Just a few days ago, Leonardo DiCaprio was partying in Miami. He was rocking out with his belly out, letting the ocean mist on his glorious ponytail and beer gut. Now Leo is on a yacht in St. Tropez. These photos are from Tuesday, where Leo managed to keep his shirt on (yay!) but he wanted to show his bros his cool karate moves. High kick! Twirl! Well, at least he?s having fun, I guess. He?s having a nice summer off. A summer full of bikini models and no girlfriend? That?s what the NYDN says about Leo?s weekend in Miami:
Leonardo DiCaprio is a few months shy of 40 and has been in a relationship for more than a year ? but that didn’t stop the actor from swooping into Miami for Swim Week, the high holy days of hot chicks in bikinis.
Confidenti@l hears that the ?Wolf of Wall Street? star (near r.), recently seen frolicking in the sand and carrying a few extra pounds, and buddies including actors Lukas Haas and Kevin Connolly, flew in by private jet just to enjoy the, er, festivities. The group hit the clubs with a ?harem? of models, DiCaprio?s girlfriend Toni Garrn not included.
?It?s Swim Week, so bikini models from all over are in town. It?s just crawling with them,? said our source. ?Leo and his guys came down specially. None of them were filming or in production; there really aren?t too many good reasons to be in Miami in July. They just came to follow the models.?
On Friday night, DiCaprio ? who has dated a G-string of lingerie models, most recently Erin Heatherton and Bar Refaeli ? and his gang hit Adore nightclub, where, the spy says, they were surrounded by some 25 models. ?The emphasis was on the women,? said the insider. ?They were chatting with them, having fun.?
Apparently the actors and their new friends left in a ?mass exodus? around 4:30 a.m. Saturday but were right back on the scene the following night, this time dropping in on the Wall nightclub, where, we?re told, they ordered up a flood of booze.
?They took over huge portions of the club, having every bottle available ? Champagne, vodka, whisky, tequila and beers,? said the source. ?It was like a pop-up bar in their area.? Again, the crew closed down the club a little before 5 a.m.
A rep for DiCaprio declined to comment, but a source close to the actor said: ?After they left the club, Leo and his friends got in a car and went home. He is actually headed to Saint-Tropez to meet Toni Garrn for the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation fund-raiser.?
[From the NYDN]
Ah, so Toni knows what?s up. She?s probably always known what?s up. That?s probably part of the deal upfront ? you get to be Leo?s official and get a career boost out of that, but he?s going to bang lots and lots of models on the side. So, Toni is with him in St. Tropez? He must have busted out his karate moves for her. I wonder if she was impressed.

Leonardo DiCaprio has had the summer off. I think he usually paces his projects so he gets summers off, but he?s really been partying a lot this summer in particular. He?s been in Brazil for the World Cup, he?s been in France for the Cannes Film Festival, he?s been in LA with his bros, and now he?s in Miami? not doing much but hanging out on the beach. With his bros, I suspect. I wonder how many of Leo?s friends just get to travel around the world every summer on his dime?
Anyway, as you can see, Leo has not been working out this summer. He is not adhering to any diet either. He doesn?t look so bad when he?s standing up (except for the too-high towel wrap, which is so weirdly modest), but when he?s sitting down? well?it?s kind of noticeable. I?m not actively trying to body-shame him or anything. I mean, hey, he?s on vacation, he?s having a good time, what?s it to me? But just imagine this was a major actress who had ?let herself go? while on vacation. These photos would be splashed across every media outlet and then there would be the backlash to the attention, with feminist essays about body-shaming culture and how it hurts women (which is true). But are we going to go through that pattern when it?s Leo? Will these photos of Leo make the cover of People with the headline, ?Stop Calling Me Fat!??
Other Leo stuff? he?s going to produce a TV miniseries about Charles Lindberg. The miniseries was written by Oscar-winner Dustin Lance Black. And Leo is fighting with a memorabilia dealer over a signed photo of Leo and Nelson Mandela (which Mandela intended to send to Leo but never got to him).

