NEWS.i.e. Leonardo DiCaprio to play Lenin

Leonardo DiCaprio is rumored to be in negotiations to play Vladimir Lenin in the biopic Lenin’s Brain, according to British newspaper The Sun.

The movie will be directed by a Russian director, Alexander Borodyansky, who believes the actor has a striking physical resemblance to the communist leader when he was young.

“I’d say that Leo can impersonate the revolutionary leader even without make-up”

This isn't the first time Leo was asked to play a legendary figure. In 2004 he played Howard Hughes in the Aviator and Romeo of Romeo + Juliet in 1996. In 2010, he is set to play Teddy Roosevelt in The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt.

Brangelina Brood

Here are some excerpts from the interview with Hello! magazine.

On breast feeding the twins:
A: They are on the same schedule. They eat every three hours and I’m getting better at holding them both for breast-feeding at the same time, so that helps. Usually the other kids come in and hold them when they finish. They help with the baths and the changing.
B: We try to get them to eat simultaneously for the sake of management, but it gets a little crowded at the bar!

On finding out you were having twins:
A: We were in shock and could not stop laughing.
B: We bust into hysterics. My sister had made a joke about twins literally the night before, because my grandparents and sis both had twins. Angie was on the table during the sonogram, and we were in hysterics.
We didn’t see this one coming.

On choosing the names Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline:
B: The name Vivienne came to us early, as if she named herself. She has always been Viv. And Marcheline is to honour Angie’s late mother. Knox is a family name - my grandfather’s - and Leon is a classic French name.

On their personalities:
B: I dare to say that Viv is proving to resemble Angie in spirit, attitude and physicality. She is quite elegant like her mother. And Knox, he’s a bit of me. He likes music like his dad. When he was born he looked like Putin!

On Maddox as a big brother:
B: This is Mad’s fourth and fifth time at becoming an older bro. He’s asking us when we can have more!

On Shiloh as a big sister:
A: Shiloh calls them her babies. She and Zahara pick out their clothes, help change and hold them. It’s sweet, they are like little mommies.

On bedrest for Angelina:
A: Brad and the kids came a few nights each week and spent the night. So we never went too long without seeing eachother. I also watched The War by Kevin Burns. I figured it would be the only chance I had to watch a 15-hour documentary!

On food cravings:
A: My only craving was cheese and milk. Still is.

On her post c-section recovery:
A: The first few days were a little difficult but we had a great team of doctors and they helped me feel better quickly.
B: She’s over-achieving.

On using fertility drugs or IVF to become pregnant:

A: “We were in shock [when we heard about the rumors] and could not stop laughing ‘If they had been conceived through IVF we would have been happy to discuss it.’ “But we have been fortunate never to have had fertility problems.”

Jolie-Pitts' Twins Conceived the Natural Way

The whole twins craze has become a new phenomenon among the stars like Jennifer Lopez, Marcia Cross and Julia Robert relying on InVitro Fertilization to conceive their babies in late thirties and their forties. Being that Angelina was pregnant with twins, automatically suggested that IVF was at play, which was questionable because of her young age of 32. Now they reveal the facts in the Hello Magazine interview:

"If they had been conceived through IVF, we would have been happy to discuss it. But we have been fortunate never to have had fertility problems."

Brangelina's Twins - Vivienne & Knox

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's $15 million dollar babies have been exclusively revealed by People (US) and Hello (UK) and will feature 19 pages of intimate family photos.

"It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time," Jolie tells PEOPLE of daily life at the Château Miraval in Provence, France, where the couple's four older children – Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2 – have been enjoying a summer of outdoor play (hide-and-seek is a favorite) on the château's sprawling grounds.

Adds Pitt: "[It's] still a cuckoo's nest."

Fortunately, they already have some household helpers. "[Shiloh] and Z pick out [the twins'] clothes and help change and hold them," says Jolie. "It's sweet – they are little mommies."

Here's a teaser to whet your appetite.

Naomi's New Future Ex-Boyfriend

Naomi Campbell's newest conquest is Russian billionaire, Vladislav Doronin, worth over $1.5 billion as a property tycoon. As you can tell from the photo, this is the only form of communication they could possibly have, and there's his translator trying to relay the message. According to her model friends, they're very much in love and "it was love at first sight" for the tall couple.

I give her a few weeks until she starts abusing him, and I give him only a few seconds to have her whacked. Russian style!

Oldie but a Goodie - Becks do AliG

Enjoy this Ali G clip before he and the famous couple blew up. Can't help but be irked by David's high-pitched voice, and strangely enough Victoria is quite down to earth and smiley. Ali G is brilliant, as always.

Party Shots of Petra Nemcova

It looks like Petra found a new guy, after she ended her relationship with James Blunt, who did not do her justice. After losing her fiance in the 2004 tsunami while on a vacation, she made it out alive suffering a multitude of bruises and a huge loss. I'm glad she's finding happiness again.

Setting the record straight!

"Everyone loses their shit on occasions, don’t they? Like, ‘Oh God, what demon possessed me to do that?' My wife gets to live with a variety of men. Some of them she likes, some of them she doesn’t. There are ones people like and others that they say, ‘Man we’re glad you’re finished with that project. You were an asshole’.”

Exceeding Expectations

It is the first movie in history to cross the $200 Million mark in 5 days.

Mostly due to the inflated ticket prices, but Heath's phantom spirit lives in the movie and everyone is dying to see just what drove the actor to his deathbed.

New LOOK!

Thank you all for visiting my site. As you can tell, I'm experimenting with a new look, and I hope you will like the updates. I would love to know what you think about the look, content and what you want more of. So let me know your thoughts!!!
