Elisabetta Canalis told an Italian magazine that 'there is nothing ever pretty [in] saying goodbye.'

George Clooney is famous for being a playboy. But that doesn't stop his ex-girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis from taking the blame for the end of their two-year relationship.

Canalis, 32, who's currently gearing up to be a cast member on the 13th season of "Dancing with the Stars," opened up to Italian magazine Chi about her feelings on the split.

"I have always seen the end of my relationships as a personal failure," Canalis, 32, said according to Usmagazine.com. "There is nothing ever pretty [in] saying goodbye."

Even before "goodbye," things were tough for the couple. Throughout her relationship with Clooney, 50, Canalis was dogged by rumors of an impending breakup.

BYE BYE, LOVE: CELEBRITIES WHO HAVE SPLIT UP

After E! Online reported in May that the couple was all but kaput, Clooney, who's now dating former "DWTS" contestant Stacey Kiebler, shot back, "We are together and doing fine, as far as I can see."

So what might have screwed things up?

While Canalis has been open about her desire to get married -- earlier this year she told Chi, "In the future I will be married, but for the time being I am happy as I am" -- Clooney, once divorced, isn't quite so keen on tying the knot again.

"I was married," Clooney said on "Piers Morgan Tonight" in January. "So I gave it a shot. I've proven how good I was at it."

Since the pair split, Canalis has relocated to Los Angeles.

"I went to the United States, because at the moment, I could no longer face the world," she said. "Watching my life being dissected was not easy for me."

THE SEXIEST COSTUMES EVER ON "DANCING WITH THE STARS"

The move has proved to be a positive change. Not only did she land a spot on "DWTS," but she said she has found "serenity."

And as far as looking for love again? Canalis said she's learned her lesson.

"You have to accept that Prince Charming who is coming to save you is not going to happen -- it works against you," she said.

Summary: Shagbook is accusing Facebook of trademark bullying, says the term facebook is generic, and is even arguing that Facebooks trademark should never have been granted.

The last one is fighting back; Shagbook has filed its own opposition, along with counterclaims, with the United States Patent and Trademark Office . Shagbook allows consenting users to carry out location-based searches in order to hook up with local singles for no strings attached adult dating in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK, and the US.

Online romance scam dupes thousands - New Kerala

London, Sep 28 : Hundreds of thousands of people in Britain may have been hit or duped by online romance scams, far more than previous estimates. The study undertaken by Monica Whitty and Tom Buchanan, psychologists at the Universities of Leicester and Westminster, is probably the first formal academic analysis of the pervasive scam. Criminals often set up fake identities on dating and social networking sites, using stolen photographs (of models or army officers) and pretend to develop a romantic relationship with their victim. Such scamsters have persuaded many to part with large sums of money before their suspicions are aroused, often on emotive or humanitarian grounds, according to a Leicester statement. Even when victims cannot, or will not, send money, scammers involve them in laundering money by asking them to accept money into their bank accounts. Researchers surveyed over 2,000 people through an online YouGov survey and estimated from the results that over 200,000 British citiz...
