Actor George Clooney has a new woman in his life�the 52 year old actress Ellen Barkin.

Barkin has recently split from her billionaire husband Ron Perelman, the head of Revlon.

Clooney met the older woman recently when they worked together on �Oceans 13�.

Barkin was said to be devastated by her marriage break down and is now crying all over Clooney�s lovely shoulders.

A friend of Barkin�s told the Mirror: "It's a match made in heaven. George has been a shoulder to cry on for Ellen - he's helping her get over the divorce.

"She fancies him like mad and you can cut the sexual chemistry on set with a knife.

"He is so different from her ex-husband, which she loves."

Could this be the real thing for Clooney????
