Leonardo DiCaprio covers the latest issue of NY Mag to promote The Wolf of Wall Street. This movie is the one where Leo dances and throws money to play his stockbroker character, Jordan Belfort, whose memoir forms the basis of the movie. The trailer gave off strong Goodfellas vibes, but in this piece Scorsese steps in and insists that he does not draw parallels between stockbrokers and the mafia. Scorsese sees Jordan merely as an old-fashioned scam artist who managed to skim about $100 million off the top end. The good times did not last.
Leo talks a lot in this interview about his process with Scorsese. These two are no ordinary actor-director combo. Leo has pretty much been Scorsese’s muse ever since Robert De Niro decided to stop making good movies (with the exception of Silver Linings Playbook last year). Here are some details from Leo himself on the debauchery in Wolf of Wall Street:
Leo talked Scorsese into Wolf: “I told Marty, ‘I don?t think we?ll be able to do a movie like this too many times in the futur.[ Larger-scale, R-rated dramas, like Blood Diamond or The Departed, don?t really get financed anymore."
The author wanted Scorsese too: "Marty directing was Jordan?s dream scenario, absolutely. When Marty couldn't do it the first time, I set it up with a few other directors, but I never felt comfortable pulling the trigger. I was fixated on him. There wasn't anybody else who could bring the rawness and toughness, the music, and particularly the humor required to convey the excitement of these young punks--these robber barons--taking on the Wall Street system."
On Leo's character: "The book personified America?s addiction to obtaining wealth at all costs, and that hasn?t changed. He was a small fish in a gigantic pond, and he'd motivate his guys by telling them they were heroes for taking on the big houses. Un-regulated Wall Street was like the Wild West. There was nothing Jordan wouldn?t divulge, no matter how intimate or embarrassing. That was the attraction for Marty as well--it's the kind of brutal honesty that got Marty into making movies like Mean Streets."
Leo and Scorsese are one: "Marty said to me early on, 'No matter the genre, no matter what kind of movie, people respond to the honesty in the characters.' We weren't interested in sentimentalizing Jordan. We aren?t painting a portrait of someone we want people to feel sorry for. Later in the film, when his life starts breaking apart, people are going to think he?s making the wrong decisions constantly. That?s not to say that people won?t be rooting for him, because he?s a likable guy."
Leo got to know Jordan: "I wanted a close relationship with him so that I could weave intimate details into the movie. Things that weren?t in the book. I was kind of the middleman between him and Marty, and I would bring pages of notes from my meetings with Jordan--things like this insane orgy on a 747 going to Vegas, chimpanzees in diapers that would skate through the Stratton offices, very intimate stuff about his relationships with women--and Marty was game to try everything. His approach was essentially to put everything onscreen and see what we responded to. It was old-school, really independent filmmaking on a larger scale."
Leo on dry-humping a stewardess for the movie: "It?s a modern-day Caligula. The height of debauchery."

Hmm. Is it just me, or does Leo’s horndog character sort of remind you of Leo himself? Leo has quite the reputation for debauchery and suppposedly bedded 7 women during Cannes this year. I’m just saying, there are similarities to be had. I’m guessing Scorsese may have picked up on this vibe too, but I’m sure he won’t tell on his muse.

Finally emerging from his blanket fort, Leonardo DiCaprio tried his hand at flyboarding while wearing a dorky life vest and helmet.
As if his life wasn’t fantastic enough, DiCaprio can now fly AND he has a hot model friend watching him in amazement. They’re probably going to do it later. Meanwhile, I’m sitting here in my underwear searching for the Cheeto I dropped under my bed. Hey, maybe there’s a hot model under there! Hm, nope. Just a rat eating my Cheeto. *Sighs*

Here are just a handful of photos from Leonardo DiCaprio?s wild and crazy Ibiza vacation. I?m sure you?ve seen some of the other photos too ? Leo got pap?d making out with his summer girlfriend Toni Garrn, and I guess the paparazzi have just completely decamped to Ibiza, waiting out more photos of Leo and his friends. I see Ethan Suplee in these photos ? he?s an old-school member of the P-ssy Posse. Vladimir Doronin also seems to be on the yacht in these photos ? this is possibly Doronin?s yacht. Vlad and Leo became bros years ago, back when Vlad only got invited to Hollywood events because of Naomi Campbell. I don?t see Vlad?s girlfriend Luo Zilin in these photos, but maybe I?m not looking hard enough? oh, wait!! I see her.
When Leo wants to ?hide? from the paps, he puts a towel over his head and wanders around. But other times, it seems like he doesn?t care and he?s just living his life. I guess he?s taking precautions not to get pap?d making out with Toni again though. And I have to say? the photos of Leo in the white t-shirt? that?s the most attractive he?s looked in a while.
Apparently, the activity with the weird boot things is called ?flyboarding?. It looks crazy-dangerous.

