George Clooney shows new love Elisabetta Canalis

With her successful career as a pin-up and TV presenter in her native Italy, Elisabetta Canalis must have thought her life couldn’t get much better.

And then she met George Clooney.

As they arrived at the Venice Film Festival onboard a speed boat last night, the 30-year-old Italian couldn’t have looked happier.

Clooney is at the festival to promote his new film Men Who Stare At Goats.

But he has spent the last two months with Elisabetta, since being introduced by a friend in Rome.
