We certainly applaud celebs who take a stand on important issues - we also understand it can sometimes sound a little preachy.
Leonard DiCaprio apparently gets it too. While we've called him out on inconsistencies, like flying in private jets, Leo is easing up on environmental issues because he doesn't want to come across as "patronizing."
"Yes, I have solar panels and all that sort of stuff. However, the more I learn about the subject matter, I also realize that people find it patronizing. They feel like they’re being told what to do when somebody like me talks about the fact I have solar panels," Leo told the UK's Daily Express.
Leo says while people may care about the issues, there may be other factors that are beyond their control.
"Not everybody can get solar panels and not everyone can drive a hybrid car. It's not about blame or telling people how to live, it's just about saying, 'Let's all be aware of these issues'," Leo said.

Leo Lands In Rome
Posted: November 5th, 2008, 3:50pm CST by X17Online
Tags: Leonardo DiCaprio
We caught Leonardo DiCaprio leaving Paris on Monday around 3pm on a private plane, and we were a bit miffed as to why the supposedly green-minded actor would do something so environmentally unfriendly. By the time he landed in Rome and hit the red carpet for the premiere of "Body Of Lies," we figured out that there were THREE direct Air France flights to Rome that left between 2 and 4pm that he could have taken instead of wasting the fuel and flying private.
We understand that the actor has a busy schedule and tries "as often as possible to fly commercially," but there just doesn't seem to be a good excuse for this. Wanting to avoid photographers and fearing that you might lose your luggage do not count as acceptable reasons to fly private. C'mon Leo, we know you're better than that.
You may be a sexy, talented actor, but from now on we want to see you on commercial planes.

Leo's Ready To Settle Down
Posted: October 1st, 2008, 12:01pm CDT by X17Online
Tags: Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonard DiCaprio is changing his tune when it comes to marriage.
The once proudly single star tells Parade magazine that's he's ready to settle down.
"I want to get married and have children," the 33 year old says. "In saying that, I realize I am contradicting everything I've said before," adding, "I absolutely believe in marriage."
That's quite a change from statements Leo's made in the past where he's proclaimed to have "never been in love" and adamantly professed that he "didn't believe in marriage."
When asked about those former statements, the three-time Oscar nominee blames "the ignorance of youth."
"What I definitely feel a need for is to make my life about more than just my career." he continues.
"Just last night I was thinking to myself how little of my life has been lived normally and not spent on some far-off movie location. I want to get married and have children. In saying that, I realize I am contradicting everything I’ve said before."
Leo has had a string of high profile relationships, most notably with Brazilian supermodel Giselle Bundchen. He's been dating Israeli model Bar Refaeli for the past two years.
The interview is very revealing for the intensely private actor who seems very aware of the potential pitfalls of his privileged life.
"I hope I never get cynical. I think you need youthful energy, excitement and optimism in life."
We're impressed Leo! So do you think he'll be walking down the aisle soon?

