Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio has donated $1million to Haiti relief.

DiCaprio’s generous gift will go to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund that is targeting victims of a devastating quake that has left up to 100,000 dead.

The Leonardo DiCaprio Fund will distribute the funds to support near-term assistance and long-term recovery efforts.

Former President George W Bush said: “I salute Leonardo DiCaprio for his extraordinary generosity. This donation sends a clear message to the people of Haiti that America’s commitment to helping rebuild their country is strong. I thank Leo for setting a wonderful example for all Americans of helping a neighbour in need.”

Supermodel Bar Refaeli is dodging salvos from the Israeli army.

Major-General Avi Zamir blasted Refaeli for not registering herself as a tax-paying citizen and not completing the nation’s mandatory two-year military service.

Zamir said: “At the end of the day, she is the one who has to look at herself in the mirror.”

He urged young people in Israel to boycott products she has endorsed.

Refaeli, who was rumoured over the new year to be back with ex-boyfriend Leo DiCaprio, came under fire when she married and then divorced a family friend. Married women can be excused from national service.

She reportedly applied to be registered as a non-Israeli resident to avoid taxes.

Shutter Island, a hotly anticipated new movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio, will have its release delayed, Paramount said.

The US release of the movie directed by Martin Scorsese will be put back from October 2 until February 19, 2010.

“Our 2009 slate was green-lit in a very different economic climate and as a result we must remain flexible and willing to recalibrate and adapt to a changing environment,” said Paramount Pictures chairman and chief executive officer Brad Grey.

The movie, set in 1954, is the tale of an upcoming US marshal assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston’s Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital.

“Martin Scorsese is not just one of the world’s most significant filmmakers, but also a personal friend,” Grey said. “Following a highly successful 2009, we have every confidence that Shutter Island is a great anchor to lead off our 2010 slate, and the shift in date is the best decision for the film, the studio and ultimately [Paramount parent] Viacom.”

Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio was reportedly mobbed by girls at a London club recently.

Leonardo, 34, was at the trendy Jalouse nightclub in Mayfair in London when excited girls went wild for the star after realising he was in attendance. The Blood Diamond actor was drinking at the club with pals, as well as the club’s owner Freddie Achom.

A source said: “Leonardo was sitting with Freddie in the VIP area, just relaxing and soaking up the atmosphere.

“The women were literally throwing themselves at him but Leo seemed more interested in having fun with his friends.

“Every time he got up to go anywhere, there were about five girls acting like his shadow.

“There was security present at all times, so it never got out of hand.”

However, the girls reportedly went mad when they heard that the star was leaving.

The source added: “The group of girls realised that he was leaving, and they were so desperate to meet him that they raced out to try and find him.”

Actor Leonardo Dicaprio has said that he is convinced that the paparazzi are “disrespectful and dangerous” and has vowed that he will boycott them.

Making a statement like takes some guts cos you can’t bash up a whole community on whom entire Hollywood survives for their own celebrity status and then to top it he says he will boycott them means he’s virtually enemies with them right now.

Too bad fame comes with people wanting to take your picture…There is no law saying you have to smile for the little ratty papperoni…You aren’t the first one to try to dodge the scumbags. But hey man you didn’t need to blow your mouth open to clarify your stand. You’ve made a statement and its in the press so I hope to understand that how ever big a star you are you always need a forum to say what you feel and to get heard.

He says, “Actually I’m not in the tabloids anymore. I am sometimes, but I’ve watched the culture change. I’m old hat. And I love it. You know what it is with me? This is something I’d like to clarify. I’ve heard people say, ‘Because you hide, it makes you seem ungrateful.”

She got everyone’s attention when she posed naked for Leonardo Di Caprio’s “Jack” in the movie Titanic. Her voluptuous body (amid the demand for skinny women) however did not deter her fans, male and female to keep on watching her movies. Kate Winslet was once quoted saying she has the body of a woman which is made for childbearing and now that she has two kids she still looks sexy and can beat women half her age in the charms department.

Despite her birth-ravaged body as she likes to call it, Kate Winslet is still willing to bare all, not in the movies this time but in the pages of a magazine. Fans will soon see her naked and clad only in stilettos and stockings on Vanity Fair’s cover. Kate Winslet is 33 years old but she has never been insecure about her body. In fact, you can assume that her nude photos will not be retouched or airbrushed.

Kate will also be seen naked in “The Reader” with co-star Ralph Fiennes. She will also reunite with her Titanic leading man Di Caprio in the movie Revolutionary Road. She may not be perfect but who said sexiness comes from being perfect?
