Having lots of trouble with the board today

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some after party sightings from Vanity Fair and TMZ  ; love the Vanity Fair comments

 

 

 

Vanity Fair /Richie's 1OAK afterparty

 

And while Rihanna and Rocky might have struck up a world-shattering romance in the middle of a pandemic, one detail pointed undeniably to the return to certain kind of normalcy in America. In the back of a Richie Akiva club, at an after party for the Met Gala, at four in the morning, in front of the full accoutrement of bottle service, sat Leonardo DiCaprio: Yankee cap on, mask strapped, surrounded by a posse as the new Drake record played loud. 

 

New York City, for a night anyway, was back.

 

Alica Key /Ciprani afterparty

 

What celebs wear is only half the Met Gala game, the other half is how they party -- and Alicia Keys' post-gala event had plenty of that ... with the biggest names.

The singer threw a bash at Casa Cipriano in lower Manhattan late Monday night, and along with performing ... she played host to the likes of Michael Jordan ... who's still so damn popular, he seemed cornered by crowds at times.

Leonardo DiCaprio was in attendance in his going-out baseball cap, and Elon Musk was rocking a white suit to stand out even more.

 

 

Some TMZ videos from after party

This ain't nothing new, but it looks like Leo still has his wolf fang tat. I wonder if he'll get more small tats, or if more already exists? 🤔

A Brief History of Leonardo DiCaprio’s Environmental Activism

The actor’s concern for the planet in ‘Don’t Look Up’ is also found in his real-life activism.

 

 

Brief History is a column that tells you all you need to know about your favorite — and not so favorite — pop culture topics. Inspired by the release of the Don’t Look Up trailer, this entry looks at the origins and evolution of Leonardo DiCaprio as an environmentalist and climate change activist.

 

The trailer for Don’t Look Up, the latest star-studded feature from Adam McKay, debuted last week (watch it here). Needless to say, we’re very excited.

 

The cast includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Ariana Grande, Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Jonah Hill, Tyler Perry, and Timothée Chalamet. DiCaprio and Lawrence play a pair of astronauts who try to warn the rest of the world of an incoming comet that will destroy Earth. Streep plays the president of the United States and Hill plays her son and chief of staff.

 

The Climate Change Allegory of Don’t Look Up

Production on Don’t Look Up began in 2019. In an interview with the New York Times published earlier this year, writer-director Adam McKay says the movie, in part, began as an allegory for climate change. But then COVID-19 happened, and it became about even more. He explains:

 

“What that did was bring out what the movie is really about, which is how we communicate with each other. We can’t even talk to each other anymore. We can’t even agree. So it’s about climate change, but at its root it’s about what has the internet, what have cellphones, what has the modern world done to the way we communicate.”

McKay’s recent movies, namely Vice, The Big Short, and even The Other Guys, have been unapologetically political in nature. But DiCaprio, arguably the biggest star of Don’t Look Up, has a long history of climate change and environmental activism of his own.

 

While Hollywood is certainly not a perfect place, many of the world’s greatest entertainers have a collective history of activism. After the death of the great performer Ed Asnerlast month, many tributes praised his activism just as much as his acting.

 

And so, in that spirit, as we prepare for the release of McKay’s climate change allegory, here is a brief history of Leonardo DiCaprio’s environmental activism.

 

Baby Leo Loved the Animals

Leonardo DiCaprio’s infatuation with the environment began at a young age. In multiple interviews, he has said his love for the natural world started when he was a child. He wanted to be either an actor or a marine biologist. He even considered himself “a little biologist.” Some of the first films he watched were documentaries on the destruction of the rainforest and its various species.

 

Before the Flood, the 2016 documentary about climate change that he narrated and co-produced, includes one of DiCaprio’s earliest memories of environmental awareness. Above his crib hung a copy of the 15th-century Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch’s famous triptych oil painting The Garden of Earthly Delights.

 

The painting’s first panel centers on God presenting Eve to Adam in the Garden of Eden, surrounded by animals. The second panel features large groups of people engaged in sensory pleasures and sin. As DiCaprio explains in the documentary, the panel also shows “overpopulation.”

 

The third panel depicts, as he says, a “twisted, decayed, burnt landscape. A paradise that has been degraded and destroyed.”

 

In other words, a depiction of Hell taking over the natural world. DiCaprio clearly interprets Bosch’s painting as a parable for the climate crisis. It’s no wonder he eventually decided to take matters into his own hands.

 

Young Leonardo DiCaprio Forms a Foundation

In 1998, Leonardo DiCaprio, fresh off the heels of starring in Titanic, met with then-Vice President Al Gore at the White House to discuss climate change. DiCaprio cites the meeting with Gore, who is also known for appearing in climate change documentaries, as a landmark moment in his evolution as a climate activist.

 

That same year, DiCaprio, not yet twenty-five years of age, formed the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation. As of 2019, the nonprofit organization had given away more than $100 million to various environmental causes, including conservation efforts and climate change advocacy and public awareness. The foundation has awarded grants for work done in all five oceans and seven continents.

 

DiCaprio’s work in philanthropy led to his involvement with other famous environmental organizations. He currently sits on the board of the World Wildlife Foundation. For as long as I can remember, his Twitter bio has consisted of three words: “Actor and Environmentalist.”

 

Before I knew about DiCaprio’s foundation and other work, I remember rolling my eyes. “Sure, don’t most celebrities consider themselves activists and environmentalists in one form or another?” I wondered. But, as is clear to anyone who reads about him, DiCaprio is the real deal.

