It's been a good week for Leonardo DiCaprio. The actor sued a French magazine who claimed he was having a baby with Rihanna… and he won.

A court ordered the company behind Oops magazine to pay out €8,000 in damages and legal fees, and also to print a retraction in an upcoming issue which notes that Leo won a case against them.

Back in May, Oops printed a cover story with the (translated) headline, "Rihanna: Pregnant with Leonardo! He doesn't want the baby." The salacious story would most likely have escaped Leonardo's notice had he not been in France for the Cannes Film Festival at the time. Awks. 

In the court papers filed by Leo's legal team, the actor sought the maximum amount in damages for such a case, which by French law is €18,000.

In response to the filing, Oops' co-owner Frederic Truskolaski told Gossip Cop, "We didn’t know [if Rihanna was pregnant]… We thought she might be. We were not sure, of course." 

Back in January, Leo and Rihanna were indeed rumoured to be dating, after various sources reported seeing them kissing at a Playboy Mansion party. However the actor later released a statement via his rep to say he was "single" and had been "for some time."

The French court found that Oops had violated France's strict privacy laws by publishing details about Leo's personal life and also by using two paparazzi shots of him on the street.

This is not the first time in recent memory that a celebrity has taken a magazine to court in Europe. Back in October 2014, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel sued the European edition of Heat in Dublin after an unfounded report claimed Justin had been seen with other women at a club in Paris.

The couple reportedly chose an Irish court because they felt Irish libel law offered the best legal protection. In the end a settlement was reached before the trial began.

Friday is a day for flashback moments and this one is guaranteed to be your favourite so far. Coming along to absolute destroy everyone with feelings this week is Alexandrea Owens-Sarno.

You may also remember her as Jack Dawson’s “best girl” and his second-best dance partner. Now in her 20s, Alexandrea was the child actor who stole hearts and a smile from Hollywood actor Leonardo Dicaprio when she bagged a role in block buster Titanic.

Buzzfeed caught up with the actress, who lives and works in L.A to ask her some very important questions, her answers did not disappoint.

Most notably, she also believes that both Jack and Rose could fit on the door frame.

She has also admitted in an interview with Cosmopolitan that her friends were big fans of doing the obligatory ‘then and now’ comparison any time Titanic was on TV.

“My friends asked me to stand next to the television while we were watching it so that they could compare how I look now as opposed to then.”

Another important fact we needed to know; can she still do that fabulous Irish jig?

“I think if I watched and really just dedicated time to relearning it, maybe I could do it. But you also can't do it by yourself. When you're getting, like, twirled around by Leonardo DiCaprio, you just go with the moment.”

Well, we think if Leo asked any of us to dance our moves would certainly become a little bit more inspired in the spirit of the moment.

Speaking of which, Alexandrea let everyone know that Leo was just as much of a heart throb as we wanted him to be:

“There was so much of Jack in Leo, definitely. He was very sweet; he was very goofy, absolutely adorable. He always had a smile on his face, it was great.”

She said that while she wasn’t really aware of how much of a hit Leo was with the ladies back then, she still considered him one of her BFFs. She even invited him to go trick-or-treating with her.

Unfortunately it never came to pass, but Alexandrea is still waiting for the moment he shows up on her doorstep:

“He'll be like, "You've been waiting for this for almost 20 years!"

She’s celebrated as one of the world’s most beautiful people – not to mention the only woman, it is rumoured, who ever truly captured Leonardo Dicaprio’s heart.

Now happily married to the almost equally-as-gorgeous-as-she-is athlete Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen recently retired from the catwalk to focus on other endeavours.

Still, it seems that she still feels the pressure to look her very best at all times… she’s been spotted sneaking into a Paris plastic surgeon, supposedly for €10,000 worth of procedures on her breasts and eyes.

In a bid to go unnoticed, she wore a full Muslim burqa – but, significantly, failed to remove her open-toed sandals, something of a no-no for strict adherents of the Islam faith.

The Brazilian’s long-time chauffeur was also spotted dropping her off and collecting her from the swish International Clinique du Parc Monceau. AND she was accompanied by her 29-year-old sister, Rafaela – who also reportedly had surgical procedures carried out.

The duo were staying at the five-star Bristol Hotel.

A source told Page Six, which broke the story, that the former Victoria’s Secret Angel had been concerned that her breasts had sagged after having two children – and that a boob job and eye-lift were 35th-birthday and post-retirement presents to herself.

