The woman accused of slashing Leonardo DiCaprio's face with a glass during a 2005 Hollywood party insists the actor started the altercation by threatening her.

Aretha Wilson allegedly hit the "Inception" star during a house party thrown by Paris Hilton's ex-boyfriend, film producer Rick Salomon. DiCaprio was allegedly hospitalized after the attack, which left him needing 17 stitches to close up a large cut across his face.

Wilson, 40, who was previously ordered to stay at least 500 yards away from DiCaprio, is being held on $150,000 bail and was arraigned in a Los Angeles court earlier t...

Russell Crowe was scared into shape after piling on the pounds for 2008 movie Body Of Lies - because he gained so much weight, he struggled to even climb out of his car.

The Gladiator star's weight has fluctuated over the last 10 years due to yo-yo dieting for different movie roles. Crowe bulked up to play an overweight spy in Body of Lies - and admits he got so fat he got stuck in his own car.

The embarrassing accident forced the star to undergo a health check and he discovered his cholesterol levels were dangerously high.

Crowe says, "At one point I worried about it from...

Actors Leonardo DiCaprio and John Malkovich walked away with top awards at this year's GQ Men of the Year ceremony.

Body of Lies star picked up the Leading Man Trophy, while Malkovich was named Mad Genius of the Year at the men's magazine awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

President-elect Barack Obama was given the nod as Game Changer of the Year, actor Jon Hamm was handed the Breakout award and Olympic champion Michael Phelps took home the ultimate accolade for Golden Boy of the Year.

The glittering party attracted some of Hollywood's brightest male stars, including ...

Leonardo DiCaprio missed out on the chance to celebrate President-elect Barack Obama's historical victory - because he was busy promoting his new film.

Obama was voted in as the U.S.'s 44th President last Tuesday but DiCaprio, who has vehemently supported the Democrat, was in Europe to promote forthcoming movie Body Of Lies - which meant he wasn't able to join in any victory celebrations.

He says, "I was in Rome for the Body Of Lies premiere when he won. I didn't get the chance to go to any parties." But DiCaprio didn't let the occasion go by unmarked.

He adds, "I stayed u...

Angelina Jolie and her estranged father Jon Voight are set for a new battle - at the box office. Voight's Body of Lies movie opened Friday - the same day Jolie's new movie The Changeling hit cinemas.

The pair have been estranged since Voight went public with his concerns for his daughter's mental health in a tearful 2002 TV interview.

But he refuses to bad-mouth Jolie as the pair go head to head at the box office: "I hear her new movie, which opens the same day we do, is great. I hear she's wonderful in it."

There's a saying in Hollywood that goes, when a woman turns 40 her career is over, when a man turns 40 it's just beginning. Sex appeal seems to be the driving force in most stars careers and the perception of most men is that they get sexier with age. Thanks to plastic surgery and changing attitudes women have a fighting chance of keeping their share of the sexy spotlight. But what about the men of Hollywood?

Actor Russell Crowe wants to avoid roles where he has to put on weight - after piling on the pounds for Ridley Scott's upcoming movie Body Of Lies.

The star plays a CIA boss in the thriller movie, and was told by Scott he needed to bulk up for the role. So the Gladiator actor piled on more than 50 pounds preparing for the part. However Crowe was so disgusted with his appearance, he will now think twice about accepting a similar role again.

He tells USA Today newspaper, "Ridley called up and said 'Now, mate, would you mind putting on a significant amount of weight? I see him (th...

Red-faced movie star Leonardo DiCaprio was left covering up his blushes during a recent TV interview after being quizzed about when he first had sex.

DiCaprio was asked to comment on remarks made by his Body of Lies co-star Russell Crowe, in which the Oscar winner suggested his young pal was an 18-year-old virgin when they made western The Quick And The Dead together in 1995.

Commenting on the differences between DiCaprio then and now, Crowe quipped, "The two things that have changed about Leo since that time is he can drink legally and he's no longer a virgin."

But the youn...
