George Clooney attended the Venice Film Festival with new girlfriend, Italian MTV reporter Elisabetta Canalis. It was their first public appearance. Italian papers are already comparing the new couple to the infamous duo Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. People.com reports Clooney and Canalis have been inseparable in the past three weeks. The two remain secluded in Clooney’s lakeside villa in Como having dinner and lounging together on his boat.

Some Hollywood gossip Web sites are running with the idea that George Clooney will bring Elisabetta Canalis as his date to the Oscars. His last girlfriend, Sarah Larson, was the first girlfriend to accompany him to the Oscars. Fueling the idea stems from the revelation that Clooney had a crush on Canalis while still dating Larson. According to actor Alessandro Siani, a mysterious car followed Siani and Elisabetta Canalis every day after filming the 2006 Italian movie, “Christmas in New York.” Siani later learned George Clooney was the mysterious passenger.
