George Clooney spent some time in Sardinia this week meeting the parents of his current flame, Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis.  Radar Online is reporting that the couple spent two days visiting the European island, presumably to make sure their syrupy couple goodness was equally spread over the entire geographical area.

Clooney dedicated a good chunk of the trip to Elisabetta’s hometown to bonding with her family, but he wasn’t shy about spending some…ahem, alone time with his beau at the romantic Hotel Villa Las Tronas.

What can we say? A gentleman knows what he wants and how he wants it.

In all seriousness, the experience must have been a little weird for Canalis’ parents. Georgey is probably closer to their age than their daughter’s!  Alas, true love prevails over all, especially in an enduring relationship like this one.

Aww, who are we kidding?! Clooney goes through young, hot women like crazy. At least he treats them well and it’s a mutually understood agreement!

What do you think? Could Clooney meeting the parents mean he’s finally settling down with someone?

Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia, stars of the NBC smash hit Heroes, have been denying for weeks that they are romantically involved.

But a video of them cuddling and dirty dancing at an Emmy after party has just surfaced on YouTube.

It’s convenient timing for the show, which premieres in its second season on Monday.

While early plotlines hinted at a possible romance between the couple’s characters, they were later revealed to be related.

The couple is controversial because Ventimiglia is 30 years old, while Panettiere turned 18 just one month ago.

In December, when USA Today asked Ventimiglia what he found attractive about Panettiere, he responded, “Ask me Aug. 21 (her birthday), and I’ll tell you a zillion things.”

The dance floor wasn’t the only place Panettiere was getting into trouble at the Emmy’s. TV Guide has reported that she threatened to “kill” an US Weekly reporter on the red carpet. The reporter had recently written a story about Panettiere’s break up with MTV personality Stephen Coletti.

Ventimiglia has previously dated his Gilmore Girls co-star Alexis Bledel.
