Didn't George Clooney's girlfriend do an interview the other day? Isn't that the kiss of death for any Clooney girlfriend?

Well, The Clooney did banish the lady Sarah Larson from his fairy tale castle soon after she did a pair of 2008 interviews, one with a Las Vegas paper, the other with Harpers.
Still, Clooney's breakup pattern seems to have less to do with yapping, and more with the content of said yapping. So should Elisabetta Canalis have watched her Italian mouth?
Well, here's what she said:
"If you are loved, you always feel beautiful," Canalis told Italian Vanity Fair this week. "It's the idea of being loved like this which really surprises me." She also described Clooney as "the person thanks to which my life has regained color. I feel good, I feel light. Like when I was 18 years old."
So why is that dangerous?
Well, The Clooney, he apparently does not like to get too close to his ladies, much less get tied down. After he split from one Kimberly Russell back in 1996, Russell was quoted as saying, "We'd been together for over three years and I wanted a family," she said. He, she added, did not.
Another onetime flame, Lisa Snowdon, also apparently split from Clooney under similar circumstances.
"It was actually Lisa who ended it, although it was all very amicable," a "friend" later dished, in a quote that was picked up by the London Daily Mail. "It was obvious that it was never going to move to the next level, and eventually that can only mean a split. And the physical separation was just a constant pain and strain, too."
And then there was former Fear Factor contestant Sarah Larson. After she and The Clooney broke up, an insider told InTouch: "George is relieved to be single again. The truth is they had little in common, and he just doesn't want to be tied down."
As for Clooney himself, he described his attitude toward girlfriends this way, in a quote repeated by the Toronto Star last year: "I don't like to feel that I'm being hunted down. I always liked to do my own hunting."
So is Canalis next on the ex list, given the complacent statements she made? It all depends on whether Clooney sees the remarks as adorable—or clingy.
