A REAL ex finally speaks! Thanks Sillygirl for this:
Anyone else thinking from these comments that Karen Duffy has met Amal in person? If so, when? At Como in the summer?

Karen Duffy Plans to Gift George Clooney a Whoopee Cushion Cover for His Wedding
By LIZ MCNEIL
05/04/2014
Since the news first broke that George Clooney was engaged to Amal Alamuddin, many have wondered what to buy the glamorous couple for a wedding present.
But according to good pal Karen Duffy, a.k.a. Duff, not everyone will be shopping at Tiffany's.
At Saturday's EIF Revlon Run/Walk for Women, the model and longtime spokesperson for the brand told PEOPLE she had a much more creative idea.
"I have a tradition where I make needlepoint whoopee cushion covers and bring it to his house," jokes Duff, who's known Clooney, 52, for about 18 years.
Keep up with George Clooney in the pages of PEOPLE Magazine by subscribing now.
"His beautiful home has several of my needlepoints and when you sit on it, it sounds like a tugboat fart."
Still, the former MTV VJ – who briefly dated Clooney – says he shouldn't worry: "I'm sure my husband [John Lambros], who is far more dignified, will find something."
As for her friend's engagement, Duff, 51, says, "It really is a blessing when two people who are so full of dignity and kindness and really live to make the world a better place get together. It's going to be double in their efforts so I'm really happy for them."
But there's one person at her house who had to think about it a bit.
"The one person who is a little bit upset was my son," says Duff. "I was like, 'Uncle George is going to be walking the plank with Amal.' At first he said, 'Good for them.' Then he was like, 'But I really love being his favorite kid.' "
Duff explained that nothing would change that – for the moment. "I told him, 'You'll always be his favorite kid until he has kids of his own.' "
Of Alamuddin, Duff raves: "She's incredible. Truly he is the coolest dude and the greatest friend. They're both hilarious."
She continues, "What I love about George is that he grew up in a family where essentially if you do something good and anybody finds out about it, it doesn't count. So you never hear about what he's doing in Darfur, or what he's doing for displaced people as a U.N. Messenger of Peace. So together with his beautiful bride-to-be, I think they are going to be an amazing force for good."

Wow, what lovely comments from her. They're such good friends aren't they? And he really feels for her. I think she lives in NYC, but owns the farm upcountry somewhere where they shot Fantastic Mr Fox. So they could have met several times..........
Don't remember seeing any shots of her in Como last year, but that doesn't mean she wasn't there...........

From Karen Duffy...."She continues, "What I love about George is that he grew up in a family where essentially if you do something good and anybody finds out about it, it doesn't count.
So you never hear about what he's doing in Darfur, or what he's doing for displaced people as a U.N. Messenger of Peace. So together with his beautiful bride-to-be, I think they are going to be an amazing force for good"
Eat your heart out gossip writers...
Those remarks from a friend who knows George very well say it all to me.
