Leonardo DiCaprio manages to stay fairly illusive when it comes to the paparazzi. For some reason, no one else in Hollywood seems capable of this.

Leo was spotted after the photographer was tipped off that Leo was taking a meeting there yesterday. Later last night DiCaprio was at the Premiere club getting his party on. He was out on Monday night as well, and Wednesday he was at Trousdale here in West Hollywood with Chace Crawford dancing and enjoying a solid buzz. Good times!

Why was Leo even considering working with such a pig? Sure, he’s had a few good projects but you’d still have to work with him. This latest series of scandalous phone call recordings of him ranting at his soon to be ex wife were enough to have Leonardo DiCaprio bailing out of Mel Gibson’s latest film.

“Leo has earned the right to pick and choose who he works with and Mel Gibson is not one of them.”

Mel was going to be the director on some Viking flick working with producer Graham King and Icon Pictures… which is Mel’s production company. Leo was set to be the lead and has since backed out of the deal.

To preface this interesting little quote from our new favorite ‘Inception‘ star, Tom Hardy, I should tell you that the first thing that both of us said after leaving ‘Inception’ was, ‘who was that thick, big lipped, hottie guy?’

He can act and all but what about his thick large side order of thighs? After reading this quote from the Daily Mail UK you’ll be even more intrigued by the ‘Inception’ hottie.

“The 32-year-old Inception star, who is engaged to British actress Charlotte Riley, 28, and also has a two-year-old son with a former girlfriend. But asked if he’d ever had any sexual relations with other men, the broody actor said:

‘As a boy? Of course I have. I’m an actor for f**k’s sake. ‘I’ve played with everything and everyone. I love the form and the physicality, but now that I’m in my thirties, it doesn’t do it for me. I’m done experimenting but there’s plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life. A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes. I have definite feminine qualities and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine.’”

Loving him…

Have you seen ‘Inception’ yet? If not, Leo is going to do his very best to keep reminding you to do so. The normally very press shy Leonardo DiCaprio is working the media circuit like a pro and is even peddling a little flesh for the pages of the newest issue of Rolling Stone available today on newsstands, of which he is the cover man/boy. He chats partying under the radar, ‘Titanic’, his love life….

DiCaprio relaxes enough to smoke a few cigars, have some beers, sing the Cheers theme song (badly) and open up on everything from his wild youth as Hollywood’s hottest heartthrob to a recent brush with death:

On getting his party on before the TMZ age…

“I got to be wild and nuts, and I didn’t suffer as much as people do now, where they have to play it so safe that they ruin their credibility. I didn’t care what anyone thought…. It was also about avoiding the tornado of chaos, of potential downfall. It was, ‘Wow, how lucky are we to not have hung out with that crowd or done those things?’ My two main competitors in the beginning, the blond-haired kids I went to audition with, one hung himself and the other died of a heroin overdose… . I was never into drugs at all. There aren’t stories of me in a pool of my own vomit in a hotel room on the Hollywood Strip.”

On being a little kid who was a smart ass…

“I was essentially a dwarf with the biggest mouth in the world. I would talk back to anyone and be up for any fight, and when you tell a kid that’s three years older than you to shove it, you’re going to get your ass beat…I was a real punk, there’s no question about it.”

Yes, she might not look so horrible in these photos but didn’t she just get totes busted by a judge who is watching everything she is doing? Has she no shame or no brian?

Spiraling downward faster than Kendra Wilkinson’s marriage post sex tape. Here is the pill popping, party princess, soon to play a porn star, Lindsay Lohan doing her late night party at this after hours at a private home. She has managed to cleverly conceal her new ankle accessory… her SCRAM monitor. What a shambles this girl is. Can she not stay home for a couple weeks or until she doesn’t have to wear those Shaggy from Scooby-Doo pants to hide her booze barrier attached to her frail ankles?

Oh, and because she is such a stylish lush she has requested some accessorizing help from Coco Chanel’s company. She Twittered this out earlier:

Press shy Leonardo DiCaprio does his part to promote his upcoming thriller flick, Shutter Island. Here he is reminding us why we love him on the cover and on the inside of Esquire magazine.

On the nude scene in Revolutionary Road:

Kate Winslet is one of my dearest friends. We have the ultimate trust in each other and the best of intentions for what we want to do. I knew Kate before Sam [Mendes, her husband] even met her. So on the outside, it may seem strange to do a sex scene with a woman while her husband is directing. But it didn’t feel that way to me.
When the scene was about to start, Kate said, in front of the crew, “Wait, wait, this is totally weird.” She turned to both Sam and I and said, “Are you guys okay?”
We both looked at each other and said, Yeah, we’re totally fine.
She said, “It’s even weirder that you’re both totally fine.”

On the terrible night that River Phoenix died:

When I was eighteen, River Phoenix was far and away my hero. Think of all those early great performances — My Own Private Idaho. Stand by Me. I always wanted to meet him. One night, I was at this Halloween party, and he passed me. He was beyond pale — he looked white. Before I got a chance to say hello, he was gone, driving off to the Viper Room, where he fell over and died.
That’s a lesson.

Working with James Cameron:

Jim knows exactly what he wants. Needless to say, when somebody felt a different way on the set of ‘Titanic,’ there was a confrontation. Jim had it out with them right there in front of everybody. He lets you know exactly how he feels. But he’s of the lineage of John Ford. He knows what he wants his film to be. I remember sitting in a theater after it was done and being in awe. He got what he wanted.”

On risks and really growing up:

What you risk just to have thrills when you’re in your twenties is absurd. It’s all part of that process of doing things that are daring to be accepted by your peers — and it’s absolutely insane. You can enter a never-ending vapid hole trying to catch the next exciting moment without ever stopping to appreciate it. It can be a never-ending process of chasing something that isn’t there. I know it’s a cliché, but I’m happy to be alive. I went skydiving and my chutes didn’t open. Two of them.

On Scorsese vs. Spielberg:

The only other person who knows as much about film as Martin Scorsese is Steven Spielberg…. People would always ask me, What are the differences between Spielberg and Scorsese?
All I could find myself talking about was the similarities.

Go buy the magazine and keep Esquire in business…
