Elisabetta Canalis Talks Clooney Breakup

They were one of the hottest international couples in the world, and when George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis split up, she took it pretty hard.

The Italian super-hottie, who is on the new season of “Dancing with the Stars,” blames herself for the breakup.

Elisabetta explained, "At the end of the day I have always seen the end of my relationships as a personal failure. There is nothing ever pretty in saying goodbye."

"I'm a bit of a tomboy, but when it comes to love I am a doormat. I'm looking for men who can give me security. I have always seen cold and controlled men as the right ones for me. You have to accept that Prince Charming who is coming to save you is not going to happen -- it works against you."

But it sounds like she’s grown from the experience. "In the past I would self destruct when it came to love - I was immature, throwing myself into things but now times have changed, I want a relationship where you understand the other person."
