Have I got news for all Leonardo Fans! There is a new OFFICIAL LEONARDO DiCAPRIO PAGE. Notice the OFFICIAL! The address is http://www.leonardodicaprio.com I saw this on the Official Titanic Web page. This new Leonardo page is still under construction, but seems very good. I'm not sure when the site will have stuff on it (I hope soon.)

I am so mad. I went to the Best Buy today to get the soundtrack and Celine's album--they had the album, but they said that they didn't have the soundtrack. So, I called them in the evening to find out about the release date for the soundtrack, and the manager said that the CD was actually IN, somebody in the store gave me the wrong info :( And I have no time to go there tomorrow. So, I have to wait till Thursday. What does the cover look like???? Are there any pictures in the booklet? I've listened to "My Heart Will go On" like 20 times today :) But this is Celine's album version. How do you like the soundtrack version? Which one is better?

---Slava

I am such an idiot. Well, not really me, but my friend Jasmine over here. I was all psyched to see it; and then Poof! I get a call from Jasmine saying, "The cast of Titanic the play is going to be on Rosie!" I seriously want to kick her. Please post this up as soon as possible, because I don't want to get anymore e-mails saying I was wrong! Bye!

I bought the new Titanic soundtrack today (november 18th) and I listened to it over and over again. I feel it expresses the emotions in the movie very well. I have the script and I know how the movie goes and this soundtrack brought shivers up my spine when I associate them both together (the movie and the soundtrack.) The inside cover has color and black and white pictures of Leo and Kate and underneath where the CD sits, there is a picture of Leo and Kate towards the end of the movie and the lyrics to "My Heart Will Go On" (love theme from Titanic). Overall...I feel very pleased with this CD and I suggest that any Leo, Kate, or Titanci fan should buy it!

I just wrote to say that Leo was on ET today and he was in the London premiere of Titanic. It talks about more special effects of the movie and what he did when he met Prince Charles.

---magic

I was watching Access Hollywood in attempts that they would have something on Leo. Tonight, for the first time in a while they did! They had about a 5 minute subject on Titanic. It showed about 3 different clips of it (Leo and Kate kissing, and 2 of the ship sinking). I was really excited to see the movie, but now I am in suspense!

---Anon

Last night I just happened to be watching Entertainment Tonight, and one of their very first segments was on Leo and Titanic. They showed scenes from Titanic that have never been shown on tv before, including a scene of Leo doing some kind of dance (It was so adorable), and another scene of him all dressed up sitting with Kate Winslet and her family in the movie having dinner with them. I can't wait to see it, it looks so good. I am guessing Leo will probably be on Entertainment Tonight again today or tomorrow since the London premiere of Titanic was supposed to be today. So keep an eye out for him!
I know I sent a message earlier saying that Leo may be on Entertainment Tonight again today, well he was. They actually did a little interview with him. He said he wondered how he ever got to where he is today (duh Leo look at yourself and your acting..whoo hoo!) and that he must be doing it right to get royalty at his premiere. You could see all the screaming girls in the backround screaming as he came out. Gee I wonder why! He seemed to be kind of embarrassed about that. Those girls seemed brutal too! They were screaming at him trying to get a picture. Anyways, I would watch Entertainment Tonight all this week because so far they have had a segment about Titanic everyday.

---Sarah

I was sick today, so I saw Rosie at 11:00...lucky me. It was great how Celine Dion said that she bought all that food for the movie, but didn't have any time to eat because all 3 hours and ten minutes of Titanic stole her breath away. And her new song for the movie is beautiful. I taped all of Rosie if anyone wants a copy. Just write me. Also, ey, what's up? I just have to quickly say that SNL sucked so hard, but not because of the fabulous Claire. It's been awful for a really long time. Since Eddy Murphy and John Beluchi, etc. stopped. So, basically I'm saying that it's the writers that suck and not so much the actors.

---Steph

Yay!!!!! Celine mentioned Titanic on Rosie!(actually Rosie brought it up) She said she absolutely loved it and that it will take your breath away! It's also 3 hours and 10 (B's addition--actually 3 hours and 14 minutes) minutes long. Yay! Good publicity!