Here’s Leonardo DiCaprio in Ibiza on his yacht peeking out of his blanket fort. “Pew pew pew,” he said while pretending to make a call to the president on his cell phone.

I can?t believe we?re still talking about what did or did not happen to Leonardo DiCaprio during the Cannes Film Festival. I guess this is when you know you?re really a super-star celebrity: people are still talking obsessively about what went down when you blew through town seven weeks beforehand. Anyway, as we already know, Leo was kind of gross at this year?s Cannes Film Festival. He spent the entire time partying, yacht-hopping, promoting his movie and trying to nail anything with two legs and a pulse. Allegedly, Cara Delevingne wasn?t having any of it, but Leo did end up finding a girlfriend (20-year-old Toni Garrn), but only after having sex with a steady stream of ladies and models and such. Well, as it turns out, Leo kind of destroyed his hotel room in the process of all of that bonin?.
Leonardo DiCaprio doesn?t have a party-boy reputation for nothing! Star has learned that he racked up $50,000 in damages to his suite in the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc during the Cannes Film Festival!
?Every night, Leo would throw parties,? a source tells Star. ?He left cigarette burns on the carpet, bed and couch. And the bathtub and toilet were clogged, which caused a huge mess, and women?s underwear was everywhere!?
But, the source notes, Leo did seem to pick up some of Jay Gatsby?s infamously impeccable manners.
?He was definitely a gentleman in the end and gladly forked up the money to pay the $50,000 bill for the damage.?
[From Star, print edition]
Sure, he was a ?gentleman? for paying for the damage, but I wouldn?t say he was a gentleman when he was creating all of that mess. It reminds me of Leo?s hotel-room-destroying youth. Or am I confusing that with the character he played in Woody Allen’s Celebrity?
Also, Leo totally partied with his mom over the Fourth of July:
Leonardo DiCaprio and his mother had fun with their new significant others at a celebrity-packed Fourth of July party. The playboy actor was spotted canoodling with Victoria?s Secret model Toni Garrn in front of his mom, Irmelin Indenbirken, who brought her new boyfriend to the bash.
We?re told the ?Great Gatsby? star hit the dance floor with Garrn at a party thrown by Madonna?s manager Guy Oseary, Spotify and DeLeon Tequila at Nobu in Malibu. Nearby, his mom danced with her beau, David, whom she?s been dating for a year.
One guest told us, ?While Leo was proud to introduce his mom to everyone, he was getting down on the dance floor canoodling with Garrn, while mom danced with her boyfriend,? says a source.
We?re told when a partygoer asked how Indenbirken met her new amour, David revealed their kids had played Cupid. ?He said Leo and his [own] daughter, the wife of a Black Keys band member, set them up on a blind date, and they?ve been together ever since,? said our witness.
The source continued, ?The two danced next to Leo, who had sunglasses on the entire night, and partied away until the wee hours.?
Other celebrities in attendance included Charlize Theron, Owen Wilson, Ed Norton, Mel Gibson, Woody Harrelson, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, and Stacy Kiebler, who was there minus boyfriend George Clooney.
?Get Lucky? creators Daft Punk were also on the guest list, but the French duo had some trouble at the door. ?They have thick accents,? says a witness, and security could not understand one of the pair?s names. ?They were held at the door until Guy Oseary himself walked in while the exchange was happening, and pulled them in.?
DiCaprio and Garrn were first spotted on a yacht in Nice following the Monaco Formula One Grand Prix in May, and were seen in June touring the palace of Versailles in France.

I kind of feel bad for Toni because Leo is never really going to let another woman into his life in any real way because his mom is his permanent lady. Leo?s relationship with his mom is half-adorable and half-?oh, that?s why you?re a compulsive modelizer and womanizer.? But I guess it?s cute that Leo set his mom up with a boyfriend.

Looking to stock up on some Fourth of July goodies, Leonardo DiCaprio hit up a Malibu, California grocery store this morning (July 4).
The ?Catch Me If You Can? star seemed to be enjoying himself as he sipped a cup of coffee and waited in line sporting a pair of sunglasses with a straw sun hat and white v-neck.
As for the claim that Leo ?racked up $50,000 in damages to his suite in the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc during the Cannes Film Festival? from The Sun, it turns out the tabloid is just trying to sell papers.
They claimed, ?Every night, Leo would throw parties. He left cigarette burns on the carpet, bed and couch. And the bathtub and toilet were clogged, which caused a huge mess, and women?s underwear was everywhere!?
Given that the Cannes Festival was back in May, it?s clear The Sun had a slow news week and had to make something up. A source close to DiCaprio simply stated, ?It?s not true.?

