GEORGE Clooney's ex-girlfriend, Sarah Larson, has gone from dating a "hero to a zero," Las Vegas sources say.
Larson was at a preview of Lavo in the Palazzo Saturday night with her new man, minor-league promoter Joey Vanas. Vanas kept his hand on Larson's leg all night as they sat in a booth with Lavo owners Noah Tepperberg and Jason Strauss and Vegas showman Jeff Beacher, drinking vodka.
Larson seems to have a roving eye. Sin City sources say that while the former cocktail waitress, who's trying to kick- start a modeling career, was dating Clooney, she "came to Vegas for a weekend and cheated on him" with a media mogul.
Larson and Clooney broke up earlier this summer. Sources said it was because they had little in common and because Larson insisted on getting breast implants. But, ever the gentleman, Clooney helped promote her new career before he dumped her, and she got a spread in Harper's Bazaar and a few runway gigs at LA Fashion Week.
Also in Vegas last weekend was a sober Owen Wilson, who was more interested in playing golf than hitting the bars.
On Sunday, Page Six ran into Tara Reid, in Vegas for Project - the garment trade show coinciding with the MAGIC fashion convention. Reid told us that while she's still acting, she's found another career - designing her own line of clothing, Mantra.
Dressed in a backless red top of her own design, Reid, who was not drinking at Tao Beach, said, "All the clothes will mean something. Red shirts mean love, white is peace, green is for luck - you get the picture."
As for rumors of Cher and her 38-year-old biker beau Tim Medvetz splitting, a pal said, "Not that I know of." And if they did, it didn't matter. Cher, said by Kathy Griffin to have "the best ass in the business," performed a flawless show at the Coliseum Saturday night to an ecstatic crowd.