He?s not usually a big fan of going out in public, but Leonardo DiCaprio didn?t seem to care about being photographed while strolling around SoHo, New York City on Thursday afternoon (June 26).
Sporting a blue top and khaki cargo shorts, the ?Wolf of Wall Street? stud looked to be a bit downcast as he ran errands and chatted with a male fan all by his lonesome.
Over the weekend, Leo?s model friend Katie Cleary estranged husband Andrew Stern shot himself at a shooting range in California. Stern allegedly suspected that Cleary and DiCaprio were romantically involved when they were seen together at the Cannes Film Festival.
An insider told press, ?I don't think she did anything with Leonardo. She was very passionate about her animals, she did a documentary called Give Me Shelter, so everyone she meets she is handing out DVDs, so I think with Leo she was just pushing her animal agenda.?
?She works non-stop on animal stuff. Leo has that girlfriend so I don't think anything happened between them at all. At the same time [Katie's] being shot by the paparazzi at a film festival and [Andrew] is at home dealing with all the mental stuff, so it probably did not help.?

Leonardo DiCaprio has been partying in and around Brazil for much of the past week and a half. Apparently, he rented out a massive yacht, Topaz, owned by ?the Abu Dhabi billionaire Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan bin Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan.? Seriously. The yacht is the fifth largest privately-owned yacht in the world. Leo invited 21 friends to party with him and watch the World Cup. The yacht includes: ?three swimming pools, a gym, Jacuzzi, fitness hall, cinema and helipad.? I?ve also read a few stories about Leo ?bringing in? some Brazilian girls for the party that never ends (also known as ?his life?).
But it wasn?t all fun and games on $600 million yachts (which make gas-guzzling SUVs look quaint). Leo also flew to Washington DC this week (just for a day) to attend the State Department?s Our Ocean Conference. Not only did he attend ? Leo also opened his wallet.
Leo DiCaprio, who?s often seen partying on multimillion- dollar yachts, got out his wallet for the waters this week. He pledged $7 million from his foundation for ocean conservation at the State Department?s Our Ocean Conference in Washington, DC.
Secretary of State John Kerry said of DiCaprio?s environmental efforts, after giving the scruffy star a hug: ?He doesn?t just lend his name .?.?. He does his homework. He knows the issues.?
DiCaprio said, ?[I?m] here as a concerned citizen of this planet.?
[From Page Six]
Is this hypocrisy? While I think it?s good that Leo is so generous ? and seriously, $7 million is a lot of money ? I also think that Leo could do a better job of walking the walk in his private life. The yachts, the private jets, the huge, unnecessary ?eco-condos? ? there?s a lot of waste happening there. I guess you could say that most big celebrities have a big carbon footprint no matter what, and at least Leo is trying to do something to help out the environment?

I usually save my rants about the one-percenters for the political operatives who are literally trying to screw the poor and the middle class, but I might have to make an exception for Leonardo DiCaprio. I know Leo is a big leftie and he gives money to a lot of environmental causes/charities/businesses. But at some point, the wide chasm between ?how Leo lives? and ?how the rest of us live? is just too great. Leo recently purchased an eight-figure apartment in the Delos building in Greenwich Village. The apartment building is WELL Certified, which means that it has tons of features/extras for the average environmentally-conscious limousine liberal. Just wait.
Leonardo DiCaprio has just closed on a $10 million apartment at the green Delos building in Greenwich Village. ?The Wolf of Wall Street? star has purchased a two-bedroom, 2 /?-bath apartment on the fourth floor of the building at 66 E. 11th St., under the corporation name of Malibu Colony PCH Property, LLC, sources tell Page Six.
The ?WELL Certified? building includes amenities such as vitamin C-infused showers, purified air and water, a circulated aromatherapy air supply, posture-supportive heat reflexology flooring and ?dawn simulation? provided by a circadian lighting design. Donna Karan?s Urban Zen is even providing a ?wellness concierge to curate and coordinate your daily wellness experience.?
We?re told Leo ? who owns a $100,000 Fisker Karma hybrid car ? can even use a $1 million parking spot, the first at that price, which comes with another of the building?s units, an 8,000-square-foot duplex penthouse, until the apartment is sold. Broker Dolly Lenz and a spokesman for DiCaprio both declined to comment. Leo last month picked up an $8 million unit adjacent to a $4 million apartment he owns at the eco-friendly 2 River Terrace in Battery Park City.

