When Michelle came to the “big city” this past weekend, I knew I would show her a good time. But I didn’t know that by the end of the weekend we would be just one degree of separation from George Clooney. I personally am not that hot & bothered by him, but being close to celebrities never hurts, does it?
Elisabetta Canalis, his current girlfriend, was seated just behind us at the restaurant. I first noticed her come in because there was a girl with her hair in a bun and what can only be described as a kilo of eye makeup on, very out of place for the location and how she was dressed, quite casual. I then realized who it was, and any doubt we had was removed when she took off her jacket and we saw her recognizable tattoo on her right bicep.
Here’s a pic of her from behind. My paparazzi skills don’t go beyond this, and I frankly didn’t think it necessary

Yeah I don’t think we have much of a future in paparazzi-ing. I totally didn’t even think of it at the time, but I could’ve borrowed her purse (mere inches from my foot through dinner) and offered up her carta d’identità for a photo…ahem.
White T-shirt/black bra…..Italian fashion sense
she’s blond now?
Too funny. I <3 how you said "current girlfriend" tee hee
Whoops…am i just noticing now you changed your theme?! That’s what happens when I read everything in Google Reader.
I couldn’t pick her out of a line up so I’m impressed you could! It would’ve been more exciting had George been with her!
@tracie – I would say she’s “caramel” – that’s the color I think all non-blond celebrities strive for like JLo, Beyonce, etc. She’s obviously spent a decent time in America – no Italian woman would be caught dead with the “bun & run” hairstyle she’s got going on.
@Mel – this is actually a sub-blog – not the same WP installation as the main Ms. Adventures in Italy
Glad to see faux celebraties slumming it with the rest of us or you as the case may be.
I just don’t can’t imagine her at the 24 hour gas bar havinmg a free coffee with a fill up.
About the black bra with the white T, trailer trash look, not so good.
Me I like to go out wearing my T shirts inside our and backwards.
