And yes, you can see right through her dress…maybe should have worn black undies?

Don’t know what The Fantastic Mr. Fox is? Me either! Here’s what I found:

The Fantastic Mr. Fox is visionary director Wes Anderson’s first animated film, utilizing classic handmade stop motion techniques to tell the story of the best selling children’s book by Roald Dahl.

Mr and Mrs Fox (Clooney and Streep) live an idyllic home life with their son Ash (Schwartzman) and visiting young nephew Kristopherson (Eric Anderson). But after 12 years, the bucolic existence proves too much for Mr Fox’s wild animal instincts. Soon he slips back into his old ways as a sneaky chicken thief and in doing so, endangers not only his beloved family, but the whole animal community. Trapped underground and with not enough food to go around, the animals band together to fight against the evil Farmers – Boggis, Bunce and Bean – who are determined to capture the audacious, fantastic Mr Fox at any cost.

George Clooney’s romance with Italian TV personality Elisabetta Canalis is heating up. According to a pal, the 48-year-old bachelor is so smitten that he recently presented her with a ring. It’s not an engagement ring — but it is a sign they’re getting serious. As In Touch first reported, George invited Elisabetta, 31, to move into his Studio City, Calif., home and now that she’s there, he’s spoiling her rotten. In addition to slipping the Cartier diamond on her finger, George also bought the European beauty a Hermés Kelly bag and countless pairs of designer shoes. “Every day is like Christmas at George’s house for Elisabetta,” says his buddy, adding, “He’s even looking at a Maserati. He’s had a great life for a long time, but she seems to make him very happy.”

31 year old Canalis is an Italian model and actress. A popular personality on Italian television, Canalis had very minor roles in the films Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo and Virgin Territory.  And she lands a Clooney? Lucky biotch.

Man, that arm band tattoo looks so stupid! That was the worst tattoo craze – if you ask me.

His hand still bandaged from a motoring accident last month, George Clooney was spotted arriving in Venice Monday sporting something that’s all the rage in Italian trends — TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis.

The day before the premiere of his movie, “Men Who Stare at Goats,” the couple — who landed at Venice’s Lido Nicelli Airfield Monday evening — made a grand arrival at the Venice Film Festival following a water taxi ride across the city’s lagoon, prompting Italian papers to gush over the pair as the next Brad and Angelina.

Clooney, 48, and the woman better known to local media as “La Canalis” or simply “Eli” have been inseparable the past three weeks, spending much of their time at his lakeside village in Como.

Most of their meals are taken at home, with Clooney’s cook firing up homemade pizzas in a wood-fire oven and much of their free time spent lounging by the pool in his secluded garden or on Clooney’s boat.

On the two rare occasions where she’s been seen without the handsome actor on her arm, Eli went shopping in Milan and had her locks trimmed, and went to the Milan headquarters of Italian MTV, where she works as the host of “Total Request Live” and will present MTV Day 2009 in Genoa on Sept. 12 — coincidentally, her birthday.

Clooney was introduced to his new amore in Rome, but apparently carried a torch for Eli even while still dating Sarah Larson — the first girlfriend to accompany him to the Oscars.

According to actor Alessandro Siani, who costarred with Canalis in a 2006 Italian movie called “Christmas in New York,” a mysterious car would follow Siani and Eli every day after filming, when Siani accompanied her back to the hotel where they were staying.

“One day I finally decided to go over and confront the occupants of the car. I went over and to my surprise, who was sitting in the car? George Clooney!” Siani told an Italian magazine. “This isn’t a new fling.”

George Clooney is gearing up for a legal war in Italy — claiming invasive paparazzi climbed over the wall of his Italian home and shot a topless photo of a 13-year-old girl changing in one of his guest rooms.

The photographer also took shots of Clooney and his girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis enjoying private moments in the yard of his estate.

The photos were published in two magazines — and in a statement to TMZ, Clooney says he’s gunning to sue both the mags and the photog who took the pictures.

“We’re suing two magazines AND a photographer. I don’t know about the law in the United States but in Italy it’s illegal for photographers to climb over my wall and to take long lens pictures of a 13-year-old girl in her bedroom.

I draw the line of privacy at that.”

Many women fantasize about dating George Clooney, but gorgeous Italian TV personality Elisabetta Canalis made hers reality – although it took her a couple of years.

According to Tuscany-born private chef Michele Gargani, Elisabetta has been after George since the summer of 2007. That’s when he sat at a table next to Elisabetta, 30, at All’Angelo in LA.

“Elisabetta was with a group of friends, and they were all speaking Italian,” Gargani tells In Touch. “She went on and on about how she loved being in Hollywood, but that her dream was to meet and date George Clooney.”

Gargani adds that when he asked Elisabetta to pose for a photo with him, she even asked if he knew the movie star! “It looks like she got her wish!”
