A Clooney-Eyed View of Fantastic Mr. Fox's World Premiere
Finally, here is the man of the evening: The impossibly debonair George Clooney, who arrived with his girlfriend, Italian TV personality Elisabetta Canalis, on his arm. They were savoring each other's company, save perhaps for a brief moment of tense confusion, that we imagined played out something like this:
George: Didn't you say you were bringing the tickets?
Elisabetta: What? No. You say at hotel, 'Lisa, I got tickets. We go!'
George: I'm almost positive you said something about how 'you'd think a €25,000 handbag would have room to fit two tickets.'
Elisabetta: Don't pull this on me, Georgie. I never even saw the tickets.
George: Well maybe I can talk my way in.
Elisabetta: I hope so.
George: You're beautiful when you're angry. Anyone ever tell you that?
Elisabetta: Kiss me, you ridiculous fool. ♦
