Leo sure can Party Hardy Leonardo DiCaprio may have been fashionably late for Sean (Puffy) Combs' barbecue Sunday in East Hampton — the party started at 3 p.m., Leo got there six hours
later. But the kid sure knows how to make an entrance: by plane, then limo, and with an entourage of a dozen young men.
Thanks to NiniCapini for this Great submission.

NY DAILY NEWS...
In other South Beach news, Mariah Carey and Sean (Puffy) Combs have each gone to great
lengths to say they're not an item.Of course, that doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate his music. Carey was in South Beach for the weekend and on Saturday she showed up at Tuscan Steak,
where a party was being co-hosted by Russell Simmons and former Motown Records President
Andre Harrell. Carey arrived with two female friends and had a blast lip-synching to Puff Daddy tunes. As for Puffy, he was expected that night but never showed.
Wasnt it just last month that Leo was supposedly dating Mariah? Oh yeah and weren't Leo and
Sean supposedly dating Kidada Jones at the same time as well? I think the tabloids are going to have to get better at this reporting because either Leo and Sean are doing a tag team kinda thing, or the trash Mags are really losing it.

We used to wonder why Leonardo DiCaprio's thing with lovely Amber Valletta didn't last longer. But that was before we'd read anything that had escaped the lips of the 24-year-old supermodel. For instance, her recollection of dressing up as an angel for a Harper's Bazaar shoot. "At the time, I was really into angels," Valletta recently told the Dallas Morning News. "And just, weird moments were happening, where, like, angels were kind of popping into my life . . . And they proposed this story to me, and they said, 'You're going to be the Christmas Angel,' and I burst into tears. And I wouldn't take off the wings when we were on the set, I was flapping around . . . I was so touched that they picked me out of everybody in the industry to represent the angel." Makes perfect sense to us.

South Park Debut
Leo made a type of debut on the hit show South Park recently! Apparently, Kartman said that he
had a dream about Leonardo DiCaprio and he was spanking him over and over for several hours.
Whilst Leo's real voice was not supposedly used for the show, the idea and images were of a small caracature Leonardo DiCaprio! COOL!

Fast Friends RAPPER Q-Tip is paying a price for being one of Leonardo DiCaprio's lackeys. Police confirm that the rapper has been charged with third-degree assault, a misdemeanor, for allegedly roughing up a lensman who was trying to snap the Titanic star emerging from Veruka the other night. Freelance photographer RJ Capek said his 35 mm camera was taken and that members of DiCaprio's overly protective entourage pushed him and shouted obscenities. My livelihood has been affected by this, said Capek. He added that he had identified the rapper in a line-up at the First Precinct, and plans to sue him for damages.

Thanks to Sash for this cool Overview of the rumours that are circling about Leo and Kidada Jones...
Leonardo DiCaprio is caught up in a sizzling romantic triangle. The Titanic star is head over heels for Quincy Jones’ daughter Kidada who’s also dating rap sensation Puff Daddy!
Talk about bi-coastal it’s a double play with gorgeous Kidada juggling two romances, one in New York and the other in Tinsel Town, a friend disclosed.
Kidada who was the fiancee of slain rapper Tupac Shakur fell for Puff Daddy in a big way while she was in New York.
But then she met Leonardo at a New York nightclub where they dirty-danced the night away. And
when they both wound up back in Hollywood the date blossomed into a fulled-fledged romance.
The 24-year-old beauty daughter of former Mod Squad star Peggy Lipton told her friend: "Leonardo is so fine and so much fun!"
He is very spontaneous and doesn’t like to make plans so when we go out we just go with the flow. By the end of the night we can end up in a nightclub sweatin’ to the beat or sweatin’ in a hot tub either way we have a very memorable evening!
An insider revealed: Leo and Kidada are definitely an item and Puff Daddy is unaware his gal is dating the ‘Titanic’ star. She’s been to visit Leo at his new, rented home in Malibu, and he’s visited her several times at her famous composer-father’s palatial home in Bel-Air.
In late August, Leo limping around in a bandage around his knee from recent surgery picked up
Kiada and they visited an art gallery in Pasadena, a source disclosed.
Then the young couple went to a suite that Leo keeps at the Chateau Maramont hotel and they
partied with friends into the night.
Said the insider: "While Leo has had plenty of dates since the first of the year, Kidada is the only one that he’s gone on an ongoing basis".
Leo told me, ‘Kidada’s sexy, sweet and really knows the score. She’s the kind of girl I could settle down with.’
But another source added: "Kidada is telling friends she loves both Leo and Puffy. And it may be months before she decides which man she wants!" by Patricia Shipp and Alan Butterfield.
Before her romance with Tupac Shakkur, Kidada was engaged with rapper L.L. Cool J. But he broke up with her to marry the mother of his three children.
Thanks Again to Sash for the great info

Leonardo DiCaprio’s new best friend (at least over 71 anyway) serial swinger Hugh Hefner, who’s partying harder now that he’s living the single life. Leo’s spending nights at the Playboy mansion, hanging with Hef while Playmates hang all over HIM!! He even goes club-hopping with the Chief Bunny Rabbit. Insiders say Viagra-fueled Hef’s bored with geriatric Hollywood and has lured a younger crowd (Cameron Diaz, Jim Carrey, Leo, etc.) to the mansion.

