Leonardo DiCaprio tries to sneak out of Teddy’s nightclub at 2:30AM on Tuesday night (August 24) in West Hollywood.

A random tweeter said a few hours ago, “Spotted tonight: Leonardo DiCaprio at Teddy’s and of course the hottest girl in town.” Bar Refaeli, is that you?

While Leonardo Dicaprio's latest movie, Inception, is confusing audiences across the country, his summer vacation plans are a no-brainer. Leo and his new bff, billionaire Vladimir Dorinin, are currently getting some much needed R & R on Vlad's yacht in Sardinia with their hot model girlfriends.

Leonardo and his girlfriend, Bar Refaeli, joined Vladimir and his gal pal, Naomi Campbell, on the boat a few weeks ago. The foursome has spent much of their time in the billionaire playground of Porto Cervo, where Leo and Vlad were spotted doing yoga with a personal trainer yesterday.

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who is dating model Bar Rafaeli, admits that he's not sure if he would ever marry.



The 'Inception' star, whose close friend Kate Winslet split from director husband Sam Mendes soon after the three of them had worked on 'Revolutionary Road', insists that seeing other people's failed marriages has put him off tying the knot.

'I don't know whether I'll ever get married. I've seen too many supposedly happy marriages go down. I've been as shocked as anyone,' contactmusic.com quoted him as saying.

'No one can look at the marriages of other people and make a judgement. I don't know the private lives of the actors I work with. I just know if they are good actors or good directors.'

DiCaprio also said that he is unsure whether he would be comfortable with his girlfriend being on set if he had to shoot a love scene.

He added: 'It depends on the circumstances. It all sounds very strange to people who've never been on a film set.

'There's a group of people on one side of the camera and it's all about lighting, angles, sound and getting your lines right.'

Kate Winslet reportedly found it difficult to perform sex scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio in Revolutionary Road while her then-husband Sam Mendes directed.

The actress apparently started to question her marriage after Mendes appeared completely comfortable when she was intimate with DiCaprio.


DiCaprio told Reveal: "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. 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.

Shortly after working together on Revolutionary Road, Winslet and Mendes had a trial separation and later divorced.

A source said: "Working and living together was incredibly intense and basically overwhelmed their relationship."

The star of 'Inception' is reportedly ready to get down to one knees to ask Bar Refaeli's hand in marriage, and has told closest friend his mother has help him pick out the ring for the model.


Leonardo DiCaprio is reportedly planning to propose to girlfriend Bar Refaeli. The "Inception" star, who has been dating the Israeli-born beauty for nearly five years, is said to have enlisted the help of his mother Irmelin to help him choose the perfect ring for the model.

"He is finally ready to settle down and make it official," a source told the Daily Star newspaper. "Leo has told his closest friend that his mother has been helping him pick out an engagement ring for Bar."

The 35-year-old actor, who has previously dated a string of beauties, including supermodel Gisele Bundchen, is also planning to sell his Hollywood mansion and buy a house with Bar, 25. The source said, "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."

Meanwhile, a Canadian woman accused of attacking Leonardo with a beer bottle in 2005 was ordered by a judge on Wednesday, August 4 to stay at least 500 yards away from the star. The incident left the Hollywood hunk needing a dozen stitches to his face and neck.

From TMZ:

TMZ has learned Leonardo DiCaprio is looking for more than just a supporting role in taking down the woman accused of slashing him ... he's even willing to face her in court.

Law enforcement sources tell us Leo is being "extremely cooperative" with prosecutors on the Aretha Wilson case. 40-year-old Wilson appeared, briefly, in court on Wednesday and is being held on $150,000 bail.

According to our sources, Leo has told authorities that he will take the stand and testify against Wilson, if necessary. Wilson allegedly slashed DiCaprio's face with a glass during a 2005 party in the Hollywood Hills.

Wilson was extradited from Canada last week and charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

She might as well be in limbo or on Shutter Island for that matter.

A Canadian woman accused of slashing Leonardo DiCaprio's face at a Hollywood party five years ago was ordered to keep at least 500 yards away from the Inception star and two witnesses.

Better late than never. . .

