Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney has renewed his vows as a lifetime bachelor.

Declaring himself nonhusband material, he says bluntly: "I am never at home, and every woman gets sick of it. I don't expect to ever get married again or have children."

Mr. Clooney married actress Talia Balsam in 1989, but the union lasted only four years – a failure, he says, that can be placed at his feet.

"What I was not prepared for was the idea that if things start going really badly you need to work them out," he tells the British gossip site People.co.uk. "I was 28 years old and not as tolerant as I could have been."

Apparently destined to be a perennial heartbreaker, Mr. Clooney recently ended his latest romance, a yearlong relationship with 29-year-old former cocktail waitress Sarah Larson. No hard feelings, though, says she.

"George is a great guy, a wonderful person," Ms. Larson tells Britain's Hello! magazine. And what has she taken away from their time together? "Most people know George has a great sense of humor and is an adept storyteller. But I will always love his extraordinary dance moves."
