Now this is a surprise - of sorts. Perhaps he wanted a change from European presenter/models by grappling an ex-wrestler for a spell. Or maybe it's just yet another clear indication that he's fast warming up his Hugh Hefner housecoat...

Brace yourselves. George Clooney has reportedly rebounded from his failed relationship with Elisabetta Canalis with former WWE wrestler Stacy Keibler. Yes, believe it or not, that used to "wrestle". Chyna could indeed break her with her pinkie...  Anyway, the 50-year-old actor split with Canalis after a furious row at his Italian villa in June, and has apparently already moved on with Keibler, 31, who appeared on the second season of Dancing With The Stars.

Here comes the obvious bit: "'It's more than just a fling," a source told Us Weekly, adding that they have known each other for 'four or five years' and recently 'reached out to one another through a mutual friend'. 'They're basically exclusive at this point. They like each other's sense of humour. Obviously they're both physically attracted to one another.' The couple have been spotted enjoying each other's company in London at Clooney's Lake Como pad, but according to a second source, they don't plan to go public any time soon. 'I don't see her hitting any the red carpets with him,' added the mole."

Good idea, you see, that's where he went wrong with Canalis; he walked a few red carpets with her so she assumed they were bound for wedded bliss and babies. Although I can't see a twiglet blonde ex-wrestler who's gone to the trouble of appearing on Dancing With The Stars being happy with that, so she'll be pregnant within six months. Unless George has employed the preemptive measure of getting this vas deferens knotted... Either way, it's going to end up a bit sticky.
