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.

Leonardo DiCaprio covers the may issue of Esquire magazine to promote Baz Luhrman’s upcoming take on The Great Gatsby, and thank goodness Leo isn’t in character for this shoot like poor Carey Mulligan in Vogue. Actually, I’m pretty impressed by this cover and editorial because Leo is usually so boring in photo shoots. Like, he always looks just like himself, and stylists don’t know how to mix it up with the guy, but he was clearly having fun with Esquire. On the cover itself, Leo is sending out some Philip Seymour Hoffman vibes with those expressive eyebrows. Don’t laugh! I’m really seeing it. Then in one of the below shots (I’ll let you guess which one), he’s pulling a serious Jack Nicholson face. In this one below, he looks like a real movie star in the true sense of the word. Color me impressed.
Sadly, the interview is another story altogether. Why have Esquire and its journos decided to be so damn weird lately? For awhile, I appreciated their unconventional methods of tackling their subjects — such as the time they sent a guy who had never heard of Gerard Butler to interview Gerard Butler — but now the routine is getting tired. It’s like the magazine is so afraid to give a straight interview that they are largely forgetting to ask any questions at all, so they’re basically just letting the stars ramble about whatever. In this instance, the journo takes great interest in the fact that Leo cracks his neck at the beginning of their talk. The guy starts to analyze why Leo would do so and what it all means (seriously) and really goes overboard by writing several paragraphs about it, which I omitted from the excerpts (but you can read it here). In the meantime, here’s some stuff that Leo actually said:
On his bachelor ways: “Six months of being on location or being off in Morocco or someplace like that is not the best thing for a relationship.”
On his work ethic: “I always thought of myself as the underdog, because I didn?t have nice enough clothes or maybe my hair didn?t look good. And so you have to understand ? getting your foot in the door is like winning the lottery. It?s literally like winning the lottery if you get to have a career. And I?ve always felt, Okay, now I?ve gotten this shot, and I?m lucky to have gotten this shot, and if I don?t do this to the best of my ability — if I don?t work my ass off and make a life of it — I?ve squandered this incredibly golden opportunity. And that?s always been what has propelled me.”
On early days as a teen idol: “I really didn?t understand what fame was and I didn?t understand what being in a giant hit was and I didn?t understand what a giant hit Titanic was compared to other giant hits. There was no rule book. There was nobody to navigate me through the experience of being watched all the time and nobody to tell me how to be normal when everybody is acting and looking at me differently.”
On growth: “Most recently, the last few years, I feel way more comfortable than I’ve ever felt. You always talk about that, and then one day you’re like: If they don’t like this, well, f*** ‘em. What can you do? It’s a resignation to life and who you are. Hey, look, I’m pretty well-formed as an adult now. I don’t have to impress anybody. You ask yourself these different questions: What do I want to do? Interesting question: What do I want to do? What makes me really happy? I’ve learned all these things that I’m supposed to do. I know I’m supposed to be in that place and do that thing… but to really, deeply ask yourself that question — What do I want to do? Most recently, the last few years, I feel way more comfortable than I’ve ever felt.”
[From Esquire]
I don’t know whether Leo really believes what he’s saying about how his relationships don’t last because he’s just such a busy guy with such a demanding schedule. Certainly, I don’t buy that excuse because he’s a proud 38-year-old modelizer who shows no intention of quitting his game, but I guess it works for him. God, this interview was such a wasted opportunity, and that’s not Leo’s fault.
Now I’ll say it again — Leo looks really good in this shoot. Usually, I envision him as a grumpy chihuahua, and someone mentioned in a recent comment that his head looks like a piece of toast, and now I can’t unsee that, but still. These are some good photos of Leo. Still toasty, but kinda handsome and charming too.