Here are even more photos of Leonardo DiCaprio at the French Open over the weekend. I think Leo just went from the South of France to Paris after the Cannes Film Festival. And why not? He?s on holiday. And he seems to love tennis. I?m trying to figure out if the lady beside him is Toni Garrn. Toni is definitely in France with him ? Leo took Toni to Versailles last week and there were (blurry) photos. So is this Toni beside him? I can?t tell. I know that Lucas Haas is on the other side. Of course.
In a weird turn of events, there?s news about a possible/probably project for Leo. Yes, he?s ?taking a break? right now, but he?s also thinking ahead for what his next project will be a year from now or whenever. And that project is? a possible bio-pic of Rasputin?! In case you?re not familiar with Rasputin, his life story is straight-up cray. He was like a real-life wizard/magician and he worked for the last Czar and Czarina of Russia, Nicholas and Alexandra. Yes, I watch the History Channel. Rasputin?s life is fascinating, and it will be interesting to see how this could possibly translate on film:
Warner Bros has acquired Rasputin, a pitch by American Sniper scribe Jason Hall that will be developed for Leonardo DiCaprio to play the Russian mystic who became an advisor to the Russian Imperial family the Romanovs. Embraced by Tsar Nicholas II and Alexandra as a healer for their only son, Tsarevich Alexei, who secretly suffered from hemophilia, Rasputin?s influence with the family in all matters grew to the point that rivals tried several times to kill him, finally succeeding in 1916. The film will be produced by Langley Park?s Kevin McCormick, by DiCaprio?s Appian Way partner Jennifer Davisson Killoran and Peter Morgan, who?s a producer on the Hall-scripted adaptation of American Sniper, which Steven Spielberg will direct with Bradley Cooper playing Navy SEAL elite sniper Chris Kyle.
This will become the blind script commitment I wrote that Hall had made at Warner Bros, this coming after that studio and DreamWorks teaming up on American Sniper. The screenwriter is also in early talks to adapt as a possible Spielberg project the David Finkel book Thank You For Your Service, about the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder syndrome that is becoming a major issue for vets returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
There have been numerous movies made about Rasputin and the controversial role he played in the Russian court, but there were new elements here unearthed by Hall that sparked DiCaprio?s interest and gave psychological depth to the so called ?mad monk.? To his enemies, he was a charlatan who prolifically bedded women, possibly including the Tsar?s wife. DiCaprio liked the complicated elements of a child who lost the better part of himself when his brother died, and was capable of kindness but also a ruthlessness. Rasputin, who earlier had survived being stabbed, was shot, strangled, shot again, all in one night, and finally drowned when thrown into the icy Neva River.
[From Deadline]
What?s interesting to me is that there actually is a likeness between Leo and Rasputin ? go here to see a photo of Rasputin. He was not an attractive man and he had haunting (and haunted) eyes. I know I should be yelling about this, but I am genuinely fascinated by the idea of Leo playing him. Am I wrong in thinking that Leo might actually be able to pull it off?

Things were a little rough for Leonardo DiCaprio at Cannes last week when reports came out that Cara Delevingne didn’t want to go up to his hotel room. Many, okay, I, hoped he was finally losing his touch. Turns out that’s not the case. Dammit. Says NYDN,
The ?Great Gatsby? star was snapped Sunday arriving back in Nice after watching the Monaco Formula One Grand Prix with German stunner Toni Garrn.
The couple and a group of friends then boarded a yacht for more fun in the sun.
?They?ve been getting quite close over the last week. There is definitely chemistry there,? said a source.
I don’t get it. Sure, Leo’s rich, handsome and a respected actor but I’m just like him. A handsome blogger who can order a mean McDonald’s extra value meal. C’mon, ladies. Give me your number.

Ready to enjoy an evening out, Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz were among the attendees at the Tag Heuer yacht party in Monte Carlo, Monaco on Saturday (May 25).
Dressed to impress in a clingy white frock, the ?Bad Teacher? actress cozied up to the ?Great Gatsby? hunk on the arrivals carpet, even doing a little shimmy together.
On Thursday night, the 38-year-old heartthrob auctioned off a trio to space for $1.5 million, with proceeds going to the Foundation for Aids Research.
The lucky winner will spend a few days training with the actor before blasting off on Virgin Galactic's SpaceshipTwo.
According to reports, the ship should be ready for launch sometime before the end of the year.

Page Six reports that Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted hanging out at Catch Roof on Monday with Axl Rose, Tobey Maguire, Jonah Hill and Michael K. Williams.
?They were seated at a VIP table surrounded by tons of security,? says a spy. ?They looked like a modern-day Rat Pack.? Earlier, another witness saw Rose enjoying dinner at the eatery with ?a harem of ladies,? and was overheard discussing plans to, somewhat alarmingly, ?buy a tiger.?
I need an explanation as to why Axl Rose wants to buy a tiger. How is that even a good idea? He looks like a Butterball turkey. That’s probably not a good thing when you own a carnivorous animal with thousands of years of instinct bred into it.
