Leonardo DiCaprio [1] rang in the New Year with friends aboard a luxurious yacht in St. Barts. The 40-year-old actor was spotted puffing on an electronic cigarette while chatting with the group on Thursday, and at one point, he took his shirt off to work on his tan; later, he and his vacation buddies hit the beach and waded in the ocean. True to form, Leo was surrounded by pretty ladies, including a brunette beauty that he smooched on the cheek and a blonde who bore a resemblance to his on-off girlfriend, model Toni Garrn. The couple was rumored to have broken up [2] late last year and haven't been seen together since September.

Leo has been lying pretty low these past few months, though he did celebrate his 40th birthday in a big way back in November; Leo's NYC bash was attended by famous friends like Tyrese Gibson, Robin Thicke, and Russell Simmons and also reportedly brought out nearly 80 models [3].
