UPDATE:
Well, it’s happened.
George Clooney is officially, 100 per cent married, people.
The actor’s representative, Stan Rosenfield, broke the news in a statement this morning confirming Clooney’s marriage to human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin. It read:
“George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin were married today (September 27) in a private ceremony”.
Clooney, 53, and Alamuddin, 36, treated guests to a 4-day wedding extravaganza.
The wedding took place at the Aman hotel in the 16th-century Palazzo Papadopoli on Venice’s Grand Canal. The 7-star canal catered for the 136 guests at the wedding, including Matt Damon, Cindy Crawford, U2’s Bono, and Vogue’s Ana Wintour.
Here’s what the world’s seen of the Clooney/ Alamuddin celebration so far:
This is the second marriage for the famous bachelor, after a four-year marriage to actress Talia Balsam (who is now happily married to Mad Men star John Slattery). George claimed he wouldn’t marry again because he “wasn’t very good at it”. But that was twenty years ago. After a bevy of babes, he finally met his match last year in Oxford-educated lawyer Alamuddin.
With a shared common interest in global human rights (George co-founded the humanitarian aid organisation Not On Our Watch, Amal turned down an offer to investigate the war crimes and human rights violations in Gaza with the UN), the couple were engaged in February after six months of dating.

Tapia and I have similar tastes in men?
I think those thoughts are kinda insulting to his former girlfriends. Just because she is a human rights lawyer, doesn't mean they are stupid.
No, it doesn't. But the difference is that they chose to make careers based solely on their looks (although his last was a wrestler - so more on her athleticism than just looks). That suggests that their looks are what they perceive to be their most marketable quality, and/or the thing they value most highly/want value placed on.
Although Amal is just as good looking as any of them, she obviously also possesses a high level of intelligence, ambition and empathy, and has chosen a career that values those things above her looks. For that reason I think it's far to suggest she has and/or values brains more than they do.
