Here is the new trailer for Baz Luhrman’s version of The Great Gatsby.

It’s exactly what you would expect from Baz, which can either be a good thing – or a bad thing. I loved ‘Romeo + Juliet’, but hated ‘Australia’. It really could go either way. The fact that this movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan, and from what I can see, neither of them sing….. is a good thing.

I am excited to see it. I hope it’s good!

Today we’re getting our first look at Leonardo DiCaprio in Quentin Tarantino’s new movie, ‘Django Unchained’.

DiCaprio looks awesome as a villainous plantation owner, who kidnaps Broomhilda (played by Kerry Washington), the wife of Jamie Foxx’s character.

“All Django wants to do is get his wife,” Foxx told EW’s about the new Quentin Tarantino film. “He’s not trying to cure or solve slavery. He just wants to get his life back.”

Foxx said that Tarantino’s tackles slavery in a way that few Westerns have ever attempted.

“There’s a beautiful way [Tarantino] found for the characters to talk to each other,” he said. “It’s mindblowing.”

For more on the film, including a first look at Foxx and Waltz in character, head over to EW.com.

“Django Unchained” is out in theaters on Christmas Day.

Here’s a new interview with Leonardo DiCaprio from The Sun. The interview talks about the women in his life. His mom, his girlfriend (sorta?) and Kate Winslet. He reveals he almost turned down Titanic for Boogie Nights. How awful would that have been! (The role eventually went to Mark Wahlberg, who did surprisingly well.)

Leo on his mom: “My mom, Irmelin, taught me the value of life. Her own life was saved by my grandmother during World War Two. When she was a toddler a broken leg had landed her in a German hospital. Refugees and soldiers were also in the hospital and she ended up contracting several major illnesses and stayed for two and a half years. My grandmother (Helene, who died in 2008, aged 93) came every day and nursed her back to health — the nurses did not have time. They basically left her for dead. When you see a picture of her, it’s heartbreaking. It brings tears to my eyes knowing what she has been through in her life. I have a picture, her first photograph, with this tiny little skirt. She is emaciated with a big belly. She had a belly full of worms.”

Parental guidance: “You do need parental guidance and I was in a great position with both my mum and dad. They split when I was a baby but even though I stayed with my mom they were both very much involved in my upbringing. It means I can enjoy wide interests. It made me want to travel, scuba dive, collectart, take classes in art and every place I travel I check out the museums. I have enjoyed watching wildlife in Africa and South America, far from Hollywood. My mom also taught me to get everything in perspective. I never got to the point when I was mean and cruel to people.”

He’s a clown for hire: “”I realize that I do not change the course of history. I am an actor, I do a movie, that’s the end of it. You have to realize we are just clowns for hire. After I had success it was great, at first, not to worry about money. It was on my mind when I was growing up. Just being able to buy my grandmother some scarves she wanted and not have to think about it was a sign of good times. It sounds corny but it gave me happiness at the time.”

Leo’s loves: “My first love? Boy, I don’t even remember. I suppose if I’d found my true love I would be married right now, wouldn’t I?”

Leo‘s turnoffs: “Pretentious women really turn me off. Vindictive women, too. So do opportunistic women. I think what turns me on about a girl is what most men find attractive — which is something genuine about them. Being a good person.”

He did Titanic because of Kate Winslet: “Titanic? I would love to say I predicted it would be one of the biggest hits in film history. I didn’t — and wondered whether I should do it at all. I resisted it for a long time because I had been offered the film Boogie Nights (about the 1970s porn industry, a role finally taken by Mark Wahlberg). The fact that Kate Winslet said “yes” was the final decider. She was awesome. We were definitely shoulders for each other to lean on. We had to be partners on the film. All the complaining in the world was done between us two, so we did not have to vent it on anyone else. But I am so glad to be part of that movie. Years from now, people will still be watching that film. I am part of something historical, in a lot of ways. It gave me so many opportunities, as an actor, to steer the course of my own destiny. I was able to take both my mother and grandmother to the world premiere of Titanic in London — one of my proudest moments.”

Leonardo is currently dating Erin Heatherton, a 22-year-old Victoria’s Secret model. Turns out she’s not his true love! Wonder how that felt when she read it. Even if they weren’t saying they loved each other – it would still sting a bit to read this if you were dating him.

Of course it is.

Leonardo DiCaprio certainly has a thing for models! Even after admiring model Karlie Kloss at a Victoria’s Secret fashion show after-party, it looks like he’s getting more serious with Victoria’s Secret angel Erin Heatherton.

The actor was spotted flirting with models while filming ‘The Great Gatsby’ in Sydney, but it was Erin who stole his heart.

FIRST LOOK at Leonardo DiCaprio in ‘The Great Gatsby’!

The Victoria’s Secret model flew from New York to Sydney to spend time with DiCaprio, reports say. The two were first spotted together on Dec. 9 at a martial arts event. More recently, they were seen having dinner at hot spot Barrio Chino on Sunday.

Yesterday, the gorgeous blonde popped into a Sydney lingerie shop and picked up almost $1700 worth of goods, perhaps to keep DiCaprio’s attention, the Melbourne Herald-Sun reports. She is expected to fly back to New York with DiCaprio tomorrow, the paper claims.

Meanwhile, DiCaprio’s recent ex, Blake Lively appears to be getting cozier with boyfriend Ryan Reynolds. The two were spotted yesterday in Reynolds’ hometown, Vancouver, reports People. It appears that they may be spending the holidays with his parents and brothers, who live nearby.

Attention Leonardo DiCaprio fans — we finally have our first clear shots of the hunk as mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby, and he looks incredible!

Donning a white three-piece suit and carrying a thin cane, Leo looked dashing on the Australian set of “The Great Gatsby” on Friday. Also spotted: Carey Mulligan sporting cropped, blonde hair and a purple flapper-esque dress as Daisy Buchanan, and Leo’s real-life BFF Tobey Maguire in a green sweater and bowtie as Midwestern, Yale grad Nick Caraway.

“The Great Gatsby” marks the first time that Leo has reunited with flashy director Baz Luhrmann since the pair worked together on 1996’s highly-stylized version of “Romeo + Juliet.” Joel Edgerton and Isla Fisher also star in the much-anticipated flick, which will hit theaters Christmas Day, 2012.

SEE THE PICS!
