I am sad to report that my favorite Hollywood leading man George Clooney has a new lady in his life and its not me! According to the British tabs, Clooney is dating Ellen Barkin and is crazy about her. (YAWN) Sources say Ellen who is starring in Oceans 13, has been glued to Clooney since meeting on the set. The 45 year old is telling pals he’s “electrified” by Ellen despite the seven year age gap. He has fallen for her stimulating conversation and they've bonded on fast rides on his motorbike. One of his friends says: "It's a match made in heaven." (YAWN)

Whats the scoop on Ellen? Well in January, Ellen was served with divorce papers at the couple's New York mansion. Her husband of six years never returned home but two security men arrived with instructions to stay in the property until she moved out. In an astonishing "fast-track" divorce granted 26 days later Ellen is believed to have got at least 10million from a secret pre-nup agreement. Her first marriage was to Irish actor Gabriel Byrne, with whom she has a son and daughter. Sources tell Hollyscoop exclusively that Ellen was spotted with a younger man in December at “La Esquina” in NYC before her divorce. Our mole tells us that it didn’t look like the two were “just friends”.

According to the Daily Mirror "George has been a shoulder to cry on for Ellen - he's helping her get over the divorce. She fancies him like mad and you can cut the sexual chemistry on set with a knife. He is so different from her ex husband, which she loves." (YAWN)

According to sources, Clooney’s pal Brad Pitt approves of Ellen and has introduced her to wifey Angelina Jolie. I can totally see this group double dating to Namibia. Yes I know I am totally hating! What do you guys think of Clooney’s new leading lady, HOT OR NOT?