Page Six also says that the surgery was carried on July 15, with the two women afterwards recuperating at the exclusive Les Sources de Caudalie spa for five days, before then leaving Paris.

The catwalk queen made €43m last year alone, according to Forbes, and remains the world’s highest-paid model.

The move has caused controversy in France, however, not least because the country banned the wearing of burqas in public places back in 2010. 

Many strict Muslims see it as an important guarantor of modesty — and its abuse during Ramadan, which only concluded on July 17, may be offensive.

Indeed, a clerk at the Islam Fashion store in New York called the stunt “disrespectful," in conversation with Page Six.

"This is a religious garment. It’s not so you can hide when you’re going for a doctor’s appointment," they explained.

We deeply apologise to all selfie stick lovers for bringing you this terrible news: selfie sticks have officially been banned at Disney World and Disneyland.

Disney officials have announced that starting on Tuesday, all Disney theme parks in Orlando, Paris and Hong Kong will have a ban on the popular photo taking tool.

A spokeswoman for the group explained to the Orlando Sentinel that selfie sticks have become a “growing safety concern for both our guests and cast.”

Disneyland is joining a growing list of popular venues that have banned the selfie-taking apparatus. The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Colosseum in Rome, Wimbledon tennis championships, Coachella music festival, and a host of other venues have all banned the stick.

While the world’s selfie epidemic has undoubtedly gotten out of control, we can’t argue that there have been some pretty great photos captured as a result.

So, in memory of the selfie stick, let’s take a look at our favourite five celebrity-selfie-stick-moments. 

1. Is there any possible selfie more 'fashion' than Zoolander, Hansel and Anna Wintour? Definitley, definitely not. 

2. Even the President of The United States is doing it… 

3. Wouldn't it be a downright shame if this beautiful trio couldn't capture themselves at the optimum angle?

4. A bearded Leo DiCaprio has even been seen aimlessly wandering around with his selfie stick. 

5. And last but by no means least, the woman who wrote the book on it… literally. While we realise that Kim K isn't holding a selfie stick here, her deep-rooted love for taking pictures of herself did result in an elephant giving her a fright so we simply couldn't leave it out.

Another month goes by – and lo and behold there's another gorgeous, tall, slim and basically perfect model on the arm of Leonardo Dicaprio.

But it seems this one is a little different. In fact, waves of observers are calling Kelly Rohrbach The One.

They've already been on holidays together, and – gasp! – she's met his mammy too.

“When she came into the office, she floored us immediately,” recalls MJ Day, editor of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue of the first time her met Ms Rohrbach.

“She had that spark. She’s an incredible conversationalist. When she is around, you are sucked into her. She takes the room with her presence in the best possible way.”

Sounds like Oscar-nominated Leo has a keeper on his hands.

And 25-year-old Kelly, a former pro-golfer who has a keen eye on acting as well as modelling, has certainly seen her profile sky-rocketed since hooking up with the Hollywood playboy. 

Indeed, it seems The Wolf Of Wall Street star is adept at catapulting his love-interests into A-list circles.

Here, we round the beautiful ladies who have found themselves on his arm…

 

Bar Refaeli – seen with Leo from 2006 to 2009, and from 2010 to 2011

They met at a party thrown for U2 when Israeli model Bar was just 20 – and then soon starting cropping up just about everywhere. In 2009, she even nabbed a coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover, but since splitting from Mr Dicaprio permanently in 2011, Bar’s been decidedly more under the radar. Time to nab a new A-lister, perhaps?

 

Blake Lively – seen with Leo from May to October 2011

Apparently they met when she unsuccessfully auditioned for The Great Gatsby. Then 24-years-old and a former star of Gossip Girl, she already boasted a decent profile (though evidently she was deemed unsuitable for Gatsby – the role of Daisy instead went to Carey Mulligan). That year they were spotted canoodling in Cannes, but the romance fizzled out swiftly enough.

Blake arguably had the last laugh too: she’s now married to Ryan Reynolds (swoon), and her lifestyle site, Preserve, is a massive hit.

 

Toni Garrn – seen with Leo from May 2013 to December 2014

Aged just 20 when she first met the Hollywood playboy, the German model was regularly seen in sunny locations in a bikini alongside Leo. However, they split last December, and little has been seen or heard from her since. Indeed, the duo are said to actively avoid each other at celebrity events.

