Leonardo DiCaprio Five Essential Movies
My Five Essential Movies List
In the latest issue of Esquire magazine, Leonardo DiCaprio opens up about his thoughts, views as well as very stunning photos of himself. The cover interview features a more candid DiCaprio who kindly shares his pick of five essential movies. The exceptional films that made his five essential movies list include Sci-fi favorite Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey, Vittorio De Sica's The Bicycle Thief, Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, Federico Fellini's 8 1/2 and Elia Kazan's East of Eden.
DiCaprio said when describing his thought about Kubrick and Clarke's film, "It's beyond a movie—it's a spiritual experience. You have to submerge yourself in it with the idea that Kubrick's intent was to make us understand our relationship with the universe. The more you watch it the more questions it asks." After reading this list of essential films conveyed by one of Hollywood's most esteemed and finest actors/producers, I came up with a five essential movies list of my own.
Topping my list is Doctor Zhivago (1965) film starring Omar Sharif as Yurf the Russian doctor/poet who falls in love with the stunning Julia Christie as Lara. In spite of being married, Yurf becomes utterly taken with Lara. Sadly, much like in real life some love is destined for doom and gloom. This epic tale delves into the underlining aspect of pain vs. ecstasy that often goes hand and hand within the most intense moment of love.
Not even Lara's passion for the revolutionary man she went onto to marry deterred the driving force and depths of love Yurf felt for Lara. It was as if he only became a whole man in her presence and enveloped within her love. Doctor Zhivago is an awe-inspiring epic film complete with the breathtaking scenery of Russian winter backdrop. Long after watching Doctor Zhivago is continued to wonder if I could ever settle for a love less than utterly and completely all consuming. Read More.

Brad Pitt Dumped Angelina Jolie But Can't Find Anyone Crazy Enough to Take Him and the Aftermath On
Is Brad Pitt trapped in hell? He dumps Angelina Jolie annually. Pitt tried to flee her by running back to Jennifer Aniston last year when he appeared to break free of the barracuda Jolie and her sledge hammer also known as the Jolie-Pitt kids. And, now he is trapped in a hell of his making. The minute Jolie discovers with each of these partings that no other woman has taken up with Pitt five minutes later she is back at the maneuvers and manipulation to keep hold of him herself.
Earlier this year,Pitt appeared to rise bold enough to end the matter Ms. Jolie who just won’t let go off when he had the L.A.lawyers finalize the parting through official legal separation papers. Much to Jolie's surprise, the custody and visitation agreements along with the formally separation legal documents ended her efforts to pre-date the so called relationship five years for 'common law wife' pursuit purposes on her part.
Discovering that she can neither hold Pitt officially to child support payments as he is not the real "biological" father and her questionable African adoption denies her actual child support payment entitlement. The living African mother of Zaraha who continues to campaign for the return of the child to Africa is always the perfect weapon to utilize against Jolie seeking child support payment for the orphan children she so loves to exploit in the doomed matter called "Brangelina."
Pitt seemingly can not find anyone foolish or crazy enough to take on him, his former co-star and six kids with an unstable stalking mother for a 'baby mama." Leaving Pitt faced with the reality that he truly has gotten the situation with her very wrong. After all, who in there right mind wants to get involve with a man involved with that woman and that mess through those children. I, for one, am not that woman. Ironically, Aniston just might be the only woman who would take on that situation and have Pitt with open arms.
Annually, Jolie attempts to hold the lies and deception together so that she can flaunt herself on front covers that years ago would not give her narcissistic lifestyle the time of day. Jolie is clearly resorting to every other trick in the book to hang onto the charade known as Brangelina. Even orchestrating her own strategic photo opts as the "so called" evidence. While sulking and miserable Pitt seems unwilling to really face up to the reality of his folly completely.
As he is incapable of being a single parent, Jolie continues to power play the situation through those overexposed in the media children. There is something very disturbingly wrong with "Brangelina." If Pitt will not protect those children from the obvious exploitation inflicted upon them through their being ill used by Ms. Jolie then maybe, DSS should inevitably intervene on behalf of these children.
Pitt appears to be finding out the hard way that he allowance of Jolie to follow him around yearly through these children has ultimately cost him and his career dearly as the real praise of Hollywood Oscars and Globes is denied him.
Taking her out onto red carpet event seemingly needs to be a thing of the past. As Pitt was completely snubbed by every award ceremony there is in Hollywood in the lead up to the 2010 awards ceremony season. Pitt does risks the danger of further alienating himself from Hollywood forever. Especially, if he continues to surrender to the determination of someone so fool-hearted and prepared to do whatever it takes to entrap him and his finances even by hook or crook as it turns out.
Sad, Pitt was well on his way to a beautiful Hollywood status and career legacy. Something's and some people are simply not worth mixing with as in the long run there is always a bigger price to pay for adultery, deception and in this case even fraud.

