Amal is a lawyer (barrister in British terms) who specializes in international law, human rights, extradition and criminal law. So it looks like there's plenty for her to chat about with the longtime political activist slash Hollywood hunk.
2. Quite an Eligible Bachelorette: Make that the most eligible bachelorette in all of the U.K. In 2013, she landed on the No. 1 spot of London's Hottest Barrister list.
3. She's trilingual: Being bilingual is so last year. This beauty speaks fluent English, Arabic and French. So beyond her linguistic skills and the effect they have on doing her important work, it also means that she can accept offers for romantic trips to Lake Como in more languages than the average gal—le sigh.

. Famous Followers: Well, sort of. It turns out that Ashton Kutcher actually follows her on Twitter. Competition for Clooney? Nah, he seems perfectly smitten with his former That 70s Show costar Mila Kunis.
5. The Assange Connection: It seems as though Amal isn't afraid of the limelight—or a little notoriety. She is currently representing WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange in his extradition proceedings with Sweden.
So there you have it! And if we do say so ourselves, this striking beauty and big-time lawyer appears to be a great match for the smart, handsome Clooney! Good luck, you two!

Is it possible to post this in the thread with the images of the lady so we can put two and two together? I am of course assuming it's the same person at this point

Thanks SG, I saw it last night but wasn't sure if that was old or new.
I liked the last sentence:

"And if we do say so ourselves, this striking beauty and big-time lawyer appears to be a great match for the smart, handsome Clooney! Good luck, you two!"

Finally some nice gossip in the paper LOL

Here are the pics from the artical playful. Same woman

a lawyer chitchatting is many times useful ...

we will see

To be honest, guys, I put this story from the Mail, and earlier Vanity Fair under an Al Bashir thread becos I thought that was where it was most relevant..........might be wrong.......

Take a look at yourbarristerboyfriend,tumblr.com and @SvanGilderCooke and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] for lots more insider fun about one dinner meeting

That is snarky PA-N...thanks for the heads up:


Our hottest female barrister of 2013, Amal Alamuddin, is not content with being fêted for her brain. It seems she is also eager to take on the role of small-time socialite and beard to one of the most ineligible bachelors in the world - George Clooney!

Amal and George went out for what looks very much like a date last Thursday at the Berners Tavern. A few people told us that Amal had been flirting with a certain Mr. C.Y., but if George Clooney asks you to dinner, well, who can blame her for being SINGLE, YES VERY MUCH SINGLE.

We have to say, however, that while Amal looks glowing, vivacious — exhilarated, even — by her brush with celebrity, we disagree somewhat with her styling choices. The dress is nice, but those silver Jane Norman chav wedges have gots to go. She could have done without the £8.99 Camden Lock gypsy earrings and clashing pink lipstick as well.

But who are we to judge? She’s holding her own with Clooney where we would probably have just wet ourselves. And he’s obviously loving it. But will Amal let herself turn into another of Clooney’s red carpet rent-a-chicks? Stay strong Amal! Don’t get sucked into his ‘sexiest man alive’ games!

On a side note, we are incensed that the Daily Mail has referred to us as an ‘online poll’. Don’t they realize we’d never throw decisions of such import open to the hoi polloi? Sheesh.

Love the fact that all her colleagues and friends in the profession are winding her up and sending out mock mailonline gossip stuff.......hilarious

funny!

Just a thought...but what if this isn't what it looks like... we all assume G is buttering up top lawyers for one or other purpose; professional or private....but what if the reverse were the case.

What if they want something from the film star...film...satellite film ......he has oodles of it ...Get quid pro quo, George!

..jmo

I like your thought WWHS!

"quid pro quo" always good to learn new latin expression. Thank you wwhs!

I don´t think it can be "business/work".
Why?

Well, we have a thing called "dress code policy" and it applies evenings too. I´d be sacked if I went to see a customer with those earrings, dress and shoes and it was work related. No doubt about it.

Who I meet and how I dress in my own time - nobody cares.

No the dress code doesn't mean anything. During the day we have dress code policy too but when we got events in the evening or meet with a top client of ours I dress up too with a nice evening dress ect.....It is all business but still we all look like going out and have great expensive dinner and wine LOL.

This really isn't a Girls Girls Girls topic as Mazy said.  I think this was business related and had to do with Sudan so I'm going to move this thread to the humanitarian section.  

Maybe we can stick to that aspect instead of adding fuel to a non-existent fire.

If it turns out differently we can always move it back.

I'm just getting uneasy having this thread continue in this vein.  I don't think it's fair to the lady.

_________

I'm going to share with you why I locked the other thread.  I'm not picking on any particular person and frankly do NOT remember who said what but what started to concern me were the comments about her "ugly shoes" "her eyebrows" "the inappropriate dress."

These were comments that I felt were really uncalled for in relation to his having a dinner with a highly respected, knowledgable attorney.  And based on her background it would lead one to conclude that the dinner had to have been related to Sudan.

That she was starting to be picked upon physically and for her attire, which is still happening in this thread is disturbing.

I'm not one to say much about what anyone says about the women he dates that are of the trashy type.  They make their choices in life - i.e. the pictures that can be found of them on the internet so it's obviously they are in it for the fame and potential fortune.

I think it's really disrespectful to this particular woman to go into that type of conversation.  So that's why I'm asking that you think before you post.

Also given that she IS a lawyer, I wouldn't want anything posted here to potentially come back to kick Katiedot in the face.

So let's really think hard before we make comments about this particular person who just happened to be photographed coming out of a dinner with George.

Put yourselves in her shoes, ask yourself how long she had to study and work to be respected in her field and, if you were her, if you would appreciate some of the snarky comments that are starting to show up here.

Thanks.

very well said. "It is not fair to the lady". It is one thing when men always see woman as one of those chicks we shouldn't do the same especially with this kind of education this woman has. But i know it is easy to get carried away.

So i wonder if this was business if next year George is going to Sudan again or plans something different. Never know....

Thanks Lorna. That's why I referred to the Al Bashir thread, cos I'm totally convinced this is all it's about.

But have to confess the legal blogs from her peers that are out there now too amused me. I'm sure Miss Almuddin will see the funny side of it all

@Lornadoone ~ I agree.  Even before  her identity was revealed, I sensed that she seemed conservative & respectable, which is exactly what I wrote on the thread.
That's the impression she gave in the photos.

When her work profile & academic achievements were mentioned, I praised her.
Like many others, I didn't like the shoes, but that was all. I emphasized she was there for more important issues.
And if George decided to pursue her as a romantic interest, I wished him happiness.
 
But given Geoffrey Robertson was with them & her specialized field of expertise in human rights law, it became more apparent at this stage, that it was  a dinner discussion about critical issues.

I am fine with moving it but since i thought it was gossip and speculation I put it here. I am torn as to whether it was a date or business...

I moved the posts regarding the US Weekly Article to the Monica thread as it was more about her than Amal.

OK, just moving this to the news section of the forum because sightings of George out to dinner should be there and I don't think she belongs in the girlfriends section.
