George Clooney is not engaged to girlfriend Sarah Larson, despite reports saying otherwise.

“There is no truth to any element of the story,” his rep tells Usmagazine.com.

A British Web site quoted a restaurant worker in Laglio (the city in Italy where Clooney owns a villa) as saying, “They haven’t made any announcement yet, but there are people in this town who know more than me. They say the couple are already engaged.”

Clooney, 46, attended last month’s Academy Awards with Larson, a 28-year-old model. The couple have been dating for eight months.

Oscar winner George Clooney certainly has his fair share of female fans, but OK! has learned you probably shouldn’t count Jennifer Aniston among them!

The handsome Michael Clayton star — who just happens to be best buds with Jen’s ex Brad Pitt — sauntered up to the actress at last Saturday’s Night Before gala in Beverly Hills, where she was busy chatting with BFF Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Orlando Bloom, Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, Susan, outside of Bar Nineteen12.

“George attempted to be friendly, but Jen wasn’t having it,” one eyewitness tells OK!. “After enduring a few minutes of the actor’s presence, Jen turned on her heels and made a beeline for the Sunset Ballroom, where most of the guests were mingling.”

Courteney, naturally, joined Jen, leaving her affable husband, David, to make awkward small talk with George!

George Clooney didn’t know he lived near Britney Spears until the area was surrounded by helicopters, police and paparazzi during the “custodial dispute” on January 3 that resulted in her two-night hospital stay.

Huffington Post reports on Clooney’s recollection of the night:

“I’d gone upstairs, and I came out and I’m in a robe. All of the sudden I see all this s–t going on.

“I have a guest house where my assistant sometimes is, and I think, someone has broken out of prison and like escaped, because it’s a chase scene. It’s something out of Die Hard.

“I get my baseball bat, which is what you always get in every film – I actually think Clive Owen said, ‘Get a baseball bat’ – and I called up my assistant, who I thought was in the guest house, and I said, ‘Are you OK?’

“And she’s like, ‘Yes.’

“And I said, ‘Look, if there’s someone in the place, say the word stonehenge.’

“And she’s like, ‘What the f–k are you talking about? I’m in my apartment.’

“I go, ‘You’re not in the guesthouse?’

“‘No.’

“So I’m, like, ‘Well, then, what the f–k is going on?’ And I go out and I’m running around with a baseball bat in my robe.

“And it turns out it’s Britney Spears’ house is like, 300 yards from mine. So now I have to move.”

George Clooney, 46, may be smooth with the ladies, but he has a thing or two to learn when it comes to riding a motorcycle!

On Sept. 21, the Ocean’s Thirteen star was hit by a vehicle while riding around New Jersey with new squeeze Sarah Larson, 28, according to TMZ.com. George and Sarah both suffered injuries.

“George Clooney was involved in a motorcycle accident this afternoon after the bike he was riding was hit by a car,” George’s publicist Stan Rosenfield told Star just hours after the mishap.

“He was treated for a hairline fracture of a rib and road rash at Palisades Medical Center in Palisades, NJ. Sarah Larson, who was riding on the motorcycle with Clooney, suffered a broken foot. Clooney and Larson were released shortly after entering the facility.”

George has been in New Jersey for the past few weeks to star alongside Brad Pitt in the comedy Burn After Reading, about two gym employees who try to sell a disc belonging to a CIA operative.

There is no word yet from George’s publicist if the accident will delay shooting on the movie, which is due out in 2008.

His relationship with Sarah isn’t new. He met her at the Ocean’s Thirteen premiere in Las Vegas where Sarah was working as a waitress. He has since spent time with her at his villa in Lake Como, Italy, and has taken her out to several high-profile events, including the Venice Film Festival, where he kissed her in public.

Good pals Brad Pitt and George Clooney have a lot in common. In addition to co-starring in three films (four, if you count the currently in-production Coen Brothers’ film Burn After Reading), they’ve both been named Sexiest Man Alive multiple times; they’re both superstars whose every move is closely watched by the media and public alike; they’ve both managed to carve out careers that allow them to make whatever films they want, whenever they want, wherever they want; and they both have movies at this year’s Toronto Film Festival, where OK! caught up with George to ask him if the two men ever feel the need to compete when it comes to filmmaking.“I don’t compete against my friends,” George, in a rare moment of seriousness, explained to OK!. “It always seems sort of strange. I couldn’t do the things Brad does, ever. So there’s no competition at all.” He paused before adding with a sly grin, “I do have some competition with Matt Damon.”

George also explained to OK! that it’s hard to shake the competitive spirit when awards season rolls around. “The interesting thing about awards season is: You get this feeling where you find yourself thinking, ‘Well, I’m helping the film,’ but at some point you’re actually campaigning the idea that you should compare art, and I always think that’s a dangerous place to go.” He brought up the example from a few years’ back when actor David Strathairn was nominated for Best Actor for his role in Good Night and Good Luck against front-runner, Capote’s Philip Seymour Hoffman. “Everyone was arguing who gave the better performance, but these were two very different roles — you can’t compare them! So, no, there’s never any competition, and you hope there never is between artists.”
