Lisa Snowdon - George Clooney's model girlfriend reveals her striking winter
look
These stunning black and white photographs show just why one of the world's most desirable bachelors has fallen for a 25 yr old
girl from Essex. Model Lisa Snowdon and Hollywood actor George Clooney have been inseparable ever
since they met three months ago on the set of a Martini advert in Spain. And with her glossy, long brown hair, willowy figure and
smouldering looks, its no wonder 39-yr old George has fallen head over heels for the British model.
Soon after meeting, Lisa accepted an invitation to spend a week at the actor's luxury home in Los Angeles. While in the
States, the model enjoyed meeting a string of George's friends as the couple hosted barbecues on his
back lawns. She also visited the set of the hit US comedy Friends and danced the night away at the popular nightspot, the
Sunset Room.
George, who made his name as Dr Doug Ross in ER and who has also appeared in a host of acclaimed films, including Out of Sight and
Three Kings, has also visited Lisa in her native country. The couple recently spent a
highly-publicised evening out at London's top celebrity restaurant The Ivy.
George and Lisa caused such a media stir that they were forced to make a dramatic escape through the restaurant's kitchen.
Lisa appears to be the actor's first serious relationship since he split up from French law student Celine Balitran in 1999
following a 3-yr relationship. Although he has been linked to a number of women, including
husky TV presenter Mariella Frostrup, George has spent much of the past year hanging out with his close-knit circle of male friends
and playing with his pet pot-bellied pig, Max.
The relatively unknown Lisa has appeared in a string of commercials, including Special K cereal. She caused a stir when she
starred in a raunchy TV advert for Faberge fragrance Addiction in which, wearing just her
underwear, she kissed and fed a male model. Lisa admitted that her parents were a bit shocked by the advert. "The first time my
parents saw it, they did say "Crikey Lisa, its a bit steamy!". But now they've watched it a few
times they really like it."
The statuesque brunette is very close to her family and recently treated them to a luxury holiday in America with her modelling
earnings. "It was fantastic fun. It was nice to indulge mum and dad. They did so much in the
early days, like paying my train fare when I was just starting out.". Lisa added " I am a very family-oriented person who has
been brought up to believe in family values."

And a smaller article from the same issue :
George Clooney - O, Brother, Thank God He Didn't Sing He may be the sexiest man alive, he may be a great
actor and he may be a nice guy, but there's one thing George Clooney can't do - he can't sing. The
actor was supposed to sing his own tunes for the film O, Brother Where Art Thou? , for which he's just got a Golden Globe
nomination, so the film's directors - Joel and Ethan Coen - got him into a recording studio to lay
down the tracks and lip-sync during filming. He was meant to sing two blues tracks, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the Coens
knew they'd made a mistake. "We were both staring at our shoes out of embarrassment" says Joel.
Thankfully, George realised his shortcomings. "I decided it would be easier to do a passionate lip-sync on film." He wasn't taking
any chances, however. The nexy day, he returned to the studio to make sure all traces of his
singing had been erased from the tape. The fun we could have had with that....

by Rav Singh
Here's George Clooney out on the town with the new girlfriend pals are already tipping as his future wife.
The Hollywood heart-throb has been dating British beauty Lisa Snowdon for just two months.
But friends say he is so smitten he wants her to move into his New York apartment. One source said: “They love each other so much and are constantly
in touch by phone.
“Lisa is even planning to move to Manhattan where George has his place. She is hoping the move will happen soon so they can enjoy life together just
like any other couple.
“They’re very serious about each other and it’s only a matter of time before
wedding bells are in the air.
“It’s not just lust. They’re always stroking each other or holding hands. It’s really sweet.”
Perfect Storm star George, 39, flew in to Britain earlier this week to see MTV presenter Lisa.
He took the 26-year-old Essex girl for a romantic meal at The Ivy on Thursday night. On Friday, they hit the West End again, this time partying
at the Opium bar.
The News Of The World broke the exclusive story of their romance in November. The couple met at a shoot for a Martini advert.
Lisa shot to fame as a 34D-24-35 lingerie model, going on to play the gorgeous bikini-clad girl in the Special K cereal telly ads.

Lisa makes Clooney Swooney
by Nigel Pauley
Hollywood hunk George Clooney looks set to enjoy his just desserts after a meal out with his Essex Girl lover.
Gorgeous George, 39, and stunning bra model Lisa Snowdon, 25, had a night on the town - but not for long.
After a quick bite at London's trendy Ivy restaurant, the couple opted for an early night at Former ER heart-throb George's luxury hotel suite.
And they were in such a hurry to get back to the Dorchester that they couldn't wait for their chauffeur-driven limo to arrive.
They hopped in the back of a black cab outside the restaurant and dashed back to the hotel.
And that's hardly surprising because Lisa admits that she likes nothing better than ending a meal with some nookie.
Harlow-born Lisa claims that she didn't need to diet because sex helped keep her in shape.
She once confessed: "I eat what I like....I smoke and I drink, but I love running off in the middle of the day to make love. It really burns up the
calories."
Celebrity snapper Greg Brennan said: "They arrived at the Ivy in a chauffeur-driven limo shortly after 9pm. They didn't exactly have a slap-up
meal because they didn't stay much more than an hour.
"Instead of waiting for their limo to return they jumped into a taxi cab - they seemed like a couple in a big hurry.
"It's rare for such a big star as George to use a cab, it's bad for their image and they normally wait for a limo. They definitely weren't interested
in moving on to a club - and George didn't seem bothered about his image.
"They were back at their hotel before 11pm.
"You cannot blame George for wanting to get Lisa back to his suite - she looked gorgeous." It was the first time the couple have been pictured
together in England - but pals confidently predicted it won't be the last.
And it proves that the beauty from Harlow could be the girl who finally nets Tinsel Town's most eligible bachelor.
Lisa, who has a 34D bust, met George - dishy doc Doug Ross in medical saga - on the set of a commercial for Martini two months ago.
He was stirred by the stunning babe....and she was shaken when he asked her out.

