Sometimes when a director and actor meet, it's a match made in movie heaven — so why wouldn't they team up again? Pairings like Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have held on to partnerships for years, creating scores of wonderful films. These are the relationships I want to celebrate: that particular kinship between a filmmaker and a muse. Take a look through to see some of my all-time favorite duos.
Leonardo DiCaprio has begun work on The Wolf of Wall Street in New York, alongside Matthew McConaughey. Get a close look at Leo's sexy transformation for the film in today's PopSugar Rush.
Leonardo DiCaprio popped up in NYC today wearing a gray suit to begin production on The Wolf of Wall Street. The project pairs Leo with his close friend Martin Scorsese as well as other major names like Matthew McConaughey, Jonah Hill, and Oscar winner Jean Dujardin. The story takes place in the early '90s, so Leo dressed in retro attire. He also made out with a lucky lady on set. Leo's working a new look for the film and has apparently shaved off the goatee he's been growing out since January. The facial hair was for his role in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, but in this film, he's taking on the part of clean-cut banker.
Between projects, Leo enjoyed a break from the spotlight that included a trip to France and a romantic getaway to Hawaii with girlfriend Erin Heatherton. Erin and Leo reconnected in NYC earlier this week and hung out with her fellow Victoria's Secret Angel Lily Aldridge.
Cameron Diaz wore Rachel Roy in Las Vegas last night for a star-studded CinemaCon event. She was on hand to honor DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg at the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation dinner and mingled with other celebs like Melanie Griffith, Antonio Banderas, Jack Black, and Brooklyn Decker. Cameron's off in Nevada after a stint in NYC, where she attended a benefit Monday to raise funds for science labs in urban schools.
All the traveling has allowed Cameron to catch up with her pals. Her former jet-setting companion, ex-boyfriend Alex Rodriguez, hasn't been accompanying her since their split. Alex did, though, share kinds words about Cameron recently. Alex Rodriguez gushed about Cameron, saying, "I don't like talking about my relationships. But I will tell you about CD: She's probably one of the greatest human beings I've ever met, and just an amazing light."
Bridesmaids stars Melissa McCarthy and Rose Byrne continued their original award season drinking game in front of the man who inspired it — Martin Scorsese. Check out his reaction in this clip from tonight's Oscars.
Martin Scorsese is this year's Golden Globe winner for best director for Hugo. He beat Woody Allen, George Clooney, Michel Hazanavicius, and Alexander Payne. Do you agree with this win?
News that Martin Scorsese is in talks to direct a film adaptation of the novel The Snowman got me excited; I love hearing about anything that Scorsese has lined up, because he's such a consistently amazing director. Even if he makes a film I don't love, I still appreciate the legendary filmmaker's distinctive style. Scorsese is only one of my favorite directors, though; I've been a huge fan of David Fincher ever since I first saw The Game and Fight Club.
On the other end of the spectrum, I will see anything that French helmer Michel Gondry has his hands in, due to the magical nature of films like The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Just as we have certain actors whose films we'll always be in line to see, we also tend to gravitate toward the work of the person behind the scenes. So, tell me: who is your favorite director?
Boardwalk Empire may not have won any Emmys for its actors, but Martin Scorsese scored a directing nod for his work on the HBO drama. The legendary filmmaker came by the press room to chat, and he talked about the series, why he likes working in television, and his first family-friendly film.
