Leonardo DiCaprio To Play Frank Sinatra?
Wow, this really is a role that every leading man in Hollywood wants to land!
First we heard that Johnny Depp was a front-runner to take the lead in the Frank Sinatra biopic. Then Jamie Foxx was named as a convincing choice to play Ol' Blue Eyes. But, don't count Leonardo DiCaprio out for the count. He's not abuot to let this part slip away from him!
“Leonardo has hired a top vocal coach to get him sounding like Sinatra. He is a massive fan of the singer and has always wanted to play him. He would be upset to miss out on the leading role because his singing wasn’t up to scratch. He is now in intensive vocal coaching lessons to replicate Sinatra’s distinctive style.”
The fact that Martin Scorsese is directing the movie probably doesn't hurt Leo's chances at all.
If you had to pick between Leo, Jamie and Johnny, who would be your Frank Sinatra?

Titantic Stars Contribute To Survivor's Nursing Home Fees
Wow! Yet ANOTHER reason to adore Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio!!
Millvina Dean was on the Titantic when it sank when she was just 2 months old. Today, she lives in a nursing home and her bills are so high that she is unable to cover the cost. In order to make due, she's been selling off pieces of her ocean liner past.
Kate and Leo got wind of her issue and donated $30,000 to her fund!
Dean lives in a nursing home in Southampton, England since she broke her hip three years ago and has been struggling to survive. Last fall a desperate Dean began selling the doomed ocean liner mementos.
Leo and Kate said in a statement they hoped Dean could rest easy now knowing her future would be free of want.
The stars, who reunited recently in Revolutionary Road, are said to have contributed $30,000 to the fund.
What a wonderful thing to do.

Bar Rafaeli & Leonardo DiCaprio Hiding Out At LAX
Bar Rafaeli was with her boyfriend, Leonardo DiCaprio, at LAX. Obviously Leonardo doesn't want to be photgraphed ;) I just can't help it: I think he's a great actor (and certainly not hard on the eyes), so when I get a chance to put a picture up of him, I can't resist!
And Bar can certainly hold her own with him in the looks department! They make a cute couple, although it seems that not only do they want to be photographed, they definitely don't want to be photographed together! Oh well, we can imagine what a picture of them together would look like, right?

Celebrities At The Armani Store Opening
Victoria Beckham looked beautiful in her pink cocktail dress as she posed for photographers at an Armani store opening in New York last night. She wasn't the only celebrity to attend the event; John Mayer, Josh Harnett, and Leonardo DiCaprio were there as well. Not a bad turnout if you ask me... :)
I went to a fashion party last night and everyone there had one of the Armani gift bags! I was dying to peek inside to see what was handed out... but didn't.
Don't you wish these type of things are announced somewhere? Armani should post it on their website! And I would love to know if the celebs dig into their bag as soon as they are away from the inquiring eye. Or do they not need another thing that they don't care?

Leonardo DiCaprio At The Cinema For Peace Gala
Sorry... I just drooled all over myself. How embarrassing...
Leonardo DiCaprio attended the 8th Annual Cinema for Peace Gala held at the Berlin Film Festival in German last night and (as usual) looked quite dashing. I really admire Leo and I know whenever I go to see one of his movies his performance will be amazing, but I wish he'd occasionally smile for the camera.
Leo has never been shy about loathing this part of the industry. But... just ONCE!
