I am shocked to have just read in the New York Daily News (a sketchy news source at best) that George and actress Ellen Barkin are an item.

George, George, George - say it ain't so! And Ellen, you had your shot with a hot actor, (she's divorced from Gabriel Byrne - the handsome Irishman from "The Usual Suspects") and the rich older man - Revlon CEO Ron Perlman. C'mon Ellen, you gotta give a sister a chance here!
