"Tricky long distance, Pakistan-to-US dating logistics aside, we think the two would make a nice couple. I mean, just look at her CV. She's a far cry from Clooney's last girlfriend... cocktail waitress and 'Fear Factor' contestant, Sara Larson," said a report in American tabloid ‘National Enquirer’.
Clooney and Fatima, who lives with her stepmother and half brother in a plush suburb of Karachi, met at an international conference last year.
"He's still out there with his usual assortment of Hollywood eye-candy hanging from his arm. But George insists those days could be coming to an end if Fatima wants to take their relationship to the next level and spend some serious time with him in the US," the report said.
Fatima was recently in the news as she is expected to contest from her late aunt's seat in the next general elections. Sindh National Front chief Mumtaz Ali Bhutto, who is the cousin of late President Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, said that Fatima would run from Larkana constituency.
The seat was won by Benazir Bhutto in all elections between 1988 and 1997 and is now held by President Asif Ali Zardari's sister Faryal Talpur.
Fatima, who has two books to her credit, is now working on a book on the Bhutto clan. She also writes occasional columns criticising the functioning of the government.
Fatima's memoir will explore four generations of her family history, marked by tragedy and division – including the stories of her grandfather Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, executed in 1979; her uncle Shahnawaz, murdered in 1985; her father Murtaza, murdered in 1996, and her aunt Benazir, assassinated in December 2007.
"Fatima's story challenges the conventional wisdom about Pakistan, about the politics of family, and about the relationship between women and power," UK-based publisher Jonathan Cape said shortly after sealing a deal for the book with Fatima. The book will appear in 2010.
Though Benazir made several warm references in her autobiography "Daughter of the East" to her niece, Fatima believes her aunt tried to split the Bhutto family apart.

Let us enjoy the soap opera while it is in the news. The seat of Benzir Bhutto is currently held by by President Zardari's sister Faryal Talpur. Does any one think that President Zardari's sister will give up the seat for Fatima Bhutto? Is Fatima Bhutto trying to create a rift in her late Aunt's family? She will not succeed because Benzir's and President Zardari's children will be ready in next few years and the family warfare will begin again. The Kabilas will fight and ruin Pakistan again. So What is new? The Pakistan Army will have to step in again and it will be dejavu all over again. Fatima already lost the seat by association with George Clooney, an American. This is the outcome. She can not run for the seat of Benzir Bhutto. Find some other seat Fatima. Which Party do you belong to anyway?
It will be great for her in next elections, when she will be contesting on her aunt's seat, Salman Rushdie and George Clooney will be campaigning for her. Amazing!!! Win win for her.
What a notion: Can't consenting adults enjoy a relationship? Isn't it their business; their affairs? His interest: She's beautfiul, intelligent, exotic. Resist the impusle to politicize and be judgemental, and have faith in her decision-making. Let her live her life her way.
What is Clooney up to ? Is he loony ???
She is the brain child of anti-Bhutto elements in Pakistan whose life's mission was to insult and torture Benazir Bhutto.She is the one who intentially leaked this secret relationship with cloony...because she just want to stay in news .Now she will come out and make a statement that her relationship with Cloony was as a professional. and cloony misunderstood him.....BS..Cloony don't need her name for popularity. Imagine this girl claims that she is the real heritage of Bhutto Clan and is writing a book on Bhutto Clan....I think she should restrict herself to Cloony only and forget about frauds she use to do with poor people of Pakistan and Bhutto Heritage...this will be the greatest service by her for Pakistan
How can she date an infidel? How will Islam survive ifwe let our cows wander like this? I guess she did not get the moral education that is effectively taught in Madrassas only. Poor soul will burn in hell fire for such an act of immorality even if she escapes the wrath of the true believers.
Will Clooney convert to Islam or will the Mullahs allow Fatima to convert to Christianity?
Do you think Clooney is so cheap and a fool to marry her?This I think is more of propaganda to achieve some popularity and and remain in media and if bit true he will have short romantic relation and then throw her in dust-bin.
soon this family will be out of seen from Pakistan with other such UK's childs(politicians)after long march,and thier will be a free and new Pakistan who never got freedom,even though some say sixty years ago.