---Emily

On E! news daily, they showed an exclusive clip from Titanic. It had Leo dressed up in a tux escorting Rose(Kate)to dance and to meet her fiance. It's actually a rather funny scene.

---Lulu

What is the other song from the Titanic sountrack (besides "My heart will go on") that is on the latest Celine Dion's album?

---Claudia

B would like to know that also.

News-November 18, 1997

I bought the Titanic soundtrack and Celine Dion's new album today, but I haven't gotten the chance to list to most of it yet! Also, please email me at leotitanic@hotmail.com for any news or comments during this week since I won't be at my normal computer most of this week.

News-November 17, 1997

On the right is the cover of Celine Dion's new album which will be released tomorrow. picture is from this Celine Dion site. Celine Dion will be on Rosie tomorrow, not the cast of TITANIC.

I hope you can add this as soon as possible. Somebody wrote that the cast of Titanic will be on Rosie O'Donnel Tuesday but it is the cast of The Broadway Titanic NOT the movie! There will be a lot of disappointed people out there! I am one of them!

---Anon

I saw a comment on your page about 1 hour special about "Let's Talk About Love." Well, I am not sure if it was the same one but I saw a special on VH1 yesterday about this new album, and Celine talked about "My hear will go on," they showed many clips from the movie and the song was playing in the background. It was awesome. If you missed it you can still catch it on Wed. at 9 pm (EST?). Celine sings two songs in this movie? I thought she did just "My hear will go on."

---Slava

Did anybody tape SNL with Claire as the host? I fell asleep since I was sick and I missed it. I kept kicking myself over it. So if anybody taped it I'll pay you, I'll do anything!! E-mail me if you taped it or you know someone who did. Please!

Claire will be hosting Saturday Night Live on Saturday, Nov. 15th with musical guest Mariah Carey.

I'm still hoping someone can tape CINEMAX for me (*sigh*) BUT, something today did cheer me up. Though George Clooney (and not LEO!!) is the "Sexiest Man Alive" for PEOPLE Magazine, and stole the cover...there is 70 pages on other cool guys... and they compare todays younger actors to classic ones. OF COURSE, the have a page on LEO where they comapre him to James Dean. There is some other cool people in there too! Check it out!

---Mina

I don't know if anyone remembers, but a while ago, someone posted a message saying that both of the R&J CDs were sold together packaged in a box with six postcards at HMV. Well, I went there last week and one of the boxes were open. I pulled the postcards out and found that they are the six pictures found in the downloadable screensaver at the official R&J website. (www.romeoandjuliet.com) They are bigger than the usual postcard size and of very good quality, but I would not buy the CDs again for the postcards. They were $42.99 (Canadian) Just thought I'd let you know.

--- K

Ok, since it's illegal for somebody to tape the R+J special on Cinemax and sell it to me, instead I'll be willing to trade either a blank video cassette in return, the "Romeo" and "Juliet" postcards that came out of a magazine, or possibly a brandnew Despair or Fishtank poster. Somebody PLEASE e-mail me with an offer, I'm desperate here!
The Hollywood USA (http://hollywood-usa1.com/) web site is up and running now. (The place in California that sells lots of R+J stuff) I kept getting script errors though when I tried to go into some sections of the site. Does anybody else have this problem?? They also only accept credit cards.

--- Lisa

11th of November, this Tuesday It wil be,
A very special day..Leo turns 23,
with baby blue eyes, blond hair and cute buns,
its hard to believe your growing up when you still look so young!
This day is a holiday to me, because its to do with you,
My Tuesdays are normally boring, but their not now because of you,
I love you, I love you, forever and always... This is my way of saying, Leo...Happy Birthday.

--- Emily

My face is tear-stained but happy for I have just read the script of Titanic. For those of you who haven't read it, wether you read it or not, the movie will be better than you can ever imagine. I am awaiting December 19th and hope that you love the movie as much as I know I will. And B- thank you so much for your site! I visit it every day!