Look who turned up at Clooney and Lisa's first date
by Alison Boshoff
It was an awkward moment which tested George Clooney’s diplomacy to the full. Dining out with his new girlfriend in London for the first time, he
spotted his ex sitting across the restaurant.
The new girl in his life is Lisa Snowdon, a little-known model from Welwyn Garden City. The old flame was Mariella Frostrup, the TV presenter not known
for her shy and retiring nature.
For lesser mortals, the encounter might have been cause for indigestion. But Clooney, frequently voted the most desirable man in the world, defused
the moment with panache.
A fellow diner at The Ivy, London’s most celebrity-packed restaurant, said: ‘He carried it off beautifully. He went over and kissed Mariella on the
cheek and they had a very smiley conversation. Then he went and sat back down with his date.’
The 39-year-old Hollywood heartthrob has embarked on a hot romance with Miss
Snowdon, 25, a leggy brunette best known for commercials for Special K cereal and Addiction perfume.
The date at The Ivy on Wednesday was their first public appearance this side of the Atlantic. They left through the kitchens
to avoid photographers before returning to his suite at the Dorchester.
Miss Snowdon’s manager Will Bose said yesterday: ‘She doesn’t want to say too much but she had a wonderful night. I am allowed to say that.’
The couple met on the set of a Martini advert in Spain in October. At Clooney’s invitation she spent a week at his home in Los
Angeles during which they visited the set of the series Friends and Miss Snowdon met his inner circle of associates at a barbecue on his back lawn.
Apparently he teased her about her teeth - which he described as not up to Californian standards - and mocked her accent. 'When you meet her you must
not laugh,’ he told his friends. ‘Just speak slowly and don’t use big words.’
The couple enjoyed a night out at the Sunset Room where they were seen cuddling on the dance floor. Clooney called a friend to drive them home
because he had drunk too much.
Lisa, who was born Lisa Snawdon, was a waitress before being spotted by a modelling agent in a nightclub. She featured in campaigns for Gucci and Red
or Dead and had a three-year romance with rapper David Loeffler of the band EYC.
Her biggest claim to fame until now was the 1995 commercial for Faberge’s Addiction, which was so steamy it could only be shown after the watershed.
She released a single, the track heard on the advert, but it was not a hit.
An album, Spell It Out, also flopped even though she had a £500,000 record deal. At the time she said; ‘I’m not prepared to compromise myself just one
bit. Just watch me fly to number one in the charts.’
Clooney, 39, split up with French law student Celine Balitran in 1999 after a three-year relationship. He said the break-up was all his fault -
although his pot-bellied pig Max was also a source of friction.
He met Miss Frostrup, 37, in Cannes last spring and they were later seen out together in London. Clooney made his name as Dr Doug Ross in ER, leaving
last year to concentrate on films.
His first major film - Batman and Robin - was a flop, and he chose not to make any more appearances as the caped crusader. But his performances in
Out Of Sight, The Thin Red Line, Three Kings and most recently the Coen brothers comedy, O
Brother Where Art Thou, have been critically acclaimed.

The Essex born model has just spent the past week with George Clooney at his Los Angeles house after they met on the set of a
Martini advert in Spain five weeks ago.
"We'll never see her again now" jokes her agent Carol White, of Premier Models.
George and Lisa made their first public appearance together in LA last week when they attended a recording of the hit sitcom
Friends.
An onlooker said "George didn't let go of Lisa's [Snowdon] hand the whole night. They
were giggling and whispering. He stroked her face and she kept kissing him. " But friends of Lisa say they aren't surprised
George, 39, has fallen for her. Sam Delaney, deputy editor of men's magazine Later said : "Lisa isn't
all prim and stuck-up like most models. She talks about getting drunk, eating crisps and blokes. She's not stick-thin, she
has a body that men want."
The fact that Lisa claims not to wear any knickers, can eat what she wants and loves spontaneous sex could be another factor.
"I love running off in the middle of the day to make love" Lisa says. "That really burns up the calories. Sex keeps me in shape. I
don't diet, I eat what I like. I love mars bars and I smoke and drink.
The eldest of three sisters, Lisa's career began at 18, when an agent spotted her in a nightclub. She's best known as the
Special K girl and has been voted among the top 100 sexiest women in various polls.
She's been linked to the American rock singer David Leoffler of the band EYC and more recently the Levi's model Paul Sculfor. The
pair had planned to marry, but parted after a couple of years.
Lisa is due back in Britain this week to fulfill work commitments, but is expected to be back with George soon.
