Both the National Enquirer and Star Magazine have stories this week that 29 year-old Sarah Larson is telling friends that she’s the one who broke it off with Oscar-winning actor George Clooney, not the other way around. Earlier stories had Clooney, 47, surprising Larson with the split, leaving her heartbroken as she packed up her stuff and moved out of his LA mansion and back to Vegas.

Now Larson supposedly claims that she got sick of Clooney’s on-again off-again affections and that she’s the one who chose to end it. As if that sounds believable:

“She’s claiming that she broke up with him because his love was so inconsistent,” says one source. “She said he was hot and cold with her, and she just couldn’t tolerate it anymore.”

But it seems former Fear Factor winner Sarah, 29, may just be trying to put out her own version of the story because, according to multiple other sources, George dumped her.

“She tends to get too attached to her boyfriends,” says a play of Sarah. “She was getting too clingy, and George just had enough. She was demanding too much attention, and it was driving him away. They had been on the rocks since April, and this was just the final straw for George.”

The National Enquirer has a similar quote from maybe the same insider who claims that Clooney was “hot and cold” with Sarah and she got fed up with it.

Star reports that Clooney has been holding up in Lake Como since the news of the split broke, but that’s probably where he spends his summers anyway. Larson made a smiling public appearance at the opening of the Palms Place on May 31. She was seen flirting and sitting next to an ex boyfriend, Ryan Doherty. The two did some dirty dancing that night, according to an insider quoted in the National Enquirer, who calls it “over the top” and “obvious.” They also say that Sarah is “crushed” and that losing Clooney is the “last thing [she] wanted.”

She’ll get over it and move on. There may not be another A-List star willing to take her to the Oscars again, but there are plenty of fish in the muddy Hollywood lake, and she’s young, pretty, rich and now semi-famous. You can’t buy the kind of exposure this woman got from dating Clooney.