---Anon

I am having a little problem though. That R&J behind the scenes thing is on November 14 right? I don't get Cinemax. I need someone to tape it for me and have to find a way to ask people. I live in Vancouver, British Clolumbia, Canada and I don't get that channel. I would love you if you taped it for me. On a blank tape of course. I in return would return to you another blank tape, or anything that you may want to tape from Canada. And I can give you this magazine thing I got from the theaters. It is this magazine that the theaters put in their lobbies. NEWAYS it has this full page pic of him from Titanic on the cover..a good one. And one on the inside, another full page pic, of him in Titanic, with his hair slicked black. Snd has a small pic of Claire Danes inside with that guy that she's gonna be in that new movie with Rainmaker.

I'm a frequent user of your chat room but today I came onto it and it won't let me in. I get a message coming up saying I need to type in a password. Is this my computer playing up or can you help me on this?

--- Bella

Note from B---OH my gosh, I totally forgot I had a chat session until this person emailed me with this problem. I personally had no problems getting into the chat session tonight. I talked to Uma-ma from Canada and Phipp§ tonight. I hope to be on the chat session more often this week, so talk to ya in there.

I know I'm probably the 100th person to ask this...but, I live in Texas but Cinemax is not an option on our cable. So...I was wondering if someone could record it for me. Since so many people are asking, maybe a few people could tape it and then hook up 2 VCRs a dub a few copies for some of us!!!! I'm sure we'd all be willing to pay! Please let me know!

I just got a card in my mail from Barnes and Noble saying that the TITANIC book that I ordered will not be in until December. Anyone have similar results?

Tonight, Claire Danes is at the premiere of the "Free Tibet" film, chronicling the 1996 Tibetan Freedom Concert.

10-16:
Nov. 11, 1974 -- Leonardo DiCaprio. In Los Angeles, 23 years ago, Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio was born. This rising star can be seen in more than 10 movies, including "William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet," "Marvin's Room," "The Quick and the Dead," "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" and "This Boy's Life."

---Steph

I was just wondering if anyone could tape or make a copy of the making of Romeo and Juliet special on Cinemax. I live in Canada and I don't get that channel. I'll pay for the tape and the shipping because I really want this. Also, I went to see the movie "Red Corner" and there was a preview for Claire's new movie "The Rainmaker." Looks pretty good. While I was there I saw this magazine called "Tribute" and Leonardo is on the cover with a fair size article about Titanic on the inside AND an interview with Claire about "The Rainmaker." I picked up a few extra copies so if anyone wants to make a trade, just e-mail me. We can work something out. Talk to you later!

U.S. lawmakers tune into music violence A Senate panel looking into possible connections between "shock rock," crime and suicide Thursday heard from a man whose 15-year-old son killed himself while listening to songs about death and the Antichrist. --from YAHOO!

This was said in the article: "While we approve of any forum focusing on the serious and real problems faced by today's young people, we passionately believe that most of the attacks on the lyrics of the 1990s should be categorized with those of the alarmed parents of 1950s teenagers in love with Elvis," Rosen said, adding that even "Romeo and Juliet" was about teen romance and suicide.

'Summer' Calms Box Office Dropoff: Thanks largely to the amazing holding power of "I Know What You Did Last Summer," weekend ticket sales were off just 3% from the comparable period last year--from YAHOO!

This was said in the article: The top 60 films grossed an aggregate of $60.3 million, compared with the $62.2 million tally in 1996 when surprise hit "William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet" led the pack.

News-November 4, 1997

Note from B---I update my Romeo and Juliet news page daily, but I am trying to keep TITANIC stuff only on the TITANIC page at: http://www.oocities.org/Hollywood/9251/titanic.html! So, for the latest TITANIC info, go to that site.

I hardly ever go to Kmart, but I went yesterday to get some nailpolish remover. I checked out the posters and I saw LEO! It's the fish tank poster enlarged to lifesize horizontally. It only $3.99 which is pretty worth it for Leo. So get your R & J poster if you haven't already! Oh, and there's a picture of the poster of Titanic in Newsweek this week, so if your parents get Newsweek and your too cheap(like me) to actually BUY the poster, check it out. It's on pg. 8. And yesterday in the LA times there was an article in the Calender section about Leo and Titanic and how the film festival was in Japan so check that out too!

