The “are they – or aren’t they” rumors are finally confirmed. YES, George Clooney and actress Stacy Keibler ARE dating. The two have been dating under the radar for the last couple months, and this is their first public appearance as a couple. At last night’s New York Film Festival premiere of The Descendents, George proudly stepped out with his new lady.

The couple began quietly dating in late summer after Clooney split with ex-girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis.

32-year-old Keibler looked amazing last night, in a tight black dress. Clooney, 50, kept his arm tightly around her waist as they posed for pictures.

After Keibler departed the carpet, her Oscar-winning man was fairly mum about their hot romance, although he did tell us Weekly he’d never go for a stint on Dancing With the Stars as Keibler (and Canalis) both did. “I’m a terrible dancer!”

He also gushed about his legendary, romantic home on Lake Como in Italy. “It’s one of the most beautiful places in the world!”

Two weekends ago, the twosome celebrated former WWE Diva’s birthday with a weekend trip to Cabo San Lucas. “Chasing the last days of ‘summer,’” Keibler Tweeted, calling the view from her pool “paradise.”

Famous for hanging off the arm of George Clooney, his now ex, Elisabetta Canalis is sharpening her claws in rage over his current flame, former WWE wrestler, Stacy Kiebler.

Elisabetta was disgusted that George had replaced her with the younger 31 year old after only a month and a half so she’s let them have it by sending nasty texts and emails to George, telling him and Stacy where they can go, in a round-about way!

“That girl [Elisabetta] has a nasty streak and one quick temper. She cannot accept the fact that George is happy and he enjoys Stacy’s company and her positive outlook. He takes her everywhere with him and loves to show her off. Elisabetta needs to get used to the idea because George is smitten and this could be it for him,” says a source from Clooney’s camp.

George and Stacy have turned the other cheek and are ignoring the ex’s jealous rants. The Ides of March star has been busy planning a birthday surprise for Stacy where he will whisk her away for a month long vacation together at his villa on Lake Como. “They are enjoying their time together and they are the happiest they’ve ever been,” says the insider.

I guess that means Elisabetta is scratched from the Christmas card list this year.

I won’t make a joke about finding Carmen San Diego.

Evan Rachel Wood, George Clooney and Marisa Tomei walked the red carpet last night at the The New York screening of “The Ides of March” held at the Ziegfeld Theater.

Has George Clooney finally found ‘the one’? According to media reports, George’s friends were surprised that the silver fox has settled down and become so taken with his new lady, Stacey Keibler.

Accompanying George to the Toronto International Film Festival, Stacy fit in well with his A-list lifestyle.

“In Toronto she was the perfect date. When he needed to do business, she occupied herself and when they were at the Grey Goose and Soho House pop-up part, she was able to spark her own interesting conversations — all of which George finds very attractive.”

And when they are alone together, the insider says, George seems equally smitten. “There’s not a lot of game playing.” Adds a pal: “If things remain drama-free, it’s possible she’ll be the one who finally tames him!”

Evan Rachel Wood has upped her performance game since covering Justin Bieber in a Chinese karaoke bar — because last week, she sang for an A-list crowd including George Clooney!

The 23-year-old actress took the mic at the after-party for “The Ides of March” premiere at the Venice Film Festival last Wednesday, where she performed the classic 4 Non Blondes hit “What’s Up?” for a crowd including co-star Clooney and actress Robin Wright.

Wood, who sang in the film “Across the Universe” and once covered Bieber’s “Baby”, absolutely killed it … all while wearing a gorgeous Alessandra Rich gown.

After watching the video on TooFab, 4 Non Blondes singer Linda Perry says Evan did “Pretty damn good.”

Look at all the beautiful people! Marisa Tomei is wearing a Preen Fall 2011 ensemble. Evan Rachel Wood wore a suit by Dolce & Gabbana.

I’d like to know where costar Ryan Gosling is, however. He has a lead in the political drama… NY Times also noticed Ryan’s absense, and dug a little deeper!

Ryan Gosling raised eyebrows at the Venice Film Festival yesterday with his conspicuous absence from the premiere of “The Ides of March.” Gosling doesn’t just star in the film, as a press secretary seduced by Washington’s dark side, he’s directed by George Clooney (who plays the candidate.) Given Clooney’s status in Hollywood, one insider noted that Gosling’s failure to show was a “big deal,” especially since co-stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Evan Rachel Wood and Marisa Tomei made it to the red carpet.

Gosling’s work in the period crime flick “The Gangster Squad” has been reported as the reason he didn’t attend, and his rep explained to us that although shooting doesn’t begin until Sept. 6, Gosling has be in rehearsals “every day.” As for how Clooney felt about not having his leading man at the premiere, his rep did not respond by our deadline.
