Also an article that mention Leo at the party. I'm not sure if this was already posted on the other thread :)

Surrounded by friends, Leonardo DiCaprio, dressed in a sharp but decidedly non-formal grey suit, commandeered a corner of the dance floor, not far away from Natalie Portman, in one direction, and Kyle MacLachlan in another.

This year’s Saturday night bash at Soho House West Hollywood was every bit as star-studded and I witnessed some amazing scenes between Leonardo Di Caprio, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. Oh yes. But you’re gonna have to wait to read all about it in next week’s Grazia I’m afraid. Jen Lawrence is awesome by the way, with a very filthy sense of humour. And Leonardo Di Caprio smells REALLY good. He also loves Bourbon and was ordering round after round.

Jay-Z soundtracks from “The Great Gatsby” with Leonardo DiCaprio

Grammy Award-winning musical artist Shawn “JAY Z” Carter has collaborated with writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann on “The Great Gatsby”—in the capacity of Executive Producer—to bring the modern “Jazz Age” energy of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s original text to the big screen, procuring, performing, producing and arranging for a soundtrack featuring some of the world’s top musical artists.

JAY Z’s contributions, woven amongst a score by long-time Luhrmann collaborator, composer Craig Armstrong, drive Gatsby’s champagne-infused dance floors, rumble in New York’s illegal speakeasies, and foreshadow the tragedy behind Gatsby’s “extraordinary gift for hope.” To articulate the film’s “1920s-Meets-Now” sound, JAY Z also comes to “The Great Gatsby” soundtrack as a performer and contributor of original music.

Luhrmann and JAY Z were introduced by Leonardo DiCaprio (Jay Gatsby), and this led to a two-year collaborative effort. During this time, JAY Z worked with Luhrmann and his team to capture, translate and contrast the feelings of Fitzgerald’s decadent era with that of our own, using hip-hop and jazz, music contemporary and period, to bring two distinct American moments to simultaneous life. They sculpted the film’s musical landscape alongside Armstrong, who worked with the director on “Moulin Rouge!” and “Romeo + Juliet.” The film’s music supervisor is Anton Monsted.

Luhrmann calls the collaboration with JAY Z “a credible and natural fit. Fitzgerald was a pioneer, famed and controversial for using the then-new and explosive sound called jazz in his novels and short stories—not just as decoration, but to actively tell story using the immediacy of pop culture. He coined the phrase ‘the Jazz Age.’ So, the question for me in approaching Gatsby was how to elicit from our audience the same level of excitement and pop-cultural immediacy toward the world that Fitzgerald did for his audience? And in our age, the energy of jazz is caught in the energy of hip-hop. Not only is JAY Z a great artist, full stop, but I had heard that he was a great collaborator. Leonardo and I were lucky enough to be present in a recording session over two years ago as JAY Z was recording ‘No Church in the Wild,’ and the collaboration grew from there.”

JAY Z said, “As soon as I spoke with Baz and Leonardo, I knew this was the right project. The Great Gatsby is that classic American story of one’s introduction to extravagance, decadence and illusion. It’s ripe for experimentation and ready to be interpreted with a modern twist. The imagination Baz brought to ‘Moulin Rouge’ made it a masterpiece, and ‘Romeo + Juliet’s’ score wasn’t just in the background; the music became a character. This film’s vision and direction has all the makings of an epic experience.”

“The Great Gatsby” soundtrack will be released by Interscope Records.

From the uniquely imaginative mind of writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann comes the new big screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby. The filmmaker created his own distinctive visual interpretation of the classic story, bringing the period to life in a way that has never been seen before, in a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role.

“The Great Gatsby” follows would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz, bootleg kings, and sky-rocketing stocks. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without of the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.

Didn't the ones on his fathers side die when he was young or something? I thought I remember seeing/reading that...but I'm not sure :idk:

Random, but always wondered wheather leo was for or against gay marriage. Just always wondered what his stance on it was since he never talked about it. But I see he retweeted in support of gay marriage, so I guess we have our answer :)

Via the National Enquierer. Would be cute if it were true :heart:

Gisele Bundchen, aka Mrs. Tom Brady [stats], has reportedly asked her ex’s mother, Irmelin DiCaprio, to be her baby’s godmother. “They get along so well, Gisele really wants Irmelin to be around her daughter,” a source told the National Enquirer . “Tom usually lets Gisele have her way, but he might take a stand on this issue,” said the tabloid tattler. “Family is very important to him.”

Kelly Brook mentions hanging out with Leo at the Delano Hotel in Miami

To me, life should be a mixture of experiences. I wouldn’t be happy if I was travelling all the time, but neither would I be happy to always be at home. I love getting to know different cultures and having new experiences – hanging alongside Leonardo DiCaprio at the Delano Hotel! But then I do love getting home and running around in my tracksuit bottoms and watching trashy TV and eating beans on toast. I enjoy working hard but I also like to party – I think the best life is a mixture of both

Not certain where this quote from Sam RAimi (director of spiderman and others) came from or if it's an accurate quote as poster does not give the source

30th March 2013

Quote reblogged from Untitled with 14 notes

I loved Leonardo DiCaprio in ‘Django Unchained’. It seems like he keeps getting better as an actor; he keeps blossoming; and you think that he’s reached the end as to how far an actor can grow and then he finds another level. He’s constantly surprising and I’m really rooting for him.

Beyoncé Covering Amy Winehouse for The Great Gatsby

Beyoncé is going to do a Great job covering an Amy Winehouse hit.

E! News can exclusively reveal that the "Single Ladies" hitmaker has teamed up with Andre 3000 for a duet of the late singer's "Back to Black" for the soundtrack of the upcoming remake of The Great Gatsby.

Jay-Z is producing the soundtrack, which will be released by Interscope Records. "It's a very different take on 'Back to Black,'" a record company said.

This is Beyoncé and Andre 3000 second time working together. They first collaborated on Bey's 2011 single, "Party."

The new flick, directed by Baz Luhrman, stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire. Originally set to be in theaters last Christmas, the release was pushed to this May.

Gatsby will have its world premiere as the opening night film of the Cannes Film Festival on May 15.

Wonder if Beyoncé will be performing at the after party.
