46. sorry to hear that. however, trying to impress a girl who is young enough to be his daughter, really isn't all that attractive. my grandma used to say, "no FOOL like an OLD fool"...

48. That's what he gets for trying to pass a turning vehicle. I just wish everyone would quit telling him how handsome he is, he seems so conceited and vain.

50.
Sarah Larson is 28/29 years old and has worked at Palms hot spots Ghostbar and Moon nightclub for almost three years.
I believe she was also on the Fear Factor ? And ate a scorpian.
At least it looks like the same person to me. Maybe someone can confirm that.
She is very pretty and George looks very happy in photos I saw of them together, This might be the one to bring a little Clooney into the world.
Oh she is hated already lol.

52. Wow! I believe we all need to be praying for these two. Thankfully, it
wasn't worse than is stated on TMZ.
Life. It's a precious gift, no matter how big and famous you become,
things can still happen.
Again, well wishes for you, George. We sure don't want you going anywhere!
Take good care~

53. George Clooney Hurt in Motorcycle Crash

WEEHAWKEN, N.J. (AP) - George Clooney and a companion were injured on Friday when their motorcycle collided with a car on a narrow road across the Hudson River from New York City.
Clooney suffered a broken rib and scrapes while his passenger, Sarah Larson, broke her foot in the 3:30 p.m. collision. The two were treated at Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen and released, Clooney's spokesman, Stan Rosenfield, said.
"He's doing fine," Rosenfield said. "He has a broken rib, it's very painful and it'll take a long time to heal."
Clooney and Larson were traveling north and sped up to pass on the right of a 1999 Mazda Millenia that was preparing to make a right turn, said Weehawken police Sgt. Sean Kelly. Both were wearing helmets.
It wasn't known whether the Mazda's driver, whose identity was not immediately released, used a turn signal, Kelly said. The accident was under investigation.
"It's a he-said, she-said right now, but you can't pass on the right in Weehawken or anywhere in Jersey," Kelly said.
Rosenfield said the accident occurred when the vehicle signaled a left-hand turn, but turned right and struck Clooney's motorcycle.
"The car signaled left. George was riding to the right. The driver decided to make an abrupt right turn and clipped George," he said.
The 46-year-old actor was in the New York area to film the dark comedy "Burn After Reading," co-starring Brad Pitt , John Malkovich and Frances McDormand.
Clooney's recovery shouldn't interrupt the production's schedule, Rosenfield said.
Clooney's latest film, "Michael Clayton," will be released next month. He and Larson have been spotted together at several film festivals and movie premieres in recent weeks.

59. i much rather hear about him than all those sluts you always talk about
george you are too old for this, you look so much older than pitt, why dont you just come forward and tell us you are in your mid 50s
you friend is too skinny, i think that is a publicity stunt, i really do,
i think you are gay
you are handsome, self confident, in love with yourself, you think you are cool, but you are old now, and if i remember correctly you have a serious back injury
you act without responsibility on motor cycles, you probably were wrong, and thought you could cut him off
listen george, wise up or you will be another jfk jr. soon
