It was a week of parties in Tinseltown this week with everything from babies to (appropriately) birthdays being celebrated. Stars dressed up in their very finest million dollar dresses, suits, and jewelry to attend some of the very classiest, and not so classy, affairs. And as always, the paparazzi were there to catch all of it! Here were the hot spots in Hollywood this week.
Of the two most popular baby showers this week, there was the shower for Jamie Lynn Spears. Sister Britney flew in for it and even though there were still those that were still trying to find something wrong with Britney, really the worse thing she did was smoke. It was nice that she was able to make it to celebrate the coming of her sister’s child. Jamie Lynn looked very happy too!
But that wasn’t the only baby shower this week. Tori Spelling also had a baby shower to prepare for welcoming her second little one. I’m sorry but aren’t you only supposed to have a baby shower for your first? Isn’t it considered a cash grab after that point?
And George Clooney was beaming with girlfriend Sarah Larson on his arm at the birthday party that Giorgio Armani threw for him. But they weren’t the only power couple there. Others included Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes as well as Victoria and David Beckham.
…Apparently, Larson wasn’t actually the one doing the snagging. Clooney was the one to go looking for her, after she began working in a different nightclub in Vegas. The first time she had met him, Larson had a different boyfriend, then last year the two met up again. A month afterwards, he invited her to go to Italy with him. See, ladies, dreams do come true! From People:
“From cocktail waitress to A-list girlfriend – Sarah Larson is living the dream.
Now the former Fear Factor winner is opening up about how she snagged George Clooney, one of the planet’s most eligible bachelors.
Although it’s been widely reported that the two met at the June 2007 Ocean’s Thirteen premiere at the Palms Casino Resort on Las Vegas, she says they actually met much earlier.
“It was on his birthday three or four years ago at Whiskey at [Vegas’s] Green Valley Ranch,” Larson says, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal.
The actor was with a group of pals, including Whiskey Bar owner Rande Gerber (Cindy Crawford’s husband). “I was with some friends. We were all dancing, taking pictures, being silly.”
At the time, Larson worked as a cocktail server at the venue – but she was dating someone else.
Then, when Clooney arrived in Vegas for the Ocean premiere last summer, “he heard I was working at Moon [nightclub].” The actor tracked her down, she says, and “we hung out.” A month later, he invited her to go to Italy.
As their one-year anniversary approaches, Clooney and Larson can certainly look back on a very eventful year.
They’ve survived a motorcycle crash. They’ve ruled the red carpet at film festivals and the Academy Awards. And, the Review Journal reports, she’s even met his parents.
Next up for the couple? Clooney, who turns 47 next month, will whisk Larson away for a vacation at his Italian villa.
It’s a trip, she said, that could help her burgeoning modeling career. (The 28-year-old recently strutted her stuff in a swimsuit in an Ashley Paige fashion show. She also modeled a Pucci gown – and $500,00 worth of diamonds – in Los Angeles this week.) “We’ll be in Como,” she says, “which isn’t that far from Milano.”
The Leatherheads star is very supportive of her career, she added.
“Your boyfriend better be,” she noted. “If they aren’t, you gotta kick ‘em in the butt and walk away.”"
Sarah Larson seems to have a great attitude about her blossoming relationship with the actor, not to mention, she gives the rest of us something to hope for. The Cinderella story of the cocktail waitress, and the sexiest “older man” actor since Sean Connery and Richard Gere combined is so incredibly Disney fairy tale. This is definitely a relationship I hope to see work out!
George Clooney has been busy dashing the hopes of fans everywhere in their search for more gossip. First he told Ryan Seacrest on the Red Carpet for the Oscars that he did not buy a house in Malibu for his girlfriend, Sarah Larson. But now the speculation has come up that he has been asked to be the godfather of his friend, Nicole Kidman’s baby that she is having with country singer star, Keith Urban. Contact Music reports,
“GEORGE CLOONEY’s representative has dismissed rumours the star has been asked to act as godfather for NICOLE KIDMAN’s as-yet-unborn baby with country star KEITH URBAN. The 46-year-old was reportedly asked by the Australian actress to be her first biological child’s godfather, allegedly stating her The Peacemaker co-star would “be ideal” in the role. But Clooney’s long-standing representative Stan Rosenfield has laughed off the claims, stating Kidman has definitely not asked the actor to be the child’s religious guide. He says, “They are friends,but George was not asked to be the godfather.”
Clooney has also denied rumours that he would be returning to the show ER. Now, wouldn’t that be something? All they would need then is Noah Wyle back on set and I might start watching that show again.
