George Clooney shows off girlfriend at Venice Film Festival

7 September 2007 - George Clooney premiered his new girlfriend at the Deauville and Venice Film Festivals.

The 'Ocean's Thirteen' star was joined on the red carpet at both events by 28-year-old cocktail waitress Sarah Larson, who he met when she was working at Las Vegas' Moon nightclub in June.

The couple have been inseparable since Larson flew to France to join Clooney, 46, for the Deauville Film Festival on September 1.

At the after-party for the actor's new movie 'Michael Clayton' at Venice's Hotel Cipriani this week the Hollywood star couldn't keep his hands off Larson.

A fellow partygoer said: At one point he just leaned over and kissed her on the lips. My God, she is stunning.

Top jeweller's Bulgari confirm the $3 million worth of diamonds Larson was leant for the evening were requested for George Clooney's girlfriend.

The happy couple dined with Clooney's 'Ocean's Thirteen' co-star Matt Damon, his wife Luciana and five other friends at the L'Auberge de l'Abbaye restaurant in Beaumont-en-Auge last week.

But when an artist who met Clooney at the Hotel Cipriani offered to do a wedding portrait, the actor instantly replied: Don't say weddings around me. No weddings!
