Not Just A Sugar Daddy But A Father Figure Too
Italian model Elisabetta Canalis, who is best known for dating George Clooney, has revealed just what it was like to go out with the Oscar winner in a book about love. She contributed the insights to Italian journalist Bruno Vespa’s new book Questo Amore (This Love). She said that heartthrob Clooney, 50, was ‘the person who valued my feminine side the most’ and ‘also one of the best people I have met from a charitable point of view. George is a real gentleman even in his private life. I was very much respected both as a woman and partner.’
The 33-year-old also cleared up the rumours that it was her desire for marriage and children that eventually drove a wedge between the two. ‘George and I never spoke of marriage nor of having kids,’ she says. ‘I don’t put limits to the possibility of having them, but neither George nor I had ever envisaged having kids together. The end of the relationship was not caused by a marriage issue, but instead by our personal needs.’ But not all her comments were complimentary. ‘He has been a special for me, and very important, just as a father would be.

Chris says being married to Gwyneth Is Like Winning The Lottery
Putting rumours of relationship troubles to rest, Coldplay’s Chris Martin has spoken for the first time about his marriage to actress Gwyneth Paltrow saying being married to the Oscar winner is  ‘like winning the lottery’. The notoriously private singer and musician, 34, was talking to Anthony Mason for CBS Sunday Profile when he was asked about his relationship. When the presenter asked Chris if it was true that his relationship with Gwyneth, 39, was his first serious relationship, he replied ‘That’s right. I’m in it.’ When Anthony said that it was pretty unusual that Chris hadn’t had any serious relationships and noticed that it was a big leap to then go out with Gwyneth, Chris  replied ‘It’s a big leap? What, from being a loser, to going out with an Oscar winner? It’s a giant leap. Let’s face it; it’s like winning the lottery, I was happy to make it,’ he said laughing. But he then clammed up about his private life saying ‘we still just try to keep that whole thing quiet.’  Read more... (836 words, 6 images, estimated 3:21 mins reading time)