How Sweet is Life for Penelope Cruz?
A great guy by her side, a private life fit for any Hollywood starlet of the old Hollywood days when being a respected actor was an actor's main objective. Rather than the celebrity blow by blow personal life soap opera spattered on front cover after front cover by celebrity attention seekers completely and utter out of control. Penelope seems to have mastered the art of being a glorious lady, talented actor and esteemed public persona without leaving too many doors open into her personal life to the point that it overshadows her career or professional endeavors. She has been quietly on and off the Hollywood celebrity scene for more than 10 years. Penelope is always providing the movie goers with the most tremendous performances in such films as Blow, Vanilla Sky, Volver, Nine and 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona'.
In 2010, Penelope's life could not be sweeter. The twice Oscar nominated actress has received yet another Oscar nod for her stunning performance in the acclaimed film entitled 'Nine.' She has already won the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her portrayal of a quirky yet unstable woman living her life on the edge in the provocative film 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' in 2009. This Oscar win came only two years after she was nominated in the critic's choice film Volver. Her tremendous portrayal of a woman discovering her deceased mother is in fact not decease at all had Hollywood's most powerful stand up and take notice of Penelope's talent in her native language of Spanish. Penelope has had a number of outstanding career highs in the recent years of her most amazing life.

The Tiger Woods Scandal - Why Do Men Cheat?
The world of the esteemed and respected Tiger Woods has imploded like a stack of cards. Everywhere you look there are more tawdry revelations newly released into the mainstream media. Previously, Woods as the long standing hero of the golfing world could do no wrong. Maybe, that is the main factor for such unceremonious and uncharacteristic behavior also known as adultery. However, Woods has yet to commit the cardinal sin of also running off with the sordid woman playing a part in the demise of a marriage as so many Hollywood once respect by all celebrities have sadly done at the shock and dismay of those who watched in disbelief.
Maybe there is hope for him yet. There is nothing more disarming than being the "other" woman and acknowledged homewrecker to something that is meant to be sacred and abiding between two people who have come together in a realm of formal commitment to one another. Such woman never lives down the stench of such behavior or the subsequent title of 'HOMEWRECKER." Angelina Jolie knows oh too well the woes of being one whom opening pursuing the men of other woman. The outcome of such behavior and such alleged relationship is never good. As the saying goes 'once a cheater always as cheater.' Woman would not be wise to expect an acquired man and relationship under such circumstance will be any more than them also becoming the one cheat upon and ultimately left for another.
Maybe, in Tiger Woods case he was in a vulnerable state at the time of his nuptials not long after the passing of his father. The vulnerability a person can experience during the time of such a most heart wrenching occurrence is enough to blind ones emotions or lead a person to believing they too needed to take stock of their lives. For most men and woman for that matter this does mean settling down and starting a family of their own. However, when the relationship is already on fragile and unstable grounding the inevitable is the straying of both a partner's fidelity and affections. The question is then why do men cheat when the obvious falling out of love with their wives or partners has occurred. One would conclude the inevitable ending and subsequent parting of the relationship is eminent and just a matter of time before one or both party head for the door permanently.
So, why not spare the no longer beheld partner the humiliation of infidelity and respectfully part especially when child are involved. If fidelity in a marriage has arisen to the point of a partner looking outside of the marriage then before anything unforgiving occurs then would be the time to exist the marriage and or relationship to spare the ultimate and unavoidable pain of unfaithfulness and betrayal. The problem may be that some men want they cake and eat it too. This is absurd as no man really passes off such behavior without themselves getting burned in the end too. Look at Tiger Woods, for future example.

