Leonardo DiCaprio is the latest to get the Madame Tussauds wax treatment, but unfortunately due to global warming he is now just a sad pool of Leo. Free band name for the taking: “Sad Pool of Leo.” From AccessHollywood.com

Unveiled yesterday in Central London, the wax Leo joins the ranks of other famous figures, including recent additions Prince Charles, “Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe, and David & Victoria Beckham.

I love that all this company does is make wax versions of a famous person every few weeks and then they get major press all over the world because of it. I’m going to start making celebrity figures out of martini olives and empty Ketel bottles. Now that would be press-worthy.

Oh, industrious people–doing their best to make me look bad. Leonardo DiCaprio is a busy bee these days, making those of us lazy sloths look even lazier by comparison. But, I guess if I was making the kind of bank he does for being in movies, I’d be dancing like the Warner Bros. frog. “Hello my darling! Hello my baby! Hello my rag-time gal!” But seriously, Leo might want to cut down on the workload. He apparently is scheduled to be in fourteen films, which is a total of approximately $500 million dollars worth of studio budgets weighing on his shoulders. When asked by Hollywood Today how he decides what projects make the cut, Leo responded:

“That’s a good question! That’s what I’m dealing with right now (Laugh). I’m taking one thing at a time. I just finished a film called “Revolutionary Road” with Kate Winslett, directed by Sam Mendes. We shot that in New York and Connecticut. I just got back four days ago. And then, I’m gonna go work with Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe in Morocco on an untitled film. A film about CIA operatives, I’ll start that in a few months.”

And I like to imagine that somewhere, James Van Der Beek is saying to himself, “There goes the man who stole my career.” And a friend of James’ hears him, shakes his head and says, “No, James. No he didn’t.”

We’ve been reporting here and there that Leonardo DiCaprio is engaged and planning on getting married to his girlfriend, Israeli supermodel, Bar Rafaeli, and that she might even have a bun in the oven. But as it turns out, Rafaeli recently told Italian Vanity Fair that she has no interest in marriage in general.

“The truth is, I don’t believe in marriage. A couple doesn’t need a contract,” she said.

I think that it’s awesome that she is so modern and doesn’t need a ring to feel committed to her guy. However, the last thing I need is for this concept to leak to my boyfriend, who could possibly use against me by indicating that my interest in marriage is a big red flag that I might not actually be a supermodel like I originally told him.

While Leonardo is filming “Revloutionary Road” (of which these photos are from), he did take some time out of his busy schedule to visit his girlfriend Bar Refaeli, who is filming a movie in Syracuse. While doing so, he gave a waitress at the local Johnny Rockets a little thrill. No one except for server Erika DeSocio recognized DiCaprio, and she gladly took his table.

“I am at Johnny Rockets waiting on my tables and I see this man come up to the counter with a black Boston (Red Sox) cap and sunglasses on, sweater with a collared striped shirt under it, shorts and men’s sandals on.

“I noticed and recognized him right away and no one else did to my surprise. . .so I said, ‘Hi are you all ready to order?’

“He said, ‘Yeah. I’ll have a strawberry shake, a chicken club and an order of American fries. . .wait, make that a diet instead of the shake.’

“I said, ‘OK, no problem.’

The story continues, along with the camera phone photo that Erika DeSocio took of Leo and herself, after the jump.

Cause girlfriend is getting TRAGIC. At a very VIP yacht party in Cannes this weekend, Jessica Simpson found herself very much out of her element. She went to the soiree after attending the Vanity Fair party at Hotel Du Cap and arrived, only to find that she didn’t really know anyone there. 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.”

And the problem is that his being freaked out and ignoring her probably only encouraged her to keep mildly stalking him, since it sounds like that’s what John does to her more than half the time during their “relationship.”

• “Yesterday, Rosie [O’Donnell]’s chief writer, Janette Barber, was allegedly escorted from the building after she was caught drawing moustaches on photographs of [Elisabeth] Hasselbeck that hang in the “View” studios.”
• Jessica Simpson totally ‘freaks out’ Leonardo DiCaprio by stalking him at Hotel Du Cap on Saturday night.
• Meanwhile, in other celebrity stakeout news, “Mrs. […]

At the Cannes film festival, Leonardo DiCaprio attended a screening of his latest film, “The 11th Hour,” a documentary about the environment, which predicts a gloomy fate for the planet if pollution goes unchecked. DiCaprio was quizzed by reporters, who implied that the actor’s “green” ideals are at odds with his celebrity lifestyle.

Asked whether he had taken a fuel-guzzling flight on his way to the French Riviera, the Hollywood heartthrob was sarcastic. “No, I took a train across the Atlantic,” he said, adding: “We’re all trying the best we can, truly, we really are.”

Whatever, the dude drives a Prius and seems to genuinely want to raise awareness about the environment by pretty consistently putting his money where his mouth is. I’m sure it’s not possible to be all green all the time, so at least he’s making a valiant effort. Plus, he’s dated a Victoria’s Secret angel. If I had, that’s how I would end all arguments–by bringing that up.

Why do celebrities have such a hard time doing work on their homes? Leonardo DiCaprio is being sued by his neighbors who are claiming he excavated land in a negligent manner.

Usmagazine.com has obtained court papers in which Robert and Joan Linclau allege that by excavating his property on Thrasher Ave. in Los Angeles, Leo, 32, has caused their land to cave in and slide.

Adding insult to supposed injury? The property on Thrasher is not where Leo lives, it’s merely an extra lot he purchased to help keep his home on nearby Oriole Dr. more secluded.

I guess this is another casualty of being a celebrity. You buy some land for the privacy, and you end up getting a lawsuit out of it.
