‘I haven't met her yet’ -George Clooney!



George Clooney just hasn't found "the one."


The 52-year-old handsome heartthrob covered the art issues of W Magazine and answered one of Hollywood's most burning questions: Why is he still single?

"I haven't met her yet," Clooney told the fashion mag when asked about the love of his life.
The A-lister's famous ex-gal pals include Kelly Preston, model Elisabetta Canalis and his latest squeeze Stacy Keibler.



Clooney, who is promoting his upcoming film "The Monuments Men," posed for the special edition of W in a pictorial called "Spot the Star" donning a polka-dot suit.

He answered personal questions from five female artists on everything from his first cinematic crush to how much he misses home while on location as an actor.
"When I was a kid, I was in love with Audrey Hepburn. I watched 'Roman Holiday' when I was 11 and I thought she was as elegant as anything I'd ever seen," he said.
"And I fell madly in love with her. I also always loved Grace Kelly. I mean, when she comes out of the water in 'To Catch a Thief,' I thought, 'That's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.'"


'When I was a kid, I was in love with Audrey Hepburn,' Clooney said of the famous actress, pictured here alongside Grace Kelly at the 28th Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood.


Being a movie star isn’t always filled with glitz and glamour as Clooney explained how hard it is to be away from the people he cares about.
"I get desperately, depressingly homesick if I can't find a way to be near the people that bring joy wherever they go," he revealed.
"Spend a night with my parents battling over who was the rottenest child (My sister or me) …Or my friends pointing out how badly I destroyed a certain bat franchise."
Home is humor and love and responsibility … and I get homesick when the people who know that best … and I can't find time to be together," Clooney added.

The interviewers got really in depth with the studly star when they asked him if he talks while making love.
"Only on the phone," he said.
Other detailed parts of their chat featured Clooney answering, "If you could choose how to die then how?"
"Before my friends," he sincerely replied.

Dramatic rescue of man who survived days underwater!

Harrison Okene

As a South African rescue diver probed the wreckage of an overturned tugboat in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Nigeria this summer, it was assumed that all he'd be doing would be recovering the bodies of those who perished.


However, as he was swimming through the murky water inside the capsized boat on May 28, a hand suddenly reached toward him out of the gloom.
It was the ship’s cook, Harrison Okene, who had somehow survived for approximately 60 hours in only his underwear in the freezing cold water by breathing from a small air pocket and taking sips of Coca-Cola.

Video of Okene’s dramatic rescue in May shows the moment his hand penetrated the darkness to alert the diver that he was still alive. Then it a shirtless Okene is shown from the waist up.
"He's alive! He's alive!" the diver exclaims to a colleague on the surface who is guiding him. 

Video of the dramatic rescue of ship cook Harrison Okene after he spent 60 hours breathing in an air bubble on a capsized ship shows his hand reaching out through murky water to alert the rescue diver that he is alive.

"Just reassure him,'' the diver's colleague says. "Just reassure him. Pat him on the shoulder." 
Okene was the only one of 12 crew members who survived when the Jacon-4 tugboat capsized on May 26 in heavy Atlantic storm swells after assisting an oil tanker that was filling up at a Chevron platform. Divers recovered 10 other bodies; one other crew member was never found.
The young cook was in a bathroom at 4:50 a.m. on May 26 when the tugboat began to turn over and water started pouring in. Okene forced open the bathroom door and was soon swept down a hallway into another bathroom, where he survived by breathing from a small air bubble and keeping his head above the slowly rising water. It was May 28 by the time Okene saw the light mounted on the diver's head and reached out to grab him.

The head lamp of the rescue diver illuminates Okene, who survived on sips of Coca-Cola in only his underwear in the freezing cold water after the ship he worked on capsized in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Nigeria.

The diving team put Okene in an oxygen mask and diver’s suit and brought him to the surface, more than 2 ½ days after the ship initially capsized. Okene then was put in a decompression chamber for another 60 hours because he had been underwater so long that his body pressure needed to slowly return to normal to ward off potentially fatal exposure to regular air pressure. 

This illustration shows how Okene was able to survive by breathing in a small air pocket in the capsized ship that kept him alive long enough for the rescue divers to find him 2 1/2 days after the ship capsized.
