Leonardo DiCaprio is "starting to think more and more" about having a family. The 35-year-old actor has been dating Israeli model Bar Refaeli, 24, for the past five years and admitted a family life is something he has been considering more seriously in recent times.

"I definitely feel a need to make my life about more than just my career. I was thinking to myself how little of it has been lived normally as opposed to being spent on some far-off movie location.

Family is something I'm starting to think about more and more, especially now that my grandmother is no longer around. It makes you think about the impermanence of things and how important it is to be part of a family - to have some meaning apart from your work."

If he and Bar do settle down, they are going to have some beautiful babies.

Careful Leonardo DiCaprio, you're diluting the Jewish race! Well, according to Jewish extremists you are.

On behalf of nationalist group Lehava, far-rightist Baruch Marzel wrote a letter to hottie Bar Refaeli urging her not to marry Leo.

Seriously. Marzel wrote to Bar:

"It is not by chance you were born Jewish.

Your grandmother and her grandmother did not dream one of their descendants would remove future generations from the Jewish people.

Assimilation has forever been one of the enemies of the Jewish people."

The representative of the group which seeks to prevent assimilation among Jews, then added that he "has nothing against Mr. DiCaprio, who I have no doubt is a talented actor."

Marzel pleaded again, adding:

"Come to your senses, look forward and back too - and not only the present.

Don't marry Leonardo DiCaprio, don't harm the future generations."

What the hell is he talking about? It'll be up to Leo and Bar if they have children and decide to raise them in the Jewish religion.

And we can bet their children will be gorgeous!

An Israeli nationalist group has urged supermodel Bar Refaeli to dump on-again/off-again boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio so she can settle down with a Jewish husband.

Refaeli, who has been dating the Oscar-nominated actor on and off since his split from Gisele Bundchen in 2005, recently told reporters that she has no plans to marry DiCaprio. That declaration, however, has failed to convince outspoken Israeli politician Baruch Marzel — who recently fired off a letter to Refaeli, warning the stunner to stay away from the actor.

Did we miss something? When did Bar’s romantic choices become a political matter?

Marzel’s letter, sent on behalf of The Lehava Organization, read: “It is not by chance that you were born Jewish. Your grandmother and her grandmother did not dream that one of their descendants would one day remove the family’s future generations from the Jewish people. Assimilation has forever been one of the enemies of the Jewish people….Come to your senses, look forward and back too – and not only the present. Don’t marry Leonardo DiCaprio, don’t harm the future generations.”

Leonardo DiCaprio holds a press conference for his latest movie, Shutter Island in Tokyo, Japan, on Thursday (March 11).

The 35-year-old actor has only had good things to say about working with director Martin Scorcese. “I’m glad I got to do this character and this film with Marty,” he said. “It’s great to have a guide or a mentor when you’re making yourself vulnerable.

“You need somebody there who will drive you as an actor who you can trust in a situation like that,” Leo told the BBC. “We kept pushing Teddy to darker and darker places during the course of the film, and I think it was surprising for both of us at times.”

That visual is incredibly cringeworthy!

Demi Moore gave her daughter Rumer Willis a pole-dancing lesson during a party at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood.

Demi, who famously starred in Striptease, was spotted spinning around the pole upside before letting Rumer have a try. Onlookers Ashton Kutcher, Jennifer Aniston and Leonardo DiCaprio cheered Rumer on and Leo was spotted high-fiving Ashton.

WTF?! Soooo many things wrong with that picture!

What? Bruce Willis couldn't attend as well?

Leonardo DiCaprio is immediately recognized by fans as he arrives at Narita International Airport on Wednesday (March 10) in Narita, Japan.

The 35-year-old actor plays a US Marshal investigating a patient’s disappearance from an off-shore hospital for the criminally insane in his latest movie, Shutter Island. “Usually I’m able to detach myself from the process and go home, think about what I’m supposed to do the next day and do my homework, learn my lines, yada-yada,” he said.

