(Newser) – George Clooney has been secretly romancing the politically outspoken niece of assassinated Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto, Celebitchy reports. Sources tell the National Enquirer that the 47-year-old playboy actor is getting serious about Karachi-based poet and journalist Fatima Bhutto, 26, who he met at an international conference last year, and is trying to get her to spend some time with him in Hollywood.

Fatima Bhutto says she is not the rightful heir to succeed her aunt, slain Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto, but questions the family's role in leading the Pakistan People's Party.