Aside from issuing the stay-away order, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Hillery G. Merritt on Wednesday also raised Aretha Wilson's bail from $60,000 to $150,000.

The judge said she was concerned about the 40-year-old woman's "willingness and ability to come back to court" considering Wilson went on the lam once already after the June 20, 2005, assault. She fled across the border and took refuge in her hometown of Toronto before being extradited back to Los Angeles last week.

Wilson is accused of sneaking into a bash in the Hollywood Hills hosted by Paris Hilton sex-tape partner Rick Salomon. According to the cops, she mistook DiCaprio for an ex-boyfriend and sliced his face with a broken beer bottle.

The attack left the Titanic heartthrob in stitches—literally—needing more than a dozen to close a gash near his ear after he was taken to the emergency room.

DiCaprio later filed a formal criminal complaint with authorities. A warrant was issued for Wilson's arrest when she failed to report to a police station for booking.

Wilson, who is charged with once count of assault with a deadly weapon, was eventually busted in Toronto on similar charges a couple of years later and sentenced to jail. After serving time for that incident, Canada authorities handed her over to U.S. Marshalls.

Wilson's arraignment has been pushed back to Aug. 11.

A former model who smashed a glass in the face of Inception star Leonardo DiCaprio at a Hollywood party in 2005, is back in U.S. custody after fleeing the country.

DiCaprio and 40 year old Aretha Wilson were both attending a party given by Paris Hilton sex tape videographer, Rick Salomon when the incident occurred.

Allegedly without provocation, Wilson attacked the actor with a broken drinking glass, causing wounds to his face and ear that required 17 stitches.

It has taken nearly 7 months for Wilson's extradition because her attorneys wanted Canada's justice's to impose special conditions on her return.

Wilson had a prior conviction for slashing a boyfriend who later died. The law evaders Canadian lawyers want to make sure the U. S. courts don't allow the previous case into the upcoming trial.

DiCaprio, who's box office smash Inception, currently tops the summer movie charts, could not be reached for a comment on Wilson's arrest.

According to TMZ, the woman accused of slashing Leonardo DiCaprio's face open with a drinking glass back in 2005 has been extradited back to the United States ... where she will finally face justice.

Sources tell us 40-year-old Aretha Wilson took a flight from Canada to Los Angeles last night accompanied by law enforcement officials. We're told she's currently in custody awaiting trial.

As we previously reported, Wilson is accused of hitting DiCaprio in the face during a house party in the Hollywood Hills in 2005. The party was at the home of Rick Salomon -- Paris Hilton's sex tape partner.

Authorities claim Leo needed 17 stitches to close up his face and ear.

Wilson -- who had been arrested in L.A. and charged with assault with a deadly weapon -- fled the country after the alleged attack.

LEONARDO DiCaprio is worried that getting married will ruin his career.

Sources say the Hollywood hunk — who’s been in a longtime relationship with Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli — is reluctant to walk down the aisle because the likes of Tom Cruise an Ben Affleck experienced career downturns when they got married to their respective partners.

“Leo’s promised Bar, who just turned 25, that he wants to be with her forever — but she may be 30 before their wedding day,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer.

“He’s in his prime creatively and has about a dozen films he wants to make in the next five years.

“He truly loves Bar and knew he had to offer her some kind of commitment, or she’d walk. She’s a forceful, independent woman, and she’s left him before.

“She’s not ready to bolt yet, but Leo’s going to have to do better than just saying he can see them getting married in five years.”

Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio was reportedly mobbed by fans in a toilet at a recent football game.
The actor was watching the football World Cup quarterfinal game between Brazil and Holland in South Africa when he slipped off to visit a public toilet, but had to call for help after his stall was raided by fans desperate to catch a glimpse of him doing his business, reports askmen.

"Leo, hoping he'd be incognito in dark sunglasses and a baseball cap, slipped into a stall in the stadium men's room. But all of a sudden, the stall began shaking and Leo freaked out when he heard blaring, buzzing vuvuzela soccer horns and people shouting his name. He thought the stall was about to cave in on him, and screamed for help," said a source.

Eventually the 35-year-old star's screams were heard by the security staff, who quickly set about clearing the public from the bathroom.

