I find this particularly ironic since I saw a trailer for this movie when I went to see District 9 today. (Incidentally, I have never seen more people walk out of the theater during the first 20 minutes of a film than during District 9. But I digress…)

The release date of Leonardo DiCaprio’s new thriller, Shutter Island, has been pushed back from October of this year to February of 2010. Leo was getting ready to head out and promote the Scorsese film when the Paramount pulled the plug.

Paramount Pictures chairman and CEO Brad Grey says, “Our 2009 slate was green-lit in a very different economic climate and as a result we must remain flexible and willing to recalibrate and adapt to a changing environment.

“Leonardo DiCaprio is among the most talented actors working today, and Martin Scorsese is not just one of the world’s most significant filmmakers, but also a personal friend. Following a highly successful 2009, we have every confidence that Shutter Island is a great anchor to lead off our 2010 slate and the shift in date is the best decision for the film (and) the studio.”

Paramount has had some huge Summer box office successes this year with Star Trek, Transformers: Revenge of the Horrible Movie, and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. But huge Summer blockbusters require equally huge budgets, and the studio has spent a pretty penny promoting them.

I thought of that title because it’s a game I play with my dog, who is also named Leo. I pull down his ears so that they cover his eyes, and then I say “Where is Leo? PEEK-A-BOO!” But unlike a delighted and amused human child, Leo jerks away and then looks at me like “WHAT THE FUCK YOU CRAZY BITCH I CAN’T SEE WHEN YOU DO THAT.”

Anyway.

LeoNARDO was playing peek-a-boo with the paps yesterday, who are chasing him as he’s trying to vacation on the Spanish island of Formentera. I was originally going to title this post “Catch Me If You Can,” but then I realized that I’d like it much better if I could talk about my dog.

I should also say — because I’m asked this all the time — that Leo was not named after Leonardo DiCaprio. He has the name Leo because that was his name at the shelter where I got him. But I will say that my friend’s sister has a cat named Leonardo DiCatio. The same sister just got a chihuahua and named him Justin Bobby. I think someone needs to award this young woman a MacArthur Genius Grant, stat. Just fund her to give people money to let her name their pets. The world would be a much more amusing place.

“Sam would sort of yell from the other room, ‘No, Leo really grab her thigh! Really grab her thigh!’ I thought, ‘This is really strange, but I’m gonna go with it.’”

Kate Winslet, talking about filming love scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio in Revolutionary Road, while her husband, Sam Mendes, directed.

Time is a thief.  Russell Crowe has aged.  Why does he look like Grizzly Adams at the Body of Lies movie premiere today?  A little Just for Men and a haircut would serve him well.  Leonardo DiCaprio looks hot…bloated but hot.  Not a question in my mind he’s a closet potato binger.

These guys are celebrities; I expect them to be Botoxed, plastic and firm…the way nature intended. 

Here’s the adorable Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio — the couple we fell in love with in Titanic — sharing the screen again in Revolutionary Road.

Do they still have their on-camera chemistry???

I know you guys probably love him. That’s fine. I’m not judging you. But I hate Thomas Brady.

Just look at him. Here with Gisele, his girlfriend. Whatever, dude, that leather jacket makes you look like a member of the West Side Story Jets.

Evidently there was an awkward little moment between Gis, Tom, and Leo last night.

This happens to me all the time. See, I used to have this girlfriend who was nominated for multiple Oscars. But then I started dating this chick who is a tennis pro pulling down seven figures a year. You know how that goes. Then we’d occasionally all show up at the same Jiffy Lube to get our 2003 Hyundai Sonata worked on, including a new air filter, and it would be so very weird. It was like “So, how’s the acting going?” while my new girl toy practiced her backhand, pretending not to be infuriated with me.

But she was.

So yeah, anyway, I loathe this T-Brad guy.

So, if you haven’t heard by now, Leo DiCaprio and Bar Rafael are dunzo.

So who’s Bar banging now?

None other than pro surfer Kelly Slater. Who, many folks have pointed out, is also who Giselle Bundchen jumped into bed with after she split with the What’s Eating Gilbert Grape star. (Sorry, but everyone else is referring to him as the Titanic star when they write that sentence, and I wanted to be different.)

Isn’t this also the same dude Cameron Diaz ran to when she split with Justin Timberlake?

This guy has the rebound sex routine down pat. He should start teaching seminars.
