That's a good question but it's again, not related to this topic. If you want to start a new thread that would make for interesting discussion.

Thanks.

@blubelle, we have already similar threads for that. Maybe have a look here

[size=48]I Cloo! At last, bachelor George Clooney is set to pop the question to new girlfriend[/size]

They say the American heartthrob has already spoken to Amal’s parents to ask permission for her hand in marriage.
Serial womaniser George, 52, has been dating the Lebanese-born British barrister, 36, since October last year.
And pals of the loved-up Oscar winner have claimed he will propose this year after admitting she is “the one”.
A source close to the Ocean’s Eleven star said: “George is completely besotted with Amal.
"She’s not like any other woman he’s been with before.
"She’s independent, intelligent, has her own fortune, is hugely successful in her own right – and is stunning-looking too.
“When he was introduced to her mother Baria and father Ramzi he made it clear his intentions were honourable and he wanted to marry her.
“George is even prepared to move to London to live with Amal, although he will keep his main home in Los Angeles.”
The couple recently returned from a romantic holiday to Tanzania and the Seychelles, before heading to Dubai so he could get to know her family better.
Amal, who is an adviser to former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, has also been introduced to all of George’s famous friends.
Clooney has had a string of high-profile relationships – among them model Lisa Snowdon and actresses Elisabetta Canalis and Stacy Keibler.
His four-year marriage to US actress Talia Balsam ended in divorce in 1993.
And until now he has always said he would never get married again.

I'll bet $ 100 that will not happen? Anybody want to bet? I believe that if George will marry with his caregiver when he will have more than eighty years!

I'd be happy to bet all the salary I've ever earnt or ever will earn that this won't happen.

Erm, but I'm not a gambling woman!

by Picachu Mon 21 Apr 2014, 08:47

the same story but a different girlfriend isnt it, since Sarah which is when i started following George im sure theres been a marriage story for each one - they need a new headline

by Alisonfan Mon 21 Apr 2014, 09:55

Wedding, it would be the only thing that would make this relationship a cut above the rest. Right now she is in the same boat as Larson and the rest.

by LornaDoone Mon 21 Apr 2014, 17:47

Now that's a picture, Sarah, Stacy, Eli and Amal in a boat drifting out to sea. Who'd survive the longest.... hm, okay it's off topic but I just couldn't resist. Anyone want to conjecture - start a new thread! :-)

by Maggy Mon 21 Apr 2014, 18:12

Survive doing what?

Stacy has moved on and is starting a family of her own.

by LornaDoone Tue 22 Apr 2014, 04:26

Survive period. It's a freaking boat out to sea.

Not literal.

Was meant to be funny.

by playfuldeb Tue 22 Apr 2014, 05:10

might be a slow boat to China

Why a slow boat to China? I don't get it. Is it bad or something like that?Why China particularly?

by party animal - not! Wed 23 Apr 2014, 19:33

It's part of the lyrics from a romantic song, Sevens, which goes 'I'd like to get you on a slowboat to Chine all to myself alone',,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Sevens wrote:Why a slow boat to China? I don't get it. Is it bad or something like that?Why China particularly?

It comes from an old song...."I'd like to get you,
on a slow boat to China.
All to myself alone"

Meaning......spending a long time, on a long journey, with the one you love !

by Joanna Wed 23 Apr 2014, 19:44

The "slow boat to China" refers to the three masted clipper ships, or tall ships, sailing to China
to collect the tea, in the old days before steam ships.
Per my hubby.....and me a sailors daughter !

Duh..... I'd forgotten that !

by bamboochacha Thu 24 Apr 2014, 01:10

She probably did some legal work for him overseas. Does he always date employees??? blech. LOL. NOOOOOO she's not the one for him - are you silly?

