LEONARDO DICAPRIO
New coffee blends and trends are already roasting in the new year as Starbucks switches from dark roasts to blondes and multiple celebrities, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, filmmaker David Lynch, Dave Mustaine from Megadeth and Lcd Soundsystem star James Murphy, enter the profitable industry.
After years of everyone being told by the coffee connoisseur that dark roasts are superior, coffee companies decided to attract a new market of coffee drinkers during this economic slump. This trend has already become a norm in many European countries, where they brew the blondes strong.
Heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio celebrated his 37th birthday this past Friday at hotspot Avenue. It seems like just yesterday he was 23 years old and stealing everyone's hearts in Titanic. Oh, how the time flies. In typical alturistic Leo fashion, he donated proceeds (some $1.3 million) of the party to his non-profit, The Leonard DiCaprio Foundation. The foundation funds protection projects for wildlife as well as clean water and disaster relief in third world countries. By adding fees to drinks and bottle services he was able to collect funds from the well-endowed crowd that included billionaires Stewart Rahr and Len Blavatnik along with a slew of Hollywood heavy hitters such as Benicio Del Toro, Robert DeNiro, Naomi Campbell and Ed Norton. Additionally he auctioned items off, which included a 15 liter bottle of Veuve Cliquot painted by Peter Tunney. The bottle sold for a whopping $50,000!
Poor Biebs. He was on top of the world, #1 hits, devoted girlfriend, millions of adoring fans. He is the quintessential rags to riches story, living the American Dream. Of course, along with the wonderful American lifestyle comes freedom. Freedom to pursue your dreams, freedom of speech, and freedom to sue whoever the hell you please, apparently. Take 20-year-old Mariah Yeater for example. Yeater filed a paternity suit against Justin Bieber yesterday in L.A. claiming he is the father of her 3 month old son. The suit claims Yeater took Bieber's virginity in an unprotected encounter in October 2010 backstage at one of his concerts in L.A. Bieber's reps are vehemently denying the claims dismissing them as "malicious, defamatory and demonstrably false" adding they "will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations."
Summer flings are quite nice. Unfortunately, they usually end once the fall season begins--which is exactly what happened with Blake Lively & Leonardo Dicaprio. The couple, who had been dating since May, called it quits recently according to US Weekly and PEOPLE Magazine. A source close to DiCaprio told PEOPLE that the two will still "remain friends." Yea, yea, yea, that's what they all say.
Perhaps DiCaprio, who is 36, wants to settle down....it's about time! Or maybe Ms. Lively, 24, just wants to enjoy her 20s and take advantage of all the other good looking actors coming her way?
Seems like Leo goes after the same type of girls... Bar Rafaeli, Gisel Bundchen, Blake.. In that case, if you are tall, blonde and model-like, you might have a shot. Get in line ladies!
Bet you didn't even know they were dating! Or you probably heard about it, but deemed it too unbelievable so you brushed it off as a silly little rumor.
It's true! Actress Amber Tamblyn, 28, and comedian David Cross, 47, are tying the knot, Life & Style magazine has confirmed today. "They've been engaged for weeks," sources claim. At least SOME people in good old Hollywood know how to keep marriage details private. Yes, Kim Kardashian, that was for you.
This marks down to be the second marriage of the four leading ladies in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. America went first a couple of months ago, now Amber...perhaps Blake Lively would like to be bride number three with A-lister beau Leonardo DiCaprio?
Actress America Ferrera has tied the knot with her longtime college boyfriend, filmmaker Ryan Piers Williams, on Monday 06/27/2011. Too, too cute!
The pair met years ago as USC students when Ryan had cast America in a student film. Looks like he had an eye for choosing stars long before they hooked up. Ferrera has already earned herself an Emmy, a SAG award & even a Golden Globe for her work in Ugly Betty...and she's only 27!
After already accomplishing so much in her life, what's the next role to step into? Get married and be wife to a hottie, of course.
Gosh, what a sucky way to celebrate your birthday.
Despite not being in the Spider-Man franchise anymore, Tobey Maguire finds himself in a sticky situation as he is being sued for a nice chunk of change in the now exposed exclusive high-stakes poker circle with other known celebrities (Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon - just to name a few). Complete details of the incidents are pretty much scattered so it's still unclear.
Radar Online reports that Maguire is being sued for $311,000 he had won in Texas Hold 'em poker games from hedge fund manager Brad Ruderman, who is now currently in prison. Supposedly, Ruderman was gambling with money from his investors - around $5.2 million, which is only a small amount from the total amount he had stolen - and used to hold the poker games for about 3 years.
More than 100,000 people were expected over the weekend near Palm Springs, California for the annual Coachella Festival. And like every year, the three-days event attracted many celebrities.
Leonardo Dicaprio, Lindsey Lohan, Penn Badgley, Dita Von Teese and Joe Jonas have made appearences on day one of the festival. Vanessa Hudgens and new rumored boyfriend Josh Hutcherson were spotted all over the place.
Paris and Nicky Hilton, Katy Perry, Tara Reid, Ashley Greene, Emma Roberts and Rihanna were spotted wearing some Bohemian fashion. But sexy guys like Vampire Diaries' Ian Somerhalder, Usher or Kellan Lutz were in the attendance too.
This year's lineup included Kanye West, The Strokes, Mumford & Sons, Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire, Lauryn Hill and many more...
Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio have been very close friends for the past 15 years. They have always been there for each other, in the bad times as well as in the good ones. The 36-year-old Inception actor recently supported the 35-year-old actress after her split from her husband Sam Mendes.
In an interview given to Vogue, Winslet said that Leonardo was her rock. "Lots of male friendships begin as a cheeky snog. Or a little undercurrent of flirtation. But Leo and I? No. He's my rock. I don't know what the f**k I would have done if I hadn't had him."
The two actors costarred in 1997's Titanic and 2008's Revolutionary Road.
The Delta Flight 30 that had to make an emergency landing return to JFK Airport Sunday night had none other than actor Leonardo DiCaprio on board. The airplane's left engine caught on fire and the nine-hour flight to Russia was delayed.
After a terrifying 90 minutes of the plane hovering over JFK, it finally landed with 160 firefighters standing by for precaution.
DiCaprio's reps state that, "En route to attend the Tiger Summit in St. Petersburg, Leonardo DiCaprio was one of the passengers aboard Delta Flight 30. He wishes to commend the actions of the pilot and flight crew in bringing the plane to a safe landing."
As one of the best high profile actors in the industry, the 36-year-old even signed autographs for the flight crew afterward.
