Dicaprio, Friends Holiday in Hawaii
Posted By Marcie on January 23rd, 2011
Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio loves to socialize and has been organizing fun-filled holidays for the past five years.
This year the 36-year-old actor had organized a get together at Hawaii where he and his celebrity friends enjoyed water sports and poker games, reported Contactmusic.
The ‘Inception’ star was joined by his 25-year-old Israeli model girlfriend Bar Rafaeli, supermodel Naomi Campbell, actress Cameron Diaz and her boyfriend Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez.
“For the past five years, Leo and his best friend Lukas Haas have gone on a trip every January to stay at the Four Seasons in Maui or the Kahala resort in Honolulu. “They always invite some glam friends along. In the past, invitees have included Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen.
“This year, Cameron, who’s been good chums with Leo since they starred in ‘Gangs of New York’, tagged along with A-Rod, Tobey Maguire, Naomi and her man Vladimir Doronin. Leo got to know Naomi last summer after sailing round Sardinia on a boat,” said a source.
The group who enjoyed surfing, snorkeling and paddle-boarding also spent time in gambling before ending the day.
“Leo loves poker, so in the evenings they’d get a high-stakes game going.They all love water sports and play beach volleyball when their hangovers wear off,” added the source.

Hammer And DiCaprio Will Wear Old-Age Makeup For Hoover
Posted By Marcie on January 9th, 2011
Armie Hammer is the cast member of The Social Network with perhaps the least famous name, but he’s experienced the same surge of career choices as all the other actors, and is getting ready to star in Clint Eastwood’s biopic Hoover alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. We already know many of the exciting details about the movie, which stars DiCaprio as former FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover and Hammer as his longtime assistant and romantic partner Clyde Tolson. Judi Dench is also on board to play Hoover’s mother, a casting move Hammer described to Vulture as “really perfect.”
And while they had him, Vulture also asked about how he’ll handle the scope of the film, which meets Toulson and Hoover as young men but follows them through to their 70s in flash-forwards. Instead of bringing in older actors, Hoover and DiCaprio will be handling the full life cycle:
“I’m playing Toulson up to his elderly age! Makeup stuff comes within the next couple weeks. We’re definitely doing a lot of wardrobe stuff right now, but the makeup stuff we haven’t done yet.”
Old age makeup is a huge gamble, of course- one bad prosthetic and you’ve ruined the effect entirely- but you’ve got to at least see it as a good omen that Hammer previously worked with David Fincher, who pioneered new aging techniques in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Yeah, sure, that’s a bit of a stretch, but with everything else about Hoover looking so promising, it seems silly to focus on the one thing that might be tough to pull off. Hoover starts shooting within the next few weeks, and given Eastwood’s famously fast production schedule, this sucker has “fall 2011 Oscar season” written all over it.

DiCaprio is attracted to special films
Posted By Marcie on January 7th, 2011
Hollywood star Leonardo Dicaprio has come a long way from his lover boy role in Titanic and the actor says that he continues to be demanding when it comes to accepting new projects.
“I want it to be special and really original. For me, the three elements there have to be are; it has to be a great script, with a great director and great people to work with. That’s what I want and I guess it would sum up the dream for any actor,” the actor said.
DiCaprio became an overnight sensation with his portrayal of Jack Dawson but keen to shed his pretty-boy persona, the actor opted for gritty roles in movies like Gangs of New York, The Aviator, Blood Diamond and The Departed.
The 36-year-old star has not looked back since then and has essayed a variety of roles including a dream snatcher in Christopher Nolan’s ‘Inception’, one of the highest grossing movies of 2010, the ContactMusic reported.
DiCaprio’s demanding nature appealed Nolan to cast him in Inception.
“He is extremely demanding, which actually helped me work out in ‘Inception’ where in there is emotional importance in the story.”
Nolan had an ambition to work with the star, and was delighted when he agreed to appear in his movie, and was even happier when he realised how dedicated the actor is.
“Leo is someone I had been trying to work with for years. I’d met him many times and nothing had come together, but I finally managed to convince him with this one and he brought an incredible amount of emotional focus to his character,” he adds.
