How charming is he?! My god!
Leonardo DiCaprio appears on Ellen today to promote his latest movie The Revenant, and while he did discuss the flick, he also got to talking about some of his bad luck with near death experiences! Some of his examples? Skydiving catastrophes and plane crashes!
" I jumped out of the airplane. And then my first shoot didn't open. They cut it's tandem so somebodies on your back they cut that line. We started free falling towards earth. And that's when you get the 8x10 glossies of your whole life flashing before your eyes. And then the second one was tangled as well and I saw all of my friends sort of popping off with ya know their parachutes and I'm still plummeting toward planet earth. And then that was tangled for about a good I don't know, 20, 30 seconds. And then he untangled it and then he told me, "Oh you're probably going to break your legs now because this we're going too fast." So it was one of the worst experiences of my life and I'll never do it again," he explained to the talk show host. Whoa!
The actor also revealed that he was involved in a near aviation disaster that made it onto the news!
"Yeah this happened in one of the engines. I was the only person there that seemed to see this, but it was a flaming fireball. It was all Russian passengers and I kind of felt like I had already died and gone to Heaven because no one said anything. And I was screaming at the top of my lungs saying 'what the hell is going on here?' and people just kind of looked back at me and the stewardess came out and said, "we seem to have a slight problem here." And the Russian guy finally said "what is the problem?" and I said, 'Well we lost one of our engines.' And he goes, "how many engines did we have?" "Well we had two now we have one." And he proceeded to say "that is not good, that is not good." And we basically dumped fuel for 45 minutes and did an emergency landing and all our tires exploded and there was a hundred different ambulances there and it was on CNN and that was another bummer," he detailed.
Thank goodness he squeaked out alive! We don't want to live in a world with no Leo!

Award season is in full swing!
Cate Blanchett and Taylor Lautner were just a few of the celebs that came out to Chateau Marmont for the W magazine Golden Globes preparty last night, and we never thought we'd be writing their names in the same sentence together, but here we are!
Other stars in attendance included Chanel Iman, Kirsten Dunst, Paula Patton, and Saoirse Ronan.
The Aussie beauty is expected to sweep every Best Actress nod for her role in Carol, and she couldn't help but joke about what these award shows are like on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. "It gets very sweaty down there. You’re all very tightly packed. If there’s not enough ketchup, you literally lean over and take DiCaprio’s ketchup," she quipped.
Watch the video below to see what Bradley Cooper's ex Suki Waterhouse and Leonardo DiCaprio's ex Kelly Rorhbach were up to at the bash!

Amen! Alyssa Milano SCHOOLED Wendy Williams on the importance of breastfeeding, the right to breastfeed in public, the sexualization of the mammary glands that were BUILT to breastfeed and the ridiculous reaction from some in our society -- including Wendy! -- who are offending by a woman feeding her child in public.
After posting several pix of herself breastfeeding her son Milo and daughter Elizabella, the Charmed actress, 43, has become a spokesperson, of sorts, for the cause. She told Wendy on the show Wednesday, "I was surprised by the reaction and I was surprised that I then was then put in this position of being a breastfeeding advocate — which I love, and I take that job with a lot of responsibility. But it was kind of shocking that [people] were so opinionated about something that’s supposed to be so incredibly natural."
Wendy responded by saying, "I don’t need to see that — I just don’t want to. I would go to the car [to breastfeed], not on the bench in the front of the big-box store."
Milano shot back, telling Williams she has sexualized breasts and accusing her of being okay with Miley Cyrus going topless, with suspenders covering her nipples and the VMA Awards but NOT okay with a woman nourishing her baby in public. Wendy admitted she was guilty -- "Yes, they’re [breasts] more sexual than a feeding thing. I don’t know why I feel this way. I just feel like … I’m a mom also, breastfeeding is only a particular amount of time. The rest of the life your breasts are sexual things."
Hey, to each his own ... but baby's need milk and mom's breasts provide milk and you don't need to go sit in your car to feed your child! Preach!

Looks like this'll be a bang-up, over-the-top Super Bowl halftime, as usual!
Producers just brought on Beyonce to spice things up, perhaps after the Internet responding with a resounding yawn when this year's Super Bowl halftime headliner was announced as Coldplay.
The emo-ish rockers, without much funk, with too much melancholy and falsetto choruses, were named as performers, alongside the safe, somewhat uninspired Bruno Mars (where's he been recently?), football fans weren't exactly cheering.
So will Beyonce bring it? Will the diva turn it up a notch? We hope! Thank good we won't have dancing sharks and beach balls, a la Katy Perry!
Whoa! What's good girl Kylie Jenner doing smoking an electronic cigarette, puffing away on camera in this new Snapchat video?! We thought the 18-year-old had a better head on her shoulders!
More important -- what's she smoking? We're pretty sure the teen doesn't do tobacco ... so it is ... something else? I mean, we didn't see her break out the Visine. But she sure has some experience blowing smoke rings!
Regardless of what she's smoking, is Kylie sending the wrong message to her fans? Whether it's tobacco, cannabis, or flavored e-liquid -- none of it's great for your health and vape pens can certainly be a gateway device. Maybe she's getting paid by a vape company? That's our guess!

While Justin Bieber may have been gone back to Hailey Baldwin, Kourtney Kardashian has also gone back to what she does best -- parenting!
The sexy mom carried one-year-old son Reign Aston while donning a pair of tight leather pants and a white faux fur jacket. The mom of three took her son to a playdate in Beverly Hills on Thursday. And we have to say, despite holding her adorable son -- the mom does not look happy. But we can't blame her -- her former boytoy has a new lady AND is talking about his fling with the 36-year-old.
We wouldn't be happy if the Biebs said we were using him either! In an interview for The Bert Show that aired last night, the 21-year-old said told the host, "I’m being used, man. What can I say?"
Apparently Kourt is NOT happy about the interview or the fact that their relationship was leaked in the first place.
An insider told Hollywood Life, “Kourtney wants a major explanation and apology. She’s not the one who leaked their romance to the public. She feels like she’s being punished and it just goes to prove her initial instinct -- that Justin is too young and too immature for her. She’s kind of beating herself up for ever getting involved with him in the first place, and not listening to her gut. She really regrets the whole thing."

We know what you're thinking, but not so fast...
Kate Hudson rubbed elbows with boy toy Nick Jonas' older brother Joe last night at a birthday party for CAA power agent Cade Hudson at The Palm in Beverly Hills, and we're dying to know if the two are getting closer in the wake of the actress' romance with the youngest Jo Bro. It's kinda like hanging out with your new brother-in-law, except you're old enough to be his mom!
The Almost Famous starlet and the "Jealous" crooner have reportedly been hooking up since the summer, and right when we thought they had cooled off, they were spotted getting cozy on a ski vacation in Mammoth just last week. Oh la la!
Kate and Joe weren't the only big names in the house yesterday evening, though! Gwyneth Paltrow, Paris and Nicky Hilton, Rachel Zoe, Seth McFarlane, and Ryan Phillippe were just a few of the other celebs in attendance.
We wonder if Joe is at all jealous that his sibling snagged a bona fide hottie?!
Filming her movie Meadowland, which is about a couple whose son gets kidnapped, made the actress super appreciative of her home life with her son.
"I found myself going home at the end of the night and feeling incredibly grateful to be alive, and to have my son, and for him to be alive. People have asked me after every single screening how I could possibly work on this film while having a new child and did I go home depressed every day? But of course, it's the opposite. I went home so elated because I had recognized my good fortune. Sometimes it takes the exploration of darkness to recognize light," she confessed to Deadline.