"Leo was finally able to unlock the door and escape, but he was white as a ghost, demanding to know what had happened. He was told that some fans saw through his disguise and spotted him entering the men's room. Word spread like wildfire, and males and females alike stampeded his stall, hoping to get a glimpse of him," said the source.

Who would've thought Leonardo DiCaprio gets anxious?

The “Inception” star opened up about his anxiety, his childhood and his post-“Titanic” love life in the new issue of Rolling Stone, currently on newsstands.

"[My stomach churns over] really stupid stuff," DiCaprio told Rolling Stone. "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.”

But when he was younger, DiCaprio was just “a dwarf with the biggest mouth in the world.” (His words, not ours.)

“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 (expletive) beat … I was a real punk, there's no question about it," he said.

And while you’d never know it based on his current relationship with Israeli supermodel Bar Rafaeli, DiCaprio said he had better luck with the ladies pre-“Titanic” fame.

Back then, the actor said, “My interactions with [girls] 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."

1. "Inception" ($13.2 million)
2. "Salt" ($12.7 million)
3. "Despicable Me" ($7.3 million)
4. "Ramona and Beezus" ($3 million)
5. "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" ($2.95 million)

Christopher Nolan's "Inception" continues to dream big as the latest Warner Bros. blockbuster once again topped the box office charts on Friday. Indeed, the Leonardo DiCaprio-starring action thriller proved to be too much to handle for Angelina Jolie's "Salt."

Thanks to the $13.2 million earned on Friday, "Inception" has now amassed a worldwide total worth $129.8 million. With the weekend far from over, it's likely that Nolan's latest will win back its $160 million production budget in short time. If nothing else, the surrealist thriller's second Friday victory proves that "Inception" has legs beyond its opening weekend.

Although it wound up finishing just shy of first place, Angelina Jolie's "Salt" was less than $1 million behind "Inception" on Friday. With the numbers so close, it's entirely possible that the spy thriller could finish the weekend on top of the box office, despite receiving lukewarm critical reception.

Of the coolest, most sought-after Canadian chicks in town, one is a nonplussed pint-sized actress from Halifax; the other, a dogged reporter for an alternative weekly whose years of persistence on a story helped track down a serial killer.

The actress from Halifax, is, of course, Ellen Page and the neat thing about her (well, it's all pretty neat) is she refuses to be eaten up by the Hollywood machine. She dresses as she wants, says what she wants, admits to peeing in buckets and composting the material -- and has thus become the pet of her dreamy co-star in Inception, Leonardo DiCaprio.

At a Hollywood party July 13 to celebrate the opening of Inception, Page and DiCaprio entered the nightclub, Villa, hugging. Inside, he barely left her side -- except to smoke a cigarette.

"Ellen doesn't like smoke, so Leo respects that and doesn't do it around her," reports a partygoer.

DiCaprio, as serious an actor as Page, isn't known for making friends easily. He lives in a house with some buddies, always takes his mom for lunch, and tends to stick with the same girlfriend for years.

"Leo is crazy about her. And if Leo is crazy about her, you can bet he can get all the top directors he's worked with (Martin Scorsese and James Cameron) to be crazy about her too," notes a Hollywood agent.

Besides DiCaprio's attention, the 23-year-old has become the darling of reporters and bloggers. Website hollywoodcrush.mtv.com named her This Week's Crush Girl and even the usually nasty Perez Hilton called her one of his "faves."

SELENA Gomez has a secret crush on Hollywood hunk Leonardo DiCaprio.

The teen star — who recently celebrated her 18th birthday — says she used to ask her mom to take her to the movies so she could watch the Titanic actor in action.

“Yes! I got it,” Gomez said of DiCaprio’s new movie Inception.

“I did have to ask my mum a couple of times, ‘What’s going on now? What’s he doing? Where is he going?’ He’s really handsome and talented.”

Selena recently revealed she wants to have a career like The Time Traveler’s Wife star Rachel McAdams.

“I would love to model my career after hers,” she said.

“She’s brilliant. She chooses smart roles, reinvents herself for every role. I admire that and hope I’m able to do that myself in my career.”

While we all anxiously await the announcement of Inception 2, Leo lovers have been dying to know what the A-list actor is up to next—and the buzz is bewildering, to say the least. The L.A. Times is reporting that Leo is next set to star in a Mel Gibson-directed film about Vikings. True?