Cameron in an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine slams Leonardo for his choice not to atend
the Oscars.... "I felt it was a snub, not on the film per se, but of all the people who did care and had sweated blood for the movie. So I kept calling and saying "you gotta go for the team, and frankly yourself, because the consequences of not going will be that you're gonna look like a spoiled punk" So he didn't go, and he looked like a spoiled punk. And Leo knows I feel that way, so I'm not saying anything out of school. he agonized over it....The message I got on my machine, like day before was " It just aint me bro"..........Apparently getting 4 million to do a juice ad that airs only in Japan is him; going to the Oscars is not".

Last month or so (I don'r recall the exact date) Leo and Sara gilbert flew to Kansas city to
celebrate Toby's birthday with him. They went to restaurant in Westport, were very low key the
only time anyone noticed them was when they brought a cake to the table and sang Happy
birthday to Toby. the local paer (The Kansas City Star) reported that Leo had ordered the red
snapper. The next day they went to a local amusement park - World's of Fun and Leo rode the
roller coaster The Tomberwolf twice.
He was here for several nights and one night they set up private table for him at Station Casino. Sara was with him one of the nights. To quote the KC Star "The casino did it's part to keep Leo isolated from the masses, but he was difficult to detect. He was wearing little glasses and kept his head down a lot" altogether he was there for about 7 1/2 hours. His game of choice - Blackjack. To quote the source at the casino casino "Although he didn't walk away a winner, Dicaprio was a good sport. And NO he didn't try to talk her back to his hotel room for a portrait sitting!"
This seems pretty normal to me for a person his age with a friend visiting a friend. But you never see things like this mentioned in the national press.

The story tells of 'gorgeous blonde' Bobbie Brown (no not whitneys hubby!!) who 'bedded' Leo
before he made Titanic. Bobbie apparently meet Leo in the L.A night club Spice "he seemed so
boy - like when we met," gasped Bobbie (former live in lover of Tommy Lee before he left her for Pamela Anderson) "but he is child and man mixed together".
Bobbie, 28, also said that Leo wore his famous HAIRCLIPS to stop his floppy hair falling in his face as they 'made love' " he didnt speak at all " said Bobbie.
Apparently Bobbie and Leo didnt get off to a very good start when Leo walked straight up to Bobbie and said " hey im Leo, whats your name? I'm going to be your boyfriend one day" to which Bobbie replyed "yeah go away - your what like five years old?" Leo was upset by this and said "Dont talk to me like that" and then left.
Bobbie saw Leo a few times over the next couple of weeks but didnt talk with him until he invited her to a party where he ignored her all night and left with a DIFFERENT girl, but then he rang her and asked to see her alone Bobbie invited Leo around (she had a friend there for protection "you cant be to careful in L.A " said Bobbie "I'v had men leap on me and try to bite me").
Bobbie said, "before Titanic he was sweet but not a great lover". The funny thing is, that the
uncanny resemblence to Kristen Zang hits you as soon as you look at Bobbie as it has with some
of Leo's other 'lovers' but one thing is for sure this girl wont be getting a proposal.

Jolly, happy nor thrilled would be used to describe Leonardo DiCaprio's mood when recently offered $5 million to spend a weekend entertaining (babysitting?) the teenage daughter of a wealthy Arab sheik. It seems the sheik's daughter is ga-ga over Leo, whom she longs to meet. But Leo had other things on his mind, namely terrorism, and politely demurred, turning down the handsome offer for safety's sake. (Star)

Thumbs down to the idiot and no doubt pervert who posted a short story about Leonardo in a few
celebrity newsgroups recently. Without repeating the ridiculous story, the young man hinted to Leo becoming attracted to dogs. The only dog around here is the wierdo who posted such an immature post. BTW, Thumbs up to all who replied to his immature post with criticism and backup for Leo.

Aparently, one night Leo was so wasted he couldn't get up to open the door for some fan waiting for him to let her in. So, what does she do,the ungrateful little teenie bopper urinates on the floor of the hotel and then passes out....right by his door.

Leonardo Dicaprio may have more in common with his namesake Leonardo DaVinci than we knew.
He scrawled a petaled picture while watching the academy awards at a friends Nyc loft. "Leo had a light over his shoulder, and he traced the silhouette of his shadow, then drew the flower," says Victoria Leacock, who compiled 100 celebrity sketched blossoms for Signature Flowers (Broadway Books), out in late October.
