Leo Likes 'Em British

PopSugar — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 16:49:02 -0800

Leonardo and Co are in Rome as part of their world tour for Blood Diamond. He has been talking up a storm on interviews and recently spoke about his love for British women. Popular TV host, Cat Deeley, interviewed Leo. He said: "Cat's lovely. But then most English girls are. This country churns out some of the loveliest women in the world." Well also know he has a thing for super models but he didn't seem to open up about that in this interview.

Leo and Brad Reminisce Growing Pains

PopSugar — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 00:14:03 -0800

Leo sure has come a long way from his child actor days. He's was nominated for an Oscar yesterday for his work in Blood Diamond. It was pretty much a shoe-in for him to get something this year. In fact, he recently got together for an Oscar round-table with such notable actors as Helen Mirren and Brad Pitt. The banter between Brad and Leo was our favorite part. Here's highlights:

Which movie made you want to become an actor?

DICAPRIO: I tried to get an agent when I was around 7. I was a break-dancer and had a mohawk, and I was rejected. I knew I wanted to be an actor, but it wasn't until "This Boy's Life," when I was 16, that I started to research quality films. I remember watching James Dean in "East of Eden." I said to myself, "Wow, I didn't know it was possible to give a performance this good."

PITT: Although you were extraordinary on "Growing Pains."

DICAPRIO: Thank you, buddy. As were you.

Leo, didn't you get thrown off the set of "Romper Room"?

DICAPRIO: Yeah, when I was 3 years old. I ran up to the camera and started shaking it, saying, "Look at me!"

Romper Room - sounds like someone knew they wanted to be a star at a very young age. Now the nominated actor is in the UK for the premiere of Blood Diamond where he is joined by co-stars Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou. Last time we saw this group together we were speculating about Jennifer's belly. Looks like she could be hiding something again with this dress.

Blood Diamond Screening Looks Fun

PopSugar — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 23:52:27 -0800

Who knew such a controversial movie would be such a fun time. Leo and his co-stars Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou were on hand for a screening of Blood Diamond at the MoMA in NY last night. Jennifer and her husband Paul Bettany sure seem to be enjoying themselves. In fact, she has a sort of glow about her and Paul seems to be lovingly holding his wife's belly. We're not one to start rumors but could these two be expecting more than Oscar buzz?

Leo's Mom Is One Lucky Lady

PopSugar — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 09:35:10 -0800

Leonardo's is very picky about the films he makes. Maybe that's why before this year he hasn't been in one since The Aviator. Lucky for us - he's in two this year, The Departed and Blood Diamond. Apparently he is just as picky about his jewels as he is about his films. Recently he did a press junket for his latest film where he was asked whether his new film had changed his mind about diamonds. Here's more:

"Well, I don't remember the last time I have," he said. "My mom is the only person that I would buy something like that for, and for a while now she hasn't wanted one. But that isn't to say that people shouldn't buy them."

How can consumers make sure they're not buying conflict diamonds? "From my conversations with Global Witness or Amnesty International, you have to go into the stores and buy these diamonds and ask for a certificate, ask for some sort of authentication that this isn't a conflict diamond," he said. "That's one of the biggest ways that this whole process can be put to a stop."

He also said he and costar Djimon Hounsou spent a lot of time hanging out in muddy swamps while filming the movie. "We would sit there and talk about the different kinds of hot chocolates that you can get in Paris and the croissants. We'd sit there and dream like two weird women about pastries."

Leo's Blood Diamond Premieres in LA

PopSugar — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 12:14:37 -0800

The cast of Blood Diamond hit the red carpet again last night, this time for the LA premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theater. We love that Leo is an activist for good things and it's great that he's found a new cause to be passionate about. Who knows if he can single-handedly change the diamond business, but it sure doesn't hurt to try. He says:

"Basically these diamonds have funded warlords to cause civil unrest and [led to] millions of people being murdered throughout Africa," DiCaprio said. "Child soldiers have to fight these wars, and [there are] millions of refugees."

"This movie is symbolic of what happens when we as consumers endorse a corporation and the way they do business by buying their products," DiCaprio said. "I could never have imagined that something that represents the symbol of love where we come from could have [caused] such devastation on a continent halfway around the world."

He's so convincing, but that doesn't mean you have to stop buying diamonds altogether. Leo says when buying your precious stones, just make sure to get certification that they aren't conflict diamonds.

Is Leo Un-Bar-ed?

PopSugar — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 07:22:54 -0800

Leo has been super busy traveling the world promoting Blood Diamond. He was in Madrid over the weekend prior to the SAG Awards. He has also been seen without his model girlfriend, Bar Refaeli a lot these days. Apparently Bar has ended their relationship because she can't deal with his crazy work schedule. Here's more:

"Bar is a professional model so she has to be healthy and look great every day, so there is no way that she could keep up with that kind of decadent lifestyle. When they were apart she worried about what he was up to and in the end decided it would be easier and less painful just to say enough is enough." DiCaprio has recently been in London celebrating his recent Best Actor Oscar nomination for BLOOD DIAMOND. A member of his entourage adds, "Leo was gutted when Bar told him it was over. But he is at the top of his game at the moment and there's no danger of his changing his ways any time soon."

Leo certainly is on top right now and even has a shot to bring home an Oscar. Besides, doesn't Bar realize this is his busiest season right now with promoting his movie and trying to score an award. More of Leo at the Madrid premiere of Blood Diamond so read more

Leo Wants You to Vote

PopSugar — Mon, 06 Nov 2006 14:30:55 -0800

Election day is right around the corner, and like many other celebs Leo lent his voice to fight for what he believes in. The activist is not only making a difference with his real world actions, but on film as well. Next month Leo will star in Blood Diamond, a movie focusing on the corruption behind diamond trading. Look for Blood Diamond in theaters December 8th and in the meantime, remember to vote tomorrow.

Leo Tears Up the Dance Floor

PopSugar — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 11:27:52 -0800

Leo may have lost the Best Actor award to Forest Whitaker despite being nominated for both The Departed and Blood Diamond but he didn't let that get in the way of his night. As expected, Leo showed up to the ceremony without his girlfriend Bar Refaeli, who lately never seems to be very far from his side. It looks like she didn't even make it out to any of the after parties as well. Instead he partnered up with Blood Diamond co-star Djimon Hounsou after the awards and headed over to Orlando's 30th birthday party. He spent the rest of the night on the dance floor until they closed the place down. We never thought of Leo as a dancer. We would have loved to have seen that.

Leo arrived in Japan today to promote The Departed. You know after all of the partying and that long flight he's got to be suffering from some major jet lag! For more pics just read more

Jessica Really Appeals to the Teens

Molly — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 07:05:00 -0700

Apparently Jessica and Cash didn't have time to take advantage of being in Paris after Eva and Tony's wedding, because the two were at the airport on their way out yesterday morning. And don't they just look thrilled as usual (though I'm loving her coat)? Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer may have been a bit overshadowed by the other Summer blockbusters, but the Teen Choice Awards committee took notice and nominated Jessica for 3 awards: Hissy Fit, Female Hottie, Action Adventure Actress. The show isn't until the end of August, but you can vote here. Mark my words, teens love Jessica, but she may have to lose to Seacrest in the Hissy Fit category.
