George clooney's girlfriend compares jennifer aniston to iggy pop

George Clooney's Italian girlfriend stirred up trouble this week when she compared Jennifer Aniston's hair to that of punk singer Iggy Pop.

Writing on her Twitter account, Elisabetta Canalis retweeted a friend's comment which read "I'm browsing again through the pages of Rolling Stone. Iggy Pop on the cover looks exactly like Jennifer Aniston." The comment has since been deleted but can be viewed here.

Rapidly backpedalling, she later wrote "I JUST READ ON GOOGLE That I TWEETED something bad about J Aniston,let me be clear,it's a complete LIE,I would never do that!!", adding, "I was at the beginning [of Twitter], not sure what 'retweeet' meant."

Whether it was intentional or not, it's still a pretty funny comment, particularly as we all know how close George and Brad Pitt are.

Punk legend Iggy does have remarkably lustrous locks for a man approaching 70 but that's about where the similarity ends. Have no fear Jen, your role of hair icon is still safe... for now.
