Leonardo DiCaprio's ‘bizarre' behaviour exposed by UK pop star Diana Vickers
Vickers, who rose to fame on The X Factor before finding success in the West End, opened up about the time when she met the Hollywood star.
Vickers described the time she was personally invited to the actor's home, only for the encounter to play out very differently to how she had expected.
'I did meet Leo once,' she said on her new podcast Just Between Us.
'He will have no memory of meeting me. One of his mates invited me around to his house.
I thought it was going to be a party. Then I ended up just sitting with him watching telly.'
'It was a really, really bizarre moment,' she continued.
Vickers went on to suggest that she was just one of many women invited to spend time with DiCaprio.
'He surrounds himself with these good-looking lads, who are all looking for a good time.
'The good-looking lads go and source these hot women for him.
'That stuff happens a lot in Hollywood. These men have got so much fame and power, and they don't want to grow up.
'They just want to be surrounded by beautiful young women all the time. I am not generalising Leo here, I think that's just what happens. It's quite weird actually,' she added.
It comes after DiCaprio revealed that he has one big regret about his career.
'I'll say it even though you're here: My biggest regret is not doing Boogie Nights, DiCaprio, 50, told Paul Thomas Anderson, who directed the 1997 epic, during an Esquire interview published Wednesday.
'It was a profound movie of my generation,' DiCaprio said, adding, 'I can't imagine anyone but Mark (Wahlberg) in it.'
The Hollywood icon told Anderson, 55, that he thought Boogie Nights was 'a masterpiece' when he saw it for the first time.
'It's ironic that you're the person asking that question,' DiCaprio said to the director, 'but it's true.'
DiCaprio turned down the role of Eddie Adams/Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights to play Jack in James Cameron's disaster film Titanic.
Wahlberg, 54, took the lead role in Anderson's film about a young nightclub dishwasher who becomes a porn star.
The movie, which was nominated for three Oscars, also stars Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, William H. Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Heather Graham.

Shock twist in Justin Baldoni and Lively legal battle as actress Isabela Ferrer accuses actor of ‘harassment'
Justin Baldoni has hit back at actress Isabela Ferrer's allegations that he's 'harassing' her in his ongoing legal battle with Blake Lively. Ferrer, who portrayed the younger version of Lively's character in It Ends with Us, had her messages to Lively's sexual harassment allegations subpoenaed by Baldoni's legal team in the lawsuit Lively filed that alleges misconduct, accusations that Baldoni has denied. After Baldoni issued a subpoena to Ferrer in July, his lawyers filed a motion last week claiming that Ferrer has been 'unresponsive'. On Monday, lawyers representing Baldoni argued that Ferrer's 'opposition is primarily an inappropriate attack upon Mr. Baldoni and his counsel relating to matters not before the Court and irrelevant' to whether the actress should receive a subpoena. In Ferrer's counter-response, her legal representatives alleged that Baldoni has 'engaged in bad faith tactics' and submitted his motion 'for improper purposes and with the aim of harassing' Ferrer. The actress has also asked the court to both deny Baldoni's motion and impose sanctions on him. The latest development comes after Baldoni's lawsuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and their publicist, as well as his lawsuit against the New York Times, was been tossed out by a judge, in a shocking legal twist. Judge Lewis J Liman granted the motion to dismiss the US$400 (A$615m) million lawsuit filed by Baldoni and his Wayfarer Studios in a major blow to the It Ends With Us director. Lively's lawyers said it was a 'total victory and a complete vindication', and Lively herself has now spoken out on social media. She wrote on her Instagram stories that she is 'more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman's right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story.' 'Like so many others, I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us,' she wrote. Lively finished her message by thanking 'the many who stood by me, many of you I know. Many of you I don't.' The judge ultimately found that Lively and her co-defendants had not defamed Baldoni because their allegations were all made only in their legal complaints – which are protected by US law. Defamation also requires the plaintiff to prove the defendant knowingly made false claims about them, which the judge also said Baldoni's team provided no evidence to support.

Nicole Kidman's daughters Sunday and Faith look grown up in intimate family photos
Nicole Kidman shared rare family photos of daughters Sunday and Faith in a sweet social media post. In the carousel posted via Instagram on Wednesday, Kidman kissed daughter Faith, 14, on the cheek while embracing her in the summer sunset. The actress wore a two-piece blue dress, while Faith wore a white halter dress, and both mother and daughter showed off their natural curls. In a similar photo, she wrapped daughter Sunday Rose, 17, in a hug while smiling softly at the camera. Sunday wore a black dress with red flowers while enjoying her mother's affection and rocked beachy waves. Additionally, the Nine Perfect Strangers star shared memories from a music festival with her two daughters, where they took in an Olivia Rodrigo performance. Kidman, 58, also shared a sweet glimpse of Sunday's 17th birthday celebration — a white cake with pink-and-red details, including red macarons. The iconic actress added a few summer moments of her own, including a clip in which she donned a black swimsuit and plunged underneath crystal clear waters for a swim, and a pic of herself reclining on a bench in the summer heat. 'Summer memories. Now back to school,' the Oscar winner captioned the Instagram post. Fans praised the curly hair snapshots. 'Love your hair natural,' one follower gushed in the comments thread, while another wrote, 'THE WAVY HAIR OMG YESSSS.' 'Let the curls run free! Beautiful,' enthused a third, while a fourth praised Kidman's 'beautiful family.' Kidman's youngest daughters — whom the actress shares with husband Keith Urban, 57 — have been emerging into the public spotlight this year with budding careers of their own. Earlier this month, Sunday Rose — who made her runway debut in October 2024 — landed her first fashion magazine cover with Nylon magazine. And last month, Faith joined her famous mum for a sweet cameo in a dreamy campaign for Clé de Peau Beauté. In the artistic short film, Kidman donned several ethereal looks to convey 'radiance' — and at one point, she pulled Faith into a hug for an affectionate mother-daughter moment. 'She's my baby, and it was a sweet little way to capture her at 14,' Kidman — who also shares adult kids Isabella, 32, and Connor Cruise, 30, with ex Tom Cruise — told People of Faith's on-screen moment. 'It was one of those things where you say, 'This isn't a job. This is actually a gift.''

Is TV making therapy less taboo?
We're looking at the evolution of TV therapists, from The Sopranos' Dr Jennifer Melfi, HBO's In Treatment, the oddball crew of Apple TV+'s Shrinking and the sci-fi comedy world of Demascus on Tubi.
