Leo's on YouTube and he's got a new babe
The first trailer for "Blood Diamond," the film that has the international diamond industry shaking in their boots, is now up on YouTube.
The shot of Djimon Hounsou holding up the diamond and staring at it with wonder - with an ominous voice-over about 'a stone that will test the hearts of men' - feels a tad "Lord of the Rings-ish," but the movie still looks pretty action-packed, dramatic and exciting.
And kudos to Leonardo DiCaprio for his very impressive South African accent. It's even better than Tim Robbins' in "Catch a Fire," and that's saying a lot.
Even more impressive than his S.A. accent is his new girlfriend Bar Rafaeli.
Bar who? Here's the scoop. She just turned 21. She's an Israeli swimsuit model and they've been dating for about six months. Wanna see more Bar?
People magazine reported that the love birds were spotted in Paris in April strolling down the Champs-Elysees and dining at a Japanese restaurant.
For the full story on how they met, you have to click here to go Bar's website (no, I'm not kidding) where you can read details of how they met (In Vegas at a party for U2), how he flew to Barcelona to see her, how he sends flowers and chocolates to her when she's in New York for audition. And on and on.
(News Flash: A reader says it's NOT her official site. It's a "fan site," and an eerily well informed fan site, I might add. See comments for more details.)
Oh, and there are also lots of photos of Bar, which I'm sure Leo also looks at a lot when the lovers are kept apart by work schedules.
One thing I can safely predict is that Leo won't be giving Bar any diamond rings. Not after the education he's gotten about conflict diamonds from shooting "Diamond" in South Africa.
Gosh, isn't is a shame Leo can't seem to attract decent-looking ladies. He's rich, famous and not bad looking. What gives? This new one is as much of a dog as that Brazilian double-bagger Gisele Bundchen. Thank God we don't have to look at her anymore.

Hi Elizabeth - that is actually not Bar's official site. Its a fansite. She has an official fansite but it not that one. On her official site, its stritly photos and covers, no talk of her private life.
I wish I could see one of your phots just to compare you beauty to to
Amazing Brazilian Model
Miss Bundchen.
Being nice to people is always nice.
My goodness. Bar is certainly raising the bar, isn't she?
Leo obviously can't seem to decide on simply "hot" or "galactic" females. I'm going to go wallow in self pity for a while and pretend I'm famous.
I assume you are joking when you criticize Miss Bundchen's looks? And certainly you are joking when you ridicule Bar's physical appearance?
The jokes aren't really funny, you know. Leave the girls alone. Just because they are models, it doesn't mean they are open season for ridicule.
Leonardo respects all women---his mother is a wonderful influence in his life.
What the hell are you talking about? giselle is stunning you need to visit your local optometrist i think or maybe you have been hurt by another giselle and your ego is bruised.
Well maybe i should become a model to become one of leo's lovers. Not fair.
If only there where more Leo's Out there.
