Renee Zellweger is definitely not dating fellow Hollywood star George Clooney - because she'd proudly tell the world if she was. Despite persistent reports the pair are enjoying a secret romance, both actors have maintained they are simply 'just good friends' - and Zellweger believes their proof is the fact she'd be more than willing to admit to a relationship with George, if it did happen. She reasons, "Why would I sit repeatedly and say Oh no, he's not my boyfriend? If George Clooney was my boyfriend I'd be, 'Have you met my boyfriend - George Clooney' What girl wouldn't? "No I'm not dating him. And it's such a shame because everyone should be dating George Clooney. He's wonderful. He's a dear person in my life. He's a mentor. He's a best friend. I count on him. He inspires me. "When I feel like giving up he rekindles my faith in humanity - because he always does the right thing."
