On Aug. 6 after attending the hit Cirque du Soleil show, Love, George and Ellen were spotted holding hands and walked towards his hotel room. A couple days later, the couple dined with producer Jerry Weintraub at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino, but had eyes only for each other; a source on the set tells Star. A pal of Clooney’s tells Star, “He is really smitten with Ellen. He thinks she is incredibly sexy.� George’s rep denies the story.
In other news, George Clooney was terrified he had caught malaria during a visit to Darfur.
The 'Ocean's Thirteen' actor - who has visited the war-torn region several
times - thought he had contracted the deadly disease during his latest trip
to the African country last month.
The 45-year-old actor was reportedly complaining of weight loss and
exhaustion, which are common symptoms of the disease.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "George was very thin and
exhausted for a time.
"But he is the consummate professional and never complained."
However, Clooney was relieved when it turned out he was simply suffering
from food poisoning.
His publicist said: "George does not have malaria, but he felt like he had
the effects of it at one point. It was food poisoning from the flight back
from Darfur."