I’m surprised it doesn’t come with a LEED-certified butt-washer. Seriously, though. I was okay with the Vitamin C-infused showers. I was okay with purified air and water. But somewhere along the ?posture-supportive heat reflexology flooring,? I just started rolling my eyes. So, Leo has heated floors. But they are the fanciest heated floors EVER, because they are ?posture-supportive.? Oh, and the whole dawn simulation thing? JUST OPEN YOUR CURTAINS, YOU ELITEST D-BAG.
So, am I just jelly? For sure. I would love to experience that level of luxury. I would love to have a spare $10 million to drop on a two bedroom condo (New York real estate, sheesh). So, yeah, I am jelly. But I?m also justifiably irritated.
(PS? even though I used the term ?limousine liberal? as a pejorative against Leo, I would still prefer Leo?s brand of eco-privilege to, say, the Koch Brothers.)

Do you think Leonardo DiCaprio keeps tabs on George Clooney?s personal life? I do. I think Leo prides himself on having ?official? girlfriends who have more of a legit career than George?s usual girlfriends. George traditionally dated C-list types, former wrestlers, bunga-bunga girls and Vegas hostesses, while Leo has always dated the top-tier models. And even if the models are the biggest names in the industry when he starts up with them, the models see their fame rise sharply, and it?s not even Leo calling in favors to his friends.
So what does Leo think of George?s engagement to a woman of substance and education, a woman with her own important career? I would imagine that Leo was taken aback ? that?s against the rules, George! So Leo might want to let people know that he can get serious too. Thus, this story in In Touch:
Leo may finally have found the one! A source exclusively reveals to In Touch that Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend, Victoria?s Secret model Toni Garrn, have taken the next step in their relationship ? they moved in together!
?Leo bought the apartment [in March] and quickly moved Toni in with him,? a source reveals exclusively to In Touch.
The Wolf of Wall Street star ditched his NYC bachelor pad and bought the $8 million, 2,300-square-foot unit in the same luxe Battery Park City building.
?It seems like they?re really enjoying living together,? the source tells In Touch, adding that the couple of nearly a year always look ?happy? and ?relaxed? when spotted in the building.
[From In Touch Weekly]
I don?t really believe this is such a huge step for Leo. He lived with Gisele, and I believe Bar Refaeli also lived with Leo in his NYC apartment. Erin Heatherton was allowed to stay at his place for a while too. He doesn?t have a problem with physical proximity. His problem is just marriage. And I think that will George?s problem too. So maybe Leo is just waiting to see if George really has changed that much.

Leonardo DiCaprio is still with Toni Garrn. Seriously. I?m a little bit surprised, aren?t you? These are photos of Leo and Toni out and about at the Beverly Hills Farmers Market over the weekend. Once Leo realized that there was at least one photographer around, he tried to physically distance himself from Toni. Why are those photos making me laugh so much?! Toni is even looking at him like, ?RLY??
How long has Toni been around? I feel like it?s been about a year, right? Something like that. This relationship reminds me a bit of Leo?s thing with Bar Refaeli ? Bar got a lot of work because she was ?Leo?s girl? and in exchange, Bar pretty much let Leo do whatever he want. Toni is at Leo?s side when he wants her, and when he doesn?t want her around, she?s nowhere to be found. They did the whole awards season like that too. She didn?t attend one major event with Toni at all. So, while Toni gets to be his ?official? girlfriend, Leo still gets to do whatever he wants. Doesn?t it ever get old, Leo?
One nice thing: I like that Leo is wearing flip-flops. That might be a controversial opinion, because some people have very strong feelings about men?s feet. But I HATE it when it?s warm enough to wear flip-flops and a dude is still wearing sneakers and socks (or in Justin Theroux?s case, Doc Martens). I like that Leo is okay with his feet.