Leonardo DiCaprio talks about his goals, passions and marriage in Parade interview
Posted: October 1st, 2008, 10:27am CDT by Hot Momma
Tags: Leonardo DiCaprio
In the new issue of Parade, Leonardo DiCaprio who appears to be back on with model Bar Refaeli, talks about living a normal life, as he promotes his new movie, Body of Lies. Here are a few excerpts:Of becoming an actor, he says:
“My parents never tried to steer me in any direction. I wanted to be an actor, but I never thought it was a real possibility, ever. I thought I’d be a marine biologist, because nature and evolution fascinated me.
“We’re all after love, aren’t we?” he says. “Love is what people are hungry for. That’s absolutely why I became an actor.”
On his life perspective:
“I hope I never get cynical. I think you need youthful energy, excitement, and optimism in life. There is a lot I want to do, and the more cynical you become, the more you sit on your butt and do nothing,” he says. “The one thing that I would love is to never become cynical about the things I think are really important, like family, like the environment.”
Smiling, he adds, “What I want is to be known as someone who stood for something.”
On the impact of his starring role in the the 1997 highest-grossing movie ever Titanic:
“I am proud to have been in Titanic,” he says. “I’m grateful for the possibilities it’s given me. If it hadn’t been for that movie, I wouldn’t have been able to take control of my career. It was during that time that I started to think about things that meant more to the world than this glorified, superficial media exposure of me, something I never felt was justified.” (The media are sure to be out in force again when he’s reunited with his Titanic co-star Kate Winslet in Revolutionary Road, opening this December.)
On the negative side-effect of his stardom in Titanic:
“Titanic was a period of rebellion for me,” he says. “I was very much portrayed in the press as a heartthrob. It wasn’t what I wanted to be. It was like a runaway train. This thing just took off. I didn’t understand what was happening to me. My instinctive reaction to this tabloid madness was to want to run away.” For two years he stayed away from making movies, trying to ignore the media circus, protecting what he could of his private life.
On how acting alone is not going to fulfill his life:
“What I definitely feel a need for is to make my life about more than just my career. Just last night I was thinking to myself how little of my life has been lived normally and not spent on some far-off movie location,” the actor, 33, says. “I want to get married and have children. In saying that, I realize I am contradicting everything I’ve said before. I absolutely believe in marriage.”
On getting passionately involved in trying to help save the Earth (Leonardo personally funds advocacy organizations and bankrolls a personal charitable foundation supporting environmental causes):
“This is so much more important than anything,” he says. “I began to understand the huge crisis facing the human race. But we can feed all the starving people on the Earth, take care of the sick, and sustain the planet we’ve inherited. And if it happens, won’t it be amazing? Stopping the destruction? I get overwhelmed just talking about it!”

Leo And Jen An Item?!?
Posted: September 22nd, 2008, 12:22pm CDT by Elisabeth
Tags: Leonardo DiCaprio
Jennifer Aniston was snapped going to Leonardo DiCaprio's Hollywood Hills home for a small party with Tobey Maguire and Selma Blair on Sunday afternoon. The thought of Jen and Leo shacking up never even occurred to us - after all, Leo and Bar appear to be back on, but after this weekend we began to wonder. Jen's bodyguard said repeatedly to X17 photographers, "You're not going to start rumors, are you? Don't start any rumors," so now we're starting to think that there is something to report on. Our photogs added that it almost seemed as if "someone" told Jen's bodyguard to talk to the paps about the "story" - just to make it one in the first place!
Jen is single and on the prowl, and if things don't work out with Gerard Butler, we're sure she'll be chasing after other Hollywood hunks, but Leo? And since when did bodyguards act as publicists?! Of course, a tight-lipped, covered up Leo was spotted out later, so who knows what actually happened!

Leo And Bar: Crazy In Love?

Bar Rafaeli and Leonardo DiCaprio were spotted leaving Villa last night, and though the camera shy star hid his face, he did end up showing us a bit of skin. Perhaps he should take notes from Lindsay and keep a blanket in the car? It worked for her!
There were reports earlier this week that the on-again/off-again couple had broken things off for good, but it looks like the two are back on. An X17 source inside the club told us, "Leo and Bar showed up together pretty late in the evening and they had a blast. They stayed until after 2am. They were drinking cocktails and dancing to the hip hop tunes. They looked very happily in love.”
Hmmm, doesn't sound like a breakup to us!

