Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, reunites with bachelor party pals while girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 27, is away
Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted out with his longtime industry friends on Thursday night as they gathered for dinner in Los Angeles. The 50-year-old Oscar-winning actor was joined by old pals Tobey Maguire, Lukas Haas, Ethan Suplee and Vincent Laresca — whose longstanding friendship earned them the notorious collective nickname 'pussy posse' in the late 90s. DiCaprio wore a black baseball cap, black T-shirt, and brown suede jacket. As is typical when he steps out these days, the star wore a gray mask over the lower half of his face. It comes as his 27-year-old girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti enjoys time in Italy. She joined actor Theo James at a Dolce & Gabbana event in Capri on Thursday. The duo posed for photos aboard a boat for the Italian brand's Light Blue perfume launch. In March Vittoria made rare comments about her age-gap romance with Leo in an interview with Vogue France. She revealed for the first time that the couple met 'in Milan. But I prefer not to go into details.' And the beauty added that she's a fan of DiCaprio's iconic 1997 film Titanic, which was released the year before she was born. 'Who hasn't seen it? Or didn't like it? It's an iconic film...' she noted. Ceretti also said the couple's love for another is strong enough to transcend jealousy between them as she explained, 'It's something you learn: if what you're experiencing is real, if you know you love each other, then there's no reason to be alarmed. Because love protects and gives confidence.' She also revealed she has forged a close bond with DiCaprio's family, particularly his mother Irmelin Indenbirken. Last November there was widespread speculation about whether DiCaprio had popped the question to Ceretti, who was previously married to Italian DJ Matteo Milleri. They first sparked dating rumors in summer 2023 when they were spotted on an ice cream date in Los Angeles. They were later spotted out dancing at a club in Ibiza. The couple reportedly met at the Killers of The Flower Moon premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

Bachelor curse strikes again as another winning couple split
The Bachelor curse strikes again as another winning couple have broken up. The winning couple of season 29 of The Bachelor, Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa, have called it quits. Nearly three months the season finale aired, the pair announced that they have decided to split and ended their engagement. 'This is one of the harder things I've had to write, but I want to share it honestly,' Ellis wrote on his Instagram Story as he shared the news. This comes after he made history on the franchise series and also received backlash, being dubbed the 'worst Bachelor ever,' for how he behaved in the finale episode. 'Juliana and I have decided to end our relationship,' he shared in his post announcing the end of their relationship. 'We both gave this our best and poured a lot of love into each other, but after a lot of deep conversations, we've come to the understanding that we're simply not the right fit long term.' He reassured fans that their connection was 'real' but explained that they decided to separate because they are 'not the right fit' for each other. He also wrote that they ended on good terms without 'negativity' nor 'resentment.' 'What we had was meaningful. The connection on the show was real, and so was the effort we made to continue once the cameras stopped rolling,' he wrote. 'There's no negativity here. No resentment. Just two people who care about each other and want the best for one another moving forward. I'll always be grateful for what we shared and for the growth that came with it.' He concluded his post and wrote: 'Thank you to everyone who supported us and believed in our journey. This chapter is closing, but we're both walking away with love and respect in our hearts.' Pasquarosa also shared the news in her own words on her Instagram Story. Alongside a photo of them on The Bachelor, Pasquarosa gushed about their time together. 'It's a gift to find someone who sees the world in a way that resonates with you, while also encouraging you to grow. I've been grateful to share that experience with Grant.' She then addressed the end of their engagement. 'Marriage is a commitment, and it's one we both still believe in deeply. 'After a lot of honest conversations and reflection, we've come to the decision that this chapter of our lives is meant to continue on separate paths,' she continued. 'We shared something meaningful, navigating a unique journey side by side, learning, growing, and showing up for each other the best we knew how. 'And while this isn't the ending we once imagined, it's one filled with mutual respect, care, and hope for what's ahead,' she added. She concluded: 'We're still cheering each other on, just from different places now. I'm beyond thankful for all the love and support you all have given us. Please be kind.' Just last month, Pasquarosa made an appearance on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast and spoke about wedding planning without any seeming indication that their relationship was in on the rocks. She said on the podcast that she was excited to start shopping for her dream wedding dress and spoke about how she wanted to get married in Italy. During the season finale in March 2025, many fans thought Grant would end up alone after spotting awkward body language during the Women Tell All Episode two weeks prior. However, during the finale he couldn't decide between the two women left - Juliana and Litia. Litia had said that Grant had been telling her all along she was the one he wanted - even kissing her a few times before he broke the news to her that he was sending her home and choosing Juliana. When Grant asked if she felt he had been misleading her, 'she said, 'The things you've said to me all along the way make this decision that you've made so much more devastating. For me, the switchup is crazy.' While Grant insisted, 'I didn't switch up,' he ultimately took responsibility for that adding it came down to the 'final day and I had to make a decision.' Juliana and Grant's breakup comes just days on the heels of another franchise spli t. Earlier this week, it was revealed that The Bachelorette star Jenn Tran, who appeared on season 21 of the series, had called it quits with Dancing with the Stars pro Sasha Farber.