Julia Roberts lashes out at over-ambitious paparazzi

Julia Roberts should not be the only one in Hollywood fed up with the outrageously dangers of chasing paparazzi. The world continues to hear these stories yet observes actress who actual seek out the media attention through their children make the vicious cycle of paparazzi and intrusive media for publication a gamut for dangers not just to the children involved but to the non related children around or in the vicinity of these celebrity children.
It is inconsiderate to say the least to have "normal" aka non celebrity children inflicted upon by the chase and game of catching that oh so lucrative or illusive photograph for profit. The media is not only to blame, but the unscrupulous practices of publicists who seek out the paparazzi for media attention to their clients so called relationship with defunct actress or vice versa desperate for attention actress using her children to manipulate the media or use as evidence of so called relationship. Either way, the Hollywood industry continues to emerge as the one place in the world where the exploitation of children appears to run rampant in the face of all "normal" citizens having to adhere to laws that do not condone the exploitation of children or human life no matter what.
Julia Roberts is seen in video letting the paparazzi know her rage and concerns for her children’s safety while other actresses go onto tell the media and I quote” I NOT SAYING TO NOT TAKE PHOTOS... JUST SAYING USE A LONG LENS." What is that exactly in the face of her kids still being plastered from here to Timbuktu on every cover there is while actresses like Catherine Zeta Jones and Julia Roberts, and Cate Blanchett just to name a few have never had the SAD behavioral inclination to media flaunting their children ever. They have been just the opposite, but instead shielding their children and continued to be of the utmost fierce protectiveness over their children’s privacy at all cost.
While wildly tailing two videographers then flagging them down in Malibu might not be the best measure for change or conducive of an outcome satisfactory to all sides in order to put an end to the vicious pursuit carried out by paparazzi the accountability still rests on the shoulders of magazine and newspaper editors and the publicists of the celebrities themselves. I for one never really like to hear the woes of celebrity paparazzi hounding scenarios as it does go with the territory. However, the line MUST be drawn in the sand when children and the safety of other children in the vicinity are involved.
The industry should step up now, take the necessary guideline themselves, and set the tone for the practices of the paparazzi themselves. Mere lecturing paparazzi will do nothing when those same paparazzi photographers go to the agents and editors to sell their photographs and have a buyer every time no matter what. Children being photographed or featured in magazines or newspapers should only occur with the written consent of the parents. The Hollywood industry can not honestly say that children too rather than just the adult celebrities are apart and parcel of the beast of the business.
Come on, give us all a break. Who really wants to see photographs of children who are photographed under duress or dangerous pursuits putting them or other young children around them in danger or harms way? In cases of schools venues and school runs there should be a professional courtesy through out the industry that outright refuses payment of celebrity children photos taken within 100 feet of a school, schoolyard or privately owned playground. Refusal of payment for photographs when there are no signed written agreements provided directly from the parents of the celebrity children in question before publication can be ever considered is paramount.
Adult celebrity photographs maybe that of a free for all when it comes to the pursuit of them by paparazzi, but when it comes to the children involved have some decency and show greater personal responsibility. Demand the accountability of all involved from the agents, publicists, editors, to the photographers. Such pursuit of celebrity photographs would never be necessary if there were not the over saturated celebrity publications market feeding the beast of media frenzy and paying the paparazzi for the photographic and video verification of that media frenzy.
