George Clooney and Sarah Larson Admit Rock of Love Obsession

While recovering from a motorcycle accident last fall, she says they were glued to marathons of VH1's Rock of Love with Bret Michaels.

"We caught ourselves rooting for someone or getting frustrated," Sarah says in June's Harper's Bazaar. "And we were like, 'This is sad.'"

Despite dating one of Hollywood's leading men, Larson says she sees Clooney, 47, as "a normal person, like anyone else. He just happens to have a well-known face."

Attending all those award shows and premieres is "like a modeling job," she says, "smiling and greeting people."

They first met four years ago when she worked at a Las Vegas resort. She was dating someone else at the time.

Last June, they ran into each other at a premiere for Ocean's Thirteen.

"I got texts, and we just started talking," Larson recalls.

Larson — a model who once starred on NBC's Fear Factor — says she probably never would've fallen for him if he, too, had had a reality show past.

"If George had been on a reality show, I don't think I'd have talked to him," she admits. "It would have been like, 'That's nice.'

"I don't know," she adds. "He still wants to date me, and I ate a scorpion."