The First Night With The Duke – K-drama Episode 1 Recap & Review
Reading a Book is Like Living Someone's Life Episode 1 of The First Night With The Duke begins with a woman narrating the story of a young orphan in the Joseon era. The orphan goes through many tribulations until one fateful day when she is adopted by the richest merchant in the land. Soon, she meets with a prince, and they fall madly in love. As with all fairy tales, there is a villain who hates the woman for her beauty and luck. Obviously, there is also a second male lead who falls for the woman. The prince and the fair lady are about to get married when the story is cut short before we get to the juicy parts. Presently, we are introduced to a woman reading the book. She loses it when she learns the author is discontinuing the story. She takes to social media to curse the author and declares she could write a better book. As she gets up from her bed, she slips and wakes up as a character in her favourite book, The Obsessive Tyrant. She finds herself in the Joseon era, playing the role of Cha Sun-chaek. In the book, she is a supportive character and the only daughter of the Chief State Minister. She lives a spoilt life as her parents and three brothers pamper her. By her side is her trusted maid, Wool-yi, who struggles to understand Sun-chaek's new mannerism. The family enjoys a luxurious breakfast. They all notice that Sun-chaek is acting weird, but choose to overlook it. They assume that she has finally grown up and is ready for marriage. Meanwhile, Sun-chaek tries to remember the details in the books to figure out how to survive in this new world. Her brother mentions an upcoming event for the unmarried noble women and asks Sun-chaek to attend. Her father gives her a lot of money to go shopping ahead of the event. As the day progresses, Sun-chaek decides to enjoy being a supportive character in her favourite book and watching everything in person. She realises she is just at the beginning of the book and excitedly gets ready to see her favourite characters get together. While shopping, she has the unfortunate opportunity to run into the main villain of the story, Do Hwa-seon. Hwa-seon insists on getting the clothes Sun-chaek had already ordered from China. To avoid getting the villain's attention, Sun-chaek agrees to give up her beautiful new dresses. Hwa-seon invites her to tea, but changes her mind when Cho Eun-ae shows up. It turns out Cho Eun-ae is the main lead and the adopted daughter of the richest merchant. As expected, Hwa-seon hates Eun-ae and feels she has no noble blood. It peeves her that everyone loves and praises Eun-ae for her beauty and kindness. In fact, Hwa-seon plans to teach Eun-ae a lesson during the event later that night. Hwa-seon's mood shifts after seeing Eun-ae, and she postpones her tea date with Sun-chaek. As the day drags on, Sun-chaek uses her binoculars to watch the capital. She sees the handsome main lead, Prince Yi-beon, arrive on a horse. As expected, Prince Yi-beon oozes charisma and has a mysterious aura around him. He is rumoured to be heartless and the king's beloved assassin. No one dares to look him in the eye. There is also a rumour that the women who sleep with him are forced to be nuns. As the villagers go on and on about Prince Yi-beon, the second lead, Jung Su-gyeom comes to his defence. He joins Prince Yi-beon as he rides his horse around the capital. On the way, Hwa-seon has an accident and is nearly run over by the prince's horse. However, Prince Yi-beon didn't even notice her. On the other hand, Su-gyeom is drawn to the beautiful Eun-ae. Soon, nightfall arrives, and the unmarried noble women meet to socialise. As planned, Hwa-seon leads the other girls to mock Eun-ae. They even go as far as to allude that she is her adopted father's mistress. Hwa-seon intentionally drops her glass and asks Eun-ae to clean up after her. In the process, Eun-ae gets a cut on her fingers. Sun-chaek cleverly comes to her aid without Hwa-seon noticing. To help Eun-ae and prevent the night from getting worse, Sun-chaek suggests that the ladies enjoy some alcohol. The other ladies agree, and Eun-ae has her servants bring the alcohol. Sun-chaek becomes the star of the night as she introduces cocktails to the group, and they drink without a care in the world. As the ladies get rowdy, Prince Yi-beon chases after a man suspected of planning treason. The man offers to give Prince Yi-beon his freedom from the king and the crown if he joins them. However, the prince has no desire to steal the crown and kills the man. He walks to the river to clean himself up and agonise over killing someone. Back at the town centre, the loud, drunk ladies draw a crowd. Everyone comes to see what the fuss is all about. Su-geyom is intrigued as he watches Sun-chaek mix the cocktails. As the night deepens, Sun-chaek gets drunker. She excuses herself to get some fresh air and runs into Prince Yi-beon. The next thing she knows is waking up in Prince Yi-beon's bed. He is surprised by her shocked look and tells her about the passionate night they had. Of course, Sun-chaek doesn't remember how she ended up in his bed and his arms. The Episode Review OMG! This episode was a lot of fun. It is nice to see Ok Taecyeon and Seohyun back on our screens. The plot is nothing new, but it is still refreshing to watch. Sun Chaek was only supposed to be a spectator, but now she has ended up in the main lead's bed. She must have been extremely drunk to forget such a night, but more importantly, what happens now? This might only be the first episode, but things are looking promising. Ok Taecyeon flawlessly portrays Prince Yi-beon so well. Seohyun also holds her own as the cheerful female lead who finds herself living inside her favourite book. The supporting cast adds more depth to the story. The cinematography is effortlessly beautiful, and we look forward to seeing more of this fantasy world. Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!
