Leonardo DiCaprio

Jessica Simpson is back to making a fool of herself where men are concerned. The buxom beauty was looking for buds at a recent VIP shindig in Cannes, but she got the cold shoulder instead. After Jess hit the Vanity Fair party she headed over to a swank yacht party, but when she didn’t know anyone there, she tried to glom onto Leonardo DiCaprio.

From Page Six:

The part-time girlfriend of John Mayer “spent the whole night following Leonardo DiCaprio around like a lost puppy,” said our source. “He just seemed freaked out and kind of ignored her.”

Frankly, I’d be a little freaked out too if Jessica Simpson was tailing me. She’s acting a little bit like that nerdy girl in high school that you said to once and suddenly she thinks you’re her best friend. And you know that chick is hard to ditch.

We all know that Leonardo DiCaprio is in touch with his environmental side. And while he may want the rest of us to ride bikes and recycle everything that isn’t edible, the tree hugging star gets a little snippy when his own resource wasting is pointed out.

From TMZ:

The Daily News reports that he was recently riled when a reporter at a Cannes screening of his eco-documentary “The 11th Hour” confronted the star on his gas-guzzling travel habits. When asked whether he took a private jet from New York to the French Riviera, a visibly annoyed DiCaprio snapped, “No, I took a train across the Atlantic,” before adding, “I try to travel commercial as much as I can”.

And the global warming guru is busted burning up the fossil fuels. See, even Leo will sacrifice a few trees when he doesn’t want to be late for a photo op.

Opps, there goes another super-model. Looks like Leonardo DiCaprio is losing another runway walker girlfriend. Rumor has it that Leo and girlfriend Isreali model Bar Rafeali fought it out over cell phones while Leonardo was in a London nightclub with friends.

British newspaper the Daily Mirror reports the 32-year-old told Rafaeli, “I’ve had enough of this,” as he sat at his table at the Aura nightspot. A source adds, “His friends were having a good time but Leo just sat there looking really glum and texting all night. “Then Leo’s phone rang and he started having this heated conversation.”

There must be some initiation rite among models that says you can’t be one of the cool models until you have dated Leonardo DiCaprio. You know you’re the man when your starting requirement for a girlfriend is that she be a supermodel. Not bad for the add-on kid from Growing Pains. Oh yeah, Leo…we remember that.

And the Hollywood adoption train just keeps chugging along. Page Six reports that Leonardo DiCaprio has adopted an African child…sort of.

Being wifeless, he does not plan to raise the child, live with the child or endure any long nights rocking it to sleep. His support will be a monthly check. While in South Africa making “Blood Diamond,” he met a little girl from an orphanage. Played with her, talked with her, became fascinated by her. He’s now “adopted” her, and parenting will continue by phone.

So, this girl is just going to be the best dressed child in the orphange. I hope the other kids don’t swipe her Jimmy Choos. Seriously, I didn’t know long distance parenting was an option. Sign me up for that. Spit up is much cuter when viewed in an email.

Given the adoption fad sweeping Hollywood, I’m expecting African orphans to be included in the swag bags at all the hot awards shows this year.

Although Leonardo DiCaprio refuses to drive a gas-eating SUV or German-made car like most other celebrities, and owns an environmentally friendly hybrid car, he still refuses to give up his private planes, which use up more gas than 20 SUV’s put together. According to Page Six:

“On Thursday, DiCaprio, his mom, his grandmother and girlfriend Bar Rafaeli, 21, chartered a private jet from Paris to Rome for some vacation time on the way to the premiere of “The Departed” in Rome. The group had so much fun in Paris, that they were hoping to return after the premiere on the company’s dime, a source tells the New York Post. “He asked Warner Bros. to put him up in the Bristol Hotel a little longer, and they said, ‘Only if he would do more press.’” “
