Hi everyone!

I’m a new volunteer at the site, and will be taking over some of the news/updating duties from Marcie.

A little bit about me, so we get to know each other: I’ve been a Leo fan since 1997–when I first saw What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. This was followed by a freakish amount of Growing Pains re-runs, but we won’t get into that. I’ve followed the site since 2006, and have made occasional donations because it continues to be the most professional fan site I’ve seen. (So donate, because it’s important that we keep it going!)

Now if we’re being realistic, one person cannot keep track of ALL the news. No matter how hard Marcie works, there will always be more news than would be feasible to update. She’s done a great job, and while I’m going to strive to keep that tradition, I can say that I’ll be able to spot every bit of news. I’ll need your help. If you see news from a credible source, please contact us so we can investigate. Feel free to put my name in the subject if you like, because we’ll be seeing a lot more info as publicity ramps up for The Great Gatsby and Django Unchained.

Just a reminder: no information about DiCaprio’s private relationships will be posted. Don’t send it, because we won’t use it; this is Marcie’s site policy and we ask that you respect that.

News for today: some older, some newer. Enjoy and debate below.