“Body of Lies” preview - an Iraq war movie with a message that might be commercially successful too?
Posted: September 6th, 2008, 10:15am CDT by admin2
Tags: Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe star as CIA operatives out to smash terror cells in the Middle East, in “Body of Lies” scheduled to hit theaters Oct. 10. Adapted by William Monahan, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of “The Departed,” from Washington Post columnist David Ignatius’ intricately plotted espionage novel of the same name, “Body of Lies” presents the most stinging screen portrayal of American foreign policy by any Hollywood studio movie in recent memory.
DiCaprio portrays Roger Ferris, an idealistic field agent operating out of Iraq and Jordan who resorts to elaborate subterfuge — concocting a fictitious sleeper cell and staging a mock bombing — to flush a terrorist mastermind out into the open.
Crowe plays Ed Hoffman, the veteran stateside CIA bureaucrat who thwarts Ferris’ progress at every turn with his own covert missions and unquenchable thirst for power. And along the way, American spies torture a suspect, innocent people’s lives are ruined via satellite downlink and foreign nationals who cooperate with the agents wind up being sacrificed in the name of homeland security. “Welcome to Guantanamo Bay,” hisses one would-be torturer in the movie.
It’s a deliberate throwback to Nixon-era conspiracy thrillers, films that spotlighted American political skulduggery and corruption. “To make a highly intelligent film with today’s politics: That was the objective,” DiCaprio said. “This movie could — not necessarily say something about the state of the world, but — take grasp of where we are in history right now.”
For his part, director Ridley Scott said that since filming his 2001 historical war thriller “Black Hawk Down,” he’s felt obligated to make movies that are “about something.” Coming off the smash-hit success of last year’s “American Gangster,” he intends “Body of Lies” to voice certain hard truths about the United States — even if that means ruffling some feathers in his adopted country.
“I’m not American. I’ve been here in the U.S. all my career, and over the last 30 years things have changed dramatically,” Scott said. “It’s an evolution, a softening process. We’re not as hard as we were. We’re way too accepting of political situations that are, frankly, outrageous. Don’t you agree?”
DiCaprio and Scott seem only too aware, a spate of earlier films set in and around the social fallout of the Iraq war — “Rendition,” “Stop-Loss,” “The Kingdom” and “In the Valley of Elah” — failed to connect with audiences.
“It is a failed subject matter in the sense that none of those films has been successful,” DiCaprio said. “But whether [’Body of Lies’] was going to be commercial or not was never a factor. It’s the opportunity that we get to make this movie. You feel lucky to get to do it. The audience can get involved while simultaneously getting insight into what the United States is doing in the Middle East.”
Scott was more blunt. “Do I think it’s a commercial movie? My gut tells me it’s a commercial movie,” he said. “I think a lot of those Iraq war movies were jingoistic. This one isn’t jingoistic. The audiences smell that.”
The film offers plenty of other visceral stimulation as well, tautly paced around shootouts, car chases and lushly photographed explosions courtesy of cinematographer Alexander Witt.
Known for his crusading efforts as an environmentalist with a growing affinity for appearing in issue-oriented films (see 2006’s “Blood Diamond”), DiCaprio says he checked his political agenda at the door when he signed onto the project. But researching his character with a former head of the CIA (whom the actor declined to name) and coming to understand something of how agency operations are run in the Middle East gave him a new perspective on the peace process.
“You don’t want anyone to leave with a moral judgment when they see a movie like this,” DiCaprio said. “But the more we did the movie, the more we got involved with the day-to-day operations of the CIA — you realize what they’re undertaking. The thought of stopping this in one or two wars? In 10, 20 years? If there’s any moral message to the movie, it’s that we’ve bitten off so much more than we can chew.”

Leonardo Looking Into The Twilight Zone
Posted: July 25th, 2008, 12:05pm CDT by Elisabeth
Tags: Leonardo DiCaprio
Warner Bros. and Leonardo DiCaprio's production company Appian Way are in the beginning stages of seeking material for a feature based on The Twilight Zone, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Warner Bros. and Appian Way are currently looking for pitches and script ideas based on the show, which ran from 1959-1964. The studio owns the rights to the episodes written by creator Rod Serling, and the companies are looking to create a continuous story line based on one or more episodes, rather than do a remake of the entire series.
In interviews, the Academy Award-nominated actor has named The Twilight Zone as his favorite show, so it should come as no surprise that he has decided to adopt this as his latest project.

Hmm, hair 5, facial growth 0. It's just not him. Is it for a movie role, or he is doing the layabout foreigner thing in Morocco. Smoking hashish and intimidating the local ladies! Leonardo DiCaprio was presented with a Golden Star award at the the seventh Marrakesh Film Festival in Morocco. Man, they will have a film festival on a damn glacier if they can get some celebs to show up for it. Just project it on the glacier and whirlybird a few names in. The North Face can sponsor. Leo's pal and collaborator, genius film director Martin Scorcese, presented him with the award. Martin described his amazement at Leo's "clear and complete commitment to his work." The two of them have done several movies together, including "The Aviator" and "The Departed". They will team up to shoot the film adaption of Dennis Lehane's "Shutter Island" next year. It's the story of two cops trying to solve the disappearance of a mental patient from an island asylum. It's a creepy-ass novel, but I hope they repair the ending.

