While most of LA runs for cover at the first sight of rain, Elisabetta Canalis and her adorable dogs embraced the wet weather with a long walk in Beverly Hills, on Monday.

The gorgeous Dancing with the Stars alum chatted on her cell while keeping dry in a long grey sweater with matching scarf, black tights and rubber Hunter Wellies -- a staple for those venturing out onto the flooded LA sidewalks!

George Clooney's ex-ladylove recently unveiled her sexy -- and totally nude -- PETA ad in Milan, which shows off her flawless figure, while also sending an important message.

"You must remember that animals don’t have a voice," Canalis said of her support for the animal rights campaign. "You must be their voice. Never be afraid to speak up."

George Clooney took new ladylove Stacy Keibler to the New York Film Festival over the weekend, while ex Elisabetta Canalis was giving a very sad interview to Italian magazine Chi.

The former Dancing With The Stars contestant opened up about the end of her two-year relationship with Clooney, saying:

"It was a difficult time for me. ... I have always seen the end of my relationships as a personal failure ... when it comes to love I am a doormat. I'm looking for men who can give me security. You have to accept that Prince Charming who is coming to save you is not going to happen."

Ouch! The couple broke up in June, and Clooney rebounded with Keibler only a few months later.

We caught up with Elisabetta over the weekend, where she shopped her troubles away -- see all the pics below.

It's her first day of freedom from those grueling Dancing With the Stars rehearsals, so Elisabetta Canalis treated herself to a low-key shopping trip with her adorable pups in Beverly Hills, on Wednesday.

The Italian TV personality was eliminated from the show last night after scoring a total of 21 out of 30 points for her dance routine with partner Val Chmerkovskiy, but was her dance performance really to blame?

Struggling to dance with injured knees, Chaz Bono had a hard time getting through his dance routine and scored a mere of 17 points, the lowest of the night.

Is Dancing With the Stars based completely on skill, or is it more of a popularity contest?

Pump iron much??

Dancing With The Stars is known for helping certain celebs lose weight (Ricki Lake and Chaz Bono are this season's biggest losers so far), but since Elisabetta Canalis didn't really need to lose weight, the rehearsals are apparently giving her a ridiculously buff bod!

George Clooney's ex showed off her toned arms as she left practice in LA on Saturday. The flowing dress is quite a contrast to the glowing guns.

Elisabetta Canalis headed to Ago Restaurant in West Hollywood Tuesday night, where she celebrated being saved from elimination on Dancing With The Stars!

It's always embarrassing to be the first to go home, and while Elisabetta scored low, it was Ron Artest (aka Metta World Peace) that got the boot.

Still, why isn't Lis smiling? Her time on DWTS has been tough so far -- she also wasn't happy with her intro video on the show; it showed a pic of her with ex George Clooney. She said:

"I didn't really like it. I didn't know it [was going to be part of my introduction]. That's what I really didn't like."

To be fair, Lis, that's the only reason people in the U.S. know who you are!

We caught up with George Clooney's ex Elisabetta Canalis on Sunday as she left Dancing With The Stars practice and asked her about her former flame. George and new gal pal Stacy Keibler had just gone public with their relationship the day before.

So what was Elisabetta's response? She appears to be taking the high road; the gorgeous Italian blew a kiss to her ex lover -- watch it all in our video below!

After two years of dating, Elisabetta and George split at the end of June -- only a few weeks after she said in an interview that she wanted to get married. By the beginning of August, news had broken of George and Stacy's new romance.

... And did we mention that Stacy was also once a contestant on Dancing With The Stars? Ouch!

We also spotted Chaz Bono and partner Lacey Schwimmer at practice. See pics of them after the jump and in our gallery below!

They say looking good is the best revenge after a break-up, but how could Elisabetta Canalis possibly get any hotter?

The sexy Italian TV star looked striking in a white tank and tight black leather pants as she stepped out to dinner with a girlfriend in LA, on Thursday, amidst reports her playboy ex, George Clooney, has already moved on.

The eternally-single actor, who split with Canalis in June after she expressed her desire to get married and have a fam, has reportedly been getting cozy with former WWE star Stacy Keibler, who's been hanging out in Europe with friends.

Apparently the DWTS alum ran into Clooney while on her trip, and they've been inseparable ever since. Keibler has since been posting cryptic Tweets about her trip, including: "Magic is in the stuff you didn't see coming," "I'm smiling all day long :)" and "When u know, u just know.... #;)."

Be careful not to say too much Stacy - remember what happened to Elisabetta!

The "Girlfriend" singer has pretty much relocated overseas with beau Brody Jenner!

Check out Avril Lavigne singing her heart out at the 61st Italian Song Festival in San Remo, Italy over the weekend...

The punk princess is promoting her latest album, Goodbye Lullaby.

And George Clooney's hot girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, also gave a show-stopping performance at the festival:

De-lish! See another sexy shot below the cut.
