Good news ladies, Leo is now single. The bad news is you won’t be able to get a hold of him until after he finishes his lady bender in six to eight months. You can expect to find Leo back at his old hangout cruising for aspiring actresses. The couple’s reps told US Weekly that they’re breaking up but will remain good friends. This means Blake Lively is single and it’s only a matter of time until Derek Jeter takes a swing at her in an attempt to complete his “I hit 3000 home-runs and banged every woman in Hollywood” legacy. However, I have a strong inclination Serena Van Der Woodsen will be just fine. If you notice the men in your life have an unexplained “glow” today it’s probably because she’s back on the market and they heard the good news. XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Martin Scorcese Wants To Work With Rupert Grint

We’re not sure we see this one, but hey, Martin Scorsese knows a heck of a lot better than we do.

The legendary film director has said that he believes Rupert Grint, known more commonly as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movies, could be the next big thing in male acting, reports PerezHilton.

“I thought [Grint] was a great actor in the Harry Potter movies,” Scorsese reportedly told sources. “In a lot of scenes, the boy stole the show.”

Scorsese explains the importance of branching out into different roles to avoid risk of being typecast as Ron Weasley forever.

“He will always have respect for the movies that gave him such a huge break, but at his age it’s important he doesn’t become a typecast,” the director said. “He has to do something really out of his comfort zone in the next few years – play a gangster, play a dirty cop, play a kid with learning difficulties. I would be interested in working with him.”

“I would have no issues casting him as a gangster, he is a very talented young man,” he continued. “When Leo [DiCaprio] was in Titanic and Romeo and Juliet, nobody saw him becoming a bad ass in movies like The Departed. But he has become one of the greatest actors of all time. The very same could be true for Rupert.”

Strong words from an important man! Pressure’s on, Rupert!

Rant ‘N Rave: Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio

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.