“This situation was a lot different. I mean, there were a couple of weeks there where I was in a real hole, Leo shared with the Herald Sun. “I think it’s the deepest I’ve gone with a character emotionally. It was shocking how sort of deep and dark we had to go emotionally with this character.”

Alec Baldwin admires Leonardo DiCaprio. The Emmy winner has made no secret of his sometimes displeasure with the course of his own acting career, and he wishes his fortunes were as successful as the Titanic star’s.

Baldwin, who appeared alongside DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator, was left in awe of DiCaprio on the set – because the younger actor had “everything.”

“I just feel like the kind of work I would love to have done would have been more like when Leo did The Aviator. I love Leo. I adore him and envy him. I remember being there with him and thinking that he has youth, he has talent, he has opportunity, he has everything in the business. I thought, ‘What a great gift – to have that convergence of all your abilities and the opportunity to work with Marty Scorsese, and the scripts and the budgets and everything.’”

It’s a good thing rumours of an engagement between Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli proved false because his recent behaviour is hardly befitting of a man betrothed.

 

The "Shutter Island" star was spotted feverishly flirting with a bevy of blonde beauties at a party thrown by billionaire Nicolas Berggruen at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont on Wednesday night.

An inside source who attended the pre-Oscar bash told the "New York Post" that the handsome actor's notorious wandering eye was working overtime.

"Leo was surrounded by a gaggle of girls all night. At one point, he threw his arms around a tall blonde and chatted with her and her friends. He left with a male pal, followed by three girls - including the blonde - at about 3 a.m."

DiCaprio's party-boy behaviour was in stark contrast to last month's trip to the Berlin International Film Festival, where he was joined at the hip by Refaeli, his on-off girlfriend of five years.

The famous duo appeared happier than ever and a German newspaper even reported the Oscar-nominated actor had popped the question on Valentine's Day to the Israeli bikini model after she was spotted wearing a gold band on her wedding figure.

Refaeli has since put the engagement rumours to rest, telling "E!" there was no such proposal.

"Let me explain: these rings, which are beautiful and made by a friend of mine, won't fit any other finger except this one," she said, adding that there's no rush to make things official with her hunky beau. "Yeah, what can I do? I'm 24 and there's still time. I'm in no hurry. I'm happy with where I am."

The couple has made a habit over the years of keeping onlookers guessing as to their official status and took a break last summer after DiCaprio reportedly got a case of cold feet.

"She wanted to move faster than he did, she wanted to move in together, so he broke it off," a source dished to "People" at the time.

Shortly after the split, DiCaprio was spotted cavorting in Ibiza, Spain with 23-year-old Russian model Anne Vyalisyna while Refaeli found solace in a rebound relationship with Teddy Sagi, one of Israel's richest men.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli are seen shopping at the re-open of Armani Exchange in West Hollywood, Calif. on Friday (March 5).

Earlier this week, when the 24-year-old Sports Illustrated cover model was interviewed and asked about the ring she has been wearing on her finger, she answered by saying that the ring was from friend. Asked if there was a proposal involved with receiving the ring, Bar said, “No, there wasn’t. Let me explain: These rings—which are beautiful and made by a friend of mine—won’t fit any other finger except this one,” she told E!

“Yeah, what can I do?,” Bar said in response to all of the engagement rumors. “I’m 24 and there’s still time. I’m in no hurry. I’m happy with where I am.”

So much for the Facebook campaign against her because Snooks' appearance was sold-out!

Jersey Shore's Snooki appeared at James Madison University last night to entertain the students and hilarity ensued including a fist-pump tutorial, a back flip and an abs contest!

LOVES it!

One Perezcious reader told us that Snooki talked about hanging out with Leonardo DiCaprio in El Lay AND Lindsay Lohan saying, "She's nasty!" LOLs!

Snooki also revealed that her boyfriend gave her a giant jar of pickles for Valentine's Day! How romantic!

Snickers had a good time at the university, Tweeting later that night:

"JMU you guys are awesome! Had soooo much fun, thank you!! Def gonna remember you guys for a long time!!!”

They must have made a good impression!