Wow that's romantic! Thanks a lot.
So welcome to China if George's on that boat! Very Happy

by Nicky80 Thu 24 Apr 2014, 08:09

I want to be on that boat too...of course only to see China Razz

by Katiedot Thu 24 Apr 2014, 11:27

Ok folks, can we get this thread back on topic please? Thanks!

by LornaDoone Thu 24 Apr 2014, 19:00

Well at this point Amal is the ONE he's not spending much time with. At least not to our (and most of the world media's) knowledge! Brahahahaha!

by Pita428 Fri 25 Apr 2014, 21:28

Wonder what Amal thinks of his brouhaha with Wynn?

by LizzyNY Fri 25 Apr 2014, 22:51

Wonder where she's hiding? Also, wonder if her mother still thinks he's such a good catch? Very Happy

by Catie Fri 25 Apr 2014, 23:07

Lorna you make me laugh with what you last wrote! Good question LizzyNY.

by party animal - not! Fri 25 Apr 2014, 23:16

Well, they're certainly not going to tell us.

Could be anywhere - leafy suburb near Heathrow possibly?

by LornaDoone Sat 26 Apr 2014, 00:40

Well she HAD to go back to work eventually.

Only way this one is going to work is if he marries her and she gets licensed here in the US. Or he moves to the UK.

Given the UK's high tax structure I think pigs will fly before he does that.

Sevens wrote:I think he's scheduled to attend some charity event on April 26th. So he'll soon be back in the US.

I don't think he will attend. As far as I understood he gave a price which can be auctioned which is in this case Lunch or Dinner. So on the 26th April so today they will auction it and announce the winner but I don't think he will be there. But of course I can be completely wrong and in few hours time we see smiling pics from him in Vegas heheheeh

party animal - not! wrote:With you on that one, Jo.

And would he seriously go to all that trouble of releasing pix from around the world with her if it was likely to be over in five minutes? It's not as if it's attached to a film release. The only reason I can think of why that might happen is the former girlfriend's news and I'd like to think h e's bigger than that.

The charity date is the auction at the Wynn place isn't it?

The event is at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Not sure if this is Wynn place.

Ok, we're going off topic here and I can see that this is a contentious issue, so I'm moving some of these later posts (about being happy that maybe George and Amal are no more) to a new thread where we can all work it out. Or not!

by What Would He Say Sat 26 Apr 2014, 11:51

Thanks Katie.... maybe poll by Sunday...jk

She is licensed in the US-- admitted to the NY bar according to her bio. No impediment there!

Not sure where to post this.....

An interesting blog dated 11 November 2013

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

While shuffling through Facebook’s newsfeed I noticed a lot of lebanese commenting on what seems like a relationship between George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin (I say seems like since it was only dinner after all); even radio stations have been mentioning it.

So my question is this: dear lebanese people, why are you so proud all of a sudden and your egoes boosted? Do you personally know any of the two? Are you somehow related to either of them? Why are you suddenly posting We lebanese are the best, G. Clooney knows it!
I’m really not sure as to how to react to this news, I never met either of them, I do watch G.C’s movies, but that doesn’t mean I know him enough to have the right to judge his life’s choices etc. All I can say is good for him, and that’s as far as I can go.
I might be the only one who really doesn’t care what actors/singers do in their day to day life (correct me if I’m wrong), but I think following their every move is some sort of legal stalking. I enjoy the songs and movies as much as anyone, but I’m not sure that includes me telling them what to do and what not to (of course I’m omitting actors and singers that act out to be seen and get feedback).
Personal life = personal life, not please share, judge and comment my every move.
Lately intimacy is unheard of, whether it be through Facebook, Twitter, Google, Instagram or any other means; our lives have become just another homepage for others to read and comment on.
The Internet generation seeks to be seen and heard (I seek to be read for example), but we choose what to share, how much, and in which occasions.
What about those people who don’t want to share their life online but become actors, good ones, and get followed by paparazzi that later spread their lives online for the eyes of everyone?
How would you feel if you didn’t want that to happen but you have no control over it, so you end up instead being judged by total strangers that know everything about your life?
Cool or not cool? Only you have the right to judge yourself.
T.

Well I think this question has now been asked and answered!!

by Sevens Sun 27 Apr 2014, 10:56

Get to Know George Clooney's Fiancée, Amal Alamuddin

The media have called her this. I think we have to change the description of Amal's section on this forum now.

by theminis Sun 27 Apr 2014, 10:58

Well I for one (and sure Nicky/Lorna) agree that we'd best let Katiedot have that honour!!