---Leoluver

""Titanic" director James Cameron said Monday he was relieved that one of the most expensive movies ever made was well-received at its world premiere in Tokyo. "I had an instinct that the Japanese audience would embrace a serious subject that had a strong emotional component to it, and from what I can tell so far from the initial reaction, it looks like we were right," Cameron said at a news conference in Tokyo. Cameron said high expectations and bad luck pushed up production costs and pushed back the release date for the disaster epic. He also defended the reported $200 million that was sunk into the picture. The movie is set to make its London premiere Nov. 18, and is now scheduled to set sail in the United States on Dec. 19."
Reuters/Variety Entertainment Summary

Last night's Entertainment Tonight (ET) had a bunch of stuff on Leo and TITANIC! Leo was talking and the girls in Japan were screaming when we started talking. It was very funny! Titanic was the first segment last night! Then, I flipped over to Access Hollywood and their second segment was on the TITANIC with maily the same stuff as ET!
Tonight, ET is promising more on TITANIC so watch.

News-November 2, 1997

Note from B---I read the TITANIC script on the internet on Saturday! It took me about 4 hours to go through it! YOu can find the script at http://www.oocities.org/Hollywood/Boulevard/7960/rickyroma.htm. I don't feel weird that I read the script! I don't really care that I will know what will happen on screen. The script is very funny and while reading it I was laughing in front of my computer. Should you read it? Well, if you don't have time or don't want to know what happens, then don't read it. Then, you can read it after you see it on December 19th.

On the E! gossip show they said that Leonardo was having a secret relationship with Helena Christenson (sp?), but to all Leo fans don't worry. That show isn't exactly the most truthful shows out there.

--- Lulu

I was watching the Gossip Show on E! this weekend and it had a little segment about Leonardo and how he has been wanting to keep his new relationship a secret, but its out now. He is dating this supermodel named Elaina - something (I forgot her last name), and I guess he has been dating her for awhile too. So Leo's mystery woman is no longer just a rumor. (Ok, everyone can start weeping now).

Now that it is Nov, I felt we should keep in mind some very important dates:

This week--Ralph at ClassAct gets other TITANIC posters in stock

Nov. 6--VCR Alert John Leguizamo will be on NBC's "Later"

Nov. 7--Official TITANIC site opens with a plethura of stuff.

Nov. 11--It's Leonardo DiCaprio's B-day! How old will he be? 23?

Nov. 18--Make waves to Best Buy and purchase your TITANIC soundtrack. Also, buy Celine Dion's album "Let's Talk About Love" which has track 3 as the song "My Heart Will Go On." This is the end-title song of the film TITANIC.

Toward the end of the month--Look for appearances by the cast and crew of TITANIC on talk shows.

I just got Leo's Cult Newsletter. To sign up Email: LiLvOiCeS2@aol.com.

Hi, I was thinking of starting a small R+J Fan Club/mailing list. If you are interested, please email me. I was thinking we could have a fairly small group of R+J fans where we can email each other and have a chat together sometime, share information and trade with each other. I saw "I Love You, I Love You Not" yesterday. It was really great! I thought it was sad. Any R+J, Claire Danes fan will enjoy this movie. Happy one year anniversary R+J!

Read this ariticle I-Love-RJ4Ever@rocketmail.comSony Classical/Sony Music Soundtrax to Release James Horner's Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to 'Titanic' on November 18 .

Hi, I really love your site, but I think its really uncool when you put things like the end to I Know What You Did Last Summer on it. First of all, it has nothing to do with Romeo and Juliet, second, no matter how dumb it is, I'm dying to see it, and it totally ruined it to heard the end. I didn't even come to your site for like 2 weeks cause i was waiting for it to be replaced with new news. I'm sorry to bitch but that really bugs me. Other wise your site is my absolute favorite.

--- Emilie
Note from B---Buffy dying is far from the end of the movie. I did not tell the ending because she was just a menial character in the movie. If you are so upset now, wait until Scream 2 comes out....many of your favorite *actors* will be axed. Will Buffy have the same fate in Scream 2? What about Jada Pinkett, Jerry O'Connel, Cotten Weary, and Lori Metcalf?
