Virginity Comments Leave DiCaprio Blushing
Red-faced movie star Leonardo DiCaprio was left covering up his blushes during a recent TV interview after being quizzed about when he first had sex. DiCaprio was asked to comment on remarks made by his Body of Lies co-star Russell Crowe, in which the Oscar winner suggested his young pal was an 18-year-old virgin when they made western The Quick And The Dead together in 1995. Commenting on the differences between DiCaprio then and now, Crowe quipped, "The two things that have changed about Leo since th

Guess Who?? Guess Who??
Oh dear Lord! Guess which movie star’s really let himself go and gained a whopping four and half stone, and grown a long pony tail?! It’s Russell Crowe – of course. We spotted the 44-year-old former heartthrob plodding around Beverly Hills earlier today. Don’t worry, Russell hasn’t really let himself go, in fact he’s piled on the extra pounds for his latest film Body Of Lies, in which he plays a bloated and manipulative CIA boss alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.

No more ‘weighty roles’ for Russell Crowe

Body of Lies, round 1.
"With Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio interpreting a script by William Monahan (The Departed), Body of Lies puts on prominent display deceptions, betrayals and dispensable attitudes toward humanity that might be essential to United States intelligence work overseas, but that seem particularly challenging at a time when studios appear happy to mollify audiences with hormone-based comedies and superhero epics. It's true that some classics of American cinema, like Chinatown and the Godfather films, have ta

Watch Nine New Clips from 'Body of Lies'
Ostensibly, the fall awards season really kicks off next week with Body of Lies. I don't necessarily believe it has Oscar potential, based on what I've seen, but it's clearly the first movie of the fall with this kind of pedigree: Ridley Scott, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, and screenwriter William Monahan. It's a deluxe set-up, that's for sure. Leo plays a CIA guy sent into Jordan to track down a high-profile terrorist, but the operation he's trying to run on the groundmay n

Kristin Scott Thomas is shining star of 'Seagull'
In light of the fact that two notable revivals of Anton Chekhov's melancholy masterwork have run in New York within the last 13 months (one with Dianne Wiest, the other, Ian McKellen), it's easy to consider a new Broadway version from London just a waste of feathers. Until you see it.