Still, she’s moved on all the same and now dates Dallas Mavericks hottie Chandler Parsons.

 

Kristen Zang – seen with Leo throughout 1995 to 1997

The actress, now 41 (aka surprisingly age-appropriate), was reportedly the only woman to come close to stealing Leo’s heat – and possibly nabbing a ring. After being set-up by his mother, they dated for close-to a year-and-a-half in the mid-Nineties as Titanic was being filmed.

Speaking of the relationship at the time, he rather un-Leonardo-like said: "I can’t wait to see her at the end of the day. She is the cuttest girl in the world!" The pair supposedly remain on good terms today and for years many of his friends reckoned a reunion was all but guaranteed when the time was right.

 

Emma Miller – seen with Leo in July 2009

A Made In Chelsea cast-member during series seven, which aired last year, Emma is also a model (but of course) and a fashion blogger.

Based sporadically in LA (she has also dated Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalf), she met up with Leo at a Hollywood party six years ago. They went on a couple of dates during a period when the actor was on a break from Bar, but nothing ever materialised from their hook-ups.

 

Erin Heatherton – seen with Leo from December 2011 to September 2012

She recently said that Leo is a “wonderful person and he's a friend of mine”, before adding: “I wish him all the best.” Although she wasn’t always so positive: indeed, Erin, 26, was said to be devastated in the aftermath of their split three years ago.

The Victoria’s Secret model and Leo seemingly got on exceptionally well during their ten-month relationship, but when he jetted off to Australia to film The Great Gatsby, it was decided that their union wouldn’t go the distance.

 

Gisele Bundchen – seen with Leo from 2000 to 2005

Now married to professional American football player Tom Brady, with whom she has two children, Gisele and Leonardo were the darlings of the red-carpet circuit for five years. For some time they were actually considered to be one of Hollywood’s more stable pairings, but towards the end of their relationship they went through several on-off periods, and eventually called it quits in 2005.

The supermodel, now 34, supposedly dumped Mr Dicaprio for good when he refused to pop the question… and waves of women have been waiting ever since.

Tall? Yup. Tanned? Definitely. Blonde? Most certainly. 

Yes, it seems that Leonardo Dicaprio's new love-interest ticks all his usual love-interest boxes.

In a nutshell: she looks like a Sports Illustrated model… probably because she is, indeed, a Sports Illustrated model. 

Meet 25-year-old Kelly Rohrbach, a young woman whom, if rumour is to be believed, we'll be seeing a lot more of in the future. That's because she's now being touted as a 'serious' girlfriend for one of Hollywood's most enduring men-about-town. 

Indeed, Oscar-nominated Leo, 40, is said to be smitten with the Connecticut-native – so much so that's he's already introduced her to his beloved mama, Irmelin. 

After returning from a Caribbean jaunt on Sunday evening, on Monday the duo were spotted cruising around New York City on bikes before meeting his mother at chic waterfront eatery, La Marina.

There they reportedly tucked in to lobster flatbread and chicken lollipops, as well as mint mojitos. Sounds good!

Kelly herself looked incredibly cool and stylish in white dungarees and blue canvas flats, while Mr Dicaprio was rocking his signature scruffy look: untidy beard, baseball cap, shorts and t-shirt.  

More than just a pretty face, Ms Rohrbach is one of five children. She went to Georgetown University and even played Division One women's golf there before giving it all up for a career in acting. She's already appeared in Two And A Half Men and The PET Squad Files

Represented by IMG models she last year appeared in a major Gap advert, as well as on the pages of Self, Glamour, and Galore magazines.

She's furthermore BFFs with IMG stablemate Rachel Hilbert – who's just been announced as the new face of the Victoria's Secret Pink range.

At the age of 18, the talented Margot Robbie earned a role on the set of popular Aussie soap Neighbours, a show which Leonardo Di Caprio became very interested in after meeting the blonde actress.

Opening up about her Wolf of Wall Street co-star, Margot revealed: "When I started on The Wolf, Leo and Martin Scorcese had heard of Neighbours and were aware of what it was, but they hadn't seen any epsiodes."

Determined to remedy that oversight, the Hollywood star did what any of us would do in that situation and immediately went online to school himself on the ins and outs of Ramsey Street.

