Superstar Couples

Ever since ““Titanic” made the celebrity out of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, the audience has been expecting the same formula in their later works.
Ten years after, the two stars branched out from the usual Hollywood-blockbuster type of films. For one, Kate Winslet immediately turned down roles that would make her the next Hollywood sweetheart. She didn’t vanish from the limelight. But her films after “Titanic” didn’t grab the teeny crowd’s attention. Hideous Kinky” is about self-discovery. In “Holy Smoke” she becomes an enchantress, a rebel/hippie castaway in India seducing a macho negotiator, the amazing Harvey Keitel, employed by her own parents. Once again her name has become somewhat a brand name when she appeared alongside Jim Carrey in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” a brilliant of a film everyone who is or who isn’t in love should watch. Her recent works “Holiday” and “Lost Children” earned praise from the critics and even the viewing public.
For two, Leonardo’s grandmother Helene Indenbirken, one of the three most important women in his life, is a “Titanic” fan, not counting millions of screaming girls after they saw Leonardo took the breath out of Kate’s character on the ship teaching her to fly and be free.
“Granny loves the scene where my hair was flipped back as I came down from the stairs,” Leonardo told Gala.
Though the two were never lovers after the film broke the box-office, they have remained good friends.
Kate married James Threapleton in 1998. In 2001, the couple got divorced. Out of this union is Mia. In 2003, she later married Sam Mendes, known for his work “American Beauty,” and gave birth to a son, Joe.

From 2002 to 2005, Leonardo dated model Giselle Bündchen. Though there were rumours that they were engaged, it never pushed through. He’s been linked to Israeli model Bar Refaeli, a lookalike of Giselle, which seems to be an on-off affair. Rumour has it that the actor is desperately working on his career.
OK reported that the pair was spotted dining at Spago in Beverly Hills on Valentine’s Day. Leonardo is a Best Actor Oscar contender for “Blood Diamond” and Bar, 21, is on the pages of the new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

“They walked hand in hand over to their table and looked to be genuinely happy and in love,” an eyewitness says. “They sat in front of the kitchen at the middle table where they could watch all the action with the chefs and seemed to be having a great time.”

There are no plans of a “Titanic” 10th anniversary theatrical re-release, a petition online has been going on urging Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox to release a special version of the film. As of this time 286 people have signed.