Leonardo DiCaprio is having an awful week. People are looking him not as a four-time Oscar nominee but a four-time Oscar loser. Which is really no big deal if one is gracious like Amy Adams, who truly is overdue for a win. The problem is that Leo really thought that this would be his year. That wily Texan, Matthew McConaughey, snatched Leo’s dream away by grabbing that statue. Now the internet is abuzz with a “Poor Leo” meme.
I think this happened because Matthew not only returned to serious acting in a very convincing way, but he also killed it in a better role in a more Oscar-worthy movie than Leo’s turn in a tale of excess. Leo’s interviews also seemed a little bit forced. He kept insisting that he’d never done drugs and spoke hilariously about his ideal lady while continuing to mack on supermodels. We’ve heard buzzings from the tabloids that even Marty Scorsese told Leo to tone it down if he wanted an Oscar. I’m starting to think maybe the Academy also appreciates the idea of a family man like Matthew more than a guy who is the subject of “supermodel vagina” jokes at the Globes. I could be wrong. The Academy does love George Clooney.
I’m getting carried away from the subject of this post. Leo has been sued for his role as producer of Out of the Furnace. The gritty crime drama came out last December and boasted an incredible cast and trailer. Christian Bale, Woody Harrelson, Casey Affleck and Zoe Saldana — what could go wrong? The movie did bomb at the box office, and now Leo’s getting sued over the film. Why? The movie portrays mountain people as hillbillies and “inbreds.” 8 members of the Ramapo mountain people say the movie is about them, and they’ve been defamed and harassed as a result. Ruh-roh:
Leonardo DiCaprio has won several awards for Wolf of Wall Street, but his movie Out of the Furnace just got him sued! DiCaprio was a producer on the 2013 film based on the Ramapo Mountain people of New Jersey. Now, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned, a group of those individuals is suing the actor and many others involved with the film, claiming that they were unfairly portrayed as drug-using “inbreds” in the movie – and now they’re suffering from “emotional distress!”
According to court documents obtained by Radar, eight members of the Ramapo Mountain community filed a defamation lawsuit in New Jersey on January 2 over the film starring Casey Affleck and Christian Bale.
In particular, they take issue with statements in the film calling the Ramapo Mountain people “inbred mountain folk from Jersey” who “have fights” and are “nasty” and “crazy.”
They insist, “Out of the Furnace characterizes the Ramapo Mountain people in an extremely negative manner,” with Woody Harrelson’s character Harlen DeGroat (a common Ramapo name) “characterized as the most awful human walking.”
“The movie and [a review] in the New York Post,” another defendant in the case, “places Plaintiffs and their family members in a false light,” the court documents claim. “Each have had an extremely negative effect on the Plaintiff’s community. It is extremely embarrassing to the Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs and their family members are harassed and discriminated against. The children are teased at school.”
“The conduct of the defendants constitutes defamation …” the papers claim, as well as false light and intentional infliction of emotional distress. “The Plaintiffs are not the worst people, do not live in trailer homes, are not involved in an underground bare-knuckle fight ring, and do not live in a self-contained world of drugs and violence.”
As such, they claim to “continue to suffer emotional and psychological damages,” and want a jury to award them restitutions “in an amount to be determined by a jury.”
[From Radar Online]
I don’t know how much of a case the Plaintiffs really have. Lots of film and television projects portray mountain people in a negative light. Most recently, Justified has been guilty of creating characters that are anything but flattering to mountain people. I think the problem here is that Woody Harrelson’s character has the same last name as many people in the Ramapo community. That’s why these people say they’ve been harassed because of the movie. The only problem is … no one watched the movie.
Who knows how this will play out. Should Leo and his team have been more considerate of mountain people? Many parts of the US deal with the “hillbilly” label on a regular basis. Should we be more sensitive to that label? I think describing a group of people as “inbred” goes wayyy too far.

Giving the ladies plenty to swoon over, Leonardo DiCaprio stepped out in London, England this evening (February 16) for the 2014 EE British Academy Film Awards.
The "Wolf of Wall Street" superstar couldn?t wait to show off his snazzy attire as he hit the red carpet outside the Royal Opera House ahead of the night?s festivities.
Given the field of nominees for Best Film this year, it?s anybody?s guess which highly-acclaimed flick will come out on top.
The illustrious list is comprised of ?12 Years a Slave,? ?American Hustle,? ?Captain Phillips,? ?Gravity? and ?Philomena.?