Admitting that the theme song of the long-running Australian soap could be heard on the set of the 2014 film, 24-year-old Margot chatted about Leo's interest in her past roles.

Appearing at the soap's 30th anniversary reunion, Margot told the Sunday Telegraph that Leo was determined to get to grips with her character Donna Freedman on Neighbours, saying: "He went on YouTube and watched a few clips."

How nervous would you be having Oscar-nominated (eek- touchy subject) Leonardo Di Caprio check out your CV?!

We’ve been so excited thinking that it was true love for our favourite actor, Leonardo DiCaprio and pop’s princess, Rihanna.

The pair were seen hanging out numerous times over the last few months and many had just began to assume that all systems were go for the love story.

Now, Leo’s representative has released a statement regarding the status of his love life and let’s just say it’s NOT what we wanted to hear…

Shattering our dreams, a rep for the Wolf Of Wall Street actor told the LA Times that Leo is “is single and has been for some time” adding that he is focused on shooting upcoming movie The Revenant at the moment. 

Looks like that's that then – no Leo and Rihanna romance after all!

They may have starred alongside each other in 2006 smash The Departed, but relations between Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Wahlberg weren’t always as professional as they are now.

In the early 90’s when Leo was slowly making a name for himself as a serious actor and Mark was making a name for himself dropping his pants as a rapper and underwear model, the pair were on decidedly bad terms.

Recalling his less-than-professional approach to the limelight at the time, Mark told The Hollywood Reporter in a new interview that he and Leo had a run-in at an MTV basketball game. Mark admitted he was “a punk”, saying: “I was not nice to Leo that day.”

Following this incident and upon learning that Mark had been offered a role in Leo’s 1995 film The Basketball Diaries, Leo said: “Over my dead f*cking body. Marky Mark’s not going to be in this f*cking movie. This f*cking a**hole is not going to be in the movie.”

Fortunately for the pair, they patched things up and bonded over their love of acting. Today the actors are on good terms and can often be seen hanging out at basketball games together.

How ironic.

So there we were, thinking that Robin Thicke was going to be utterly devastated when Paula Patton filed for divorce last week.

We were very wrong.

The Blurred Lines singer has put on a brave face and taken a novel approach to the news that it was, indeed, over for him and his wife – by throwing a ‘divorce party’.

And this was no ordinary get-together between a few good buddies, either. No, Robin’s bash, which took place last Friday night, was apparently attended by a bevy of hot models and celebrity pals including Leonardo DiCaprio.

According to a report in Page Six, Robin hit up a club in LA before bringing the party back to his home in the Hollywood Hills.

A source told the publication: “There were a lot of models there. Leo and Robin were being super flirtatious and talking to tons of girls.”

No doubt Robin is feeling extremely sorry for himself after finding out that Paula has moved on with musician Zak Waters, with the pair reportedly now living together.

Now that Leonardo DiCaprio has also reportedly split from his model girlfriend Toni Gaarn, we can see these two becoming a formidable pair on the Hollywood dating circuit.

Leonardo DiCaprio has finally joined Instagram so the world can breathe a sigh of relief – surely soon we will be treated to shots of yachts, cocktails and bottles of $10,000 champagne, right?

Well, not so fast…

The actor announced his new Instagram account through Twitter, writing: “This seems like the perfect setting to join Instagram and share this view from the UN General…”

Leo only has two photos so far, one of him and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and another of him giving a speech at the UN Climate Summit 2014 where he is a newly appointed messenger of peace. 

We think this might beat those yachts, Leo – very impressive!

Leo is well-know for his environmental work and even describes himself as "Actor and Environmentalist" on his Instagram page. 

Check out his amazing speech!

It will be interesting to have a peek into the Wolf of Wall Street actor's life on his own terms.

Following a report that he requested not to be seen anywhere near the Kardashians at a recent event, it would appear that Leonardo DiCaprio is one fussy fella!

It has now been said that Kim and her family are not the only ones Leo would rather steer clear of, he isn’t a fan of Justin Bieber either!

Leonardo was in the VIP area of a nightclub in Cannes during the film festival recently when Justin and his crew asked would they join. They couldn’t.

A source said of the incident: “Justin was nodding and smiling in Leo’s direction, but Leo just shook his head no and waved him off. He thinks Justin’s a little twit. Leo doesn’t want or need photo-ops with hungry, manufactured pop stars.”

Hmm, we’re not so sure we blame him?!
