George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis leaving Gatto Nero restaurantat in Como, Italy (6/14)

After being spotted together in Italy just a week ago (above), George Clooney and his girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis announced in a joint statement today that they're splitting up. How very adult of them. Usually my girlfriend and I announce our break up to the world by her throwing all my shit on the lawn. From People:

"We are not together anymore. It's very difficult and very personal, and we hope everyone can respect our privacy," Clooney and Canalis said in a joint statement Wednesday.

Added Canalis's publicist: "It is a very personal and sad matter, and Elisabetta wants it to remain that way. She will be taking some time ... and then will face the press. She has not authorized me to say when the split happened."

In related news, I was on vacation in Cabo San Lucas last December and ate dinner here a table away from George and Elisabetta (on this night). When he got up to leave, my girlfriend asked him for a picture and he flat out said no. Mind you, she asked him after he got up from the table (she didn't interrupt him) and there were maybe 6 other people in the restaurant at the time (so it's not like there would have a frenzy of people trying to get pictures). Seriously, fuck you George Clooney. Dickhead.