Leonardo DiCaprio covers the February issue of August magazine, which is a men’s style rag that I’ve never heard of. The cover isn’t the most flattering shot of Leo, but you can see the rest of the shoot, which is slightly better, at Just Jared. I’ll get to some interview excerpts in a moment, but first I wanted to talk about a brand new story about single Leo on the prowl. When he broke up with Erin Heatherton last November, Leo reportedly dated co-star Margot Robbie immediately afterwards, but we haven’t heard much about Margot in at least a month. Since then, Leo has announced an indefinite break from acting, which means that he’s been yachting with Naomi Campell and friends as well as taking time to shoot a Jack Daniels commerical.
In addition, Leo has also apparently been trying to find a new model girlfriend. By now, it’s kind of a joke that Leo’s M.O. consists of ordering his giflfriends from the Victoria’s Secret catalog. He’s been with Gisele Bunchen, Bar Refaeli, and Erin, and rumor has it that he and Miranda Kerr have been flirty and cozy together too. So who else’s dog-eared lingerie shots has Leo been fondling in the bathroom? Well, Rosie-Huntington Whiteley for one, and Jason Statham isn’t having it at all. Here are the details:
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley may be gorgeous but she is very much taken, not that Jason Statham’s girlfriend’s relationship status seemed to bother Leonardo DiCaprio who apparently was spotted trying to chat up the stunning model!
An insider at Harvey Weinstein’s Golden Globes after party has told Now Magazine that ladies man Leo tried to make a move for model Rosie. Hardman Jason, who has been dating Rosie for almost three years, soon shut down the flirting though:
“After some small talk, Leo introduced Rosie to his posse and poured her a glass of bubbly. She seemed interested, but unaware that Leo was smitten,” the source alleges. “When Jason spotted his gal with Leo, he summoned her to his side and didn’t let her out of his sight for the rest of the evening.”
Undeterred, confirmed bachelor Leo apparently just moved onto to another hot girl to continue his flirting. Taking things in his stride, Leo soon made a play for another hot girl.
[From Entertainmentwise]
Atta boy, Jason. The dude might not make movies about thinking, but he’s not stupid. Leo’s reputation as a modelizer definitely precedes him, and if he tries this stunt again, Jason would easily be able to kick Leo’s ass into next July. How funny. Now back to Leo’s interview with August Man, and here are some excerpts:
Why he loves acting: “It’s always an eternal sort of mystery in making movies, and that’s the great fun, challenge, and excitement about doing what I do. As an actor, I do everything possible to tell a great story in a truly artistic way, but at the end of the day you never know how critics and audiences are going to respond.”
On getting older: “I guess the big 4-0 hasn’t entered my consciousness yet. I believe it’s very important to look back on the choices you’ve made and re-analyse where you want your life to go and the things you want to do as an individual. I came from a lower middle-class background where, for me, being an actor never seemed like an achievable dream. Once I got my first opportunity to work on a movie, it’s really been a mad rush to fulfil that dream.”
His goals for the future: “My goal is to keep doing great work? I haven’t stopped yet and hopefully the work will never stop. While I’m here, I will always have that drive to not only produce great work, but to make a difference in the world.”
His back-up career plan “In my adult life, my environmental work and activism remain a priority. I created a foundation that focuses on raising public awareness of the very important issues concerning our planet, our environment, and the impact we as people have on the world we live in? It is not only an extremely fulfilling and gratifying learning experience, but has also taken me to some of the most interesting and beautiful places in the world.”
[From August Man]
I know that Leo is commonly regarded as one of the greatest actors of his generation, but it’s still a bit jarring to see that he also sees himself that way with the “great work” comment. I’d wonder whatever happened to humility, but I guess Leo’s early success and lucky dovetail into Martin Scorsese’s waiting arms (after Robert DeNiro proved to be such a disappointment during recent decades) means that he never has to worry about not having the luxury of choosing from quality scripts.
Just for kicks, here are some older covers from Leo’s appearances in the July 2010 and August 2011 issues of August Man. His face has changed rather rapidly in just a few years, right?

It’s no secret that I’m not the biggest fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, and I’ve long referred to him as “the grumpy chihuahua” for reasons that I cannot ever remember; that is, besides the obvious. For the vast majority of his career, I’ve enjoyed Leo in a few choice roles (Romeo + Juliet, Catch Me If You Can, and The Basketball Diaries), but I honestly find most of his recent work (such as Inception) to be fairly overrated. Leo has made a name for himself as a diverse actor, but I observe him to be largely a one-note thespian, and I feel like if Martin Scorsese hadn’t taken Leo under his wing, then his acting career wouldn’t have remained nearly as elevated to this date. I’m also not terribly fond of the way Leo conducts himself in his personal life either, what with Pu**y Posse and an endless cache of Victoria’s Secret models under his belt.
However, I am going to give Leo a huge break from now on at least in regards to his acting — not that he’ll notice or care what I think of him, but his work as Calvin Candie in Django Unchained was just so over the top and deliciously malicious that I had to watch it more than once. The boy did good. At this moment in time though, Leo is ready for an indefinite vacation from working. Will you miss him?
This could be Leonardo DiCaprio’s last awards season for a while. The actor has announced he’s retiring from acting indefinitely. “I’m a little bit drained,” he told German newspaper Bild. “I am now going to take a long long break.”
After doing three films in two years – Django Unchained, The Great Gatsby and the recently-finished The Wolf of Wall Street – DiCaprio says, “I’m just worn out.”
Publicity tours for those films still loom, however, but DiCaprio, 38, has other plans for when his schedule slows down. “I would like to improve the world a bit,” he says. “I will fly around the world doing good for the environment.”
In the meantime, he’s living green at home. “My roof is covered with solar panels,” he revealed. “My car is electric. A normal person does not drive more than 50 kilometers a day. That can be done with a plug.”
[From Page Six]
This is just talk, right? For certain, Leo has led a very hectic year with three major roles in big-budget, blockbuster films. I’m not sure how long he’ll realistically be away when his IMDb profile reveals twenty-three projects in development, but we’ll see. In addition, you can bet that next time Marty Scorsese comes calling, Leo will dutifully quit his break in short order. Those two are thick as Hollywood thieves together.
Does anyone else find it slightly amusing that Leo plans on flying around the world and burning up a ton of carbon credits in order to help save the environment? I admire anyone who is devoted to such a cause, but there’s just so much work to be done at home that travelling the globe to do so seems a bit silly and self-defeating. But I guess it’s his thing.
Also, dude really needs to lay off on the self-tanning lotion.
