F Scott Fitzgerald and his classic The Great Gatsby is coming to the big screen courtesy of director Baz Lurhmann with the first trailer giving us a glimpse at the lush visuals the director went for in this modern adaptation.

With flappers and fireworks, manicured lawns, falling confetti and Model-Ts; cast Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan are reeling in the decadence of 1920s New York.

Lurhmann, who reunites with DiCaprio (the pair first worked together 17 years ago in Romeo + Juliet) uses 3D and a contemporary soundtrack (welcome Jay-Z and Kanye West‘s “No Church In The Wild”) to propel you through the dizzying light of Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio) Nick Carraway (Maguire) and Daisy Buchanan (Mulligan).

Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio have split following five months of togetherness.

The pretty pair were first photographed aboard Steven Spielberg‘s yacht in May during the Cannes Film Festival with Lively and DiCaprio taking romantic strolls throughout Europe.

The 24 year-old Gossip Girl star made at least one trip down under to hang with the 36 year-old actor as he filmed Baz Lurhman‘s adaptation of The Great Gatsby. Lively was thought to be the frontrunner to land the role of Daisy in the flick until Carey Mulligan was cast.

A source told People magazine the breakup was “amicable.”

Lively didn’t stay out of the spotlight long. The Savages actress was spotted with her Green Lantern costar Ryan Reynolds in Boston, riding the train together and grabbing sushi at O Ya restaurant.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli’s hot and cold relationship just hit an iceberg – the duo have reportedly called it quits.

They’ve been together for 5 years and while the split is ‘amicable,’ according to one source, another says don’t count the two out just yet.

“They do this every two years,” the source told US Weekly. “They could be back together next week.”

DiCaprio, 36, spent some time in Mexico with Bradley Cooper and threw a bachelor party for Relativity Media’s Ryan Kavanaugh in Cabo San Lucas.

Refaeli has been in Berlin looking relaxed and casual.

The source close to the couple revealed “They just grew apart and went their separate ways,” adding that there was no one else involved in the break-up.

Leonardo will begin filming The Great Gatsby later this year and Bar is fronting the Passionata lingerie ads.

Aretha Wilson is the chick who smashed a drinking glass in Leonardo DiCaprio’s face in 2005.   Well, she just plead no contest to felony assault with a deadly weapon in the L.A. County criminal court.

Wilson should be getting two years in prison and she’ll be deported back to Canada after her time is done.

I am guessing that Leo will be pleased with that outcome.

Interviews are fairly rare from Leonardo DiCaprio, especially those in which he talks about his life. Sure he will chat with interviewers about his movie, his process and the causes he is passionate about (the environment) but the actor is notably shy with personal details. And who can blame him? After his turn as Jack Dawson in James Cameron’s Titanic, the young actor shot to a level of fame that was incredulous, intense and insane. Looking back, the actor says he was “a real punk” and he had an easier time with women before Titanic fame:

On growing up:
“I was essentially a dwarf with the biggest mouth in the world. I would talk back to anyone and be up for any fight, and when you tell a kid that’s three years older than you to shove it, you’re going to get your ass beat…I was a real punk, there’s no question about it.”

On partying in the pre-TMZ age:
“I got to be wild and nuts, and I didn’t suffer as much as people do now, where they have to play it so safe that they ruin their credibility. I didn’t care what anyone thought…. It was also about avoiding the tornado of chaos, of potential downfall. It was, ‘Wow, how lucky are we to not have hung out with that crowd or done those things?’ My two main competitors in the beginning, the blond-haired kids I went to audition with, one hung himself and the other died of a heroin overdose… . I was never into drugs at all. There aren’t stories of me in a pool of my own vomit in a hotel room on the Hollywood Strip.”

On dating:
“I had better success meeting girls before Titanic. My interactions with them didn’t have all the stigma behind it, not to mention there wasn’t a perception of her talking to me for only one reason.”

The DiCaprio issue of RS is on sale today. His latest flick, Inception, costarring Ellen Page and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is in theaters now.

Leonardo DiCaprio is likely to star in a new film called The Wolf of Wall Street. The film is likely to be directed by Ridley Scott and produced by Martin Scorsese.

Scorsese and DiCaprio nearly did the project together two years ago, but it got stalled in a tug of war between Warner Bros–where the project was developed–and Paramount, the latter of which gave Scorsese a rich overall deal. Instead, Scorsese and DiCaprio teamed on an adaptation of the Dennis Lehane novel Shutter Island.  The Wolf of Wall Street is still in the process of being figured out for budget and distribution, but Scott loves the script by Terry Winter (the writer/producer of The Sopranos and the upcoming HBO series Boardwalk Empire). It is funny, dramatic and fast paced, and manages to make something of a sympathetic character out of a stockbroker who supervises a cadre of brokers who squeezed clients to buy stocks that paid off–for the brokers, who used the funds to live extravagantly until they were brought down by the feds.

Quite the team coming together for this one, sounds like it would be good. Hopefully the humor factor is strong, I’m not to big on financial dramas.

Here’s another batch of great promotional stuff for the upcoming Christopher Nolan film Inception in the form of banners. (Click any to see full size!)

I don’t think I could have higher hopes for this movie, it just looks cool! Christopher Nolan has such a great track record (Memento, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight) I can’t imagine this movie could be bad.
