The newest rumour in the celebrity world is Sir George Clooney and Paris Hilton are an item. Sir George is the hottest male celebrity over the age of 40 and this is the most unbelievable hookup of 2009.

Sir Georgeis 47 and is an Oscar-winning, two-time Sexiest Man Alive and he split from Las Vegas cocktail waitress Sarah Larson in May. Paris Hilton, 27, who called it quits with “best friend” Benji Madden in November has been spotted out with George twice in Los Angeles last month. 

The first sighting took place on Dec. 19 at the Whiskey Bar, where George and Paris supposedly chitchatted, downed drinks, flashed their pearly whites and maintained constant eye contact. 

Paris did her best to boost Australia’s economy by going on a shopping spree before her New Year’s Eve hosting gig in Sydney, even so, Paris and George definitely plan to get together in the New Year.

Hollywood silver fox, George Clooney has apparently split up with Sarah Lawson after nearly a year of dating.

George has reportedly left his LA home, while Sarah went in to remove her belongings.

A source close to the women’s favorite said, “The truth is that they had little in common and he just doesn’t want to be tied down.”

The couple met each other last year when George met the 29-year-old cocktail waitress at a bar in Las Vegas,

The pair then made several public appearances together, including this years Oscars – the first time George had ever brought a date before.

Early reports of an engagement were shot down by The ex-ER doctor, who is well known for his bachelor lifestyle.

A spokesperson said: “We have never commented on George’s personal life.”

So, we’ll give it 3 months before we either get a sex tape, or they get back together.
