How does one take a naughty dress and make it nice? Ask Kate Winslet! She took this bad girl Balmain dress, which we were almost certain would adorn bodies like Kate Moss only, and turned it into a classy, curvy confection.

Sun kissed model Bar Rafaeli looked ultra cozy in this casually cool jacket at the "Corona Saves the Beach" launch. While she has certainly been compared to Gisele Bundchen (same look, same interests, same boyfriend) so what? We think Bar can definitely define herself and step out her protégés shadow, especially if she keeps promoting great causes and hawking the adorable and affordable Hurley line.

According to NY Mag, the superest supermodel Gisele Bundchen will be putting her bling up for sale at the infamous Christie's on October 15.

Reports state that some of the gems come from the ex-factor. That's right, she's giving away some of the loot that Leo gave her including a colored diamond ring worth about $20,000 and a diamond pendant necklace worth a whopping $150,000. Alongside these precious gifts, Gisele will also be auctioning two giant diamonds that, together, will reportedly go for as much as $4 million.

And in her true giving spirit, Gisele will be donating all proceeds to a nonprofit that aids African diamond mining countries. Touché Leo, touché.

Owen Wilson is joining his buddy Woody Harrelson in Hawaii. And they're not just going to sip Mai Tai and surf. Oh no! They're going to conserve while they sip Mai Tais and surf!

After visiting Woody at his completely solar powered, sustainable community featuring organic farming on Maui, Owen has decided to score his own place in the development.

Following his, shall we say rocky year, Owen is definitely in need of some serenity and we hope he finds it. Really, how bad can it be? Sand, surf, coconut-scented air? Plus the smug satisfaction that only 100% green living can give you. Sounds like paradise to us!

We're looking forward to seeing the green incarnation of Owen's style. Will he go full-hemp like Woody? Or take a more activist approach like Leonardo?

Bar Refaeli might be as well known for being Leonardo DiCaprio's sweetie as for her modeling career, but she's looking to change that. The Israeli model is set to be the face (and the body) in Hurley's upcoming campaign.

This October, most fashion mags you pick up will have an image or two of Refaeli wearing Hurley's Spring 2009 line of bikinis, sheer tees, and denim shorts. The images are meant to "illustrate a theme of a young woman's journey and discovery." We think it's more likely they'll illustrate Refaeli's sexy curves.

In honor of Earth Day, we present the top five celebrities who use their fame to help make the earth a better place to live.

Our number one: Leonardo DiCaprio

The Vanity Fair green issue cover model and hybrid driver created the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation in 1998. He makes every effort to generate awareness of environmental issues, partnering with organizations that include Natural Resources Defense Council, Global Green USA, and the International Fund For Animal Welfare.

Check out the gallery to learn more about Leo's great efforts and see who else made our list of Eco Celebs.

Today is Earth Day and it's a good time to remind ourselves that we can do good and look good.

There is one easy action we can take that will have a huge positive impact on the planet: whenever possible, avoid using plastic bags.

It's a well-documented fact: I [heart] Leonardo DiCaprio.

But it's not for the reasons one might think -- I hated Titanic -- but I loved him in Growing Pains, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, The Basketball Diaries and most recently, Blood Diamond. (I kid you not, his role as diamond mercenary Danny Archer made me swoon for weeks afterwards -- what a difference an extra 10lbs can make!)

Like all irrational, impractical movie star infatuations, my dreams have been dashed by a dose of reality. DiCaprio just announced his engagement to Israeli model Bar Rafaeli. They were spotted together on a trip to Jerusalem last week to visit Rafaeli's family, where the actor is said to have proposed to the 21-year -old model.

Bar is lovely, don't get me wrong -- and to tell you the truth, I'm glad he didn't end up with Gisele because she has hysterical middle-aged woman written all over her (see Dickinson, Janice) -- but mark my words, Bar, if you cheat on him or hurt, humiliate or otherwise fail to uphold your obligations as Mrs. DiCaprio, god help me, I will shiv you with your bony femur!*


*DISCLOSURE: I'm kidding, so don't get your undies in a bunch, legal eagles.

It's been a while since I've gone out of my way to see a Leonardo DiCaprio film, but as GQ confirmed when they made him a "Man of the Year," the kid is back! (Only he's not so much a kid anymore, he's definitely more of a man!)

Having seen him recently in the films Blood Diamond and The Departed, I'll confess, I've grown a little weak-kneed about the actor. Practically speaking, I've been doing a lot of daydreaming about his characters wondering which Leo had better style. (What am I 16? Possibly...)





Mercenary Danny Archer






or






Undercover informant Billy Costigan




Danny Archer definitely has better hair. I also like the extra weight Leo put on for the role. But one also must take into account that Billy Costigan had better clothes and a preferable accent. (I can't believe I'm fawning over a Boston drawl!)

Are there other opinions out there? Or if you haven't seen either of these films, write and tell us about your favorite Leo style. (Titanic, anyone?)
