Hollywood star George Clooney has been spotted buying lottery tickets – in an attempt to win money for Haiti.

According to reports, the actor and his girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis were spotted in an official Italian SuperEnalotto game shop this week.

They were reportedly seen buying dozens and dozens of tickets in the £117 million jackpot.

UK Star magazine claimed Clooney, who has a home in Lake Como, told pals: “The jackpot is so high, so why not try?”

The heartthrob, who recently fronted a telethon in the US that raised more than $50 million, apparently wants to spend the millions helping the earthquake victims in Haiti.

At the telethon event, he said: “This is a tragedy that reaches across all borders, all boundaries. It demands our attention, our help and our compassion. The Haitian people need help. They need to know that they are not alone. They need to see that we still care.”

New Moon stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are reportedly being asked to take part in George Clooney’s telethon to raise money for Haiti.

Clooney, 48, is hosting a telethon to raise funds for the people and it is claimed he wants New Moon stars Pattinson, 23, Stewart, 19, and Taylor Lautner, 17, to get involved.

It is not known if the actors are available to take part, but a source said: “She’d jump at the chance to do something to help.”

Hollywood star George Clooney has spoken about new girlfriend Elisabetta and said if life’s a journey he has a “very nice co-pilot”.

George, 48, is dating Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis, 30, and they were recently seen in Venice publicly revealing their relationship.

Talking about his life, he said: “If life’s a journey, then right now I’ve got a very nice co-pilot.

“I’m not going to project into the future and say I’ve found a co-pilot for life because I don’t want to jinx things… but I will say that at the moment, I’m having a very nice time being a frequent flyer on Alitalia.”

The star admitted that his past dating history has been chequered: “I’m well aware that there are things that people will see as shortcomings in my life, and I’m unapologetic about them.”

He added: “People keep asking me if I worry about being alone – but listen, I’ve been in some relationships where I’ve felt terribly alone.

“Just because you’re with someone in a couple doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re incredibly happy and complete – sometimes the opposite.

“I’ve broken up with a few people, and had a lot of people break up with me, and sometimes it has been a relatively easy thing, and sometimes it has been the sensible thing because the relationship wasn’t working out.

“I’m just trying to live my life the way I choose to live it here and hope it all works out, but I’m also well aware that certain things you can do which are cute when you do them at 20 become less cute when you’re still doing them at 48.”

Former ER star Parminder Nagra has said it was a “pleasure” to work with actor George Clooney on the show.

Nagra, 33, recently left the programme after playing Dr Neela Rasgotra for five years.

She said: “George Clooney is just a lovely guy.”

Nagra recently added to British magazine Celebs on Sunday: “On set, my co-star Linda Cadellini and I are supposed to be really sombre when he walks in, but we could never hide our grins… The director told us to take down our joy at seeing George by a few notches. It was an absolute pleasure. Finally, I can say I’ve done a scene with George Clooney.”

According to a statement by one of his very good friends, actor Brad Pitt, George Clooney has something of a soft spot for male strippers. When asked on a talk-show how to woo George, Brad replied: “Get a bunch of Chippendales. He’s yours. Three, four – no less than three. Make one a blonde.” The actor is reputed to be one hell of a womanizer and has had relationships with many women in show business including Salma Hayek, Renee Zellweger and Lucy Liu, but he has vowed never to get married following his divorce in 1993. Looks like all of the heartbreaker male stars have a little gayness behind them.
