Leonardo DiCaprio Isn't Ungrateful
Leonardo DiCaprio NEVER gives the paparazzi an easy shot. That's really turned a lot of fans off in the past. People think he's ungrateful for his fame and influence. But, Leo says that's not so...he's just trying to live his life without other people making money off him.
Actually, I’m not in the tabloids anymore. I am sometimes, but I’ve
watched the culture change. I’m old hat. And I love it. You know what
it is with me? This is something I’d like to clarify. I’ve heard people
say, “Because you hide, it makes you seem ungrateful.” The mere fact
that these—I’ll use the word piles—are earning money from exploiting my
image is the only reason I hide myself or am not a photo-friendly
person. I do not like the way they conduct themselves. I think they’re
disrespectful and dangerous. The reason I don’t pose or smile or that I
seem mad is that I don’t want them to make a living off my private life.
What do you think? Leonardo is at the point in his career where he no longer needs the paparazzi attention to get him buzz and land the big roles. So then is it fair he says he doesn't want them making a living off his photos?
Leonardo DiCaprio Doesn't Want To Patronize You
What a great stance to take! Leonardo DiCaprio is still as dedicated as ever to the environment, but the actor has promised to tone down his efforts in trying to get everyone else to jump on board with his plans. He understands that not everyone can afford some of the steps that are necessary in keeping this world green. Solar panels and hybrid cards are just too much of an expense for most families to absorb.
So instead, Leo just hopes that people remain aware and do whatever they can to participate.
"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."
"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’."
Leonardo DiCaprio Respects Zac Efron
Leonardo DiCaprio knows a thing or two about being a teen heart throb. I mean, seriously, who didn't see Titanic at least twice in the theater?? But, Leo is ready to pass on the torch.
"I look at
young Zac Efron and think ‘Go get it pal, leave me in peace.’ I was
never happy with the teen idol tag at all - never wanted to be a sex
symbol or all that stuff - it was the work that appealed to me. Really
nothing else. (I have) total respect for how young stars like Zac
handle it all. Really total respect.”
I'm just amazed that Leo knows who Zac Efron is! That doesn't really seem like the sort of scene he keeps up with. Does this mean he's a High School Musical fan? :P
Leonardo DiCaprio At The "Body Of Lifes" Photocall
Leonardo DiCaprio was looking quite handsome as he posed for pictures at the photocall for his new movie, "Body of Lies" in Paris yesterday. I'm a huge fan of Leo's not just because he's handsome, but because he's extremely talented.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and it reminded me what really happens while in a state of war. It's so easy to think that everything is done behind closed doors in rooms with big computers. But there are actually people on the street risking their lives in such unimaginable way attempting to gather intelligence for their nation. You forget about those undercover men and women.
Based on Washington Post columnist David Ignatius's 2007 novel about a
CIA operative, Roger Ferris, who uncovers a lead on a major terrorist
leader suspected to be operating out of Jordan

Undercover At LAX
Lauren Conrad and Leonardo DiCaprio both attempted a very low key check in at LAX this weekend. Leo wore a baseball cap and comfy track suit and remained face down until he went through security. Meanwhile Lauren kept her hoodie up and attempted to avoid the press.

Pictures Of Celebrities - Then And Now
When I first saw the post on ONTD, I got very excited because I thought we were in for some huge transformations. But I have to say that the only one that knocked my socks off was Nicole Kidman. Who knew a flat iron would have such an effect on a face!! And George Clooney seriously looks like he was wearing a wig - but I LOVED it back then.
Times change, but photos are forever.
Take a look at Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman, George Clooney, Halle Berry, Teri Hatcher, Demi Moore, Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Sarah Jessica Parker and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Who's had work? Who looks better now? Then? Favorite transformation?