Wow, Leonardo DiCaprio is seriously campaigning for the Oscar this year. I don?t remember him ever waging this kind of real ?campaign? before, not for the other times he was nominated. Maybe he really wants it this year. Maybe he figures that his biggest competition is Matthew McConaughey and why not give Matthew a real run for his money? So, Leo agreed to this Variety Mag cover profile and it?s pretty epic. Leo?s quotes are charming, humble and serious when they need to be. Marty Scorsese sings his praises. Tobey Maguire is called on to fill out the requisite ?Leo is the most amazing actor of his generation? profile stuff. It?s a really great piece of Oscar campaigning. You can read the whole thing here, and here are some highlights:
Being a child actor: ?When I started acting, I didn?t think of it as a career. I always thought Hollywood was this magical world where a fairy came down and said, ?Come live with the Munchkins; you are now one of us.??? He laughs. ?I didn?t understand the concept of it as a career. I thought I would save up enough money to go to college.?
Growing up in ?Prostitution Alley?: ?I saw all the moral decay you could, beginning at 2 years old. But I also got to see how the other half lived.? That was thanks to a to scholarship to University Elementary School, a magnet program of UCLA, in the tony Westwood section of Los Angeles. His mother would drive him 45 minutes to school and back every day. ?I could see that this other world was out there. And if I could only get my shot, I would never waste the opportunity. That mentality and that gratitude are still in me.?
The criticisms of Wolf of Wall Street: ?We knew we were doing a movie about incredibly distasteful people, and their likability would be questioned,? DiCaprio acknowledges. ?But Marty said, ?I?ve done a lot of movies like this, and I find that if you?re authentic in your portrayal of their nature and don?t try to give them a false sense of motivation, audiences will go along with you on the journey.???
Why Leo has been going the extra mile to promote WOWS: ?I really wanted this movie to succeed, because to me, you don?t see R-rated films like this getting made that aren?t on an epic scale. So I?m glad this film is now in the green. Studios ultimately look at what works and what doesn?t, and greenlight the things that do.?
Turning down a lot of money when he was just a teenager: He was offered ?more money than I ever dreamed of? to take a role in the Disney family film ?Hocus Pocus.? But he decided he wanted to hold out for a small indie for which he hadn?t even auditioned yet, ?What?s Eating Gilbert Grape.? ?I don?t know where the hell I got the nerve,? he says now. ?You live in an environment where you?re influenced by people telling you to make a lot of money and strike while the iron?s hot. But if there?s one thing I?m very proud of, it?s being a young man who was sticking to my guns.?
Early fame: ?When I was 14, I was on the cover of Bop and Tiger Beat. Every two months, I would see a new kid?s face, and I remember saying, ?This is not something that lasts very long.???
Leo the producer: ?To tell you the truth, my producer cap is a very selfish one. On the road to finding material for myself, we accumulate other things that are interesting. I?m very active in putting a team together, deciding what the focus of the story should be. Because if the right people aren?t chosen from the start, a great idea can turn out very different. But once you give it over to a filmmaker, you have to allow them to do their thing.?
He auditioned for Moulin Rouge: Years earlier, he met with Luhrmann about the role in ?Moulin Rogue!? that eventually went to Ewan Mcgregor. ?To be honest, I?m not really prepared to do a musical, simply because I think I have a pretty atrocious voice,? he notes. ?But we had a friendly thing where it was me and him and a piano player, and we tried to sing a song together. It didn?t go too well. I think it was ?Lean on Me,? and when I hit the high note, he just turned to me.? At this point, DiCaprio affects Luhrmann?s Australian accent, ???Yes, D, I don?t know if this conversation should continue.??? With that, DiCaprio dissolves into laughter. ?The truth is,? he says, ?I honestly feel just so lucky to make movies.?
[From Variety]
There?s a lengthy discussion of his preparation for Gilbert Grape and for his big dramatic breakout in This Boy?s Life. Peppered throughout the piece are some choice bits of information too: Leo?s had the same manager for 20 years, Leo still has an acting coach for tune-ups, Leo is extremely loyal to his business associates and his friends, Leo is An Artist and A Serious Actor. Here?s the thing: I have no doubt that Leo will eventually win an Oscar. He?s very respected in the Hollywood circles that matter, and he turns in consistently good work in films that make money. They?ll give him an Oscar at some point. I just don?t know if they?ll give him an Oscar for WOWS. That being said, I’m enjoying his campaign. We’ll see, Leo. We’ll see.
