The self-proclaimed “king of the world” and his movie star love are back.

Yes, the world’s hottest on-screen couple are once again making girls squeal and boys shamelessly admit that they understand what all the fuss is about.

Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. Their names just roll off your tongue like sweet candy. Kate is the woman that everyone dreams about—men and women—and Leo is the object of every man’s envy.

Some might say that Brangelina was once the hottest couple on screen—I beg to differ (although both Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Titanic differ offer equally steaming sex scenes. And, oh please, don’t make me describe either of them to you).

But after the Titanic run came to an end 12 years ago—and $2.5 billion dollars at the box office later—Kate and Leo had to prove that they could out-live their Titanic fame.

And neither has failed.

Not even freakin’ close.

Leo is, perhaps, one of the smartest and most talented actors in generations. If Hollywood had a celebrity idol to praise and worship—Leo is the guy. His roles are stimulating, challenging and they have substance. From his string of successful movies (Gangs of New York, Aviator, Blood Diamond, The Departed, etc, etc) he has proven that he deserves to be on Hollywood’s hot list.

It’s not just a famous over used movie line. He IS the freakin’ king of the world.

Kate. Oh Kate. If there is any female in Hollywood that I have a girl crush on—Kate’s the one. In recent years, she too has racked up her own resume with impressive credentials. From her role in the mesmerizing Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind film to the tear-jerking Finding Neverland, Kate no longer needs to prove she is more than just a beauty (did she ever?) Sure, she has a body that anybody her age–hell, anybody MY age would kill for—but she is more than just a woman who looks ridiculously amazing at 33.

For example: She deserves every reward for her performances.

Which is why I jumped will glee when Kate won not once, but TWICE at last week’s Golden Globes. The actress received a Best Actress Golden Globe for Revolutionary Road—directed by her husband Sam Mendes—and a Best Supporting Actress win for her role as a former Nazi death camp prison guard in The Reader. For someone who was nominated four times but
never won, she deserved all the glory.

And we all know the best part of the night. No it wasn’t when Kate praised rival actresses in her category and, for a moment, forgot “the other one”—Angelina Jolie (although might some agree this was it). It was during her gushing acceptance speech. I’m usually all hoorah for the get-to-the-point speeches. You know, the ones that are incredibly short and are sans the long ass story about something that relates to the awards but not really? (Steven Spielberg, I’m looking at you). It was her moment. I was totally fine with watching her mumble for a few minutes before she composed herself.

Back to my point.

I loved it when Kate told Leo (her true soul mate) that she loved him. She continued to say his performance was nothing short of spectacular. She smiled at him. He blew her kisses.

Only then did she turn to her husband.

Heck, I do not fault her. Any woman in her position would’ve done the same. Leo needs some lovin’. Especially since he only has one Golden Globe win under his name but several nominations for outstanding roles.

Leo is also a numerous Academy-Award nominee but has yet to win. I can’t help but wonder what the hell the people are waiting for! There’s a common belief that Leo’s time for a win will come—but why not now? Why does he have to wait years to get an award for a performance that is mind-blowing? It would be like never acknowledging Sean Penn for his roles. Outrageous! Leo has starred in too many movies and has shown talent that most actors only dream of possessing.

And while I will now continue to obsess over Kate and Leo in silence, I will leave you to imagine how your life would be without either of them ever making another movie.

Impossible. I know.
