Leonardo DiCaprio, a celebrity to be followed.



Leonardo DiCaprio for the cause of green peace
Leonardo DiCaprio
Titanic Jack who is lucky to win a ticket to America and boards the unlucky Titanic stands above all what is called chances and  positions himself in a peak by his extra ordinary quality and commitment to what he does and supports. He is an actor, a producer, an environmentalist, a philanthropist above all a good personality. He loves to play basketball and never misses a match if there is no angagement. DiCaprio has been a permanent guest at Staples Centre in Los Angeles since late 1990s. He is often seen to watch the games with a cap pulled down tight so that he may not be traced out and be questioned about this or that. Though all kinds complexities as a celebrity, he is not willing to miss a match and always goes on cheering the players. "Well, he sits right behind my wife and they get a little rowdy," said Lakers All-Star Kobe Bryant. "He really gets into the game. They're pretty passionate fans, so that's always good." he added.

This three times academy award nominee does something which all the men and wamen
Young DiCaprio
position should do. He uses solar panel for his house to produce electricity and he believes his step, how petty it can be, will keep the world from using harmful elements to produce electricity. He also uses hybrid car for himself. He is connected with several organizations and works with them for the betterment of humanity and safe environment. His official website (www. leonardodicario.com) face book address and tweter address (@LeoDiCario Los Angeles, CA) bear testimony for that. The organizations he works with are World Wild Life fund, NRDC BioGems Defenders, WildAid, SOS Children's Villages-USA etc. 
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio’s newest creative project is co-writing, producing and narrating a
feature-length documentary film about global warming. "11th Hour," is the name of that documentary. "Global warming is not only the number one environmental challenge we face today, but one of the most important issues facing all of humanity," DiCaprio said in a statement. “We all have to do our part to raise awareness about global warming and the problems we as a people face in promoting a sustainable environmental future for our planet.”

Gossip Leo's attacker facing extradition

Police will likely seek the extradition of a woman accused of fleeing to Canada after she allegedly slashed Leonardo DiCaprio with a broken beer bottle at a party in 2005, officials said. Aretha Wilson, 37, has been in custody for several months in Toronto in connection with an aggravated assault case there, Los Angeles police Detective Steve Ramirez said Thursday, the Los Angeles Times reported. Prosecutors are awaiting a formal communication from police before they launch an inquiry into whether the charge against Wilson is an extraditable offence, district attorney's office spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said. Dicaprio suffered "great bodily injury" when Wilson allegedly attacked him with a broken beer bottle on June 20, 2005, as he was leaving a party in the Hollywood Hills, according to an arrest warrant charging her with one count of assault with a deadly weapon. Wilson failed to turn herself in after the arrest warrant was issued, officials said. DiCaprio attorney Blair Berk said the 33-year-old actor has been co-operating with local and Canadian authorities.

Gossip Leo and Bar: back on

Despite their brief break in October, Leonardo DiCaprio, 33, and Bar Refaeli, 22, were spotted holding hands at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills on Dec. 20. Are they back on? "They were never really 'off,'" a DiCaprio source says. "It was always a distance thing. Leo was making a movie in Morocco [this year], and Bar had her modeling career." Refaeli's mom, Zipi, says: "Bar is working all over the world. Says the DiCaprio pal, "It's a struggle to make a relationship like theirs work, but yes, they're together."

Gossip Russell dishes on Leo

For a guy who hates tabloids, Russell Crowe gives great gossip. "You know, I worked with Leonardo [Dicaprio] when he was 17," Crowe recalls. "He was a virgin and he'd talk about that constantly." Of course, Dicaprio has made up for lost time with his conquests of supermodels Gisele Bundchen and Bar Rafaeli, among others. So Crowe is looking forward to debriefing the lothario on their upcoming flick Body of Lies. "I'm hoping...he can fill [me] in on what's happened in between, maybe show some photos," Crowe laughs in Entertainment Weekly. "I'm sure life's different now."

