Leonardo DiCaprio Prefers 'Twisted Romance' (VIDEO)
On 'The Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM ET on CBS), Leonardo DiCaprio said that, while standard romantic movie roles in the future aren't out of the question, he tends to prefer the kind of "twisted romance" that movies like 'Inception' and 'Shutter Island' offer him.Right Now On Cinematical
The folks at our sister site, Cinematical, are working hard to give you news and reviews of the best -- and worst -- the silver screen has to offer. Here are some of their musings on the latest blockbusters, indies, and everything in between:- 'Twilight' star, Kristen Stewart, is appearing in a new film called, 'The Yellow Handkerchief.' But that, of course, doesn't mean that she gets to avoid questions about her next project, 'Breaking Dawn,' which is the final installment in the 'Twilight' saga.
- A new Martin Scorsese film should be cause for excitement, right? So why do I feel so apathetic about 'Shutter Island?' Cinematical reviews the new Leonardo DiCaprio film, here.
- As a woman who Loved 'Live Free or Die Hard' because of the copious amount of crap that blew up, but also really kind of wants to see 'Valentine's Day,' I have no idea what women want when it comes to the movies. Cinematical tries to figure it out.
- My favorite Serious Slo-Mo Walk? It has to be when the crew walks together in 'Reservoir Dogs.' What's yours?
- I'm honestly kind of surprised that it's taken this long to get a Kurt Cobain biopic, but now that we have one in the works, who should play the title character?
Leonardo DiCaprio on Being a Better Actor (VIDEO)
According to Leonardo DiCaprio, he doesn't feel as if he's reached the peak of his acting career, and he strives with each performance to match those by the movie stars he looked up to in his childhood, he said on 'The Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM ET on CBS)."I've always known ever since I was a very young man the type of the work that I wanted to attempt to do. You see movies at 14 and 15-years-old. You see your heroes up on screen. You say, 'I could never do something like that. I could never do something that good,'" DiCaprio said. "So, that's the only thing that really fuels me to keep going and going, because I never feel like I've reached what my heroes have reached in cinema."

Leonardo DiCaprio on Raising a Family (VIDEO)
Seems Leonardo DiCaprio isn't quite ready to settle down just yet. DiCaprio appeared on 'Good Morning America' (weekdays, 7AM ET on ABC) and said that having a family isn't necessarily a priority given his successful acting career."The truth is, I'm very lucky to be in the position that I'm in right now. I don't want to look back at this time and say I didn't take advantage of that," DiCaprio said. However, the 35-year-old actor didn't entirely rule out raising a family. "If other stuff happens to come along in a natural progression, so be it," he said.

Regis Grills Michelle Williams on Leonardo DiCaprio (VIDEO)
On 'Live With Regis and Kelly' (weekdays, syndicated), Regis Philbin grills Michelle Williams on what it was like to work with Leonardo DiCaprio on 'Shutter Island.' In particular, Philbin seems most concerned with how DiCaprio performed in the kissing department. "I'm just wondering because he is an attractive guy," Philbin said. "But sometimes these good looking guys don't know how to kiss a woman."

Halle Berry, Matthew Fox Among Presenters at 67th Annual Golden Globes
It's a glamorous and glittering list that just added distinctly more shimmer: According to the Hollywood Reporter, Halle Berry, Colin Farrell and Matthew Fox will be among the presenters at the 67th annual Golden Globe Awards.The honors from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which some consider a precursor to the Oscars, will be broadcast live on NBC from the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sun., Jan. 17, 8PM ET. This year's telecast will also air live on the West Coast, beginning at 5PM.

DeMille Award for career achievement will be presented by Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio to Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese.
What's Hot on Inside Movies: 'Ghostbusters 3' Spoilers, 'New Moon' Piracy Charges Dropped, DiCaprio to Play Viking Warrior
It's an intense Monday over at Inside Movies, full of ghosts and vampires and vikings ... oh my!Sigourney Weaver confirms that 'Ghostbusters 3' is happening and reveals some juicy plot points. Major spoiler alert -- read the posting only if you want to know the details!
Charges have been dropped against the 22-year old 'Twilight' fan arrested in Ohio last week for videotaping snippets of 'New Moon' during her sister's movie theater birthday party.
Jenna Fischer wasn't sexy enough to play Sydney Bristow
One of the fun games to play when it comes to TV shows is "What If." What if Mickey Rooney had been cast as Archie Bunker on All in the Family? What would have happened to the show (and to Rooney)? That's one of interesting revelations (though that one has been known for quite some time) in the new book Mickey Rooney as Archie Bunker and Other TV Almosts by Eila Mell. It lists a bunch of actors and actresses who almost got roles we know and love. For example, Jenna Fischer (The Office) tried out for the role of Sydney Bristow on Alias, but was deemed not sexy enough for the part (as we told you about before). Whitney Houston didn't want the role of Bill Cosby's daughter on The Cosby Show so the role went to Lisa Bonet. And Leonardo DiCaprio almost played David Hasselhoff's son on Baywatch (the role went to Brandon Call and later Jeremy Jackson). That one isn't surprising at all, considering DiCaprio did work on Growing Pains and other shows.
Today to host classic TV cast reunions
Reunions are hot, you know? On February 12, for example, Oprah reunited (most of) the kids from The Cosby Show, with Bill appearing via satellite. Well, never one to let a good idea go to waste, NBC jumped on the theme. They recently had a Family Ties reunion on Today, so now the morning show is commencing tomorrow with a series of more "Together Again" features. Tune into 8:00 a.m. hour each day so you don't miss a thing!Stephen Colbert one of GQ's Men of the Year
Colbert Report host Stephen Colbert has been named one of GQ's "Men of the Year" in the December issue, on sale later this week.
Other celebs named include Will Ferrell, Jay-Z, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan Gosling, and Burberry designer Christopher Bailey. Ferrell, Jay-Z, and DiCaprio are going to be three different covers that the magazine is putting out for the issue. The mag even names DiCaprio the "Actor Of Our Time." Is that accurate? Is Leonardo DiCaprio the actor of our time? And for that matter, is Ferrell the "Comic Of Our Time" and Jay-Z the "Musician Of Our Time?"
For the record, I was going to be photographed for the issue too, but decided that I didn't want to be reduced to just another pretty boy to be gawked at in the pages of the glossy monthly magazine.

Leo DiCaprio developing a 'green' reality show
Movie actor and political activist Leonardo DiCaprio is helping develop a reality show that is meant to raise awareness about the environment. The show, called E-topia, is about an American town that transforms into an environmentally friendly "utopia of tomorrow". It sounds like the conflict in the show is expected to come when construction workers try to build under the direction of some very passionate eco-idealists, planners and architects. The series is currently being shopped around to the networks.While the message is undeniably important, it also may be a little too preachy to be called 'reality television'. Since when does reality television carry a positive message? The genre is forever aligned with shows like Laguna Beach, Big Brother, The Bachelor and Survivor. If anything, it sounds like a documentary series meant for Discovery Channel or HGTV.