No, at least it doesn't look like it. Not at all. Whew!

"There's not even a script yet," a source deep inside Camp DiCaprio dishes to us about the rumored project. "So it's not real, but it is technically still in the works. Nothing has been settled."

Is this code for Leo's waiting to see what kind of sentence Hollywood (not to mention the actual courts) dole out for the accused woman basher?

DiCaprio remains a businessman, after all. And his camp is saying let's give the leader some time to see how Gibsongate pans out. But the question remains: Would he still be interested in being directed by the Tinseltown pariah?

"No, I doubt Leo would do it, especially after all this," one of our most knowledgeable L.D. spies spills, matter-of-factly, assuring us that Leonardo's personally horrified by the crap Gibson's been pulling lately.

He's no Whoopi Goldberg, thank heaven.

Good to know. But gotta ask, especially after Goldberg's nonsense, and since Jodie Foster is still willing to work with Mad Mel, who in T-town will forgive and forget?

We knew we liked Leo for a reason! Sorry, Mel, looks like not all of Hollywood will be "smiling" and "b--wing" you. And we know, Mel, we're ruining your life and we "have no soooooul." Whatever.

But here's some far happier news, dolls: Leo's working with someone we're sure you'll love:

George Clooney!

We hear Leo's begun prepping for the long-anticipated big-screen adaptation of the political play Farragut North, and Clooney not only penned the project but will direct the flick too (sadly, he's not set to costar—too much hunkiness on one screen, we guess). The two have reportedly met a couple of times in L.A. for readings.

Leo as the star and Clooney behind camera? Smells like Oscar noms to us!

How many times have you seen "Inception"? We hope your answer is, at the very least, "Twice! And it rocked both times!"

Christopher Nolan's dream-bending thriller is simply a film that demands multiple viewings, not because it's incomprehensible the first time around — it's actually and remarkably coherent in exposition and storyline. Rather, a second trip to the theater will allow you to stop gawking at all the wondrous imagery — from a Parisian cityscape that folds in on itself to a zero-gravity fight scene unlike anything you've ever seen — and concentrate on the subtle intricacies of story and character.

"Obviously, this is a huge concept," star Leonardo DiCaprio told MTV News. "But what [Nolan] does do, which is so clever, is he makes you, as an audience, engage in characters that are attempting something for the first time. So you understand the rules and the planning and all the pitfalls that may come with this idea of implanting an idea in someone's mind."

And once you know the rules and hit the multiplex again, you can suddenly notice various elements that passed you by the first time. If you follow DiCaprio's advice, you'll pay attention to each character's arc during a second viewing.

"The sheer nature and the scope of the film and a lot of the action presents itself as something extremely surreal and infinite in possibility. But when you start to hone in on the character's journey, it is four different states of going deep into one's past," he said.

Leo's character, for example, is a dream thief named Dom Cobb, a guy who's haunted by the menacing presence of his wife in the dreams he shares with the other members of his fantastical team of bandits. As Cobb's crew sets about their main task — a job that requires them to create those four dream states — several of the characters confront issues that had been plaguing them for years.

"My character and a lot of the characters in this movie have a cathartic journey of while we're going deeper into the dream state, we're going closer and closer and closer to who we are. Certainly my character comes to terms with his own nightmares. That was what immediately intrigued me to the movie that I think [Nolan] pulled off incredibly well," DiCaprio explained.

LEONARDO DiCaprio is disappointed there’s no naked ladies in his new dream-based movie Inception.

The Hollywood hunk admits that for the film’s dream sequences to have been truly convincing they really should have included the odd fantasy fella or luscious lady.

“I guess there should have been something like that,” says Leo. “There should have been a lot more perverted characters.

“I guess by leaving them out it leaves room for sequels!”

Leo — who’s currently dating supermodel Bar Refaeil — recently revealed he wants to start a family — but not just yet.

“I don’t think I need to have children to play a father in the movies,” said the star, who plays a dad in Inception.

“This feeling is in me, I understand it completely.

“In my private life, I still have time to become a dad, and I’ve no desire to rush”.
