George Clooney’s girlfriend, Sarah Larson said that she wouldn’t have dated the actor if he was a reality star. Yeah right.

“If George had been on a reality show, I don’t think I’d have talked to him,” she admits. “It would have been like, ‘That’s nice.’

“I don’t know,” adds Larson — a model who once starred on NBC’s Fear Factor. “He still wants to date me, and I ate a scorpion.”

Larson adds that despite the fact Clooney is one of the world’s most recognized faces, “he’s a normal person, like anyone else. He just happens to have a well-known face.”

And she also confessed that the couple were glued to marathons of VH1’s Rock of Love with Bret Michaels.

“We caught ourselves rooting for someone or getting frustrated,” Sarah says in June’s Harper’s Bazaar. “And we were like, ‘This is sad.’”

And on walking the red carpet with her famous beau? “It’s like a modeling job,” she says, “smiling and greeting people.”

When the couple met, she was already dating someone else….but he’s GEORGE CLOONEY. So all bets are off, right, ladies?

Christina Ricci ranks having to kiss a ghost as the most embarrassing thing she’s ever done.

The star appeared in the 1995 movie version of cartoon show Casper - and insists smooching the computer-generated spook was particularly daunting.

She tells MTV.com, “Kissing Casper was really embarrassing, because he was supposed to be see-through, so I had to make kissing faces, and I was 13, and I was so mortified. Oh that was terrible.”

Kelly Preston is opening up about what makes her 17- year marriage to John Travolta tick, and why she chooses not to live in the vortex of Hollywood.

“We don’t really live in L.A.,” Preston tells Extra. “We live in Florida. We’ve got our kids, do a lot of very normal things there. We ride golf carts, swim, rollerblade…We try to keep the family together as much as humanly possible.”

The Jerry Maguire star admits to having quite the shopping obession. “I love Target! I’m telling you, they have so many great things,” she gushes. “Kirstie Alley’s one of my best friends and we’ve gone in there and walked out with two shopping carts a piece. It’s crazy. It’s bad.”

Despite their low-key lifestyle in Florida, it’s no secret that Kelly’s still one half of a major Hollywood superstar couple. But the actress says when it comes to their careers, she and Travolta are on the same page.

“There’s no competition at all,” she says. “I married one of the biggest movie stars in the world. To even think about that would be silly. I’m so proud of him. He’s the greatest.”

So has their parents’ fame affected the couple’s kids, Ella and Jett? “They think it’s normal,” Kelly says. “They’ve grown up on sets. They’ve traveled with us all over the world shooting different locations. They’re very much used to it.”

Kelly says the acting bug has already bitten 8-year old daughter Ella. “Ella, Johnny and I just did a movie together that’ll be out next year called Old Dogs,” she explains. “We shot with Robin Williams. Had the best time.”

The actress says she’s not worried about her daughter being exposed to Hollywood’s negative influences because, “It’s all about choices. About instilling values…We don’t do drugs, I don’t drink. Johnny doesn’t really drink so she’s not around a lot of that, so I don’t think she’ll be as tempted to fall into that…She’s an amazing kid.

Preston, who is perhaps best known for her on-screen love scene in Jerry Maguire with good friend Tom Cruise, dishes on what it was like to shoot that scene.

“There’s always awkwardness!…But he’s a pro. I’m a pro. It was a completely closed set, very well written, shot fast,” she reveals.

Kelly defends her friend’s infamous couch jumping stunt on Oprah, saying, “To be honest, I felt sad that I live in a society where we can’t show pure joy if you’re excited. He’s passionate, so he showed some unbridled emotion. Good for him. It was just spun out of control.”

The couple wed in a sunset ceremony at Carey’s home in the Bahamas last Wednesday and 39-year-old Carey isn’t wasting any time baby-planning with her 27-year-old beau.

She tells the New York Daily News, “It’s part of the whole purpose of getting married. I’d just want our children to have the best childhood and upbringing they possibly could.”

Carey unveiled a new tattoo on her neck bearing her married name to chatshow queen Oprah Winfrey on 14 April (08), and admits only those who knew of her new inking were aware of their plans to wed.

She adds, “I don’t think anyone realized what we already knew, that we were going to get married.”

And rapper/actor Cannon reveals he was lost for words when the time came to say ‘I do’.

Cannon says of the surprise ceremony, “I haven’t been shy in years, but I was speechless. I was elated, but I was thinking, ‘Don’t pass out.’”
