“Do I want to be a father? Yes, but I think I have a few more years. That said, I don’t think I need to have children to play a father in the movies. This feeling is in me, I understand it completely.”

Leonardo DiCaprio on procreating with current lady-love Bar Refaeli.

… I wouldn’t need too much convincing either, dude.

54Leonardo DiCaprio is Still F*&@ing This Deformed Moose?

If you need any more convincing that Leonardo DiCaprio is the best actor of our time, then check out the swamp thing that he’s been “in a relationship” with for several years now in these new lingerie ads. Give him an Oscar for being able to stand looking at this thing with a straight face. Ugh. Can you imagine a woman with a body like this being paid to pose for lingerie? And then she goes home and Leonardo DiCaprio has to pretend to be sexually interested in her? What is it like to have so many people bend over backwards to put a smile on your hideous face, Bar Refaeli?

14It’s the Economy, Leo!

I find this particularly ironic since I saw a trailer for this movie when I went to see District 9 today. (Incidentally, I have never seen more people walk out of the theater during the first 20 minutes of a film than during District 9. But I digress…)

The release date of Leonardo DiCaprio’s new thriller, Shutter Island, has been pushed back from October of this year to February of 2010. Leo was getting ready to head out and promote the Scorsese film when the Paramount pulled the plug.

Paramount Pictures chairman and CEO Brad Grey says, “Our 2009 slate was green-lit in a very different economic climate and as a result we must remain flexible and willing to recalibrate and adapt to a changing environment.

“Leonardo DiCaprio is among the most talented actors working today, and Martin Scorsese is not just one of the world’s most significant filmmakers, but also a personal friend. Following a highly successful 2009, we have every confidence that Shutter Island is a great anchor to lead off our 2010 slate and the shift in date is the best decision for the film (and) the studio.”

Paramount has had some huge Summer box office successes this year with Star Trek, Transformers: Revenge of the Horrible Movie, and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. But huge Summer blockbusters require equally huge budgets, and the studio has spent a pretty penny promoting them.

12Where Is Leo? Peekaboo!

I thought of that title because it’s a game I play with my dog, who is also named Leo. I pull down his ears so that they cover his eyes, and then I say “Where is Leo? PEEK-A-BOO!” But unlike a delighted and amused human child, Leo jerks away and then looks at me like “WHAT THE FUCK YOU CRAZY BITCH I CAN’T SEE WHEN YOU DO THAT.”

Anyway.

LeoNARDO was playing peek-a-boo with the paps yesterday, who are chasing him as he’s trying to vacation on the Spanish island of Formentera. I was originally going to title this post “Catch Me If You Can,” but then I realized that I’d like it much better if I could talk about my dog.

I should also say — because I’m asked this all the time — that Leo was not named after Leonardo DiCaprio. He has the name Leo because that was his name at the shelter where I got him. But I will say that my friend’s sister has a cat named Leonardo DiCatio. The same sister just got a chihuahua and named him Justin Bobby. I think someone needs to award this young woman a MacArthur Genius Grant, stat. Just fund her to give people money to let her name their pets. The world would be a much more amusing place.

“Sam would sort of yell from the other room, ‘No, Leo really grab her thigh! Really grab her thigh!’ I thought, ‘This is really strange, but I’m gonna go with it.’”

21Body of Lies Premiere

Time is a thief.  Russell Crowe has aged.  Why does he look like Grizzly Adams at the Body of Lies movie premiere today?  A little Just for Men and a haircut would serve him well.  Leonardo DiCaprio looks hot…bloated but hot.  Not a question in my mind he’s a closet potato binger.

These guys are celebrities; I expect them to be Botoxed, plastic and firm…the way nature intended.