Leonardo DiCaprio on the set of Revolutionary RoadRussell Crowe and Denzel Washington sit down with this week’s Entertainment Weekly (Now Weekly!) for a revealing interview about working together on their new crime drama American Gangster. Oh yeah, Russell also talks about Leonardo DiCaprio’s virginity:
“You know, I worked with Leonardo when he was 18 [on the Western The Quick and the Dead]. He was a virgin, and he would talk about that constantly. So I’m hoping we have some time so he can fill in what’s happened in between. Maybe show some photos. Because I’m sure life’s different now.” (Source)
Before any of you laugh at Leo, just realize he used to date this chick:
Sure it’s nice in theory to date a supermodel but . . . but . . . but . . . seriously folks, I got nothing here . . . I guess a few of them can get an attitude sometimes like it’s my fault there were three hidden cameras pointed at the bed. It was an accident.

The pair are set to shoot Shutter Island, and adaptation of the Dennis Lehane novel.
The film is a period piece, set in 1954, with DiCaprio to play U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels, who is investigating the disappearance of a murderess who escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane and is presumed to be hiding on the remote Shutter Island.
We’ll skip it.

Leo DiCaprio Looks Like He Might Engage in Some Swashbuckling

I was all over Leonardo DiCaprio's performance--well everyone's, really--in "The Departed" and have to say that he seems like a pretty astute guy, who chooses interesting roles for himself. So, I'm guessing "Body of Lies," the movie he's currently filming, as you can see here in the pictures, is probably going to be another unique choice by Mr. DiCaprio. Does it seem like I'm being excessively nice lately? I have no idea why that is, but let's just roll with it. Here's the IMDb synopsis for the film:
A former journalist injured in the Iraq war is hired by the CIA to track down an Al Qaeda leader in Jordan. Based on the novel "Body of Lies" by David Ignatius.
And these pictures make it look like Leo has decided to go dark for this role. I kind of feel like it makes him look like a pirate, but hey, Halloween's right around the corner.

Madame Tussauds Turns Yet Another Celebrity Into Wax

Leonardo DiCaprio is the latest to get the Madame Tussauds wax treatment, but unfortunately due to global warming he is now just a sad pool of Leo. Free band name for the taking: "Sad Pool of Leo." From AccessHollywood.com
Unveiled yesterday in Central London, the wax Leo joins the ranks of other famous figures, including recent additions Prince Charles, "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe, and David & Victoria Beckham.
I love that all this company does is make wax versions of a famous person every few weeks and then they get major press all over the world because of it. I'm going to start making celebrity figures out of martini olives and empty Ketel bottles. Now that would be press-worthy.

Let Picasso Take Your Foto Leo

Leo, I am sure that you can respect an artist like Picasso. He takes his Paparazzi as Fine Art and in the future, you will see buyers at auction houses like Christies’ bidding up the prices of his work. So Leo, next time you see Picasso, let him take your photo so you can help support the arts in Los Angeles.

Leo DiCaprio Has the Opposite of My Work Ethic

Oh, industrious people--doing their best to make me look bad. Leonardo DiCaprio is a busy bee these days, making those of us lazy sloths look even lazier by comparison. But, I guess if I was making the kind of bank he does for being in movies, I'd be dancing like the Warner Bros. frog. "Hello my darling! Hello my baby! Hello my rag-time gal!" But seriously, Leo might want to cut down on the workload. He apparently is scheduled to be in fourteen films, which is a total of approximately $500 million dollars worth of studio budgets weighing on his shoulders. When asked by Hollywood Today how he decides what projects make the cut, Leo responded:
"That's a good question! That's what I'm dealing with right now (Laugh). I'm taking one thing at a time. I just finished a film called "Revolutionary Road" with Kate Winslett, directed by Sam Mendes. We shot that in New York and Connecticut. I just got back four days ago. And then, I'm gonna go work with Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe in Morocco on an untitled film. A film about CIA operatives, I'll start that in a few months."
And I like to imagine that somewhere, James Van Der Beek is saying to himself, "There goes the man who stole my career." And a friend of James' hears him, shakes his head and says, "No, James. No he didn't."
