We’re starting to think there might be some black magic at play in the trudge to get Devil in the White City firmly off the ground. If we cast our minds all the way back to August of this year, Keanu Reeves had been confirmed to star in the limited series, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese as executive producers. But according to Variety, this week Reeves has stepped away from the role, with director Todd Field hot on his heels straight after. Adapted from Erik Larson’s non-fiction book The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America, the series has been in production limbo for…

Leonardo DiCaprio’s rumored gal pal, 19-year-old Eden Polani, deleted her Instagram following the buzz of her romance with the 48-year-old A-lister. Polani’s Instagram page, under the username @edenpolanii, was active until Wednesday morning, but it now reads that the page “isn’t available.” The French Israeli model had around 230,000 Instagram followers and was rapidly gaining users after she was photographed with the “Titanic” actor. Prior to taking down her page, Polani shared an Instagram Story of a New York City hotel on Tuesday and captioned the since-deleted snap, “Long time no see,” per the Daily Mail. Polani was photographed arriving alone to New…

After “Titanic” star Leonardo DiCaprio, 48, was spotted with 19-year-old model Eden Polani earlier this month, fans haven’t been able to stop talking about it. Given DiCaprio’s affinity for dating younger women, romance rumors were quick to speak after the pair were photographed sitting next to one another at Ebony Riley’s EP release party. However, an insider told Page Six that the two aren’t dating and that it was all merely a coincidence. “There is zero truth to this. He was seated next to [Polani] at a music party, along with many other people,” the insider told us. “It’s just silly. Leo clearly can’t be…

Here’s an intriguing idea. Whaᴛ if you were inforмed thaᴛ eʋerything in your life was pre-planned? Eʋen crazier, whaᴛ if your hisᴛory, presenᴛ, and fuᴛure are all ᴛaking place righᴛ now? An incrediƄle new theory esᴛaƄlished as the “Ƅlock uniʋerse” theory asserᴛs thaᴛ ᴛiмe does noᴛ acᴛually “flow like a riʋer”; rather, eʋerything is eʋer-presenᴛ.

Megyn Kelly lashed out at Leonardo DiCaprio amid rumors that the 48-year-old star of Hollywood blockbusters like “Titanic” and “The Wolf of Wall Street” was dating 19-year-old Israeli model Eden Polani. “He’s just going to keep banging teenagers the rest of his life,” Kelly said during Tuesday’s broadcast of her SiriusXM podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show.” Kelly’s show was taped before The Post quoted an insider who said that the two are not an item. DiCaprio was recently photographed with the stunning beauty at a party in Los Angeles — setting off a whirlwind of speculation that the reputed lothario was going out…

Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating history has been called into question once again. Meredith Clark writes that the online discourse surrounding his pattern of dating women no older than 25 ignores a real problem: he’s made dating younger women no longer cool Leonardo DiCaprio is rumored to be dating a 19-year-old model named Eden Polani, proving once again that this infamous Reddit graph charting the age progression of his previous girlfriends reigns true.

The internet instantly erupted in…

Leonardo DiCaprio has offered his take on an age-old Titanic question related to his character Jack Dawson’s death. Fans of James Cameron’s 1997 movie have debated for years on whether Dawson could have fit on the door used by Rose DeWitt-Bukater to keep out of the frigid Atlantic waters after the ship sank – and whether Dawson could thus have survived the Titanic’s sinking. MTV News correspondent Josh Horowitz asked DiCpario about the infamous door in a recent interview as part of the promo tour for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. When asked whether Dawson could have fit on the door, DiCaprio, arms crossed,…

One question which has kept Titanic fans up at night since 1997 revolves around Jack’s heartbreaking death. We know you know exactly what we mean. As Leonardo DiCaprio’s beloved hero hoists Rose (Kate Winslet) onto a floating door before freezing to death and sinking to the bottom of the ocean, viewers were left wondering if the door had room for two. It’s one of the most controversial and debated topics in cinema, with some fanatics arguing Jack could have been saved if Rose simply moved over slightly. In an effort to settle to the debate once and for all, the Academy-award winning actor was…

