Kate and Leonardo have been best friends for 13 years, and she says their relationship helped their Revolutionary Road performances. "That was one of the great luxuries, the friendship that we have. We knew we have a trust that's so strong that we could push each other's buttons," she says. "Knowing each other as well as we do, we knew which buttons to push and when, and that was very, very valuable to us."

Leonardo is Skyping in to the Oprah Show studio from his Los Angeles home. He says his history with Kate, both onscreen and off, really influenced the final result of Revolutionary Road. "Kate and I have grown up in this industry together," he says. "We've been a support mechanism for each other for such a long period of time, and we've been there for each other and helped guide each other. It's amazing."

After Titanic, Leonardo says he and Kate had to be careful about shooting a second film together. "We knew that treading on any type of similar territory to Titanic would have been a mistake, so we fundamentally knew we'd have to try something different," he says. "We've always been in communication to find what that next great project was going to be."

IT was a bacchanalian Golden Globes weekend in Los Angeles despite the economic fears hanging over the entertainment industry. On Friday night, Creative Artists Agency held a dinner and party at the Buffalo Club in Santa Monica, where high-maintenance Leonardo DiCaprio tried to have the agency set up a makeshift ladder from a parking structure next door so he could climb in undetected by paparazzi. The idea was abandoned.

Inside, two women were commenting on DiCaprio's fey performance in "Revolutionary Road." One cracked, "He should have been nominated for the best actress award."

Though she may be famously dating underwear model Justin Gaston — and is only 16 — teen superstar Miley Cyrus has her sights set on a new man.

According to Britain’s Daily Star, while talking about going to the Golden Globes, Cyrus said, “I saw my husband, Leonardo DiCaprio. I didn’t meet him. He doesn’t know I’m his wife, but I will be one day.”

Hollywood A-lister Leonardo DiCaprio has fallen in love with the idea of building an eco-resort on an island he owns off the coast of Belize…

Leonardo DiCaprio has undergone a serious image overhaul in the last few years, transforming from a Romeo & Juliet/Titanic pre-teen dream to a bearded environmental activist.

The actor used some of his movie millions to snap up his very own paradise island in Belize in 2005 for £1.15 million and is now planning to turn it into an eco-friendly resort.

Leo purchased the island from Emerald Futures, who described it as a ‘beautiful, pristine island,’ and its famous owner is keen to preserve that natural beauty in a green manner.

The staunch environmentalist has great green plans for the 104-acre Blackadore Caye island which is lined with white sand beaches and dotted with coconut palms and rocky outcrops.

It lies between mainland Belize and Ambergris Caye and is just a 25-minute boat ride from the Belize Barrier Reef, a World Heritage Site.

Leo plans to fund the luxury layout, which will include an 80-room hotel and a selection of condominiums and luxury villas, all with private pools and a green theme.

The very latest in innovative green technology will be used, including hybrid power systems and eco tours, which will respect the island’s wildlife and tropical surroundings.

The Blackadore Caye project will be managed by hotel giant Four Seasons and construction is scheduled to begin next year.

Leo wants the island to become a ‘landmark example of sustainable development.’

Buying in Belize

Leo is not alone in wanting to build or buy Belize property. Known as ‘Mother Nature’s best-kept secret,’ Belize has become increasingly popular with foreign buyers over the last few years, fuelling demand for homes to buy and rent.

Although Costa Rica and Panama get all the publicity, Belize is renowned as one of the easiest countries in Central America for overseas buyers to buy Belize properties.

There are no restrictions on non-citizens owning property, no capital gains taxes and low property taxes and the country uses English as the primary language.

In response to heightened demand, there are a number of new residential developments being constructed across the country.

Belize also boasts one of most liberal retirement programs in the region, the Retired Persons Incentive Program, which was introduced in 1999. Under the programme’s terms, foreign citizens older than 45 can import their possessions duty free and gain special residence status as long as they meet some basic requirements.

Leonardo DiCaprio has been tapped as the new ambassador for Tag Heuer, the LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton-owned Swiss timepiece giant.

WWD reports the 34-year-old actor will be the ambassador for the best-selling Carrera timepiece line for the next three years. Royalties generated from the deal as well as a multi-million-dollar commitment from Leo going to support major environmental initiatives.

Brad Pitt was the ambassador for six years–his contract ended last month.

The first campaign will break this spring with Leo sporting the brand’s Carrera Day-Date model.

“Tag Heuer is a strong brand with a proven commitment to doing good,” said Leo. “It is a great day when a company as respected as Tag Heuer explores a different way to do business—selling products and giving back at the same time. I’m very excited to start this new partnership, and look forward to a long relationship with Tag Heuer.”

LEONARDO DiCAPRIO faces a TransAtlantic dash from London to Washington, D.C. if he's to be part of BARACK OBAMA's inauguration celebration next week (20Jan09).

The actor will be in the U.K. for the Revolutionary Road premiere on the eve of the big bash in America's capital, but he's desperate to be there to witness history as the 44th President of the United States is sworn in.

He says, "I'm desperately trying to fly back. I'm making every attempt (to get there)."
