George Clooney and Italian beauty Elisabetta Canalis are getting serious. A friend who spent New Year’s with them at Cabo San Lucas in Mexico, said, “I’ve never seen George so serious about a girlfriend before. They were really happy together.” Our source adds, “But George is still preoccupied with the paparazzi covering his love life. He kept going on and on about how we need more laws to ban them. It’s like he’s obsessed.” Also at Cabo were Bar Refaeli and Leonardo DiCaprio, officially back together.