When watching your favourite movie or TV show, you might have come across two characters whose on-screen display of romance is quite unbelievable. You might have even wished that the on-screen romance should become real life romance because of the chemistry that exists between them. This description befits Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio relationship. Winslet and DiCaprio’s relationship is one to be admired. They have enjoyed a close friendship for more than 23 years since they met during the shooting of Titanic. There are no signs of their relationship ending any time soon as they are still the closest friends…

It’s one of the biggest questions in cinematic history: Could Jack have survived at the end of “Titanic?” It’s been 25 years since viewers first witnessed the shocking death of Leonardo DiCaprio’s character in James Cameron’s epic, and costar Kate Winslet is finally addressing if he could have lived. If you’re unfamiliar with the ending, let’s go back. The box-office sensation ends with Jack (DiCaprio) and Rose (Winslet) surviving the sinking of the Titanic. But in the icy waters, Rose floats on a broken door. Jack, unable to also get on, stays in the water and hangs onto the edge…

Austin Butler is flying high. From scoring a 2023 Golden Globes nomination to receiving the Breakthrough Performance Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, the Elvis star has a busy award season ahead of him. Luckily, Austin knows how to stay grounded through it all thanks to words of wisdom from none other than Leonardo DiCaprio. As for the advice his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood co-star gave him? “It’s really how lucky we all are,” Austin exclusively told Chief Correspondent Keltie Knight on the Jan. 9 episode of E! News (airing tonight at 11:30 p.m.). “To stay humble and to stay grateful, really, is kind of the core of what we talk about.” But…

With the confirmation of a dozen new moons in Jupiter’s orbit, the biggest planet in the Solar System is suddenly the neighborhood big dog when it comes to moon collection. With the advent of these 12 previously undiscovered moons, the gas giant now has 92 known orbiting entities, surpassing Saturn’s amazing collection of 83. Although scientists face a significant challenge in locating these tiny celestial entities, both planets are really expected to be joined by many more moons. The intense glare emitted by Jupiter further complicates things, and any that are tiny enough to have escaped discovery up to now…

When actor Leonardo DiCaprio attends an awards ceremony, his mother is often on his arm. Now she’s somewhere else: in the annals of biological literature. The actor recently named a newly discovered species of snail-eating snake after his mother, Irmelin, in a bid to raise awareness about the threats that mining presents to biodiversity in Central and South America. Sibon irmelindicaprioae — DiCaprio’s Snail-eating Snake — is a docile reptile that dwells in eastern Panama and northwestern Colombia, where it forages for snails and slugs on palm fronds, trees and shrubs. But the old-growth forests that serve as its home are threatened. Part of…

All the ingredients of our DNA have been found on meteorites now, scientists say. What does this mean? Quite simply that life on Earth could have come from space. Rocks from space that crashed into our planet Earth over the last century contained the five base components that store information in DNA and RNA, scientists wrote in Nature Communications on April 26. The five “nucleobases” are adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil, along with a few sugars and phosphates together create genetic code of all life on Earth. A 2-gram chunk from this rock — a piece of the meteorite…

Leonardo DiCaprio was seen out with a fresh face on Tuesday night as he made an appearance at Ebony Riley’s release party for her new EP. The 48-year-old Oscar winner was spotted seated next to 19-year-old Israeli model Eden Polani as they soaked up the atmosphere. Seemingly missing from the event was Leo’s current girlfriend Victoria Lamas, who at 23 is 25 years his junior and almost half his age. The Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star was dressed in his standard casual ensemble, though he didn’t mask up as he sometimes does at public events. He covered up with a simple…

