When Clooney was turned down by a woman!

Hollywood star George Clooney was once turned down by Australian writer Kathy Lette after he propositioned her for sex.

Lette was writing sitcoms in the US in the 1980s and gave Clooney his first major acting role in 1987 but she admits the star asked her out on a date and she refused, reports celebrifi.com.

"I turned down George Clooney for sex. He was cute, and he asked me out! But there was always hostility between the writers and the actors, because the actors earned more. So I said, `I don`t go out with actors`," she said.

Lette later regretted the move as soon the hunk turned up on TV medical drama "ER".

George Clooney to marry his Italian girlfriend?

George Clooney may soon walk down the aisle with his Italian girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis.

According to sources, the actor has asked his lover to move into his main home Studio City pad in LA.

“George has really fallen for Eli and wants her back with him in LA on a permanent basis,” the Daily Express quoted a source as saying.

The insider added: “It’s obviously a big step, particularly as George has been such a free spirit for so long. But it seems she really could be the one for him. Whether she goes along with the idea remains to be seen.”

Canalis is already known to have become a near-permanent resident at his Lake Como home.

She is said to have given her approval to his new abode on the Adriatic.

Clooney parted ways with his ex-girlfriend, Sarah Larson, last year.
