...Although it's got to hurt deep inside, DiCaprio says he's at peace with being usurped by the Backstreet Boys. "I'll never reach that state of popularity again, and I don't expect to," he says. "It's not something I'm going to try to achieve either." Instead, he has spent his post-Titanic life avoiding interviews. "I feel so uncomfortable doing publicity," he says, and then proves it by spending the rest of the evening chewing on mint Stim-u-dent toothpicks, biting his nails, cracking his knuckles and loudly sucking in wallops of air through...

He apparently underwent a denominational transformation after a spiritual encounter with Billy Graham, an evangelist preacher whose vision of Hell is a world in which he does not get to play golf with the President. It's unclear whether Steve Forbes will continue his financial support of an effort to persuade members of his own congregation to abandon Planned Parenthood...
...Savile Row-trained Anglo-Ghanaian has had a storied career in Britain--although some of the stories were about his money woes. He has just shown his lean, smartly cut suits in New York City for the first time. Boateng's signature--vibrant linings that play off the more subdued hues of his suits, yet are hidden to all but the wearer--makes him a sharp alternative for men who like to dress but can't embrace the fur, diamonds and leather prison jumpsuits shown by Puffy Combs' label, Sean John...
