Getting Bullied Prompted Leonardo DiCaprio’s Career
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Features,
Leonardo DiCaprio claims getting beaten up when he was 15 changed his whole life.
The actor was brought up in a tough area of East Hollywood, Los Angeles, but won a scholarship to University Elementary School in a better part of town, which meant he was in for a shock when he later returned to standard schooling.
"When I went back to the public school system it was like - boom - this is reality. I got beat up the day I arrived because I had the attitude of everyone living harmoniously with one another. That was the motivational thing that happened to me in my life. I was 15, and I said to my mom, 'I want to be an actor. Please take me to auditions.' Because I had to get out of that public school system."
The Wolf of Wall Street star Leonardo, 39, also said his upbringing in an area where there was "a major prostitution ring on my street corner [and] crime and violence everywhere" meant he has never had the desire to take drugs.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin Selling London Home
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Rumors,
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are selling their $11.5 million London home.
The couple are moving out of the upmarket area of Belsize Park in North London after a series of arguments with their neighbors, who are upset by constant modifications to their property. "We have had years of their building works. They have taken down trees so they can park their flash cars in the driveway and they put a huge swimming pool in the back garden," a local said.
Another neighbor added, "The trouble is that it will probably be a similar sort that moves in and we'll have this all over again."
Iron Man 3 actress Gwyneth and Coldplay singer Chris - who have Apple, nine, and Moses, seven, together - bought their home ten years ago for $4 million from actress Kate Winslet. They then bought the neighboring property for $5 million as well as another house on the other side and combined all three to make a huge 33-room mansion.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Dating, Clothing, Style, Rumors,
Cara Delevingne and Michelle Rodriguez are moving in together.
The British model and the American actress have become inseparable over the past few weeks and are now house hunting in the UK for their own place. "They love spending time with one another so moving in is a no-brainer. Splitting their time between London and LA would suit both of them. Cara's family have met Michelle and think she's great," a source said.
Michelle, 35, and Cara, 21, first sparked rumors they were dating after they were spotted cuddling up to each other while watching the New York Knicks defeat the Detroit Pistons at Madison Square Garden at the beginning of the month.
The Burberry model - who has been romantically linked to One Direction star Harry Styles - has hinted in the past that she is attracted to both men and women. She also wrote a cryptic message on Twitter in November, which read, "Don't worry I play for more than one team."

Emma Roberts' fiane thought that she was "weird" when they first met.
The couple - who got engaged over the Christmas period - were introduced to each other while filming Adult World in 2012, but the 22-year-old actress admits her beau Evan Peters, 26, didn't show her an ounce of interest at first, despite her endless flirting.
"We met on the movie. Everyone thought we dated on the movie and we didn't, not for a long time after. I actually, on the set, was like, 'Oh yeah, we're totally gonna date.' And I would like flirt with him, which ended up looking like I had something in my eye because I'd be like, 'Hey, what's up?' and he literally didn't speak to me the entire movie. He thought I was so weird," she said, speaking on Chelsea Lately.
However, the blonde beauty admits her costume didn't do her any favors when it came to encouraging Evan to ask her out on a date. "I had no makeup, it looks like I cut my own hair off, so I was not exactly looking cute to get a man," she added.

Scarlett Johansson has quit her role as an ambassador for Oxfam.
The 29-year-old actress - who has been working with Oxfam since 2007 - has stepped away from actively supporting the charity which opposes all trade from Israeli settlements due to a "fundamental difference of opinion."
Scarlett's move comes after she received criticism for her support of SodaStream - a home soda maker - which has a factory in an Israeli settlement in the West Bank. "Scarlett Johansson has respectfully decided to end her ambassador role with Oxfam after eight years. She and Oxfam have a fundamental difference of opinion in regards to the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement. She is very proud of her accomplishments and fundraising efforts during her tenure with Oxfam," a statement released stated.
Oxfam wishes the brunette beauty luck with future endeavors but accepts their different stance meant they were "incompatible." The charity said, "While Oxfam respects the independence of our ambassadors, Ms. Johansson's role promoting the company SodaStream is incompatible with her role as an Oxfam Global Ambassador. Oxfam believes that businesses, such as SodaStream, that operate in settlements further the ongoing poverty and denial of rights of the Palestinian communities that we work to support. Oxfam is opposed to all trade from Israeli settlements, which are illegal under international law."

"Suki is a real Londoner. She loves the style, the nightlife, her family nearby and all of her childhood friends. LA is a very different beast - it's all juices and going to bed early for yoga at dawn," a source said.
It was previously claimed the couple - who have been dating for a year - are so serious about one another, they have discussed starting a family. "Bradley and Suki have been talking about having kids next year. They've been inseparable and Suki told friends having kids is something she's thinking about.
