Rumors are flying yet again that Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli have split, but that’s not really new news. In Touch is reporting the two are over and haven’t been seen together since July 14 in LA, but New York magazine reports they have been seen together and alone around New York City. These two break up and make up more often than they change their socks.
Everything Leo does is tabloid fodder, and here is a round-up of Leo stories from the weeklies. The stories range from probably exaggerated to downright unbelievable, so take these with a grain of salt the size of an iceberg.
If Bar really is Leo’s ex-arm candy, maybe it’s because he’s been partying up a storm with college girls. The September 15 print edition of In Touch says Leo was spotted at Coco de Ville in LA on August 26, “partying with the hot USC sorority girls all night,” according to an onlooker. “He poured the cocktails, was flirting with them, and even paid for the entire bill….He enjoyed every minute of the attention.”
An insider says this wasn’t Leo’s first meeting with the coeds. They first met at The Bank at Bellagio in Las Vegas on August 15.
But being a horndog doesn’t mean Leo’s not a nice guy. National Enquirer’s gossip guru Mike Walker reports in the September 15 print edition that while walking down the street in Manhattan, Leo helped an inexperienced and lost cabbie. The taxi driver had pulled over to ask directions, but the man he asked was giving him bogus information. A witness says Leo overheard the conversation and told the prankster, “You’re giving this guy wrong directions!” and gave the grateful cabbie the correct info.
Leo also helped a woman who couldn’t afford gas for her SUV. While famously eco-friendly Leo was driving his hybrid with (apparently on at the time) girlfriend Bar Refaeli, he pulled into a gas station.
[Leo] noticed a woman with five kids in her SUV getting teary-eyed as she filled her tank and watched the meter climb past $100. ‘Oh my God, look at this, I can’t afford these gas prices anymore,'” she wailed.

Instead of lecturing the woman on driving a gas-guzzler, Leo told the gas station attendant to put the woman’s gas bill on his credit card. When the woman found out that he had paid for her, she chased after him to thank him, but didn’t recognize him. She said, “You know, you look so familiar to me, but I just can’t place your face.” Leo’s response? “Have a nice day.”
Note by Celebitchy: This “Leo pays for woman’s gas” story sounds way too close to a story that was making the rounds about a good samaritan who paid for a destitute woman’s gas and bought her kids McDonalds afterwards. Both of the stories Sammie is quoting about Leo’s good deeds come from Mike Walker’s column in the National Enquirer. As much as the Enquirer is accurate and has a lot of scoops, Walker seems to have unverifiable hero stories about celebrities just about every week.
Terrible wax likeness there – looks nothing like him!
Can he sue M Tussauds over those hideous wax figures?
Their couple is boring anyway. I doubt any one will miss them.
Um, I’m single too Leo.
(I’m just being silly, I’m much too old for King Leo, but I sure am green!)
I thought the same thing, that wax figure is awful.
Of course this is really old news because rumours of a Bar and Leo split have been out there for a long time. For two months Leo has been vacationing all over the place with Lukas Haas while Bar has been in Israel.
The tabloid gossip about Leo at clubs with Bar is probably wrong. New York magazine got the story from the NYDN which is not reliable. There have been no sightings of Leo and Bar together. They were at the same NYC clubs but not with each other or at the same time.
Hopefully Leo’s next girlfriend is not a model. Leo should’ve have learned a lesson by now.
You guys are definitely right about the wax figure. It sucks, big time.
I believe the break-up story, but not the gas story.
Leo is a hopeless modelizer.
😯 Did not realise that was a waxwork, thought all of you were saying he just looked a bit wax-like in the pic. Looks much the same as the reality to me.
That wax figure looks like some inbred prep school new englander. I’d like to believe the Leo/gas story… at least it’s more believable than the two Tom Cruise/car accident stories.
watch…I am sure Gisele is circling the leo waters as we speak…..especially now that brady is no longer in the limelight.
LOL Snappyfish! I thought the same thing 😆