 

Older Leonardo DiCaprio Uses His Clout For Environmental Justice

As Leonardo DiCaprio has grown to be one of Hollywood’s greatest and most famous performers, so too has his status as a climate activist. In other words, he’s not just a talented, handsome, and popular guy with deep pockets. While many celebrities lend their voices to the environmentalist cause, experts agree that DiCaprio’s work stands out above the rest.

 

Enric Sala, an explorer-in-residence for National Geographic, told The Guardian in 2016:

 

“There are many foundations and non-governmental organizations interested in oceans, and many do great work. He has a megaphone that nobody else on the planet has. He is so respected and admired and influential all around the world from the general public to head of state, so when he says something people listen.”

The Guardian calls DiCaprio “a fixture” at global events about the environment. In 2016, when world leaders negotiated the Paris Climate Accords, DiCaprio was there. Attendees spotted DiCaprio privately conversing with Ban Ki-Moon, then the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

 

Two years prior, DiCaprio addressed the United Nations about climate change. In his remarks, he said:

 

“As an actor I pretend for a living. I play fictitious characters often solving fictitious problems. I believe humankind has looked at climate change in that same way. As if it were a fiction, happening to someone else’s planet. As if pretending that climate change wasn’t real would somehow make it go away.”

Sounds a whole lot like the premise of Don’t Look Up. The movie hits theaters on December 10th and will be available to stream on Netflix from December 24th.

Timothée Chalamet could make Oscars history by starring in three Best Picture nominees

 

Back in 2018, Michael Stuhlbarg joined an exclusive club of actors who co-starred in three Best Picture nominees during the same Oscars ceremony. The often-hirsute actor played a key role in Best Picture winner “The Shape of Water” and also co-starred in nominees “Call Me By Your Name” and “The Post.”

 

The trifecta put Stuhlbarg in some select company as only five other performers had pulled off the same feat: John C. Reilly, who was in three of the five Best Picture nominees at the 2003 Oscars — Best Picture winner “Chicago,” “The Hours,” and “Gangs of New York”; Claudette Colbert in 1935 for Best Picture winner “It Happened One Night,” “Cleopatra,” and “Imitation of Life”; Charles Laughton in 1936 for Best Picture winner “Mutiny on the Bounty,” “Les Miserables” and “Ruggles of Red Gap”; Adolphe Menjou in 1938 for “One Hundred Men and a Girl,” “Stage Door” and “A Star Is Born”; and Thomas Mitchell in 1940 for Best Picture winner “Gone with the Wind,” “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” and “Stagecoach.” (Of this illustrious group, only Reilly pulled it off during a year with a mere five nominees as opposed to at least five like Stuhlbarg or a set 10 like the others.)

 

But back to 2018. That same year, one of Stuhlbarg’s co-stars appeared in two Best Picture nominees: Timothée Chalamet, who starred in “Call Me By Your Name” with Stuhlbarg (and was a Best Actor nominee for his performance) and also co-starred in “Lady Bird.” Now, four years later, Chalamet has the potential to join his “Call Me By Your Name” father in the history books. The young star leads or is featured in three popular early picks for Best Picture: “Dune,” “Don’t Look Up,” and “The French Dispatch.” According to the Gold Derby odds, all of those films have a strong chance at cracking the lineup of 10 nominees at the 2022 Oscars, with “Dune” and “Don’t Look Up” firmly ensconced in the top-10 and Wes Anderson’s anthology feature just outside at 12.

 

Should Chalamet even land two of the 10 Best Picture nominees, that would also be significant: it would give him five movies overall nominated for Best Picture in the last five years — an awards run of success that rivals many all-time greats. (Chalamet also starred in 2019’s “Little Women.”)

 

Chalamet’s best bet for a Best Picture nomination is “Dune,” the Denis Villeneuve science-fiction epic that scored a number of rapturous reviews out of the Venice Film Festival in early September. But Adam McKay’s “Don’t Look Up” is also a serious threat, with an all-star cast and the power of Netflix behind its release. In fact, “Don’t Look Up” could help a number of Oscar-winning stars add to their own rosters of Best Picture nominees. If the film gets nominated in that category, it would be the 10th time Leonardo DiCaprio has appeared in a Best Picture nominee (tying him with Jack Nicholson) and the eighth time Meryl Streep has starred in a Best Picture contender. Co-star Cate Blanchett would also add an eighth Best Picture nominee to her resume, with the potential for a ninth as well should Guillermo Del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley” also crack the 2022 list as most Gold Derby users expect.

Thanks ox, Jade and YouNoMe for the posts! Leo's face mask can never hide his beauty

 

I like Leo's little tat 😘

[Sugarwater]

I can finally access the board! Thanks for all the new Leo stuff! All this week when I would get sent a casting call notice, (I’m amazed at how many films/series have been filmed in Oklahoma this year), I would momentarily get excited and then I would remember that it is over and the call is for another project. Can’t wait for the DLU promotions to start.

^ for all the aesthetic lovers here 🖤 #made by me

 

 

Two lovers ripped right at the seams
They woke up from the perfect dream
And then the darkness came

 

No one's to blame

'Cause we called all the angels to save us

Called them by name

But I guess they got lost

 

Star-crossed

@Jade Bahr a romantic aren't you? I love the texture of Baz Luhrman's R &J. I loved watching [it] when it rained. I'd get swept away in the essence of it all. A platform for my consistent reveries, but above all, sounds for my lovesickness to track 👇... p.s. @Mirella where are you?

Oh, the music to Romeo and Juliet. ❤ You made me miss my piano now. I read that Shakespeare wrote R & J as a satire and wanted to indicate how deadly something can get even when no one had to die. Love makes people do crazy things. 

 

A random Twitter post a few years ago that asked people what they were thinking about a man answered: I am thinking about that Romeo and Juliet could have handled things differently. 

 

I thought that was funny. 🙃
