I recently watched Revolutionary Road, and it took me a while to finally rent it as I’d heard that it was depressing. It was a real downer, but it also felt like a brutally honest film, one in which the color had gone out of a woman’s life and subsequently her marriage. (It bothered me that the children were shown so infrequently in the movie, but they were peripheral to the characters’ lives and I guess it made sense in that context.) The arguments were frustrating and I thought the performances by all the main characters were superb.
Leo recently commented in a kind of vague but telling way about the fact that Kate’s marriage to their director for the film, Sam Mendes, has ended. He said that “Hollywood and this movie business can be a killer for marriages.” Is Leo giving us hints that he’s not the marrying type? I think he’s already demonstrated that. Is he hinting that he knows more about the end of Kate and Sam’s relationship? It’s hard to tell, but Kate was gushing about how much she loved Leo when she was winning awards for that film, and called him more like her husband than Mendes. I never bought the rumors that these two were secret lovers, but they do admit that they’re close friends and I’m sure Kate confided in Leo about her relationship. Here’s more:
The Oscar-winning actress was so disturbed by the relaxed attitude of her husband Sam Mendes ? who she is now separated from ? to the raunchy scenes in 2008 film Revolutionary Road it made her question her marriage.
?It was certainly a difficult time. She was really worried that Sam wasn?t bothered by the fact that his wife was making out with another guy right in front of her,? Leo said. ?I told her it was only acting, but she kept on saying, ?This is really weird.?
?When Sam started telling her exactly how to have sex with me she didn?t like it at all. She was freaking out because she was supposed to be having sex with her best friend ? me ? while her husband directed. But I didn?t find it weird at all. It didn?t bother me, because that?s part of acting.?
Kate and Sam ? who married in secret in the Caribbean in May 2003 ? split in March by ?mutual agreement? and Leonardo thinks Hollywood was responsible for the death of their marriage.
?She loved being a wife,? he said. ?Some people are meant to be married and I think Kate?s one of them, but Hollywood and this movie business can be a killer for marriages.?
Shortly after their split it was reported Kate and Sam had a trial separation in 2009 after falling out while working together on Revolutionary Road.

That’s sweet that Leo called Kate his best friend! A couple of weeks ago we reported on the rumor that Kate had hooked up with a hot male model who worked for Burberry, among other high end designers. Kate was since photographed out with the guy while he was conveniently jogging shirtless, semi-confirming the rumors. I’m sure she doesn’t mind her estranged husband, who was rumored to be getting hot and heavy with a young actress, seeing those photos. Kate and her husband announced their split in March after seven years and a child together. (Kate also has a daughter from her first marriage.) As far as I can tell they have not officially filed for divorce yet. Maybe that’s coming now that Kate has so publicly stepped out with a new man.

Taking some much-earned time off following the release of "Inception," Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted living it up with Bar Refaeli in Sardinia, Italy on Sunday night (August 8).
Making their way to a local nightclub, the beautiful couple joined up with supermodel Naomi Campbell and her man, Vladimir Doronin, in helping to celebrate the birthday of Fawaz Gruosi, founder and president of de Grisogono jewelry.
The outing comes amidst growing rumors that DiCaprio is close to proposing to his Israeli model girlfriend.
A source told the UK's Daily Star, ?He is finally ready to settle down and make it official. Leo has told his closest friend that his mother has been helping him pick out an engagement ring for Bar."
Continuing on, the Daily Star insider adds, ?He?s asked her to move in with him. Bar doesn?t mind spending the night at his bachelor pad, but she isn?t comfortable living there all the time.?