JJ Abrams and Leonardo DiCaprio are producing the Stephen King adaptation Billy Summers, which DiCaprio might star in https://youtu.be/sC1l_PbhzD8 Almost exactly one year ago, we heard that JJ Abrams’ production company Bad Robot was shopping around a limited series adaptation of the Stephen King novel Billy Summers (you can pick up a copy at THIS LINK), with Edward Zwick attached to direct the series and write the scripts with Marshall Herskovitz. At the time, Bad Robot wasn’t certain how long Billy Summers was going to be, just somewhere in the range of “six to ten episodes”. Well, now we know it’s going to be something closer to two hours…

It is the first time that scientists have detected a signal that originates from another galaxy located 9 billion light years away from Earth. The radio signal was captured by the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope located in Pune, India. The giant radio telescope includes a field of 30 dish antennas all pointed skyward with each dish about 150 feet in diameter. Using this sophisticated telescope, scientists detected a unique radio signal with a unique wavelength known as the 21-centimeter line or the hydrogen line. This signal is emitted by neutral hydrogen atoms. Unfortunately, this unique signal did not come from…

Look, it’s all very complicated. Nolan, who writes or co-writes his own screenplays, is clearly very interested in the flow of time, and the strange function of chronology. Most of his films play with the perception of time, sometimes directly. His 2014 space opera “Interstellar” features several time travel conceits. In one scene, a team of astronauts explores a planet for merely an hour while a year elapses for their compatriot in orbit. In another, the main character sees himself able to peer backward in time through a surreal temporal nexus. Nolan’s 2017 war film “Dunkirk” told the story of…

One of my most embarrassing moments as a showbiz journalist was Leonardo DiCaprio turning down a selfie with me at the BAFTAs. It was February 14, 2016 and Leo had won Best Actor for his performance in The Revenant and all I wanted to do was say I had spent Valentine’s Day with the man of my dreams. But if the opportunity arose once again, I’m not sure I’d bother getting my phone out. That’s because, for the first time in my life, Leo gives me the ick. For those unfamiliar with the phrase, he’s just a bit of a turn off these days,…

Members of the Osage Nation provided feedback and this changed what Martin Scorsese’s original plans were, Lily Gladstone says. Killers of the Flower Moon, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro and directed by Martin Scorsese, is one of 2023’s most anticipated movies. The film tells the story of the Reign of Terror in the 1920s when members of the Osage Nation were murdered one by one after huge deposits of oil were discovered under their land. The movie changed significantly over the course of its production due to the input of local Osage Nation members, star Lily Gladstone says.…

Venus is our closest planetary neighbour, and above its oppressive surface, in the clouds, there is a mystery. In the planet’s clouds, scientists have discovered traces of phosphine, a substance that may be produced by living organisms. In Venus’ hazy atmosphere, life may exist, as scientists have long assumed. The surface of Venus reaches temperatures of more than 800 degrees Fahrenheit, making it unfriendly. No probe sent to the planet has managed to survive for more than a few hours. But the planet’s atmosphere, which is made up of thick layers of sulfuric acid clouds, might offer a special environment…

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio have worked together five times, but there’s one scene in which Scorsese actively tried to scare DiCaprio. Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio have made five movies together – from the lawless 1800s streets in The Gangs of New York, to the Golden Age of Hollywood in The Aviator, to the bombastic, hedonistic 1980s in the The Wolf of Wall Street. If there’s one movie that you think might have scared DiCaprio, you’d have thought it would be Scorsese’s horror movie Shutter Island, but it was actually a scene in his Infernal Affairs remake The Departed. Speaking to the DGA…

Hayden Christensen eventually played the role of Jedi turned Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker Actor Leonardo DiCaprio turned down the part of Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequels. The 41-year-old star revealed he was set to take the role of the young Jedi knight in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith but it eventually went to Hayden Christensen because he wasn’t “ready to take the dive”. Asked whether he auditioned for the role, he said: “I did have a meeting with George Lucas about that, yes. I just didn’t feel ready to take that dive. At that point.” The Revenant star also…
