About Elisabetta Canalis

Oh, how fickle the game of love is, even for 'ol George Clooney. Picture this, a Hollywood hunk meets an Italian model and hearts whip into a storm. Love blooms, vows are traded, but alas, Cupid beat a sorrowful retreat. Friends, I'm talking about Elisabetta Canalis, known not only for her versatile modelling career, but her status as one of the ex-Mrs Clooneys.

In 2011, this Italian lady decided to hug her Americano bye-bye with zero settlements into her accounts. Now, isn't that the schnitzel! To think that Elisabetta parted ways from a gentleman sitting on the grand heap of Hollywood earnings without a penny to be called her share, tells us, love isn’t a contract and breakups don’t have to equate to "breaks to bank."

Kudos Elisabetta for breaking the stereotypes and making things clear that not all "Hollywood divorces" end with designer handkerchiefs soaked in desperation and expensive courtroom battles. Ms. Canalis knew the password to her independent queen-life and when push came to shove, it was all, "Arrivederci, Georgie!" Then again, her resilient swag fueled some levels of speculation in us and, just maybe, a teensy bit of admiration too. Who needs pounds of settlements when you carry oodles of iron-will in you, right? Bravo, signorina, bravo!