Over the past few years, I?ve really grown to like Leonardo DiCaprio. He?s not one of my imaginary lovers, like Clive Owen or Gerard Butler, but I respect Leo as an actor, and I like who he is as a celebrity. He?s interesting most of the time, but he keeps most of his stuff on the down-low, which is good too. He?s been doing totally solid work too - he was a very solid lead in Inception, although? here?s the thing: I buy Leo as the lead in a thriller, a straight drama, even an action film. But even though his most famous performance was as a romantic lead (in Titanic), I just don?t buy it. He rarely has chemistry with his leading ladies, and I?m not buying it. Anyway, Leo is the cover boy for the new issue of Rolling Stone. The cover shot (below) is nice and brooding, but it?s still good to know that Leo can pull out the old-school Teen Beat shirtless-on-a-bed pose to sell himself (above).
In the box office smash Inception , Leonardo DiCaprio spends most of his time inside people?s dreams. But what’s going inside DiCaprio’s head in real life? In the new issue of Rolling Stone, on sale at newsstands today, associate editor Brian Hiatt finds out. “[My stomach churns over] really stupid stuff,” DiCaprio reveals. “Things that shouldn’t make you anxious whatsoever. It’s crazy how your mind will become this database to make you worry about things that are so arbitrary. I have a well-organized life, and I’ve put a lot of thought into the things that I do, and then, you know, my stomach will be?I’ll just be sitting there, totally anxious about something ridiculous.”
In one of the most intimate portraits yet of the intensely private actor, DiCaprio relaxes enough to smoke a few cigars, have some beers, sing the Cheers theme song (badly) and open up on everything from his wild youth as Hollywood’s hottest heartthrob to a recent brush with death:
On growing up:
“I was essentially a dwarf with the biggest mouth in the world. I would talk back to anyone and be up for any fight, and when you tell a kid that’s three years older than you to shove it, you’re going to get your ass beat?I was a real punk, there’s no question about it.”
On partying in the pre-TMZ age:
“I got to be wild and nuts, and I didn’t suffer as much as people do now, where they have to play it so safe that they ruin their credibility. I didn’t care what anyone thought…. It was also about avoiding the tornado of chaos, of potential downfall. It was, ‘Wow, how lucky are we to not have hung out with that crowd or done those things?’ My two main competitors in the beginning, the blond-haired kids I went to audition with, one hung himself and the other died of a heroin overdose… . I was never into drugs at all. There aren?t stories of me in a pool of my own vomit in a hotel room on the Hollywood Strip.”
On dating:
“I had better success meeting girls before Titanic. My interactions with them didn’t have all the stigma behind it, not to mention there wasn?t a perception of her talking to me for only one reason.”
On dealing with his Titanic fame:
“It was like there was a separate entity out there,” he says. “Not to use a James Cameron reference, but it was like being in a little bit of an avatar.” He cringes. “That’s going to sound extremely self- indulgent. It’s going to sound like, ‘Oh, I was a frickin’ avatar,’ give me a break, I’m already vomiting.”

Oh, yes, Leo has such a tough life, what with all of the supermodels and the huge paychecks and everything. Woe is Leo. No, he doesn?t seem that self-pitying, but it?s there, a little bit. Mostly, I just think Leo spends way too much time thinking about all of the negativity Titanic brought into his life, rather than all of the opportunities it gave him. Eh. When will Leo ever answer my questions about his dirt-lip?

Pushing forth with promotional efforts, Leonardo Di Caprio and Marion Cotillard were arm-in-arm at the Paris premiere of "Inception" on Saturday night (July 10).
Held at Gaumont Champs Elysees, the co-stars both looked fabulous as they joined director Christopher Nolan at the swanky film fete.
Due out in theaters next Friday (July 16), "Inception" also stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page and Ken Watanabe.
A synopsis of the film via IMDB tells, "In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a single idea within one's mind can be the most dangerous weapon or the most valuable asset."

Out doing some promotional duties, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page were spotted at the Dorchester Hotel in London, England today (July 7).
The ?Shutter Island? stud and the ?Juno? babe both looked to be enjoying themselves at a photo call for their new film ?Inception.?
In a recent interview, Leo explained that he?s not of the same mindset of his Hollywood peers who constantly lament their fame.
?You will never hear me complain about stardom. I would make myself nauseous if I complained about anything. My theory is, if you don?t like stardom and all the attention that goes along with it, then get out of this business.?

Teaming up for a summertime retail romp, Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Rafaeli were spotted making their rounds in Hollywood, California on Tuesday (June 1).
While the "Titanic" hunk did his best to elude shutterbugs his tanktop clad Victoria's Secret model girlfriend seemed to mind the attention a bit less - with the twosome strolling to their car with a few bagfuls of purchases from Fred Segal.
Earlier in the day, Leo and Bar popped into Samy's Camera to pick up some new equipment - with DiCaprio buying up a new Canon camera, along with a 70-300mm lens.
Enjoying his new toy, the 35-year-old gleefully played around with the paparazzi as he covered his face before continuing along with the day's spending spree.

Stepping out for an action-packed date night, Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli were spotted at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on Tuesday (April 27).
The two lovebirds sat front row as they cheered the hometown Los Angeles Lakers to a crucial Game 5 win against the upstart Oklahoma City Thunder by a score of 111-87.
Meanwhile, it sounds as if Leo has a fan in "American Idol" alum Adam Lambert - who recently said that he'd most like for DiCaprio to portray him in a biopic if his fame were ever to get to that level.
Lambert said, "I have always thought that Leonardo DiCaprio is a really good actor - he could play me, he could get intense."
