Rectification of Leonardo is going to be a boeddhist?!?
This article was almost correct but I found out that the men he got his sword
from are not Asian fighters, but Chinese Shoalin monks. They were demonstrating some
fighting actions in the Tonight Show of Jay Leno. But they had some time
to teach Leonardo some kicks. And he got a Shoalin-sword as a reminder.

Leonardo is going to a be a boeddhist?!?
This was on television some time ago. But it is not really true as far as I know.
He wants to rest for a year because of the hectic times and he met some Asian
fighters (we know he loves things like karate and Kung-fu don't we?) and he
got a sword from them, but I don't think he's going to be a boeddhist himself!
DiCaprio Sues Playgirl Over Nude Pictures
By Steve James
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Titanic" star Leonardo DiCaprio
sued Playgirl magazine Thursday over unauthorized nude
photographs it plans to publish of the actor.
The boyish-looking star, a heartthrob for young girls, filed the suit
in Los Angeles Superior Court seeking unspecified damages from
the magazine and an injunction to prevent publication of the
pictures.
In the suit, DiCaprio, 23, said he suffered "shame, mortification,
hurt feelings, emotional distress, embarrassment, humiliation and
injury to his privacy and peace of mind."
It said publication of the pictures would be offensive and
objectionable and that a "reasonable person of ordinary
sensibilities would not want to disclose in a nationally published
magazine ... his completely naked body, including full frontal
nudity."
It said Playgirl had ignored repeated requests to reveal the source
of the photos and show them to the actor, who is also currently
starring in "The Man in the Iron Mask."
Ironically, DiCaprio's character in the Oscar-winning movie
"Titanic" is an artist who sketches co-star Kate Winslett in the
nude.
There was no immediate comment about the suit from the New
York-based magazine, which routinely publishes authorized
photographs of naked men.
DiCaprio's suit comes just days after the editor-in-chief of Playgirl
was quoted as saying she had quit in protest at plans by the
magazine's owners to print the nude pictures of the "Titanic" star.
"It goes against my ethics," Ceslie Armstrong told the New York
Post. "It's an invasion of privacy. I can't be associated with it."
Last year, another movie star, Brad Pitt, sued Playgirl for
publishing nude pictures of the actor and his then-girlfriend
Gwyneth Paltrow.
A judge ordered the magazine not to publish any more copies of
its August issue with the Pitt photos, but did not order a recall of
issues already distributed as Pitt had requested. Armstrong took
over the magazine in July after the Pitt controversy.
Playgirl used photographs taken in 1995 by a photographer who
trespassed on the grounds of a hotel in the West Indies to shoot in
a bungalow where Pitt was staying with Paltrow.
