Elisabetta Canalis In Talks For TNT’s “Leverage”

Elisabetta Canalis — the Italian model and TV personality currently romantically-linked to Oscar-nominated actor George Clooney — is reportedly in talks to star on the third season of the TNT crime drama Leverage.

Sources tell Us Weeekly Canalis met with producers last month to discuss playing an international secret agent.

“She’s very excited about the part as well as the chance to break into American television,” an insider spilled to the mag. “She knows she’ll be over here (the U.S.) to be with George at the Oscars so she’s hoping to shoot some of her part then,” the snitch adds.

Canalis is currently featured in the ad campaign for the Spring collection from designer Roberto Cavalli. The upcoming third season of Leverage – featuring Timothy Hutton and Christina Kane — is scheduled to debut this summer.
