George Clooney stars in the Fox Searchlight film, “The Descendants,” playing a father left to care for his two daughters when his wife is hospitalized in a boating accident. Already charming and realistic, a hammer of a plot twist falls about halfway through the trailer, sending the story and his character in a whole new, compelling direction.
From Oscar-winner Alexander Payne (Sideways), the film, which co-stars Shailene Woodley, Beau Bridges, and Robert Forster, among others, hits theaters this fall.
George Clooney was recently interviews by CNN’s Piers Morgan, and he made one thing clear…he does not want to get married again.
“I hate to blow your whole news story, but I was married,” George told ‘Piers Morgan Tonight’ on Friday. “Yeah, so I’ve proven how good I was at it, and I just … I’m allowed one,” the 48-year-old actor-philanthropist said referring to his marriage to actress Talia Balsam from 1989 to 1993.
“Elisabetta had no idea he was going to say that,” a friend of the Italian beauty tells Pop Eater. “She thought she was going to be the girl who would finally get George to settle down and put a ring on it. She was totally surprised.”
Even the star’s dad, Nick, who was in the same interview, seemed surprised by his son’s answer on plans to walk down the aisle again, telling George, “I want you to think about that. I want you to think about … we’ve been married … Nina [George's mom] and I’ve been married 51 years.”
However, friends tell Pop Eater despite what George might say in public, Elisabetta won’t take no for an answer. “If he doesn’t ask her to marry him soon she will ask him,” an insider tells me. “And if he says no, well there are plenty more fish in the ocean.”
There may be other fish in the sea – but I doubt she’ll find anyone like George!
I wonder if he ever will marry – or if he just plays up this whole playboy image.

Armani spokeswoman Megan Fox and husband Brian Austin Green were also in attendance.
George Clooney is frustrated his campaign to highlight the genocide in Darfur hasn’t halted the ongoing killings – branding it “the greatest failure” of his life.
The Hollywood actor has long been involved with raising awareness of the conflicts in the Sudanese region of Darfur, where millions of refugees have allegedly been killed since 2003.
He was even granted a private meeting with President Barack Obama last year to talk about the Be A Voice For Darfur scheme, which aimed to push the White House into taking action in the African region.
The Sudanese government signed a ceasefire agreement with the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) in February – but it hasn’t stopped civilians being targeted. And Clooney is saddened by the continued violence.
He tells Britain’s The Sun, “I’ve been honoured to be able to lend my celebrity to help wherever I can, especially on behalf of the United Nations. But in the case of Darfur, it’s been the greatest failure of my life. With other people, we’ve been able to get a lot of attention focused on the terrible situation there and nothing has changed. It’s very frustrating.”