Gossip Leo's back on the market, ladies

Leonardo Dicaprio is reportedly looking for a new model after splitting from his post-Gisele Bundchen babe, Bar Rafaeli. On Friday night at Sweet Paradise in NYC, Dicaprio was with Josh Hartnett checking out the arm candy at the afterparty for the new skateboarding film Nothing But the Truth. And, in an odd twist, Rafaeli's new squeeze is surfer Kelly Slater, who dated Bundchen after she and the Titanic star broke up. Slater got into some trouble over the weekend in Israel when he and Rafaeli exited a hotel in a Tel Aviv suburb before dawn to find photographers waiting for them. He was arrested after fighting with local paparazzi. A police spokesperson told the AP that in an effort to prevent the photogs from taking pictures, Slater pushed them. A brawl broke out, and Slater was taken in for questioning and later released.

Gossip Leo and George to team up for policitical thriller

It was only a matter of time: two of Hollywood's most politically active stars are teaming up for a political thriller. George Clooney is in negotiations to direct Leonardo Dicaprio in Farragut North, a feature adaptation of an upcoming Broadway play based loosely on Howard Dean's 2004 presidential election campaign. Both would also produce the film. Named after the Washington Metro station located near many lobbyists' offices, the play follows a young, idealistic communications director who works for an inspiring - but unorthodox - presidential candidate. During the campaign, his career is done in by more seasoned politicos who thrive on poisonous partisan politics, dirty tricks and backstabbing.

Gossip Leo sued by neighbors


Neighbors of Leonardo Dicaprio filed a lawsuit this week alleging the Blood Diamond actor's construction of a basketball court on his LA property has caused damage to their uphill property for the nearly three years. The couple claim Dicaprio "maliciously" cut and removed hedges from their property and excavated "earth, granite and bedrock," which they say has destabilized their deck and pool and caused damages in excess of $250,000. They also accuse the actor of ignoring their repeated demands to halt construction.

Gossip Leo and Bar to wed?

The Departed star Leonardo Dicaprio will reportedly wed model Bar Rafaeli this June, according to the National Enquirer. "They say they'll probably have a private ceremony in Israel, then a big ring ceremony and party in the U.S. towards the end of the year," a source told the rag. After a year of dating, the couple are said to be "ecstatic" about their wedding. Rafaeli showed Dicaprio around her native Israel earlier this month, where the actor's security team had a much-publicized clash with photographers. "The reason they made the trip to Israel is that Leo wanted to get Bar's parents' approval before he popped the question. Now they are busy making wedding plans," the source said. I'm not so sure I buy this story as Dicaprio has said many times that he is not ready to wed or settle down...

Gossip Leo and Scorsese, together again

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo Dicaprio will team up again in The Wolf of Wall Street.

The case dealt with mob infiltration and the corruption of the corporate banking world on Wall Street. Scorsese and Dicaprio have previously worked together on The Departed, The Gangs of New York and The Aviator.

Gossip Leo's bodyguards arrested

Two of Leonardo Dicaprio's bodyguards were arrested in Jerusalem yesterday after a scuffle with photographers. "Two of his security guards were arrested by police after being involved in a fight that broke out," said an Israel police spokesperson. "They are being questioned." Dicaprio was on a private tour of the Western Wall tunnels in the city with model girlfriend and Israeli native Bar Refaeli when the incident took place. The couple have been dogged by photographers since their arrival in Israel on Sunday, and their plans for a quiet holiday were dashed after a group of Israeli entertainment reporters happened to be on the same flight from Frankfurt.

Gossip Leo wins - but not in a good way

Leonardo Dicaprio has been awarded the Black Lung Award by a group of Canadian high school students for the prevalence of cigarette smoking in the movie Blood Diamond. The purpose of the Black Lung Awards is to target actors and movies that attempt to glamorize smoking by featuring tobacco use. Blood Diamond was picked as the most smoke-filled movie of the year while its lead actor managed to earn himself "male chimney" honors. Night at the Museum was awarded the Pink Lung Award as a film without a single smoking character. "We want people to realize how much smoking there actually is in movies and how much they glamorize it," said a student at the school. "They never show the bad things that happen to people because of smoking."
